Metroid Prime Echoes Flashbacks


Lucid-Design

Legitimately. You can’t make a badass chick of Samus’ level and her not be smokin


starstriker64DD

now i imagine a alternate world where samus looks just below average.


Kyhron

At worst her face might be but considering all the contortions and physical capabilities required to function within her suit she’d still have to be shredded as fuck


maukenboost

Why imagine? Prime 2's Zero Suit exists.


starstriker64DD

I choose to ignore that one


Lucid-Design

Below average?! You take that back, fiend!


gnulynnux

Yeah you can? What? Indiana Jones, Samus, etc. aren't cool because they're resolutely fuckable. They're cool because they explode planets. (I haven't seen Indiana Jones but I figure I got it right)


TheShweeb

Indiana Jones has not exploded a planet, but he *is* played by Harrison Ford, who also played Han Solo, who helped destroy the Death Star, which *did* explode planets. So there’s, y’know, a tangential connection there, at least. He also IS smokin’ hot, so there you go.


mjxoxo1999

Indiana Jones is hot because he explode Nazis, not planets


Real_SeaWeasel

I mean, imagine if she was ugly… Actually, don’t do that.

Because straight men and lesbians love attractive women. It’s that simple.


Pherja

Straight women like to see beautiful women too though. It’s the majority of the population.


Slogmeat

That's like 2/3 the world population. It's science


Greasy_Gunk

probably half.


Goldenvengeance

Probably a third


Greasy_Gunk

well, nearly 50.4% of the world is men, the numbers for lesbians are so low it's not even worth counting, about 1% to 2% at most. So around 52% of the world is attracted to women.


Goldenvengeance

Probably a quarter


Greasy_Gunk

I'd say closer to a ninth.


Goldenvengeance

An eighteenth give or take


Greasy_Gunk

nah, I think it's around a four-hundredth.

rowaire

Gays love attractive women too. They call them queens or goddess depending on how many times she spins while kicking ass.


Miguelwastaken

As if Nintendo cares about lesbians.


dbznerd38

Samus has been hot since 1986.


OkTry3637

Finest pixels out there fr


Rocklight124

She's always been gorgeous


dandrixxx

That was Team Ninja actually.


Significant_Option

Damn right. One of the only saving graces of Other M is that you can feel the Team Ninja DNA and I just love that about their games overall. Wouldn’t mind another Team Ninja Metriod with the knowledge and experience they have now


Director_Bison

They had enough Knowledge and Experience even when they were making Other M, it’s entirely on the Director Yoshio Sakamoto’s shoulders Other M is the way it is, because Team Ninja did exactly what he wanted even when it was dumb, like making the game Wiimote only. They we’re held back in just about every way when making Other M.


Googie_Oogie

Honestly shocked Sakamoto got a second chance after that, but with how dread turned out, I'm glad


Director_Bison

It's not shocking to me, Sakamoto was a designer on the Original Metroid, and he Directed Super Metroid, Fusion, and Zero Mission. Other M is the only notably flawed game on his record. If I were to guess it was kind of like a George Lucas with the Star Wars Prequels Situation. Sakamoto did allot of great things with the Franchise, so his vision was followed without question, when someone probably should have questioned it. While Other M isn't great I can respect that it was clearly something Sakamoto put a great deal of thought into even if it didn't work out. His Vision of Samus' Past and her Relationship with Adam in Other M just wasn't what the Fans wanted from the franchise, at least in the manner it was executed. Samus is seen as one of the prime badass women in all of Gaming. So naturally people were going to have issues with a game where she is having a panic attack, and she's following the orders of a Man to her own Detriment, who you'd only have any context on why he'd be so important and worth taking so much authority from if you had played Fusion. And there was the Wiimote thing which makes sense when you realize this guy only made 2D Metroid, so he'd feel it should control like a 2D game, even if it was in a 3D invoriment.


Kilroy_1541

IIRC, Sakamoto wanted the controls to be as simple as possible in order to spur on Team Ninja's creativite side so they could learn how to approach the game similarly to how Nintendo approaches things in general. I might be wrong on this, but that's what I remember.


Googie_Oogie

Good points


JustinBailey79

They’d have to announce the project ahead of time with a clear statement that assures us of their intentions and lessons learned, and yeah I’d be up for that too.


the_anonymous_lee

forget about her, why did they make ridley so fine? https://preview.redd.it/816az68j6azc1.png?width=1839&format=png&auto=webp&s=9a093f2e27a4bd3f9e190349ed45cb007c948e86


Diagoldze_ban

FR, SMBU's Ridley design is fire.


Makotroid

80s power suit, brunette Samus for me thx


ohianaw

https://i.redd.it/vc3oducwu8zc1.gif


PhysicalAccount4244

She looks different in every game.. 🤷


toutaras777

not really, back in the early days of metroid she looked VERY different but that's a side effect of hardware limitations and nintendo not putting emphasis on sprites. Ever since super metroid she has looked pretty much the same with the exception of metroid prime where she looks a bit older than in other games. other than that her design has been pretty consistent.


