I wish the games would put more emphasis on Samus being a mercenary. I want a spinoff that's just Bounty Hunter Simulator.
>>716312024 (OP)They didn't know what a bounty hunter was when they gave her that job.
IIRC "It just sounded cool."
Same as captain falcon
>>716313315Yeah yeah, we all know that story by now. Old businessmen are fucking stupid. There's no excuse now, especially since Dread acknowledged it directly.
the mercenary fantasy is underrated
MGSV was great
Treasures of the Deep was great
the original Air Combat (first Ace Combat game) was great
Armored Core games are great
What do they have in common?
That's right you're a merc

There's also basic operational overhead. Even if we pretend that the suit auto-repairs(which seems to be a long term regen anyway), there's still ship maintenance, fuel, intel, prisoner housing, medical bills, groceries, rent, etc. Being a hero ain't cheap.
>>716318663Also cleaning and pubic hair trimming
>>716317717 And every one of those games makes you feel like you're getting your hands dirty for cold hard creds. None of that "chosen one" BS, just a lethal professional taking contracts and cashing checks. It's wild how rare that fantasy is considering how flexible it is. You can drop a merc into literally any setting-space, jungle, post-apocalypse, underwater-and it just works.
>>716312024 (OP)I wish the games put more emphasis on Samus being a bird
>>716319741*Pubic feather plucking
>>716320315Exactly! Mercs have a built in justification for adventure. Even if they're good-aligned, they're still motivated by cash and willing to use dirtier methods. Mercs make for great protagonists who are easy to write.
>>716318663>medical billno way in fucking hell post fusion Samus is going to use any public hospital. she's a walking calamity and her blood is worth gorillions in the wrong hands.
also I'm pretty sure she lays an egg once per month by now after the metroid infusion. her DNA is such a tangled mess.
>>716320625I feel like if they were easy to write there'd be more of them.
My only guess as to why they aren't more popular is that they exist outside of the master/slave dynamic that governments and religions want to frame people as? against commoner morality?
Mercs are self directed, selfish, and free - or at least freer than your average man. I can only assume that's the barrier that prevents them from being more popular.
>>716312024 (OP)I prefer the hoodie version.
>>716320607anon the chozo only looked like birds. they act like super native americans. you're more likely to see off-duty samus dress like pokahontas than you are seeing her Cock-A-Doodle-Doo every morning in the depths of space.
>>716321310I'd love to see Samus in traditional chozo garb in some religious ritual. Praying to the ancestors.
>>716320817This is a storyline that would be in an ongoing comic or something. Samus is the last living archive of chozo culture and technology. She's sitting on the remains of her adopted civilization. The scientific community must be salty as fuck at her for keeping it to herself.

>>716320817I'm curious as to whether the X at the end of Dread neutralized that particular fit of Metroid abilities or if it actually neutralized the Metroid DNA in her. I hope it's the former since I feel like the Metroid Suit should become a staple moving forward, maybe as a power up state you can enter.
>>716312024 (OP)I want a gritty reboot with short-hair samus swearing like a sailor
>>716330121More than anything I feel like Samus is in need of some new powers. So there's more to gain by keeping her a Metroid than there is to lose. I mean her getting the Fusion Suit led to the creation of the Ice and Diffusion Missiles. Just make some Metroid specific abilities
WHERE THE FUCK IS IT META

>>716332463I would like to imagine her a big military nerd/otaku.
>>716329151If I had to take a wild swing, it's a mobility upgrade of some kind. An interesting detail here is that the suit frees up room around her joints.

https://youtu.be/4zcvk1Oaqnk
>>716332685Prime's suit design in general frees up room around her joints. It's really just her shoulders have that some freed up room in comparison with the new suit.
>>716332191What's her social life like? Considering she probably doesn't have any lasting bonds due to her job.
>>716332939I'm guessing two weeks. The series anniversary is on the 6th.
>>716333232Probably a lot of work relationships. Mechanics and dealers that she trusts but no one that she'd invite home
>>716315248It also kind of brings up the question of what she would be doing if she wasn't a bounty hunter.
I mean, she's basically the most badass unit in the universe, and that's before splicing her dna with a life form magic bird people created just to give themselves worthy to hunt that the rest of the universe could no longer provide.
She can do whatever the hell she wants and literally nobody is going to stop her, so sure, let's go spelunking for buried treasure or whatever.
>>716334514It seems like being a Bounty Hunter is the only trade that can match her strength. I mean what the fuck else is she gonna do? Be the most powerful tax attorney in existence? Use her hyper awareness and super strength to model bikinis?

OH FUCK THE HUNTER IS HERE EVERYONE PANIC AND ALSO BUILD MORE STEAM FILLED CORRIDORS
>>716331810Looking for a boyfriend.
>>716321081More likely it's harder to write them as proper good guys, the very title bounty hunter (and mercenary while we're at it) implies at least little moral flexability to the modern viewer. Everyone likes to talk about Grey morality being "more mature" but it doesn't really happen, it's either pure black and white with only the faintest veneer of attempting "greyness", or "everyone is an asshole but this one guy has the benifit of being the main character so we're supposed to root for him".
>>716340751Why is she making that face
>>716341018She needs to absorb human DNA and you just told her how many Space Pirates you killed this week.
Earning that coin and killing monsters.
>>716340751I don't think she is interested in a boyfriend, I think once every three months or so she goes out and looks for a guy to pump and dump, and then goes back to her job or whatever.

