Quote from UchihaSasuke:
also, the queen is easy to kill compared to ridley so i'd bet, from Samus' POV, ridley is more scary.

Queen? EASY?! That was the hardest battle I fought in the game. fuckin metroids latchin onto me when I try to kill one of them.

Not impossible
just highly unlikely
She was also a huge pain in the ass in Metroid 2.

The simple fact of the matter is that the writers of this game think that emotional issues = character development. They are wrong.

my umbrella goes directly to Bankai
i was going by how much it costed me in hard mode to beat both bosses. also, Ridley didn't have assistance like the Queen.

No, that sentence doesn't retcon the Prime trilogy.
In the Prime trilogy, the GF were a client, not her "boss", easy

I don't see why Samus needed developing at all. Make her talk, sure, that's fine, but someone with Chozo blood doesn't really let their old father figure issues get under their skin much. She sure as shit didn't in Fusion.

Other M makes me want to play Fusion. brb playin fusion.

The only thing I see as a possible retcon is the aurora units. Why not just use an Aurora Unit to control the creatures?

Notice how most of these retcon stuff in MP3, but barely touch MP 1 or 2.

Also, she was shocked when the Zebesians were cybernetically enhanced. *cough*Prime 3. *cough*

In all fairness, the Zebesian design in the Prime Trilogy is sorta out of line with other Metroid games.

WAIT A MINUTE. You start out Metroid Prime with the grapple beam, even though you never have the grapple beam in Metroid/Zero Mission.

Metroid Prime is an impossibility.
EDIT: OK, I'm exagerrating a little. She could have gotten it between ZM and Prime. But we will never see it.

Grapple Beam's also in her left hand, and doesn't come out of her arm cannon.

Quote:
RG: For a few years, Samus Aran has been "living" in the United States [In terms of her game's development - Ed.]. Now that the series has returned to Japan, how has it changed? What is the difference between Retro Studios' Samus and Other M's Samus?

YS: The series has been abroad for a while, and has now returned to its roots. In Japan, the game comes out tomorrow; I think that many followers of the Metroid saga are eagerly anticipating it and will be satisfied with the series's return to Japan. Regarding “the Samuses”, it is a complicated question. Nearly everybody has asked about the Prime series, which are part of the Metroid timeline, but are completely different. It has nothing to do with it, but it could be a way to represent other facets of Samus's personality. I don't want to create divisions between the Samus from the east and the Samus from the west; to me, the real Samus is the one you will meet in Metroid: Other M.


I would think that would be the end of that.

here's a concept i dont think anybody thought of... (btw i didnt read all posts so i may stand corrected) perhaps the prime trilogy did not in fact happen directly after the first game. isnt the whole argument behind the placing of the prime trilogy based on....
the metroids exist so it could not be after 2 or super. well clearly we now know that metroids have been cloned and may very well still exist outside the bottleship even after other m. plus in fusion samus says metroid dna still resides in her. could it possibly be extracted and used to clone them YET AGAIN. this time would also explain her surprise

...Nintendo has directly stated that Metroid Prime is after the original metroid. Well, Nintendo power provided a timeline.

Zebes still exists in the Prime series, so the only possible place the subseries can be is after Zero Mission but before Metroid II.

And yeah, Nintendo has said that that is when the Prime games take place.

further more...
when it comes to ridley's existence. someboyd mentioned that in prime it says that ridley is destroyed in the first game. this does not rule anything out as we now know he can be cloned. it can and most likely does mean that metaridley could have been a cloned and enhanced ridley at ANY point the timeline.

also who is to say the prime series does not weave in and out of the 2d games. just because
dark samus isnt defeated until prime 3
doesnt mean that she didnt have any missions in between the prime games. corruption could have happened after other m and would thus samus's statement of
this was the first mission with the galactic federation since i became a bounty hunter
could still very much be true.

ok but when was the timeline released. before or after corruptions was released? if before then corruptions could still potentially take place after.

Right before Other M was released.

Team Ninja didn't write the story to Other M.  Any perceived story screw ups would come from Sakamoto.
