Shit bitch you might be totally right, and the suit just looks similar to Prime 2/3 as a reference to the originals. Though I don't think she has multiple suits like she has ships, she might make alterations to it for each mission. That is, until Fusion / Dread where it was regenerating.
It definitely takes place after Federation Force, however aren't the Space Pirates totally FUBAR after the events of Super? Ridley is permadead. Maybe it's a splinter faction.
Another explanation is that the X in 20X7 or 20X9 isn't just a number but some kind of different record keeping that takes into account local time distortions etc. They really need to hammer out exactly how old Samus is and exactly the years these games take place, the timeline is screwed right now.

Sakamoto has been very clear regarding Space Pirate leadership. Redly is the leader until Mother Brain steps in, she is the defacto leader that orders even him around. 2D series has no High Command because they're the High Command along with Kraid and those other guys. Prime always muddied the water on this. Just like how the 2D games say the Pirates are gone and never stepped away from that.

You are still wrong, Dread's premise is built on top of a big retcon from fusion; samus isn't supposed to have metroid DNA anymore after absorbing the SA-X in fusion. There are other issues as well like quiet robe X helping samus (a now quasi-metroid) and why the metroids have innate aggression towards the mawkin when they came after the thoha made metroids but that one thing alone is a massive story inconsistency. ZM/the manga also changed samus's suit to be powered by her emotions instead of just being a normal, removable power suit. Fusion also retconned metroids losing their weakness to cold upon evolving with the Omega fight at the end

>>720533247
no you don't see above


To contrast this, the only inconsistency in prime is how the metroid got into impact crater in 1

The concept isn't bad, the reason it was changed is retarded though since the justification for samus being in zero suit for the chozodia segment is that she lost confidence so the suit comes off (yes this is real you can look it up, it's in the same Q&A session with sakamoto that confirmed samus no longer had metroid DNA at the end of fusion)

Claiming tanabe is less consistent than sakamoto with metroid is downright obscene even if you ignore other M

If NONE of the other Metroid prime hunters characters are in this after 20 years other than samus and sylux I am giving up on this god forsaken franchise. If there is a multiplayer mode with the other hunters in it I will buy a switch to play it. we have waited 20 years for the Metroid prime hunters characters to return. At this point the franchise may as well be dead and some people should just make a fucking fan mod. I hope this game is good but I have low expectations. afterall it’s a game being release in 2020+.

Sakamoto got learned the error of his ways and returned to form with Samus Returns and Dread's stories.

Super Metroid was the last game in the series originally. It was supposed to end there. I'm pretty sure Nintendo wishes they could fix that. Maybe a remake can.

>>720533538
>samus isn't supposed to have metroid DNA anymore after absorbing the SA-X in fusion
Pretty sure that was a mistranslation on Metroid Database's part. I believe Sakamoto originally said that she still had the Metroid DNA and absorbing the SA-X just made her Metroid DNA go dormant. You can even tell this since the only thing about her suit that changes at the end of the game is its color, nothing else. Only thing Dread retcon is the Fed crap because it was so bad in Other M, they had to drop it for something far better.
>Fusion also retconned metroids losing their weakness to cold upon evolving with the Omega fight at the end
Samus Returns is consistent with Metroids remaining weak to the cold.

You have to remember, anon. Metroid was originally a three-part series not meant to get more games. They did have to come up with no stuff to make new games so, yes, Fusion did start some retcons in order to make new games. They also created a Metroid Story Bible around this time too.

Problem is, there never a good Japanese translator. I mainly got that info from some dude who knew Japanese. Why I believe him because you can tell she still has Metroid DNA at the end of Fusion, if she lost it, her suit would have lost its Metroid appearance physically. Similar case with Dread.

>-and the metroid DNA issue
It was never retconned, look at her suit before being infected and look at her suit after absorbing the SA-X
>-And Quiet Robe X helping samus
Chozo have strong will power, Samus didn't just turn into an X after being infected, she held out until she got Metroid DNA put in her. Of course, an X copy was still created though.
>-and the thoha instilling hatred against the mawkin in metroids
True but again, series was different starting with Fusion
>-and how the mawkin somehow couldn't get metroid DNA when they landed on a planet full of metroid husks/jelly
There are implications that they came to SR388 several times until a soldier got infected and infected the rest of ZDR.
>-and the federation completely ignoring samus's actions in the previous game (fusion, not other M) --> inb4 "it was just a splinter of the galactic fedration", yeah, the entire fucking military

It's already almost healed in Dread and still doesn't resemble its original form. It will never lose its Metroid appearance even when the organic portions are completely covered in armor.

Other M was so bad they had to retroactively ignore most of Fusion too. Notice how in Dread's intro, nothing about the Federation's corrupt activities were brought up. Other M caused that.

