Description NES and SNES colors! This was for a gallery, but it didn't make it in. Still, I'm always down for an excuse to draw Samus anyway ;w;

I'm not someone that 'protects' other M.

But it's pretty understandable that it gives her more character, Everyone had their fear moments and I don't think even Samus can be badass 24/7.

Though, making her ridiciously weak that she can be literally backstabbed is kind of a derp.

im not denying that samus was given chrater ur right i personly thin how it was done was bad the freakout from ridly just seemout of place cuz were they put other m in the timeline after super metroid, wich in case u didnt know is near the end just b4 fusion. i think if they put it near the begining of the timeline it would b more understandable like after metroid zero missionΒ 

but thats just me

If I wrote the freakout scene, Samus would lash out at Ridley and act like Luke Skywalker in the climax of Return of the Jedi, but without Palpatine.

She would basically try to kill Rids, maybe even scream stuff like "DIE YOU F**KING B*TCH!" or "I'M GONNA F**KING KILL YOU!"

Random guy: What? Is Other M Voldemort now??!!

To quote Spidey2065 regarding Rob Zombie's Halloween II: When there is no more room in hell, this movie (game) shall walk the earth, and that is evidence that there really is a God, and if there's a God, there must be a f*cking Satan, and his name is not Michael Bay, but f*cking ROB ZOMBIE (YOSHIO SAKAMOTO)!!!

So, I guess there was no explanation for why Samus had purple skin?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 2

Persona22 In reply to nekoshonen236 [2014-09-27 15:07:25 +0000 UTC]

It's complicated.
In the original NES, depending on how fast you finished it, Samus would take either her helmet off or the entire suit, looking like this:
img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20…
kingandrook.files.wordpress.co…

As you can see, while a light brunette instead of a blonde, she's still a normal looking woman.

But if you started a game an placed the password: JUSTIN BAILEY media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2qgrf…
Then you could play with Samus looking like this:
img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20…
thisischris.com/feature/2005/i…
thisischris.com/feature/2005/i…

Looking with light purple skin and bright green hair. Completely different to how she looked in the ending.

My personal guess is that since the NES had a very limited color palette of how many colors it could display on screen at once, they had to choose a color set that matched most of the scenery so it wouldn't require to change the game's look completely.

The way Samus looked after a speed run from the old games to the newer ones is this: www.metroid-database.com/featu…
being NES, Game Boy, SNES and GBA in that order.
