You're right, that costume is purely functional. Look at Samus, all comfortable and sporty in her revealing outfit. What a go-getter!
Hmm yeah, now that Ike is hunkier than ever I think some stylish beachwear is in order.

As someone who is ZSS-main, huge Metroid fan and lover of alternate costumes (oh how I love you Tekken Tag 2 so much) this is great. It's a nice callback to past games.
In a lot of ways it's less sexual that. The ZSS being basically sportswear as opposed to a skintight suit. It could have been the NES leotard too.
As for the boots they're a part of her moveset. At least Sakurai made the heels useful now. I like the idea of rocket boots aiding in Samus' Chozo agility. Obviously without her armor this would be a focus.
I tried searching Miiverse for this post. I want to Yeah it so much.

Straight toward the giant D, sure.
(I actually have no idea if Falcon has shown romantic interest in anymore, male or female. But I'm claiming him for #TeamGay in the interim.)

As someone mentioned earlier.... it really is a necessary disclaimer in today's online community for anything including a woman showing skin.

Not sexual.
And even if you pretend these aren't sexual, why would you have a problem with a shirtless male? Surely that wouldn't be sexual either?

Between Blood Falcon's laundromat incident, Captain Falcon's splitting boxers, Octoman posing in a muscle-man contest, and other displays of bulging muscles (spandex-clad Black Shadow, etc), I think I know what the "G" in "GX" stands for...
Oh Nintendo
Not that there's anything wrong with that
Time for some image training to fix your perverted mind.

Attention: Women are known to sometimes workout in sports bras and shorts, and not XXL baggy potato sacks as some people here would like to believe.
Looks great to me, and throwing it back to the GBA Metroid games is some good stuff.

Everything is preemptive these days.
Wow, lol
Tbh I don't know either.
Anyone wanna watch that horrible anime and find out?
On topic: I legitimately hope this doesn't cause too much of a ruckas.
or what? you take shirtless beefy mario/luigi and you'll like it

Did you just call the anime bad? I'll have you know the F-Zero anime is the greatest creation since
the kirby anime
It's not a case of Justin Bailey not being in the Japanese version, it's a case of it not being a proper code. The Metroid password system can allow false passwords which result in a variety of things and Justin Bailey just happened to be one that got popular because it is easy to remember. You're better off hoping for her proper zero suit outfit from the first game: brunette with pink outfit.

This suit variant has the shape of a sports bra, but it's allowing the breasts to protrude like the loosest of bikinis or lingerie. This is a fan service suit.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, mind you, but let's not pretend otherwise.

Too bad it didn't get a dub with Spanish Goroh.

Only if it's this version.

The return of Brinstar in the 3DS version is discouraging for a few reasons.
- Brinstar has been in every Smash Bros game; Planet Zebes in the first game was basically the same stage.
- The version of Brinstar from Super Metroid, often considered the best Metroid game or among the best, looked nothing like the stage in Smash or the later Brinstar Depths stage.
- There has been a lack of stage variety in general for Metroid, with every stage except Frigate Orpheon containing some form of lava or acid and every stage taking place in an interior environment. The Metroid series has a variety of environments from snowy mountains to murky waters to cities in the sky, so bringing back the acid cave again feels even more tired.
- I want to see new interesting Metroid stages, and if the only new Metroid stage is the ugly and bland lava-filled Pyrosphere from Metroid Other M, I'll be very disappointed.
Okay? I'm aware. What does that have to do with what I said?
I suppose you. Just funny to watch people build the strawmen before there's even anyone to attach it too.

Nice alt, Samus. ;P
Not as sexy as the ones from Metroid II or Super but it's a nice gesture.

Well they had to do something because you can't get away with "this is a callback to a decade old game and also something you can probably see by looking out your nearest window at someone jogging by right this minute" anymore without somebody starting an online petition or some shit.

Perhaps I misinterpreted what you said.
I just think it's weird that as soon as something like this happens, a lot of comments are along the lines of "wait until tumblr gets a load of this", indicating it's some hive mind.

It was a dumb outfit back then, it's a dumb outfit now.

I support these costumes. I always wanted to play ZSS in her GBA ending outfits.
men and women are also known to walk around naked =P
Any outfit referencing a game is a fan service suit. This whole game is fan service.

Oh this is one of those... threads.. ok, ok. I see how it is gamers.. :/
Yes, but it's less dumb than the Zero Suit, so I'll take it.

We turned this thread around, it could have been a bunch of bullshit but now it's awesome bullshit!
It honestly makes more sense to me than the actual Zero Suit lol

You can send all thank-you notes/fan mail/cheques to my booking agent.
You're all a great crowd.
Did they actually have to do something? Will the thing they chose to do actually be useful in stopping people from doing the things you say they will do?
where do i send my axe.

I think it looks great.
My wife wears stuff close to that around the house. Should I berate her for being sexist or a gender traitor or something GAF? I am confused. Please guide me.

Sakurai's comment is a waste of breath. I imagine the concept of a female Japanese dev does not fit the world view of Kotaku and their ilk.
Things such as "Truth" and "intent" are no threat to the Robot Carnival.
Stop bragging. ;-P

I can see the headline now: "Nintendo Should Stop Letting 13-Year Old Boys Design Their Fem..., what? A who? No, no, that doesn't...Are you sure? Can we just accuse anyone who's not mad at this of being pedophiles again?"
