It makes it seem like she's wearing a messed up fusion suit over a yellow power suit.

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

Well, the second upgrade got it to a nasty green and purple. But that wasn't really all that Bad. I mean, it was orange at the very end...

Red and Yellow/Orange has always been what I've established as being Samus's "colors".

That doesn't make it look any less ugly.

Those colors only really work on the actual power/varia suit. On the fsion suit... Not so much. I preferred it over the blue and yellow, but it still looked weird.

Considering you already jumped from the "traditional" yellow/red/orange scheme into purple, not to mention your first game appearance included green hair, I don't think color limits are too strict.  Samus can be whatever color she wants.  If anything a previously unseen suit color makes the Fusion Suit a little easier to swallow, at least then it feels more original.  By the end of the game, you're orange-over-yellow, which gives me the impression that the suit design is pretending to be something it isn't.  Of course, with fighting your fully powered self the whole damn way, pretty much the entire game gave me that vibe.

Blue is if anything the most pleasant of its colors for me.  I just think that, color irrelevant, the Fusion Suit looks like a sack of alien pond scum.  Granted, competing with the Varia Suit design is one hell of an uphill battle.

Get the [tornado fang] off this forum, you [tornado fang]ing piece of [parasitic bomb].
Blows.

In other news, wasn't the Phazon Suit badass?

Until MP pulled a tentacle [twin slasher] and stole it.

It WAS badass. I loved it. Then Metroid Prime stole it. >:[

Function over form.

Besides that, the Chozo were bird-like; remember, their aesthetics would be different from ours.

So Samus' fearsome ultimate armor would have a cat tail and ears. >U<
Stealth, climbing up walls, falling from great heights unscathed, etc.

Cat ears and tail?

And what is the ultimate bird predator?

Something I just remembered to mention in regards to Other M, is it just me or does it look like the coalition of Team Ninja & SPD1 are trying to make Samus truer to the acrobatic side of her nature with the amount of insane looking jumps and handling we saw in the trailer?

I'm seriously looking forward to that, especially if Super Metroid is their benchmark. *o*

[acid burst] easy. My first death in P1 was the Omega Pirate in the Phazon mines. And I THINK he was my last too.
P2.. havent gotten far in yet.
P3... dont remember.

I haven't died yet. I had to reset on Omega Pirate 3 times (Because I kept getting my Lock-On Focused on the Troopers instead of the Omega Pirate.). But I noticed you can't skip cutscenes this time around. Real [tornado fang]ing annoying.

I'm actually planning on going through MP1 and Maybe MP2 on Veteran, then If I'm still Intrested MP3. And Hypermode when I'm ready to take a beating (Though MP1 and 3 wont be so bad in that aspect... Maybe... MP2 will be hell.)

Using the name "Hypermode" for the higher difficulty of MP3 is such a cock-tease.  I hear it and I envision a whole-game-Phaaze-mechanics mode.

Oh well, that's why we have WiiRD. 8)