>>716341606I don't think she cares about having a warm bed and it's probably more convenient for her to just go out once in a blue moon and fulfill her urges at once.
Hell she probably would even just pay for it, she just has never needed to for reasons she doesn't quite grasp and doesn't care much to understand.
>>716312024 (OP)I'm rather content with her bounty hunter stuff being in the background, since her being a space hero is generally more important to her character.
>>716321310Aren't they more like Super Egyptians post-Fusion?
>>716329151There are areas/enemies that fuck with Samus psychically. Not damage per se, but things that make traversing the world more difficult. Basically it'll be what most of the suits in the Prime games did.

>>716340471Samus please post yourself in ball form
>>716317717Brigador and Mountain Blade with mods are great merc sims. Nova Aetas would've been a lot better in that regard if it wasn't buggy as shit.
>>716355289>Source: My ass.
>>716355289Is Bananza particular in the problems that it has?
To me it would seem that it just corresponds to a number of things that aren't worked out properly about the Switch 2, or even the original switch, like performance.
Even then how can it really still be this hard to properly put out a game in the style of their bread and butter.
In any case, I'm not convinced by that reasoning. The trailers and showcases for Prime 4 haven't been bad, but they're also quite lukewarm, if they're that worked up about it I would have expected something at least a little different than what we got in this timeframe.
>>716356776damn anon that's a beautiful moth
>>716355289DK Banaza is fucking great, this asshole is just making up bullshit.
We've got a Direct coming next week, just hold on bros.
>>716357394Some really good pictures from this guy. The Luminoth are cool
I'd really like to be able to see them again, where we get to see the state of their rebuilding effort.
In line with people wanting a bounty hunter focused game I think it'd be cool if you had it where you could earn stuff doing all sorts of missions and then use those earned resources to do things like provide aid or achieve other goals.
Like one mission has you helping to evacuate a colony because it's going to get nuked and then later you help it reestablish by providing materials and doing patrol missions in the area.
Stuff that ties together things that Samus would do like that.
>>716357394The Luminoth are great. Rare put a lot of thought into these folks.
>>716358428>multiple funding goalsThat's a super interesting idea, actually. I like that. Providing aid to the restoration of Aether is an obvious one.
>>716358786I'm glad you think so. The devil is in the details, but a game like that would really provide an interesting way to explore the things in the Metroid universe that people have come to like, in a natural way, as well as Samus herself a little.
You'd need some incentives like equipment of ship upgrades too, but I'd like to think you could evoke the feeling of doing things for their own sake by rewarding players with nice and cool things to see.
Reading these threads you'd think it would be enough to simply rewards players with scenes of Samus doing various things in the galaxy and in her hideout.
>>716320817>Donates blood at a normal hospital>Blood gets used for a blood transfusion for some wagie that had an accidentWhat happens next?
>>716338206>not /h/>not /d/
>>716357939No he's talking about the performance not the actual game quality and I have to agree with him the game does stutter. It's better in handheld mode but on the dock the stuttering is kinda annoying though not game ruining.
>>716360403Sylux happens. He's just some Rando Samus wannabe
>>716359978>You'd need some incentives like equipment of ship upgrades too, but I'd like to think you could evoke the feeling of doing things for their own sake by rewarding players with nice and cool things to see.Part of the gameplay balance is the decision to upgrade your abilities vs giving more charity and making immediate progress.
>Reading these threads you'd think it would be enough to simply rewards players with scenes of Samus doing various things in the galaxy and in her hideout.Absolutely. Samus is fun character, and we like playing her do her thing.
>>716360403>be some nobody>lose a leg during an accident in a Federation factory producing crates, apparently they get destroyed a lot.>Samus' blood actually not reactive to normal humans>but you happen to be a descendant from a human that was around when the Chozo were still in their anal probing phase>initially feel fine, apart from losing a fucking leg.>after a while you start to feel cravings>for Fuel Gel>or anything that seems like it could provide energy>start having these blackouts where you don't remember what you were doing>was the stump of your leg always this long?>long story short, end up a federation research specimen>until Samus gets wind of the situation and demands for them to simply cure you.Or you become pic related, I dunno
>>716359978It could make for a pretty neat game.
Have the Luminoths on Aether be the main group that Samus is doing these odd jobs for, but you could include smaller groups that she helps out as well. Something like the Luminoth need X (not X as in the parasite, kek. X as in a variable) resource/tech and they have a lead on where Samus might be able find it. She goes there, does Samus things, maybe finds something intact that she can use immediately (could be new abilities, a new type of material, anything), or something damaged that might have value (think of MegaMan Legends and how Roll could fix up the stuff you find), or possibly even a survivor or a transmission log that leads her to another group.
These other groups won't be focused on as much, but they'd be another group that can provide Samus with intel, new missions, or help her integrate new tech. She might even find others interested in travelling to Aether, which opens up more possibilities at the main hub.
>>716355289>>716356161Fuck it, I believe it. They want the Switch 2 version to hit 120fps, and with Bananza having framedrops, I could see Retro putting Prime 4 back in the oven to get it to run that well comfortably in response

>>716363848You already do
>>716363139So... What's been stopping you from modding Metroid into Aliens?
Chozo technology is built different. Goddamn bird magic.
>>716363139I genuinely think Metroid can easily be turned into not only Animal Well but a kinda labyrinth shafts game like when Dallas get chased by the xenomorph. I think it would be really easy to do even with the ROM limitations if you decide to mess with Assembly, the problem would be getting the new gameplay done correctly and getting the new graphics & hitboxes for the Aliens to work correctly and various other mechanics like closing doors from afar.
It is kinda retarded that the Metroid fandom never bothered modded in Aliens though despite having some many 2D animated sprites of Xenomorphs.

