I’m expected to believe these bozos found the Triforce when they couldn’t even find a single Gold Skulluta? :cmon:

There's other stuff in that tweet thread that suggests otherwise. It doesn't have colour data associated with it but the greyscale suggests a slightly different look to the central emblem. At best though it's maybe suggesting there was a possibility to save after the final Ganon fight and have a completed save file with the Triforce on the status screen like they did with later games.

And we had to share it!
I always liked throwing a pig into the sea and watching it swim back.

Someone reincorporated the beta Mario sprites into the running game.

All we need now is for someone to find that you can in fact get Mew in Pokemon Red and Blue (by using Strength on the truck 150 times, of course) and that it is possible to revive Aeris in FF7.

As it stands already, we all have to go track down That Kid who's uncle worked at Nintendo and apologize to them.

There's a Metroid one too, it's a useful reminder that Samus as an airhead girly-girl has been Japan's conception of her from the beginning and that Metroid: Other M was pretty consistent with that, we just thought she was cool and badass because of Western takes on the character.

Between this and the early Kokiri Forest map I love that you can see the clear trajectory of the devs going from being utterly infatuated with the concept of moving in a 3d space to having the novelty wear off and realizing that having to spend minutes running across empty terrain was actually really boring.

Rolling around in a ball leaving a trail of bombs as my standard method of transportation the entire game. If I find even one E tank, it’s completely justified.

I took the octopath less travelered,

And it made one-eighth the difference.
And here I was thinking it was the suit that turns Samus into a ball.

No, she could naturally turn into a ball the entire time, the suit just got modded around her ball capabilities. Then again I should've known this from freaking Metroid 1, so...

I mean, every game is just Samus going around and shooting poo poo, going into tight spaces as a ball, blowing up poo poo with missles, finding more nooks and cranies, and ultimately blowing up whatever place she's on. She can be both a hardend badass and a lovable goofball at the same time.

Well ain't that precious?

Nintendo is not exactly well known for keeping a close eye on its official manga. Some pretty weird poo poo can be put into them, like what the Pokemon manga was like before it a become a huge hit. The comic is fine, its just having some fun. No need to get morally outraged, she isn't portrayed as a badass bounty hunter 100% of the time.

I just found it very funny to go "This parody proves the original artistic intent because I am still mad about Other M a decade later"

She also wasn't particularly airheaded in Other M either, she was just nothing

Saying the three random writers who made those Metroid gag comics for a game magazine in the 90s represent the "original Japanese intent" for Samus's character is pretty funny.

But I do believe that Samus can do the ball thing without the suit. I'll take that as canon.

Those are comedy comics. They are not intended to be realistic depictions of the characters. You can find countless similar comics and the entire point is that they are jokes.

The idea of "oh yeah no Japan always thought that way" isn't actually backed up by literally anything. Other Metroid material exists



Pictured: Samus Aran.

It's really loving bizarre that you made this claim completely unsourced when it's so easily disproven.
