QUOTE | “We're very close to having the first VR death.” - Denny Unger, creative director at Cloudhead Games, talking during Unite 2014 about the very real dangers developers will grapple with in VR.

Obviously I can't speak for Nintendo but once again you're making stupid assumptions. Are you saying that I clearly have a preference to the Zero Suit because I'm defending it? Because that's what I'm inferring since I've never actually stated whether or not I actually prefer the Zero Suit or the Power Suit. This is…

The suit doesn't make the character. That's all there is to it.

Yeah... Ugh... it's so unfortunate. I really want to defend Samus as a character but you're absolutely right that she is nothing but a thing of fiction and is more than likely being exploited by Nintendo's male designers. I really wish that wasn't the case, and that her being dressed this way wasn't purposefully for…

Mmm, ok I can respectfully redact my slut shaming accusation then. Unfortunately, you probably right about Samus's attire being designed for exploitation.

I REALLY don't want to believe that but it's hard to deny.

So I'm adorable, sue me.

There's a lot of truth in what you're saying and if I'm going to be honest with myself then I have to admit that that might actually be what's going on here.

Yeah, obviously if I were employed at Nintendo I'd never be designing woman fully in the nude. That said, I actually disagree with your view of Samus's costume not fitting in with the rest of the characters. I'm sure we all thought Snake was going to be an odd inclusion in Brawl but he worked out just fine. I don't…

From a PR standpoint that makes total sense. It's a safe approach and would save your client from a lot of controversy and backlash. Let me just state, though, if I were a Lead Designer I'd fight you tooth and nail on it. I might lose but fuck me if not going to defend my artistic choices, or those of my design team.…

Wow... Ok, I'm going to explain this real slow like, ok?

I get that. I'm not super educated on Metroid Lore but if I'm not mistaken, the Zero Suit is only used when she loses access to her power armor. In her own games it's never a choice, but in the event that she can't use her armor, she's outfitted her suit with rocket boots and relies on her hand to hand and marksman…

You make a good point too, man. Society IS superficial, and it does suck that this kind of outfit can give our society the wrong idea. I have to argue still, the outfit itself doesn't undermine the character's strength. I feel that the way society has trained us to look at woman with less clothing is what undermines…

WHO SAYS IT'S EVEN BRA AND PANTIES!? IT COULD BE A SPORTS TOP AND SHORTS.

John Struan, I highly suggest/request you omit the word "skimpy" in your piece and replace it with "sporty".

Yeah, skimpy is not a good word here. Is Women's MMA full of skimpy outfits?

I was never disputing the point of Metroid. When on God's green Earth did I try to dispute that?

Ugh, you know what, if Samus wants to fight aliens butt fucking naked, that should in no way make her less of a strong female. If you really think that CLOTHING makes a strong female protagonist then you are just stupid and misogynistic. Whether she's got track shorts and a sports bra, or suited up from head to toe in…

I'm not 100% sure I know what you're getting at here.

I'd like to see Windwaker Zelda's hairstyle on "Tall" Zelda.