NEStroid is a lot better with a map and the ability to save and respawn with full health but it still suffers from "bomb this arbitrary section of a random generic wall in order to progress."

>>716360403>Mutates and kills thousands
>>716341056I don't think anything in the Xeno series could pose a threat to Samus short of that ghost universe deleting brainfart. And even then she already kills space demons weekly plus you're just asking to get dumped with a "chozo built the Zohar"
Missed opportunity to not give her some Mawkin armor.
>>716332463In deep space, when it might be weeks until you reach a spaceport, being a gearhead is almost mandatory to make sure your ship and weapons are in tip-top shape. A top-class bounty hunter like Samus knows the inner working of her ship and suit like the back of her hand - if there's a rattling noise somewhere, she can pinpoint its exact location to the precise floor panel.
>>716367964>Metroid queen Dna for spontaneous pregnancy>Chozo Dna for brick shithouse bird babies>Original human Dna gives then a blonde wig dunno who cares >Phazon/X/psyche scars potentially giving her spawn bullshit mutations>Terrible parenting skills Samus should just amputate her womb.

>>716369853yeah I loved the Metroid Suit but I'd kill for her to have that armor, she looks incredible like that
>>716365056>policeYeah, after bounty hunter being a space cop is probably her next best fit.
>>716369853The varia suit technically is a mawkin armor (baby toy version)
>>716341450That guy is me btw.
>>716332463It comes from the lore that Samus designed the Gunship, meaning she's an engineer.
>>716369971She can't. It'd just regenerate. It's too late. Her transformation into some kind of outer god has begun, and will only get worse from here. Psychic powers means that her mind and her soul are now open to the universe.
>>716370245I mean she's clearly a genius thanks in part to being Chozo and trained by Mother Brain, and it makes sense she'd master the maintenance of her own stuff
It'd be really cool to see a scenario where Samus is deprived her suit in a survival situation, and has to build one out of salvaged tech and organics.
I imagine samus as being kinda socially awkward and has trouble showing emotions and speaking, but has a very strong sense of justice. kinda like a female version of JC denton
She probably doesn't even realize that shes hot.

