There's really no point in constantly referring to her as 'he'. No one will be surprised by the end of it.

[TrapnestShinigami]

This year is also Metroid's 25th aniversary... and does anyone in Nintendo cares?

No

[JestermanX]

How come there's no mention of "ENGAGE RIDLEY MOTHERFUCKER"?

[fszron]

@chahalele People got so pissed at the password system, as a result the sequel "Metroid 2: Return of Samus" got a battery-backed save system.

[DavidStudiosproduct]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! He's back to saying cleverly named!

[Iceni77]

The problem I have with statements like "First game to appeal to older audiences" or "First game to allow back tracking" is that these concepts weren't 'first times'. Anyone who owned a Commodore 64 had games with these elements a few years before the NES was ever released. 'Impossible Mission' is a good example (avoid that game on the NES though because it was nowhere as good as the C64 version IMO).

[Killa2012MC]

i fuciking love this show

[J5MARLON]

Still dont know why a disk system in the US instead of being a cartridge base password system.

[J5MARLON]

@chahalele yep

[chahalele]

wait the japanese had save files while we had a password system wtf

[cramernjen]

@AguyinaRPG Well, they were. Name a game (besides Ms. Pacman) that had a female protagonist that cam out before 1990. And was a good game.
