Re: Samus talk earlier.
In the earlier Metroid games Samus is described as being really buff, because hey she's a woman who kicks rear end so hard and so frequently she was often assumed to be a robot. Super Metroid is easily my favorite game and I remember being blown away when I found out she was a woman, 8 year-old me thought that was real cool. Since I've always played as a woman in just about any game that has the option as homage to my favorite video game hero.
drat did I ever laugh hard at that guy who made Other M to replace the Prime trilogy, which occasionally touched on Samus's softer side about 1000x better and more subtle than Other M. It's totally spite too because the Prime trilogy takes place before Super Metroid where Other M takes place after.