I'd argue giving Metroid an actual proper dedicated team rather than it literally just being two guys at separate departments who don't even talk to each other that much would solve it but then I remember not even the Zelda team gives a flying fuck about lore

I have to, they're at least correcting a lot of these issues with remakes, Zero Mission and Samus Returns. Only Super Metroid needs a remake now to finally merge Metroids 1-5 together with little inconsistencies. For Prime, it's a bit more work, Sakamoto and his team gives Tanabe and his teams a little too much freedom at times, not bad for creativity, but bad for trying to make this shit work lore wise that's it's better to just ignore it and have fun not thinking about it.

what? The metroid elements are gone come the varia suit in dread (the last remaining blue meshes are gone), the fangs are totally absent

>Each Chozo tribe have a special trait, but the soldiers still seem to act like Chozo Soldiers until damaged too much.
The X issue was constrained to the thoha/SR388, so even if what you said is true that doesn't apply here
>Metroid has had a story bible since Fusion
I don't know what you mean by that but if it does then it needed to be written with more care
>That's not how it works
Why not? Samus has far less metroid DNA in her both relatively and absolutely, there should have been way more than enough on SR388

no complaints here from me but fusion isn't innocent either

talking to each other more wouldn't fix much, Sakamoto's lore isn't consistent with itself so it wouldn't matter if it was consistent with prime

Phazon is gone entirely after the "hive" planet was destroyed. Any and all traces have evaporated from the galaxy completely.

And besides, this is the metroid trilogy, not the phazon trilogy. We all know how this arc ends. A catastrophic event involving the stolen metroid DNA will inevitably take place on a galactic scale and will result in Samus taking up the job to go to SR388 to exterminate the metroids on behalf of the Galactic Federation.

They are not, she still has the same visor and helmet shape from Fusion, she still has the Metroid nuclei symbol on the back of her Power Suit. Her Power Suit in Dread looks nothing like the Power Suit shown in Dread's intro during the Fusion flashback.

>The X issue was constrained to the thoha/SR388, so even if what you said is true that doesn't apply here
One could have slipped out, maybe it was a soldier that infected earlier and hid out until it found the right time to sneak on a Mawkin ship back to ZDR.
>I don't know what you mean by that but if it does then it needed to be written with more care
It means Sakamoto and his team and Japan made a massive story bible of all the lore, characters, vehicles, aliens, and universe of Metroid that constantly gets new entries added in whenever a new Metroid game is released whether it's 2D, Prime, or Other Shit. This is usually how they also place things in the timeline within the gaps. Metroid Prime Hunter devs talked about this story bible. Anything that usually get revealed may have been in the plans years back, such as Chozo Soldiers who have concept art from way back in 2004 for Zero Mission.
>Why not? Samus has far less metroid DNA in her both relatively and absolutely, there should have been way more than enough on SR388
Samus was injected with Metroid DNA
>no complaints here from me but fusion isn't innocent either
True, I was never a fan of Fusion, honestly. It's why I disliked Other M even more.

This was never confirmed, those ads for Super Metroid and Samus Returns are not canon. 20X6 and 20X7 do not show up in the original games manuals nor do they show up in their games. The Cosmic year for Samus Returns and Super remain a mystery.

He's been involved with every one including the current one. He's always a special thanks. Retro and Tanabe must always come to him and his team to be assured that everything fits with Metroid lore. This isn't exclusive to the Prime series but anything Metroid related without Sakamoto and his team working on it even if it's not canon.

I love that he's an ambitious underdog villain. It allows for schemes and strategy to come into play more.
I really hope they play up that his skillset is more in scouting, tracking and espionage compared to samus. I want to find areas hes already been through, where everythings been mined to hell with tripwires and you need to be extremely careful to avoid taking damage.

He doesn't, he just wants consistency. Samus now has to act like she does in the 2D games, meaning Samus Returns and Dread, this also means if she's officially used outside of her canon series, she must always consistently act the same. Very similar to what Microsoft's Halo Studio does with their Franchise Team when it comes to Halo and the use of Master Chief.

I dont think that's true, prime 4's samus doesn't act like dread's from what we've seen, she acts like how she did in prime trilogy. Actually, Samus return's samus acted like how she did in the prime trilogy as well, if anything, and SR/Dread samus are different from each other as well.

I think it's the same character but given the situation she responds differently to it. Fusion Samus still exists going by the Japanese site where Samus narrates Dread's entire intro, but Other M Samus may have been erased at least in personality. Other M Samus doesn't feel like she fits in anywhere.

Those are far more impressionable in the scope of Metroid, but certainly not fit for a weird chibi co-op game. Wonder if anything was planned for the Wii U from a concept level, but got reworked into a 3DS game given the circumstances.

The problem with giving campaigns to the other Hunters is that they're *not* Samus i.e. you'd have to really expand their arsenal to make them actually fun
Not even talking about combat but methods of exploration and puzzle solving
The Shock Coil and Lockjaw are strictly designed for combat
