Will Team Ninja Take The Slutty Route With Samus?
Was speaking with new Team Ninja boss Yosuke Hayashi today, and got to thinking…Team Ninja are admirers of the female form. Team Ninja are now doing Metroid. So will Team Ninja be admiring Samus’ form?
Oh come on. Don’t tell me you weren’t thinking it. The studio’s games, with or without former boss Tomonobu Itagaki, have always been as well known for their T&A as their swordplay and volleyball. So there are bound to be people hoping/fearing that they’ll soon be seeing Samus bouncing around in naught but a thong and a helmet.
Don’t worry. Hayashi says Team Ninja will be keeping things classy.
“Every female character in our games is as attractive as possible, both inside and out”, Hayashi said. “There has to be something attractive”.
“But as long as we provide that in the one place – the inside – that’s what’s important with this game”.
Touching. Maybe they’ll save the jubblies for Super Metroid Beach Volleyball Extreme?

Haha, I'm glad to see Reiq's artwork featured for this article. His stuff is top notch, perfect fit for it. Not like I haven't thought of Ayane Samus....
There WAS boob bounce in the trailer. Look closely.

@Curse_Lily:
Insert a japanese high school boy who lives by himself next door and you have yourself an ecchi series.
Thank heaven that Tomonobu Itagaki isn't working on this. It's not Xbox anyway so he'd refuse to work on it.
@Agumen: If I recall correctly, there were quite a few humans and humanoid creatures dying right in front of your eyes in Corruption.
mmmm speach less....
@Orian: Yeah, Samus has always been about how perfect her butt is. It's like beyond perfect.
@AznSlackerType~Is Mulling: ok.... wierd
@GrandAeon: i lol'd
hammerhand
@hoopesk2: Yeah, the trailer really looked like shit next to the three excellent "FPS" games from the Prime series. Not particularly excited.
Okay, let's be honest here. Samus has been slutty from the start. Your reward for playing well in the original Metroid was that she took her clothes off, and then you DID play through with Samus wearing nothing but a bikini.
Team Ninja sounds like a perfect fit to me.

"Team Ninja are admirers of the female form"
Correction:
Team Ninja are EXAGGERATORS of the female form.
i test the game physics engine by how the boobs in the game jiggle :D
@Vintage: That's not a Nintendo franchise, is it?
Nintendo controls their image with an iron fist. Anyone invited to make a game with one of Nintendo's properties must accept that Nintendo will veto anything they don't like, and that's not just content. It means gameplay too. Read the stories about how Retro Studios made Metroid Prime. Miyamoto will go down to their offices and toss a few tables if he has to.
@curly haired boy: "this is the best dream"
Pfft best dream THAT IS AN EPIC DREAM..HECK NOT EVEN ALL THE GODS ON MT.OLYMPUS COULD DREAM SOMETHING SO AWESOME.
Damn. It's not as though Nintendo itself doesn't do this in those unlockable galleries at the end of some metroid games.
Team Ninja blows. Has anyone tried Ninja Gaiden DS? It's fucking amateur hour over there.
Booji-Boy
@hageshiku: Agreed
Anyone that can roll up into a ball like that is incredibly hawt
Aurongel
Well, since it's a game, it's not exactly necessary to make her look really sexy... but at the same time, I sure as hell don't mind big breasted girls, with little to no clothing. So, I certainly won't complain if they go the "slutty" route, as you put it.

@Seraphlol: Samus looked fairly "respectable" in the trailers we saw. But I don't think it would hurt as long as its not DOA style gratuity.
Nintendo already went that direction though by introducing ZSS in Smash Bros. I mean, full 3D Samus in a skin-tight body suit? The seeds are already planted for Team Ninja.
@Curse_Lily: this is not the bad dream. on the contrary, this is the best dream.
curly haired boy
Someone REALLY needs to tell Japanese game developers that it's possible for a woman to be attractive without being freakishly deformed and dressed like a whore.
@chuffhoncho: You make it sound like she's curling up into the fetal position and taking a shit. Seems less "Samus Aran" and more "psych ward patient" to me.
kylenalepa
@Str8_Jihadin: Remind me of a 'If you know what i mean' type of game..
@chenry: I would so bang her. In her suit only though.
Take it off? Next.
@Zaranell: If admire = fap to, then yes. I also admire some of Reiq's art.
Honestly though, he's just a pretty damn good artist. Some of the porn stuff is w/e, IMO, but I do really like his style.
Power Suit > T&A.

