In the Manga the Chozo created Metroids and Samus knows this, yet in one of the trailers she talks about how Metroids were DISCOVERED on SR388 and in Metroid 2 they call SR388 "their homeworld". Clearly that doesn't follow the Chozo creating them, especially since Samus (in the manga) knows that the Chozo created the Metroids.RagnarokX said:

1. The Federation was trying to create Metroids in Fusion
2. Samus kills all the Metroids left by sending the ship crashing into earth
3. Samus is now the only thing left with Metroid DNA
4. The Federation's probably not pleased that Samus blew everything up, plus they want to make Metroids
5. But hey, Samus has Metroid DNA
Story's not done yet. Metroid Dread should see bounty hunters coming after her. Would be a pretty interesting twist and might even be a decent change of play style (getting abilities to stay one step ahead instead of getting somewhere out of reach).
Sakamoto's probably waiting for them to make another true Alien movie though, considering each one of the four main Metroid games are loosely based off them.

Metroid was based off Alien (and probably more likely Aliens).
Metroid II was more directly based off Aliens. Both series protagonists go after the killing machines on their homeworlds and fight and kill the queen. Also, nothing lives except for one (well, in Alien 3's case, two).
In Super Metroid and Alien 3, it's back to the basics. Super Metroid returns to where the first game took place and Alien 3 acts more like the first Alien. The biggest difference is while Ripley and Samus both find themselves "mothers" to the creatures, Ripley's gives the ol' college try and tries to kill her.
Metroid Fusion and Alien Resurrection sees both protagonists back. Samus was injured because a virus, but she gets better because of Metroid DNA. Ripley was injured because of death, but she gets better because they clone her from Ellen Ripley's DNA plus some Xenomorph DNA. Each military/federation thing also tries to recreate the xenomorph/metroid.
Metroid Prime games were spinoffs and Other M is an anime in video game form.
My only concern is that Ridley looks too buff in the commercial. EVERYTHING ELSE IS HYPE HYPE
Seeing the intro again... I don't mind voice acting in Metroid, but they don't have to put the voices in EVERYWHERE. The bit where she blasts mother brain, with the metroid, it would work better without voices. For other things, leave the voices in. Perfectly fine. Just don't overdo it. STILL HYPE HYPE HYPE

It prompts a system update (PAL version), yeah.
Finished now. One of the hard bits was a really daft little moment where the thing I tried first time didn't seem to work, and I had to reload and try again.
Took me about 14 hours but I only got 56% of items.

Isn't this hearsay/loose speculation? I am sure I've read somewhere that the idea for metroid (or maybe just samus) was lightly inspired by Alien many years after the first film debuted but I don't think it's been said to have been straight-up fact. I might be wrong though.
Edit: And even if it's fact for the first game, I think stretching it to say they correspondingly develop a major metroid game for every subsequent Alien film is a bit interpretive.

Very good length for a more 2Dish Metroid, I was afraid it would be like 6 hours like most of the 2D Metroid games were. Just to make sure you are not some really slow player or something right?

Tuesday.
Though, many stores will already have it this week, so you might get lucky and get it early.
fireside said:
Do you honestly need more than 3 for a Metroid game?
I mean, if this was like a 50 hour RPG, I could see wanting more, but a 12 hour side scroller...

Uh, why? How many variations of ways do you intend to beat a game so it can be immortalized?

I've always been okay with
-file with fastest any% run
-file with fastest 100% run
-open file for new playthroughs
for Metroid games

The only real issue I saw with three save files was back on Prime. The various difficulty settings, trying to beat each as fast as I could for fun, and then trying to have 100% completion on both as well...and having roommates who wanted to start "fresh" and play for fun themselves. I could have easily used 5 or 6 save slots then. Plus, what if it's a family of four or more and each wants to play their own file?
Edit: I know GCN had Memory Cards and you could have multiple cards to get around the save slot limit, but there's no reason save slots are so limited nowadays with memory sizes and storage solutions on all these machines.
Edit 2: If you have an SD card and a PC/Mac with a card reader, you can have a ton of saves, so keep that in mind. Sort of goes with above thing, but it's a work around for now.
Edit 3: Unless Nintendo trolled and locked the save data, which I thought was restricted to online-based games only. Don't know the answer to that one yet.