>>716371192I just made it to the Research Station. And they had the giga brain idea to remove the one weakness from the creature that historically no one can control, and invariably ends up turning on their handlers
Science Team are geniuses
>>716370651I imagine her as awkward but in a very unique way. She's a very social being, doubled up being part Chozo, but she's not social in a normal way. She just likes to stand there and watch, like a bird, and stares a little too much. She doesn't speak much and emotes little. But she's so absurdly beautiful and clearly spiritual in some way that people just let her be around without trouble, which means lots of awkward silences.
She probably shows the most personality when on missions that involves actual dirty bounty shit like shake downs in bars.
>>716371550so she has aura is what you're saying
>>716370651I genuinely, truly think that she is likely some form of autistic. Not in a bad way, just in a "doesn't understand people" way. Like if some dude asked her out, her first response would basically just be "why?", as in an honestly curious "why would we do that?" way.
>>716371587No, aura would not be awkward.
>>716371727Come on, she's not autistic, she has a MUCH more interesting explanation; she's half fucking bird along with 20 other modifications that does not affect her appearance. She's a bimbo beauty shell around a barely human superbeing.
>>716371727>Damn, Samus is a baddie>Samus: Baddie? I'm the top ranked bounty hunter in the Federation>No, it means you're attractive >Samus: That's because of my Charge Beam function. I can attract energy for both shielding and missiles. 2 reasons why there's nothing bad about me>....
>>716370651Good analysis. I'd also say she's one of those introverts who prefers the company of animals, like that one guy in The Thing.
>>716370651Okay so this is going to come dangerously close to praising Other M. I promise that I'm not. But this one tiny aspect was good.
Samus wanted to save the people on the exploding ship but Adam ordered her to stand down. From his position it wasn't a bad call, but from Samus's position, she allowed those people to die. So she went independent. So that she would never again be put in a position where her orders got in the way of her doing what she feels is right
>>716312024 (OP)Why have I never nutted to Samus?
>>716372168I have but I don't make a habit of it. She's one of those classic characters that are so iconic that I can't see her in a sexy way. Like Peach or Chun-Li. Even when they're wearing barely anything, my thought is more "huh, why is Samus naked? Whatever"
>>716372235>her backdoor remained as it is since the alterations could compensate>but her vagina and urethra are now one, so she pisses out of her pussycan you imagine
>>716372334You know, I think you pretty much nailed it.
>>716372334>>716372397I feel the same way. She just doesn't register like that, never has. It's why Other M felt so offensive.
>>716371845Reasonable, I just more meant her behavior and mindset would be closest to analogous to autism. Again, certainly not a bad thing in the slightest - her upbringing and modifications almost preclude the idea that she could be in any way "normal" around other humans.
>>716372445Other M is perpetually annoying to me. There are certain traits that I ascribe to certain characters. With Samus its her athleticism, technology, and resilience. So as long as those 3 things are there I can always register her as Samus. That might be the reason why bimbo Samus does nothing for me. And why Other M just pissed me the fuck off. Actually as I type this I realize why. The people who draw Samus porn know they're just using a character design. The porn has no connection to the true character other than aesthetics. But Other M claimed that was the actual Samus. And it was sanctioned by Nintendo. Which gave me a more visceral reaction towards it.
>>716317717>MGSV was greatOh fuck off. You don't have talk shit to validate your point, a space bounty hunter game would be great, elevating a garbage game because it has a semblance of a similar theme isn't needed. Even if one were to be generous and say you enjoyed it, MGSV is absolutely not "great".
>>716372612I agree. I just hate to call it autistic-like. It just feels more exotic to me than that, where she'd have a lot of little behaviors which make no sense to ANY species, much less humans. Nothing offensive or upsetting, but just dozens of smaller social cues that add up to any sapient she deals with having trouble figuring out how to read her.
>>716341534>mimesome>thermal???
Do we even know if she has a human reproductive system.
>>716372728Oh, when I say 'bimbo' Samus I just mean her appearance, and nothing else. I find something both funny and really appealing in the idea of her looking naturally over the top for a woman, but the reality is it's just from her gene mods and the person underneath is nothing like you'd expect from a big lipped hyperblonde.
Other M was just boring. They tried way too hard to Jap her up with waifuisms and retarded anime plot garbage. Samus is STRICTLY for 70s/80s gritty sci-fi films. She's Alien, Predator, Robocop, Terminator, not whatever the fuck that masturbatory garbage was.
>>716320817>also I'm pretty sure she lays an egg once per month by nowFucking hot, we need a game where her womb is full of eggs and goes into labor while on a big mission.
>>716367091Pokemon is a Game Freak game, Nintendo has far less power over them than you would think.
>>716372891She was born a human female.
So unless the metroid or cheeto dna removed this ehh.
probably gave her a huge clit.
>>716312024 (OP)The problem with the bounty hunter theme is that you gotta have said bounty hunter go on many different missions to give the player the feel of a person that takes contracts for killing shit while almost every Metroid game is about one big single map. The most you can do is a part in the intro where you show a formal doc saying "Hey Samus we want you to do XXX for YYY credits"
>>716373057her clit is absolutely a golf ball
>>716373140As long as she gets pregnant before 27 i don't care.
>>716373165anon she's going to be healthy and young for eternity
>>716372334>tfw cant nut to Samus despite being the hottest woman alive because I have too much respect for her to ever even pretend she'd be into me
>>716315248>paying Samus with dick pics
>>716373315I don't WANT her to be into me. That ends with a 30 second countdown and my atoms turned into stardust in a galaxy-destroying blast.
>>716373224bruh all that alien DNA only increases her fertility by like 5 years.
at 32 it's going to be over, she wouldn't be able to have kids.
>>716373315You need to work on your self esteem my friend.
>>716373443Let's put it this way; your sperm IS NOT strong enough to impregnate her. It's not even going to make it past the cervix. Samus is exclusively for nightmare impregnations by hellish god-aliens.
>>716373315I genuinely don't think I could keep up with her. She's the kind of woman I'd follow to Hell and back, but my own limitations would eventually turn me into a liability for her, something that would bother the both of us.
Nintendo would never do it, but someone else doing it would be awesome. Even if it wasn't Samus, a sexy merc going from planet to planet hunting bad guys and getting into mischief would be a sick ass game.
>>716373619You'll have to cope Anon.
>>716373708Samus is a situation where I'd follow her loyally, and in the adventures I'd eventually come across some woman who I fall for, and she falls for me, and we bond over how we BOTH love Samus but know that's never going to be a thing. Some other guy is there too, but he goes too far and ends up getting himself killed over helping Samus out of his love for her. Samus mourns him and me and my woman both get insanely turned on and cry because of her sad expression and hair billowing in the wind.
>>716373751I just want Retro to be allowed to make a Samus merc game, I want to be ranked at the end for how much money I made
>>716372235wtf, i love chorizo now
>>716371007>>716371487Vapor for brains, every last one of 'em.
I'm currently playing Metroid games, it's fun and all that but it's always the same story over and over
Imagine a bounty hunter/hired explorer mercenary or whatever game that is basically just many metroid-likes
Like, your guy has a bunch of worlds to choose from, maybe they can be tackled in different orders or maybe its linear. Every single one of them is just a whole different metroid-like, imagine going from a world like a metroid game, to a world like Environmental Station Alpha, to a world like Axion Verge, and so on
would have to be a fuckhuge budget game though
>>716372349>she pisses out of her pussyAnon, I have some very important news about human women's anatomy that I need to share with you
>>716374236only zero mission and super are kind of the same story
>>716374580...that women do not piss out of their pussy, but their urethra, which is located ABOVE the vaginal entrance and is separate plumbing?
FFFFFFFUUUCKING AAAAAAAAEIIIOOONNNNN
>>716374659If we are being pedantic about terminology, the slang term "pussy" refers to the whole vulva, and hence the urethra and vagina are a part of the pussy. Hence, all women urinate out their pussy. That's what I was trying to say
>>716331216What is she listening to?
>>716374748Phendrana Drifts
>>716374739>>716374580>>716372349I want Samus to piss out of her cervix onto me
>>716374602Nah they more or less have the same components and revolves around the same things. Then again I didn't play all of the Metroid games
>>716331216https://youtu.be/M2t_ICFwV9o?si=6M8A3OVtdlLUOCWp
>>716331216One thing I really like about this is how plausible it is from a non-coomer standpoint. She's on her own damn ship, if she wants to be comfortable when she's doing data entry or whatever, then by fuck let her.

