Mostly Yoshio Sakamoto. He wanted a demure weak waifu who was cripplingly afraid of the giant lizard she'd already murdered a half-dozen times prior.

When sex doesn't really fit into the theme of things; imagine Princess Peach having massive loving tits just for the sake of having them in the next Mario game. Or how Samus has been getting progressively more busty since Metroid Prime 2.

Her other M model was actually less busty than previously. I measured very carefully.

samus saves the metroid in metroid one because it reminds her of a baby and gives her a mothering instinct?

Metroid 2.

The reason she is now Norman human sized is probably because it's easy to say a character is super tall when there's no other human characters around, but I've you actually have other humans she's interacting with it probably looked weird as gently caress. Or they just forgot what it said in some old instruction manual. Probably the latter.

In other M they basically redesigned her from scratch. While the entire game bleeds sexism towards her(almost deliberately, as though sexism is the primary antagonist), her model is actually far less sexualized than the Prime 2, 3, and Smash models

I know there's some people out there who despite the last Punch-Out!! being pretty awesome and almost every entry in the series bar the arcade versions available to purchase, that Punch-Out as a series no longer exists if Mike Tyson isn't a part of it.


Like they included Punch-Out in that NES Mini? It was the inferior Mr Dream version so it doesn't count.

Sandman in the new game is by all means a much cooler Mike Tyson analogue and is just as loving scary

As someone who ended up strongly disliking XCX, I will say the actual combat is really good. You can customize your character's movesets to be a whirlwind of synergized abilities, with a reasonable moment-to-moment choice of using an ability for its own effects or to answer an ally's callout. It's just that everything else in the game is really sloppy that makes it a slow and increasingly unfun experience. Also a while into the game you get your robot suit, which looks cool but throws the original cool combat system out the window in exchange for a watered down version.

when people said it was the best open world they've ever experienced I thought it was insanity. there was nothing to explore or discover beyond more high level enemies you couldn't kill until 30 hours later. The game seemed to be a test for how hard they could push the absolute lowest tier characters and story against a better Xenoblade combat system and guess what, turns out it sucks.

Water down my rear end you spam the mega kill sword button and 1 shot everything. Just kills the entire mood of the game when all the combat degenerates into 1 second nuisance

5'6" isn't exactly "average" height for a man. I suppose it varies by country, as in China that is around average, but the chart uses imperial units and is in English, so presumably it was made in the US where the average male height is around 5'10".

Still, it's a shame that she went from an amazon to a shrimp.

Are you talking about the shape shifting thong aliens, or the furry thong aliens, or the furry thong aliens with the weird things over their nips? I think every alien race with women had lingering rear end shots except those ones with the anus mouths. They did linger on guy's asses too though, all asses were objectified.
