Honestly I think this is a bad example. Guys are generally happy to play games with attractive bad-ass female leads. See Metroid/Tomb Raider/Bayonetta/Nier/etc
I actually think this is a fantastic example for this reason. Gamers back in the day were PISSED when they found out Samus Aran was a fEmOiD
Yeah, but fort that you had to finish the game. That was HARD as hell back in the days. I believe neither I nor anyone in my elementary school knew Samus was a girl because nobody managed to finish the game.
Isn't her silhouette revealed when you die?
not in the original, you're thinking of the thirdquil on the snes.
thirdquil?
Third sequel I guess? It's not a word. And Super Metroid would be the second sequel anyway.