>>716371550>She just likes to stand there and watch, like a bird, and stares a little too much. She doesn't speak much and emotes little.also something I feel is correct.
She likely has an appreciation and curiosity for life and seeing people and creatures just do things.
Brought on by witnessing too much death from a young age, she just wants to see things exist. Having those close to her killed, she very likely has trouble forming attachments. Likely if she starts to work with people like the prime 3 hunters, she necessarily gets closer but feels anxious about it.
>>716372053>I'd also say she's one of those introverts who prefers the company of animalsThis too.
>>716373315I know that feel, bro.
Comfy bread it feels good to be a Metroid fan nowadays
>>716375075I have no idea why I think this way but I imagine Samus eating bread by tearing it into tiny chunks and eating each chunk one by one like a fucking bird
>>716374659I thought it was the anus.
>>716375287I accept this.
Can you imagine this happening today? Legendary.
>>716375865This kind of thing gives me confidence in modern Retro, what a cool design. Excellent salvage job.
https://files.catbox.moe/0t72rm.mp4
How would Samus react in this situation?
>>716376137>>716375865>ITS JUST LIKE MY HECKKING PACIFIC RIM MARVEL MOVIE!
>>716370651I kinda think Samus due to her upbringing and the nature of her work has to keep everyone at arms length. Like she has friends yeah, but she is so often flying across the galaxy she has no opportunity ti see them. She must be a bit lonely.
>>716372163A story like Other M could work. If it was a prequel. Showing Samus growing disillusioned with the Galactic Federation after she loses her friends (Namely Ian) due to a bad order from Adam. And deciding she can do more good independently.
>>716376708oh fuck off with that edit, she needs Z-cups MINIMUM at her level of strength to even begin complain about potential back pain

>>716382126I used to use the 3DS browser to look at rule 34.

Samus Returns is my favorite Metroid game
>>716351982>dog bowl full of x parasitesheh
>>716372163>>716376790Having played the original Metroid, and being aware of the original manga back story, I find it retarded that someone like Samus, with her back story and upbringing ever worked directly for the federation.
It's a retarded step back, and step down from her chozo origin and makes no fucking sense.
>>716382224lmao my first masturbation was Katara rule 34 on a DS Lite web browser, I think it used the GBA cartridge
>>716375650I really wish we got to fight non-Xmawkins.

>>716382556It would make sense to me ONLY in the context of "My Chozo fathers told me it'd be best to integrate for a while to get an idea of how to begin freelance work" but it'd be very different from the retard shit Other M did with the idea
>>716378160>9800 yen>in 1994>~90$
>>716386653The video game industry was much smaller and costs per copy were much higher back then. These days, even with skyrocketing development costs, the price per copy is much lower.
>>716334514Samus Aran was initially imagined as Princess Peach with guns, so I think that she actually does fantasise about whatever it is that women fantasise about, but she's literally far too badass for it to make sense.
Also Other M sucked.
>>716387684Wait, Samus isn't a tomboy?
>>716390103Samus is a badass woman.
>>716378257Stop motion for robots is absolute perfection
In fact, there are 2 things that should always be filmed using stop motion: robots and skeletons
>>716382414Evil gummies. I wonder if X parasites are spicy.
>>716387684>she's literally far too badass for it to make sense.She's not really the Terminator though, people differ on exactly how soft she is and how it shows/should show, and some do want her to just be mostly the stoic hero 24/7, but the overall fanbase is clearly receptive to her having girly/womanly sides, if done right.
It's like the space pirate gags, its really good in moderation, but when you encounter the pirates you should still feel some tension more than ridicule, otherwise we've gone too far.
Same with her battle flourishes, it clearly belongs to her character, but she's not Coldsteel The Hedgehog.
Its a sensitive balance and often hard to pin down exactly what makes something wrong. With Other M they just flipped the table the balance was on though.
>>716371487Love the head shake at the end
>>716390825womanly, but NOT girly. it's not a moderation thing either, if you infantilize your mc or your universe it kills the mystique and gravitas irrevocably.
>>716375865>oh lawd he comin
>>716364138>Only Samus can roll into a ball.Space Pirates have the rolling into a ball part down.
It would be more accurate to say that only Samus can unroll out of a ball.
>>716374910The Zero Suit was a mistake. Yes, it's great, but it has just become too ubiquitous and the only "fan service". There is no variety, so when Samus is out of her armor she is only ever pictured with the same Zero Suit and pony tail.
I like the black outfit.
Most of Samus' casual wear looks like gym clothes, and that's just funny, honestly.
Games name is just 'metro' and 'id'
>>716392440The Samus Returns endings had alternate outfits on top of the Zero suit, so I wouldn't consider them abandoned yet, but only on the harder difficulties and then only with the best time.
We have the internet, so it's not like anyone can't ultimately get to see it, and I get it's tradition, but it'd be nice to get some of that not locked behind serious completion these days.
>>716381157nta but the last cut is of her with the classic 'cooking housewife with apron and big belly' figure yes
>>716392440it's not great, it's shit, it's possibly the laziest and lamest sci-fi plugsuit type design around.
>>716336935>BFG Division starts playing

