looks like beta stuff. there were tons of betas shown before the game was released, many with a very different look. there are even videos out there if you look hard enough. dunno if any beta roms were ever released though.

The Prime series has an energy bar, and it works very well. The squares in Fusion are your Energy Tanks, not your health. Fusion just has a number representing your health, which is fine, but a bar would make it even easier to read. Very glad Prime introduced that.

yeah,but the prime's health bar is okay,that from beta fusion just looks like pokémon's health bar

Yes, but it makes it easier to tell if Samus is about to faint.

i remember when i read a review of fusion when it came out, the magazine used shots from the released version and the early preview shots.

Hmm.  In the second picture, there seem to be some interesting hatches.  I wonder what the circle thing next to the mini-map is for.

Tremor detector of some sort?

I find it more odd that she doesn't have any etanks in any of those images.

Yo.
I also noticed that no activity appears in the circle in the only picture she's fighting a boss....

It's also odd that the energy bar goes all the way to 100, instead of 99, like in the Primes.

At first, I thought the circle thing was a sound measuring device, but then I saw Arachnus-X screaming.  Maybe it's an expansion detector, like the droning sound in the Prime games.

The expansion detector thing sounds more feasible, but may I throw a SA-X-detector theory in 'ere?

Hated by all
Maybe a scanner? It seems to intensify near heavy activity, and it shows a "locked-on" sign when encountering a boss.

Guess the HP Bar would work just by adding 100 with an E-Tank (or else putting little squares over the bar).

I like that idea, the detector is flat, then it gets a signal, then it goes crazy, and boom, SA-X up your ass shooting ice at you!

That wouldn't make sense, because whatever it is is doing something except in the boss battle.

Actually, that's there in all of them, it's just behind the spikes.

Yo.
My next guess is Bio-Sign Detector. Perhaps it's calibrated to detect Biological signs of Non-X creatures? No, no... Hmmm...

Probably too, like:

Adam: Samus, I'm detecting strong bio-signals in your scanner, let me run a check.... it seems they are not infected, try and bring them to the ship for further analysis.

Samus:.... **** NO *blast crap  away*

Obviously beta. Preview screen shots were tossed around on the internet before the game was realeased.
