Metroid

I could play SM right now to confirm my thoughts, but I am lazy and will ask instead!

Was "The Last Metroid Is In Captivity. The Galaxy Is At Peace." voiced?

Yes.

In the Prime games, they made the wave beam an electricity gun, and the plasma beam a fire gun. (Though the name plasma does imply immense heat as a fourth state of matter, so that ones not a stretch.) Oh, and ice is still more or less ice. But if you were to adapt the Spazer into the Prime games, what would you do with it?

It'd be a scattershot, I guess, but I can't imagine assigning an element to it.

It might be better off as a standard stacking upgrade that adds additional projectiles to charged shots, instead of a switchable mode like the other beams.

Switch that takes three shots at once to open, but reverts at too quickly a rate for the regular Power Beam.

There we go, I knew I wasn't hallucinating!

Only just found Nintendo's April Fool's video on Metroid Prime 4.

that was cruel Nintendo

*GameXplain

Their real April Fool's should have been a video where they claim to not be interested in the Switch 2.

When I saw that video in my subscriptions, I went to the Nintendo Channel to see as Gameexplain posts trailers around the same time when Nintendo releases a trailer. Nope, no trailer.

Thanks to this video, I now know Samus' weakness.

Thank God Raven Beak didn't think of just clubbing her with the camera.

Yes he did. That's how the game opens, in fact.

But she went full metroid on him, didn't she?

I say, he didn't hit her hard enough.

We'll never know how hard the blow was.

Only that it was hard enough to break the camera, which is why there is no footage of it.

My personal meme about the intro is that RB used Chozo DRM to lock Samus out of her stuff.

In an interview with Game File, Fortnite lead creator Donald Mustard says they wanted a Samus skin, but Nintendo wanted it exclusive to the Switch.

Not surprising. Nintendo is protective of their IP

Smart move. Being in Fortnite would ruin Samus' dignity more than Other M did.

How?

Like complaining about X showing up in Fortnite is like complaining about the sky being blue

The two aren’t even comparable

Ones a harmless cameo

The others complete character asassination

I was making a Take That! towards Fortnite. Obviously the two aren't comparable. I just thought it would be funny.

Yeah I mean... There are few folks that aren't in Fortnite.

Reminds me of how Marvel Ultimate Alliance almost had Samus and Link fighting alongside Spider-Man and Wolverine but the test build had them on PS 2 hardware and Nintendo flipped. Considering residual data might have ended with them being playable on the PS 2 or Xbox with the help of a game genie or something probably a reasonable reaction at the time.

In any case, it's no skin off Nintendo's nose whether or not Samus shows up on Fortnite.

We know that in combat, Samus is one of the most deadly things in the galaxy, but how good a pilot do you think she is? Because in Zero Mission she got shot down, although she was quite badly outnumbered.

I imagine Samus as The Ace who can show up just about anyone at anything, so her being one of the galaxy's best pilots would put my heart at ease.

Me thinking about the day Nintendo announced “Federation Force” and the HUGE backlash against it. Woof.