>>716397798counterargument: drunk samus
>>716312024 (OP)I'd remodel her shithole, if you know what I mean.
Samus is weak to hypnosis.
>>716365056>SoldierA soldier you can't control is only valuable so long as you both have the same goals. Too much of a liability.
>AthleteSpace Olympics most likely divides their athletes by species, but Samus belongs to like, 3 different one at this point, so she wouldn't have anyone to compete against.
>Assassin, fixer, criminalSamus is perfectly willing to go against the law, but she's still a good person at her core, so none of those would work.
>>716398386She'd do fine working as a bodyguard or as a security consultant for high-sec installations like prisons or military bases. Someone like her would know a lot about infiltration, so having her help out with potential security breaches and how to rectify them would be good. There's a lot more money in such services if a government or a rich company hires you for it than in the boots on the ground grunt PMC work too.
>>716334514Another thing to keep in mind is that her status as a bounty hunter serves as a signal to the entire galaxy that she's neutral. Sure, she can work with certain factions, but it's always by her own terms, and never done out of loyalty of any kind.
Someone as powerful as her "working for" anyone would immediately shift the power dynamics of the entire galaxy, and she's definitely aware of that.
>>716398042God I want her to pin me down and make bird noises in my ear until she passes out and drools on my face.
and burps in her sleep
>>716391423>womanly, but NOT girlyWhere would you draw the line? I mean, Samus Aran is not the kind of woman who would, say, wear makeup or get emotional over space soap operas, but would you consider her doing something like in
>>716390825's picrel, where she hugs a Pikachu because she thinks it's cute?
>>716399128This is an interesting point, even though the games somewhat undermine it when most missions we see are in fact at the request, if not on orders, of the Federation.
I thought the trigger for Metroid Prime Hunters was directly to Samus, but wiki says even that was done as a request by the Federation.
I still think this is a good way of looking at it, it would just be better if we had a game with something to counter the claim that she's neutral on paper but really still only doing work as the Federations lap dog, as Sylux might say.
Do you guys think a Metroid game without Samus as the protagonist would work?
>>716398042I love this silly bird woman so much.
>>716400231Small gestures of affection. Giving something a lingering caress as opposed to full on hugging.
>>716400374The problem is that it would be so completely unrelated to Metroid at that point, a series that is mostly tied together by Samus and Metroids, that the only games that would get slapped with this tie-in in order to boost their reputation are such complete and utter crap that they'd just tarnish the series and themselves.
Shit like Federation Force.
At that point you're better off just making an unrelated game about space truckers stumbling on an illicit planetary science/piracy staging outpost built on the ruins of a dead or dying civilization.

>>716376790No
>>716382556This was what I intended to post
Samus was trained by the Chozo after the feds failed her family and entire settlement in early childhood. There's literally no reason for her to ever go and work directly under them, it was just the writer needing to fit his retarded weapon authorization mechanic into the narrative. The story is laughable garbage, every single narrative decision was hackneyed bullshit from start to finish. It's fanfiction level writing.
>>716412515the average fanfiction is written better than other m
>>716412515>It's fanfiction level writing.Hey, no, no it's not. Fanfiction would at least be entertaining in its amateur ways, sincere.

