It's funny how #Nintendo rewarded '80s-gooners for beating #Metroid faster by removing articles of #Samus' clothing and now we're all like "a female protagonist, how progressive!"

Have we ever actually seen Samus hunt a bounty? I've always known that she's a bounty hunter, but most of the games start with some sort of plot where she's just addressing some crisis caused by metroids.

Maybe in the first game, she was hunting a bounty on Mother Brain?

#MetroidDread has superb #animation, and I think this analysis captures the artistry at play very well. https://youtu.be/1B1beXTnvEI?t=618

#Samus' animation in Dread delivers on character. She is lithe, powerful, confident. In Prime, she felt much more stocky, heavy.

Got a new #amiibo:

#Samus from the #MetroidDread amiibo series. Usually only available in a 2-pack with the EMMI amiibo (which I don't want) and the whole thing is way too expensive for just Samus. But fortunately someone on eBay sold it separately for cheap 🥳

While I sniped this one, I also got a cheap deal on the #SamusReturns version but that one hasn't arrived yet.

Metroid was the first NES game I got when I was a kid besides the Mario Bros/Duck Hunt pack-in and it’s still one of my all time favorites to this day.

What was the first NES game that ignited your imagination?
