Though the battle might be endless, I will never give up

Super Metroid has almost no plot or lore which is cool to me. It doesn't feel like the context is missing or you are doing things arbitrarily like an 80s arcade game with no plot, it's just, the story is the experience of excavating this alien world. I like it

HELL YEAH!

the game should be directed by samus herself, or at the very least someone on a forum who represents samus fully

To understand what happened at the diner, we use Mr. Papaya. This is upsetting because he is the friendliest of fruits.

I'm sure she would have more sense about directing her own game than duke nukem did, but then I'm sure a room full of chimps with a typewriter would have more sense at directing a game than duke nukem did

The new Monster Hunter allows the Felynes to dress up as megaman and have a Rush themed weapon. This means you can dress up as Samus and have your followers dress up as Megaman.

I would dress up a cat in a Megaman costume as a punishment, like the cone of shame but worse

Let me take you for a ride.
So I kinda changed my mind about Metroid, i think it can still continue on from Fusion pretty well. Fusion had alot of good ideas, ithink the x being an intergalactic invasive species without the metroids to keep them in check is a cool concept, I would like to see more of them.

Also Fusion had some pretty good music.

^metroid 2 surface theme is extremely good, yes.

i wish more people would cover this theme:

it's so loving good but the synth seems like it'd be hard to replicate. i'm not a musician though so idk.

There will never be a sequel so you don't have to worry about it

Worry more about them using the Other M sleek version and not the sweet old bulky version

OK come on obviously it's implied that this hypothetical woman director would also be qualified to design a game, let alone a metroid game,

I just think a woman would avoid a lot of the dumb poo poo from Other M

just limit the amount of narrated story in the game to like a step below metroid fusion and the rest will follow

Metroid Prime in VR is pretty cool but I think it would make most people violently ill (not me because I have strong moral fiber)