@AznSlackerType~Is Mulling: While you are lost in thought, I am lost in the sea of massive boobage provided generously by my wifey. tripple D's ftw!
@SuperSonik: I like my women silent, and flexible.
Spiderbait
@Str8_Jihadin: And she's limber too!
Spiderbait
I did notice that she isn't "independently wrapped" in the trailer, which is actually kind of nice, because seriously, the zero suit seen in brawl would be impossible to put on.
They'd better respect the first lady of gaming, she's not Lara Croft, after all.

@Str8_Jihadin: I prefer missiles personally. ;)
@Theoutlet: Have you not seen his "Harem of hoes?"
@BetaRayPhil: Agreed. That drawing of Samus in the article picture looks hooorrrible.
@Seraphlol: to be fair- is it really team ninja anymore? i mean, under the hood, isn't it missing something? like it's *soul* perhaps?

I'm indifferent to the presence of enormous jubblies. As long as the rest of the game is classy I could care less, but I really wouldn't expect it to be too riske. Samus is an intelligent individual, that's what matters.
Toribor
I could care less what she wears, I just hope the game doesn't suck.
@Kyouya: *Thoughts of a Tecmo artist*
[Let's see here. Move these shoulder pads down a bit....slide them to the front....add nipple lights. There...I'm finished!]
-[[CHoZO]]-
@Theoutlet: I have one and I agree with AznSlackerType... I prefer B cups, truth be told. C is ok, but D and larger is just... Too much.
Then there's queen's blade... Hahaha... There is nothing remotely sexy about that at all... They call them gag boobs for a reason. Sexy comes from subtle curves (not rolls, and not giant orbs on an otherwise skinny body, especially) Well, really, sexy isn't an objective thing in the slightest. Sexy is (or should be) specific to every person, but try telling some people that...
@namesRhard:
...
I just acquired a missile expansion.
this is metroid. i dont think they should implement this on samus. there are many ways to make a female attractive. and what seen on the trailer was already,well pretty attractive. they shouldnt ruin samus figure as it is. its like thinking of removing marios moustache.
That's a huge relief. There's nothing quite like seeing game characters from my youth cheapened into tarts with the silicon-injected ideals of sexually-frustrated Japanese men.
Samus is probably one of the last and dwindling female protagonists that isn't a physics-based pair of tits.
@Vintage:
How about Conker's Bad Fur Day on the N64? The xbox version was censored.
Geist was rated M and had shower scenes. Eternal Darkness was M rated.
Nintendo doesn't have issues with M rated game on their consoles. BMXXXX for the gamecube for the strip club footage had it uncensored in full video while the xbox and ps2 versions were not only censored but in a small window.
Once the ESRB came into play Nintendo would let any M-rated game on their consoles and portables.

In the trailer they already show her... I wouldn't say slutty, but they definitely gave her good proportions. ^_^
The Amazing Exploding-Man
When she was revealed to be a woman in the first Metroid, I was like, "Daaaayuuum." Her humongous four pixel breasts were revolutionary.
@excel_excel: Its not that I hate them, I think it's just that I hate it when a character is butchered like that, because it feels for every 1 good piece of fan art available theres a couple D's in the background just waiting to flood my mind.
But sometimes I do hate huge breasts like that one chick that gets kidnapped in the beginning of NG2, all I think when I see something like that is, seriously???
AznSlackerType~Is Mulling
Remember how long it was before Peach was wearing something other than a ballroom gown?
@Agumen: as classy as... lets say no more heroes? i think i remember a lot of what you said Nintendo wont do in that.

@uchennaokafor: No, I also admire some of Reiq's art.

We can only hope that they use the picture on this article as concept art.
You hear that Team Ninja.
That is the sound of Samus fans sharpening their pitchforks and lighting their torches.
You be careful now.
Inside and out, hey? Maybe it’ll be worth getting then :P
anybody else waiting for Super Metroid Beach Volleyball Extreme as much as Metroid Other M? lol j/k, and yea you have a pretty heavy load to carry team ninja, taking over one of the greatest game series ever known to man isn’t as easy as your past projects, and for all you halo fans… samus could so kick master chiefs @$$ it isn’t even funny… i mean come on now, it isn’t even a fight really it is a complete obliteration. but anyways i am deffinately looking forward to the game, it looks pretty hardcore
Uuuuugh, Reiq is absolutely terrible...
Plus, he traces! Shame on you.
A realistic jiggle would be fine if she's ever out of her power suit.
AlucardsQuest
she's not so slutty. she's hot! don't get so angry.
slaughterstorm
dont think this is gonna happen, it is one of nintendo's key franchises. maybe just a few minor alterations here and there cause nintendo most likely have the final word. slutty samus will be a no-no but classy eye catching samus is a posibility
Yeah, Reiq makes awesome art/hentai. It's a turn on also that their usually based on game/anime characters.
