The only ones I've played all the way through are:
Metroid
Metroid II:Return of Samus
Super Metroid
and this the Samus I know.
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.
