With all due respect, if Nintendo were to introduce Samus with the blue suit that she's wearing in the latest game, then we would have other kinds of problems, mostly to do with how female characters are designed to appeal the male audience. My personal preference is that I like her wearing the classic yellow suit. After all, if a male can wear protective gear when he fights against pirates in space, I don't see why a female shouldn't.



To be fair, the only games where the zero suit is featured except for the end game are:

* "Metroid: Zero Mission" She crashes, and thus doesn't have the power suit (for a while). Also, it was for the GameBoy, so the sex-appeal isn't as strong.

* "Super Smash Brothers" is probably the worst offender. (not a Metroid game)

* "Metroid: Other M": It apparently has minor occurrences throughout.