Prime 3 is my favorite exactly because we are going back and forth between multiple planets and there is the Galatic Federation ship and all.
But we never see the civillians and the ''normal''. We are always in war zones (which is normal) but all this time I dunno I think I expected something like in Megaman that you see the buildings and cars in the background.
I liked Zero Mission's hints of a normal life under the Power Suit, going on to drink in an alien bar and all
>>716413754pink is watermelon
>>716415339Pink is vagina
>>716414207Even when you take Other M on its own merits, it's stupid.
>Adam: What are you doing here? >Samus: I'm a Bounty Hunter and I'm responding to distress signal that was broadcast on an open channelConversation ends
>Adam: This is now a federal investigation. You have no permission to be here outsider>Samus: 'Ight. I respect you so much that I'll follow your ordersConversation ends
>Samus: Okay you clearly don't want me here but I feel a sense of responsibility to your team since we've worked together before>Adam: Okay, it's apparent that I'll need your skills. But you need to fall in under my command>Samus: Roger. However while I'll limit my destructive capability to the absolute minimum, I will maintain use my Varia, Gravity, Grapple, and Space Jump features on my suit. In addition to any reactionary measures to protect my life from whatever just killed everyone on this ship. >Adam: Well... yeah. That obviously makes senseOther M is kind of like hentai. Where it imagines a moment first and then manufactures whatever it has to in order to get there. Would any sentient being who fell through the roof of someone else's apartment decide to fuck him because oops it just fell in? No but who cares, it's hentai. Would Samus fucking Aran, or anyone smart enough to use a calculator, allow herself to BURN ALIVE just because she wants her CO that she hasn't seen in years to like her? No but we want to maintain that authorization system and show that Adam is indeed her commander.
>>716373315You lack imagination. If you are living profiting from genocide you'd want to have some normality so it makes sense Samus would want to date normal people to feel like a normal person with 100% human DNA instead of... of whatever percentage she has left.
I like to see the Zero Suit bar post-credits as her asking the player out or something like that. Pretending she is just some Space Engineer Student than a Bounty Hunter.
>>716414207Other M feels like a parody film you'd see playing in the background of a more serious movie, right down to turning Samus into a sassy little anime waifu who THUMBS DOWN with a pout
>>716415395it'd make way more sense if Samus burned herself alive to terrify Adam into doing what she says
>>716400374Tough question but it'd need to be at least announced simultanerously with a normal game so it doesn't repeat the mess of Federation Force.
Federation Force isn't wrong. In fact showing other factions' PoV is a blessing for worldbuilding and can be quite fun like Prime Hunters' other hunters. But you can't *just* do that. Everyone wanted a new Metroid and Samus. They were starved and then Federation Force is more of a spit to the face.
If they had something like announced ''Metroid Dread'' and bonus Federation Force. They would see a ton of people playing it if only to seek any hints they could get of a future entry for example.
I'm always weirded out at how poorly handled those old games are. It isn't hard to make proper advertisement and earn the fans' cheering.
>>716415604it even drops the biggest point that samus and adam were on friendly terms with eachother, he knew she fucking hated being called lady and could arguably have been needling her for being a woman in the federation military at first, he's stand-offish to her for basically no reason for most of other m after fusion introduces him in samus's thoughts as somebody that trusted her quite well and most likely would've supported her going freelance
>>716415604I still don't understand how it was Sakamoto that wrote that. It feels like he went schizophrenic to make Samus have a panic attack seeing Ridley AFTER SUPER. Ridley likely died five times over by now.
>>716415358I don't see the connection
>>716416124Well, you see daughter, the interior crocodile alligator of a woman's genitals is pink. Hope that clears it up
fuck i need samus to pee on me
>>716415945This fucking dialogue
>Samus*: He was joking, but others weren't... At the time I felt surrounded by people who treated me like a child or used kid gloves because I was a woman.>Samus*: And yet, with Adam, I was grateful for the nod... My past has left me with an uneasy soul, and as a result, it touched me on some level that Adam would acknowledge that past by calling me something delicateโlike "Lady." And I knew more than anyone that every word from Adam was deliberate. My thumbs-down was a twofold responseโa sign of derision at being called a lady, and a signal of my complete understanding of the mission orders. The other soldiers were always willing to support me with easy smiles despite the fact that I clearly had so much yet to learn. Among them was Anthony.>Samus*: In the face of his well-meaning behavior, and that of the other soldiers, my response was to become increasingly bitter. I was a child, always with something to prove. A chip on my shoulder.There's just so much stupid here. Okay so Samus disliked being treated differently for being a woman in the military. But it's okay when Adam does it. Because Adam is sincere while the others are fucking with her. BUT ALSO she acknowledges that the other soldiers, like Anthony, really do mean well. Which pissed her off because they're treating her different because she's a woman. If being treated delicately but with sincerity is what attracted you to Adam, why didn't it also attract you to the rest of the soldiers in your unit? Why are you suddenly so desperate for it now when you've already decided Adam wasn't enough of a reason to stay with the Feds anymore? Why the hell are we even talking about this at all?
>>716416082Well you see anon, Samus was always like that. We just didn't have the technology to show it back then.
...oh we could do scripted sequences where Samus stops fighting even back in Super? D-don't worry about that. Don't look at that. Also sidebar, I hate how an uncomfortable amount of people decided to throw the Prime series under the bus just to justify Other M's existence. Because then you'd have to acknowledge that not only has Samus fought with a revived Ridley 2 other times but she did so on a console that could do voiced cutscenes.
Oh wait Samus Returns on the 3DS features Ridley as a bonus boss fight which acknowledges that Samus knew he could revive? D-don't worry about that. Don't look at that.
>>716415714The japanese version did imply it was a bit of malicious compliance on her part (or maybe she was just testing herself). She went in while Adam was busy with the actual federation soldiers, told him nothing about what was happening, and when Adam noticed the was like "WHY ARE YOU NOT USING THE VARIA SUIT".
...which instead means SAMUS is the dumbass for trying to roast herself alive for petty reasons instead of just a)ignoring the order and turning on the varia suit or b)calling adam and and saying literally anyhing about what's going on. Plus Adam gets a few stupid points for not knowing where is clear most valuble asset is at all times, he's still an awful commander in Japanse even if the details of why he's awful are diffrent.
>>716417926Crocomire didn't deserve that
>>716417926He's literally me fr fr
>>716418329>Why Crocomire was in the unsuitable and mostly heated Norfair region is unknown. However, it should be noted that the lava present in the chamber is more intense than the lava seen everywhere else in upper Norfair, >this superheated lava is commonly found only in Ridley's Hideout, therefore insinuating that Crocomire was possibly adapted to upper Norfair's more common lava and heated regions. He really didn't, but Samus would have settled for pushing him out of the way, it's just that he got unlucky with the environment.
It was that or experience planetary annihilation anyway.
>>716416865The real reason for the ridley ptst is that ninja was trying to recreate a moment from the manga...which took place when samus was a teenager who was meeting ridley for the first time since he killed her parents, so it was much more understandable the as opposed to in other m where she's a hardened bounty hunter who's engaged the motherfucker literally 5 times without issue. So he inserted a plotline about samus feeling weak and helpless because the bad guys she kills don't stay dead, which is a freakout that should have happened somewhere around prime 1 or 2 if it was ever going to. (Remember, the other m writers didn't excise Prime from canon, they just ignored it because it was inconvenient while saying it totally was canon). And that whole plot got cut from the english version making a bad scene even worse.
>>716373315>tfw cant nut to Samus despite being the hottest woman alive because I have too much respect for herI feel like this for many fictional characters. Once I get invested in a story and characters I end up feeling like fapping to their porn is tarnishing and ruining the genuine feelings I felt when experiencing their stories.
Its why whenever a video game, movie, or tv show has hot characters I know will drive my dick crazy I refuse to watch them because I know I'll just be unable to fap to them later no matter how hot they are.
>>716421047I'm surprised there isn't a tumblr term for this because I feel like it's pretty common
>>716421047This is kind of what happened with Xenoblade 2 for me. Once I got into the game, the porn suddenly did nothing for me
>>716415604the entire thumbs down monologue and cutscene is one of the most unintentionally hilarious scenes ive seen in any game
>>716420721You could have done a veteran Samus breakdown, even a Ridley one, but only if you engineer most the entire game toward building to that moment.
She faces setbacks and failures to achieve certain objectives
She has to progressively kill former good friends ala Prime 3
At some point she needs to choose to condemn a squad of good troopers or otherwise condemn a colony.
An entire onslaught of shit happening.
All the while you actually show Samus herself grinding and cracking under the pressure of what she has to endure
And then when she's at a low point, in a moment she didn't expect, there is Ridley, ready to mock her with everything.
It'd be a dark or depressing game, but that's the way you could have done it.
Certainly not by having the game feature a lot of bitching about what nickname they were using or how the troopers were nice but in the wrong way.