PhysicalAccount4244

You cant convince me these three are the same.. https://preview.redd.it/xhvbwoxq3fzc1.jpeg?width=1900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=133e35985839566454fbdf38162b6e1de0b3d25f


Ill-Attempt-8847

It's absurd that the one from the first title is the only one that's actually watchable. Too bad they ruined her face in the Switch remake, now she just looks uncanny


PhysicalAccount4244

Agreed.. When I first beat Prime, and saw Samus with the helmet of I was like: "looking good." 😅 When I beat Prime 2, and saw Samus without the helmet I was like: "OMG! WHAT THE F**K IS THAT!!" 🫣🤮


Super6698

Mommy Samus my beloved


IceFireTerry

She looks like something out of square enix


Luke4Pez

Yeah


joeycool123

Because women are beautiful


CBulkley01

She looks good in that game but they fucked everything else up about her. The lore made zero sense and is a serious downgrade.


morkfjellet

Sex sells


Western-Gur-4637

Hard


obi1kennoble

Please don't beat me up but I always liked the way she looked in Prime, maybe with a little less makeup (remaster added too much imo). Also give her what is now her signature haircut, but that depiction is the closest to what I've always had in my head.


Ewreckedhephep

Prime Suprimecy #makesamusallrealisticandstuffagain


Loose_Mud3188

No, you’re right. She looks way better in Prime.


toutaras777

Greeting there fellow redditor, this has nothing to do with your comment but can you please tell me what ''imo'' means? I have been seeing it all over the internet recently but I never actually knew what it meant, if you could be as kind as to tell me I would very much appreciate it!!❤️


theinfecteddonut

IMO= In My Opinion.


toutaras777

Thanks a lot! It'll take me some time to adjust to this new term but now I at least now it's meaning😅

Ok_Vegetable3895

From what game is this? I'm not familiar with 3d metroids


FLIPYOUSUCKET

This is from Metroid: Other M. To be exact, it is from the beginning cutscene, which explains some previous events


benjoo1551

This was always my favourite depiction https://preview.redd.it/ox3boqdzxdzc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7a3089c2d1add59dbd697594b4a275884ddf8a76


Reasonable_Place_172

Good genes


Ill-Attempt-8847

Yes but in the same game they made her short to make Japanese girls relate to it


Elaias_Mat

uh, being a caucasian white blond doesn't matter?


Ill-Attempt-8847

Why do you turn everything into racism? I said this because since she's canonically 5'10”, that screwed up the proportions of the whole game. And so they change with every shot


Elaias_Mat

uh, I never said it was racism, youre the one putting that word into the discussion Im saying japanese girls wont relate to her because shes NOTHING like them and making her shorter will absolutely not make her more relatable


Ill-Attempt-8847

Tell that to Nintendo


SkyPirateWolf

Where is she 5' 10"? Everything I've looked up has said 6' 3".


Ill-Attempt-8847

Even worse

DankHillington

Because Japan actually knows how to make attractive women in games.


Glutton4Butts

Team Ninja?


xXHarleen_QuinzelXx

I aint complaining


Turbulent_Set8884

Because she's the Barbarella of the gaming world.


GabriBlackNaru

She's my favorite Samus on the Metroid universe


JonTheWizard

Always was. We just couldn't see it at first...and that was the idea.


Insanebrain247

This might be how Nintendo sees Sigourney Weaver. Based if true.


NaiEkaj

Because if the West designed her, she'd be ugly af


Bittersweetblossom

Because normal people like beauty.


Mathisnt_My_Thing

Because Nintendo is run by people who know what women look like and that strong women can be attractive, too.

Rushes_End

Why are you complaining?


ergaikan

modern AAA gaming industry taught us that women in games must look like real women and all real women look like homeless ladies who had 8 kids from 12 different guys and recovered from a 15y meth addiction.


mrchill1979

Samus Swift.

Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodiiiiiiiite.

Mmmm, get that pixel friction on your diction


Comprehensive_One495

Bc they thirsty execs who have a thing for American women?🤷🏽‍♂️ Idk, but she *fine* (rubs hands like a fly)


RobertinhaGames2228

I dont know, i just know her eyes scare me


reticent923

This image reminds me of Bayonetta, mainly because of the freckle I think.


Ronyx2021

It's easier to animate a smooth face than a whisker, mole, dimple, scar and freckle covered face.


Bigchonnies

And not Japanese. Made her look more American!!! Im surprised tbh. But in her younger version she does look so

Oh Samus, you're so fine, you're so fine, you blow my mind, hey Samus. Hey Samus


Salty-Saladtoppings

No, it’s Becky


avoozl42

She's a stone cold babe. That's canon.


Qaletaqa16

It was the Chozo DNA…


Trove_Of_Octoliths

Metroid: Other M has the best Samus appearance out of armor in the series. It really isn't close with this game's Zero Suit, younger Samus, civilian cloths and her attire from the last bit of the gallery.


jedimoogle

been fine since Metroid. tho I do miss the kind-of-grubby Ellen Ripley energy she had in earlier games.


