25 march is a thursday, which makes it less likely than if it were a tuesday or friday. but nice find nonetheless— guess we'll have to wait and see.

Where am I?

I hope they use that date but move it back two days. (My b-day is 3/23.) It would make that game that much better in my eyes. extra_smug

He's so happy!

And yeah I'm wondering about him being Houston as well. That's the only person I can think of who we'd "remember" unless it's a random person from ingame that you meet. Though why they would put that in the trailer makes no sense.

Hurr Durr

I think that Random Black Guy is actually Random Dead Guy from Super Metroid, that is the one found dead outside Kraid's room. Perhaps in this game the story of how someone could get killed by an eye door will finally unfold.

if this game does indeed explain some of her upbringing and becoming a bounty hunter I want to see her Chozo upbringing!

Well I don't think we're going to get much out of the trailer so it's all up to our speculation now. I just went through it frame-by-frame looking for anything suspicious that we could have missed before and found nothing.

The other big speculation is who is that woman at the end. Some think it's Samus but Samus is in the suit. That's leading to cloning theories and alternate universes and more.

I suppose an alternate reality is as likely a theory as any, especially since they played up the "mysteriousness" in that scene. I think it would make for a potentially interesting story, but VERY easily cliched.

Personally I'm looking forward to seeing more about Adam.

where abouts in the metroid timeline is this occuring?
Obviously before.. everything including zero mission?

Citing the wiki on the metroid story timeline it would suggest so.

Interesting how the story timeline bounces around with each new development.
Testament to non-linearity perhaps? laugh new

in japan, games get released on thursdays usually.

still, that date seems on the early side. the game looked like it still needed plenty of dev time.

once again, the black person might get killed first just like all movies.... Not talking

Breathe in the Future, Breathe out the Past

Did any of you shed tears of awe when watching this trailer? Maybe it's just the clonazepam.

I was quite happy with it, but I'm trying to keep my expectations reasonable for now.

As for the other woman, given the "Other M" <-> "MOther" <-> "M:OM" thing, I want Samus's parents to hold a role, along with the Mother Brain. As such, I wonder if this woman is a phantom or imagination figment or somesuch. When Cpadolf said (however sarcastically) RBG was the guy killed in Super, I wonder if all these past people could be haunting her, either for real or in her mind. I'unno, I just dunno. It'd be interesting, I think, to find out.

Oh I see.

Houston got a job at Nintendo, and HBA will be an extra game coming with Other M.

What a man ... !

The flesh is spongy and bruised

Just found this out...

-I hope Samus stays silent (unless Jennifer Hale pulls something good out of the bag)
-Kenji Yamamoto doing music *crosses fingers*
-They get the right balance between puzzle solving, platforming and blasting
-The graphics stay that good

Is there any news on Retro Studios future developments? Or have they financially imploded and I missed it?

they're working on an undisclosed game, it's believed they are off of Metroid for now

I don't think samus will stay silent.
And at the end of the trailer, she says“I'm Samus Aran”in a creepy voice.

Who voiced her in the trailer? Will Link and Mario enter the realms of vocal dialogue?

I don't know who voiced her, but I just noticed that she also says“Time to go”

Mario may one day have full dialouge.
But Link? Never. He will only scream and make annoying grunting noises.