>>716423062That looks like shit.
>>716424350By this point if she isn't she can just regrow it.
Likely can also energy drain people via sex like a succubus with her Metroid powers too now.
>>716413928>>716414078>Sylux origin story:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6z3kAql8jg
>>716424350I think she's too goal-oriented for romance or even one night stands.
She is aware of how physically attractive she is and likes to dress pretty when off-duty (like in the manga) and when her mission is gathering intel is not above using her looks to get closer to informants or even targets, but she just doesn't have the interest in going all the way with anyone.
>>716415069>But we never see the civilians and the ''normal''.Exactly. It'd be a nice change of pace to see what regular civilization is like in Metroid. We only ever see bits and pieces of it in spinoff material.
>>716422691Speaking of.
>>716315248thought this was goatse
>>716312024 (OP)Metroid 6 should be about all 3 hunters working together
>>716425781Metroid Prime 5 should be a tenuous alliance with the Space Pirates to fight the war against the Kriken Empire.
>>716426138nah metroid shouldnt have politics or war strategy as a focus, something like the kriken clashing with space pirates over a planet while samus has to go in as a third party.
>>716424886>SpanishI knew I loved her for a reason
>>716424886>BritishIrish.
>>716427610>>716427719I think the blonde hair and blue eyes would be hints of Scandinavian ancestry
>>716428006it's hints of anime gaijin ancestry, like nina, sarah, etc
>>716363224The irony is that orange and yellow are used in various actual professions while red and black are not.
making samus a girl was retarded woke shit
>>716425559>It'd be a nice change of pace to see what regular civilization is like in MetroidI don't know if this is supported in canon with stuff like the Federation seen being predominantly/exclusively human but I always liked the idea that humans are a minority in the Galactic Federation. Like they're just one of thousands of different species that founded/run the government and it's not at all uncommon for Samus to be the only human in the room while she's out and about
So Sylux is finally in Prime 4. What about the others from Hunters?
>>716429586You MIGHT get Weevil
I would be shocked if any of the others show up
>>716429526It's another important thing that got lost in later games. Even though I love Prime its portrayal of the Feds as just a bunch of generic sci-fi humans was awful, not even any Star Trek type recolored-human aliens, and the less said about any other depiction the better.
Most things like that in Metroid were a lot better when they were off-camera and outside the scope of the games.
>>716427097>third partyhonestly I think this is one of the things that prime 2 does well. There are so many different factions.
>Samus arrives>fights ing>fights dark samus>fights space pirates>all of these are hostile to each other as wellprime 1's isolation was nice but the more I played prime 2 the more I appreciated its unique differences.
>>716429526Do we even know what the Federation is a federation of?
I do think that the Federation itself would be mostly stewarded by humans, but maybe it's quite special in that it regularly takes other species under its wing.
At the very least the Kriken and the Vhozon empires (of which Noxus is one) are described as highly monolithic, many others like the Chozo themselves swing this way too.
So any given Fed planet or station could potentially belong to a specific non-human species or be a hub planet accommodating to all sorts of member species, contrary to the average space-based society.
>>716429526makes her loneliness even more cosmic when she's not only far removed from her own original species, she's far removed from *all* species save for the now-gone Chozo.

Is it happening? Are we actually gonna get a Direct with the release date next week? Don't blow this for us, Nintendo, don't you DARE make it a Partner
>>716430069>Even though I love Prime its portrayal of the Feds as just a bunch of generic sci-fi humans was awful, not even any Star Trek type recolored-human aliens, and the less said about any other depiction the better.Most of the Fed grunts were in power armour so they could be humanoid races like Ghor and Gandrayda.
>>716431249I guess that description would make it strange that humans would seen so exclusively.
At the same time you could chalk it up to game depictions not necessarily reflecting what is really happening 1:1, like the way that Samus' equipment is done is a matter of gameplay design convenience, and not a working depiction of how it really would go.
what does Samus do on her days off?
>>716431836Yeah and you can headcanon that there's tons of alien crew on the other decks of the Olympus you don't see, don't be disingenuous.
>>716431791>18+ R ratedwow, explicit Samus sex scene?
>>716430015Nah metroid has been pretty open about refrencing previous games to create more clear contenuity recently. I don't think the others will be important, or even show up in person unless they try bringing back hunters multiplayer, but they'll probably be mentioned and maybe shown in flashbacks

>>716432208>>716432318The trailer featured a lot of vagina looking structures so clearly the game is about motherhood and samus will be giving birth
>>716431997I love how so many fan artists pretend Squishy is still alive. Folks just like the idea of Samus hanging out with her metroid daughter.
>>716431791Does that mean I get Samus cowgirl sex if I have a fast low percent hard clear?
>>716431997Considering she designed her own gunship, likely reasearching machinery or maybe having an engineer gig

>>716370245>prime 3 gunshipthat's a mark against her desu
>>716431432I don't think a fetus could survive in her body. Her immune system is probably so jacked up it would immediately kill the unborn baby right away.
>>716312024 (OP)I always thought she'd be great in a samurai jack style series where she's going around doing bounties with a bit of her hanging out at her room or at a bar.

>>716434972That'd be quite the thing.
Revealing another strong female character is with the times still, so it would make sense.
It'll probably depend on whether this game is going to be 'their' game, or whether it's going to be an arc.
The former wouldn't exclude them returning still, just how many cards they'd play right now.

>>716437175Since the thread is done anyway I'll humour you.
Samus might have been expecting a quiet 'Teehee' type reaction. Instead they gave her the super fangirl "Kyaa!' across the entire bar, so suddenly the bar's entire attention would be on them, which is embarrassing for Samus because she still likes to lay low.
