I remember playing Metroid Prime on Gamecube and getting the ending where she takes off her helmet. She looked freakin awesome . I then played Metroid Prime 3 and was shocked they changed her appearance so drastically . Did Retro ever comment on this? Im curious as to why they did it .

I would think it would be to coincide with Brawl. I too liked the realistic take more and preferred the half-and-half used in Other M. But regardless, it's definitely jarring.

If anything, they just tried to match what was established by Zero Mission, which they didn't make. Soooo blame... whatever internal team it was.

Her Echoes appearance was disturbing, but her Prime 1 appearance was hideous.
Sure she looked more realistic, but oh god those fugly lips...
The same polish owning murder does not make nail.

I know this isn't exactly what the thread is about but I also don't really like the triangular and disproportionate design of her suit in Prime 1 compared to the art in the SNES version.
