Hi Sean,
Can any review beat this : http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/2015-Metroid-Other-M
.
I don’t watch ZP, but this was pretty good.
.
You know how you have that ‘feeling’ of something but when someone puts it into words, you are like ‘aha’ and it crystallizes the issue in your mind? ZP does this on the point that Samus’s suit ‘disappears’ so we can see more of her butt. Clearly, we know what body part Sakamoto prefers in his women (and boy, do I feel creeped out already)..
.
I do not believe the Zero Suit has been helpful for Samus Aran or Metroid in general. When Samus revealed herself at the end of older Metroids, she would just have a bikini on. I prefer her being in her metallic suit in a bikini than this “zero suit”. The only reason why she has the ‘Zero Suit’ is so she can run around with a pistol and act like a ninja ‘ninja’. Samus was likable because she did not have super-Human powers. We figured that Samus outside of her suit would be instant death in the hideous alien environments on Zebes. But in Sakamoto’s bizarro world, Samus is a super ninja and the armor is just a costume which she can turn ‘on’ and ‘off’ at will (depending on whether it is time to show off her butt some more).

Also, if the player is constantly shown Samus’s body throughout the game, doesn’t that ruin the traditional ‘reward’ of Samus taking off more of her metallic suit?
