New zero suit Samus is pretty and shapely, and her suit has built in high heels for some reason, and there's nothing automatically wrong with any of that, but there's plenty of video game women like that. Samus in her powersuit is interesting and unique, and all-the-more memorable for being a muscular, large, no nonsense mercenary first, and foremost.

They can try and retro-actively change it all they want, but that idea of Samus is just more interesting to me.
I did not know Samus was that tall and muscular under the suit (the old sprites don't make it very obvious). Funny that they've spent so much time putting her in skintight outfits with heels lately because she's basically wonder woman under there and that's way more attractive.

Anyway I've played super Metroid, the GBA titles, and Prime. I like the 2d ones well enough but I hated Prime so much. Way too much backtracking for me on a map that was much too large for it and it also just wasn't a very interesting world to me and I hate a first person action title with lots of shooting not giving me proper first person aiming. Might appeal to people who aren't fps fans but it always just feels completely wrong and cumbersome to me. You honestly couldn't pay me to ever play any of the prime titles again.