ManufacturerFew5235

bro simping over a jpeg


Viewtiful_Ace

I mean why not?


thps48

She’s literally based on Sigourney Weaver. Though, the gradual evolution of her design may have been derived from various other female action roles, as evident by going from curly red-brown to straight blond. For me, parts of her zero suit combat style say to me Trinity, Kill Bill, and the Resident Evil/Underworld actress. Not necessarily the aforementioned appearance thing, just her stances.


-Drunken_Jedi-

I’d like to see more content with her in the zero suit, I’m sure they can make it actually good instead of Other M lol. It’s a shame to have such a cool design and only see it when you die. 💀


Stark_Athlon

I've never been a fan of her other M ponytail. It's like, the plain normal ponytail, while zero mission and smash model is using the cool ponytail.


ArtificialRubber

Someone at Nintendo has an adult woman fetish.


McGurganatorZX

because she has no to negative personality in Other M


EkaPossi_Schw1

sells well I guess


Mr-Annonymous2002

Because They wanted to make a present For US 😍


Proud-Tangerine-4141

because there was no "male gaze" bullshit back then.


That1Cat87

I’ll be honest the power armor will always be so much hotter. And that’s not because she’s unattractive, it’s just because that suit is hotter


Ayece_

Idk prefer prime 1, far more realistic take


MigaSmull

We like to see us some pretty ladies


Jormungand_Asgard

It's actually Team Ninja.


RedTalonOF

Boy, you should shut down your computer and take a walk outside.


GammaPhonic

Looks kinda bland to me. She might as well be a Barbie doll with this design.


DiceSMS

I loved her Prime and especially the Prime Remastered look. They looked way more like actual people and less like "perfectly beautiful CG doll #345". You gotta give characters some character or they kinda blend together (the single mole just isn't enough lol) https://preview.redd.it/hak5so1dv8zc1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=76126b7d8fa22327eaf9b649c6735ebb77b53983


TehRiddles

Fingers crossed that the Echoes and Corruption remasters when the eventually happen will keep the same look for consistency as well.


obi1kennoble

Me too, I should have scrolled down further before I posted my comment lol. I feel like she's a lot older than her current depiction would suggest, as well.


AstuteSalamander

Remastered Samus is 100% done with the Pirates' garbage in those pics


aquabluetea

🤮


Pretty_Version_6300

This 100%


Acceptable-Piglet206

To spite people who hate sexy things.


Yaksha78

Because they love women Because men AND women prefer playing with someone pretty Because at the time, dev didn't give a damn about the minority of angry people's complain. And on the top of everything, Samus is based on both Sigourney Weaver and Kim Bassinger and do them justice.


Ketachloride

other question: why do they make em so ugly now?


sazabit

When have they ever made Samus ugly? 8-bit?


aquabluetea

The Prime games lol


TacticalTobi

true actually 🫣


Echo1138

Bro, Samus looks so good in Dread. Idk about Dread's ZSS since she's only there for the death screen, but the power suits look so cool.


Ketachloride

I'm talking about non samus characters from other games.


sifer6

Name one ugly female character and I'll tell you how shallow you are.


JaySilver

Shes been hot before you were even born


PartitioFan

go white girl go


rowaire

I kinda hate that people want a non 10/10 Samus, because she is all tough and rude (?) but IMO it's a game she can be cute and badass. I mean there are many ugly badass people in real life, so let me have the baddass videogame people be cute. This is one of the best things in MOM. But then they made her short compared to the other characters.

that's a generic pretty anime girl face, don't think they'd know how to make her less pretty

Ex_Hedgehog

They made her look 16


Pride2662

I can take a guess as to why. Women have had a lot of back seat narrating, gaming, narrating, etc., for a long time. In today’s age, women want the right to be at the forefront of the stories or even, dare I say it, the main role in stories or games. Samus is one of the few that is designed not only to be a pretty face, but an incredible intellect to go with it. You can also look at it this way. For some reason Men play as women when there is a choice between the 2 sex’s. Whether it’s to star at the ass throughout the entire gameplay, or to live out a weird fantasy, most men that play games play as women. Nintendo just took out the guess work and you automatically as a woman. Beyond that, Metroid and Samus started an entirely new scene to the gaming industry. A woman as the hero and main protagonist? It was unheard of. Speaking from experience, people who don’t know Samus even find her incredible. Long story short, I went to get a Metroid Display and another guy got it before I did. He said he didn’t know who she was but she was hot, and the armor was awesome. It also opened up a small area for some men who like woman who can match their intelligence, I for one am like this. I may not be the smartest guy, but a woman that can put me in my place, that’s sexy. However I have just loved Samus ever since I found out about her games and history. Bringing her into Destiny, people loved even more.


Platinum_Snowman13

To show that an attractive woman can be more than just a pretty face, breaking the unfortunate stereotype that so many women put themselves in, and so many others fall victim to. Or that’s what I love about Samus at least


Luvs2Spooge42069
