Nintendo sent Retro new Samus grunts for Prime when placeholders were "too sexual"

"In recent months, YouTube channel Kiwi Talks has been interviewing former members of the Metroid Prime development staff at Retro Studios. We previously covered his interview with Lead Designer Mike Wikan, which included a look at how Nintendo oversaw plot changes. Kiwi Talks released another interview over the weekend, this time with Clark Wen, who served as Audio Director on Metroid Prime 1 and 2. There’s lots of good behind-the-scenes info, especially if you’re passionate about audio design. Most interestingly, Wen discusses the mystery of Samus’s voice actress and Nintendo’s concern over placeholder grunts being too sexual." - Nintendo Enthusiast

Lol Nintendo has a better chance at shutting down rom sites than trying to limit the sexualization of samus.

ikarodemon909d ago

Sexualized characters are the best. Gimme more!

The industry is going to have to crash to stop this advancing plague.

This is something that happened around 20 years ago. lol. This isn't about Metroid Prime 4.

He didn't even make it through the description that's right below the headline here. Just wait until this kid learns who Jack Thompson was...

Youre kidding me, right? Nintendos one of the most perverted companies in the world playing it all off as Disney. The Japanese are obssessed with little girls and panty shots. Bayonetta, ONLY on Nintendo now. Dont let Nintendo fool you, theyre perverts.

Also, remember the original NES game, the higher the difficulty, the more naked she was at the end of the game til she was in a bikini at the end, and Samus always had big boobs.

Obsessed with little girls and panty shots? Maybe you should talk to a real Japanese person before generalizing. Things like that are a niche market. The average Japanese guy doesn't even care for hentai which is also a niche thing for people with twisted abnormal perversions

Wouldn't the X-ray Scanner in Super Metroid be the original detective mode?

I can’t believe it’s been 20 years since I bought this for my GameCube! My best friend and I ordered pizza for delivery, it was snowing outside and we stayed in all weekend playing it. Still one of my all time favorite games and I really hope the Switch ports being rumored is true. Fantastic game, one for the ages🙂

If i could only pick one I'd go with super metroid.

Best (for me) would be the first Metroid Prime. It was simply amazing the first time i played it. so deep and challenging while also turning the series completely into something that felt new and fresh.

Worst (for me) is most likely Other M. I can appreciate what they were trying to go for but it just felt flat and played out.

Looking at the rest of the list, I never played Federation Force but i have played the rest. Pinball is still one of my favorites to play now and then.
