Well it could be one of the unlockables when you finish the game. But I'm personally glad they did it this way, they kept true to the Metroid franchise by making the game about Samus.

Sure, the game could still just be about Samus.
'cept now you get to kill her instead of save her

OK, how will people be able to play this with a thumb strap? My thumb wont reach more than half way across the touch pad. Am I missing something?

Same here...

However, I wouldn't mind an alternate story mode (after beating Samus' of course) that allowed you to play through the game again with any of the other hunters (sans, perhaps, certain morph ball specific obstacles).

That's what multi-player is for.

There's a couple of other things. When you finish the game, we do actually show the time that you took to get through the game. Also, we keep track of the total enemies killed through the whole life of the game. So each time you play, it keeps adding up and adding up and adding up, and I'm sure there's gonna be forums where there's like, "Ah, I got a million kills. I got two million kills." (laughter) There's all that online competition that I think that will be going on. It's always interesting to see what ways people find to play your game.

sounds pretty cool

That's one of the beautiful things about it. All the characters are totally balanced. We don't think there are any broken, too-strong characters.

What about the right side of the screen?

The rival system seems pretty cool. Based on the interviews it seems like you can't chat with rivals, but you can set up games with them. And after a game you can add the ones you have played with as rivals so you can play with them again.
