Any Metroid player was surprised by Samus being a girl.

In Metroid 1, nobody would independently think they got a reward for beating the game in a fast speed. Maybe they'd see a little pixelly shape that looks like a dude with a mullet in armor. If they did beat the game fast, it'd be because someone told them they'd see Samus as a girl; so they wouldn't be surprised by the revelation.

In Metroid 2, same thing, except that basically nobody played Metroid 2 without having played another Metroid beforehand or soon after.

In Super Metroid, Samus being a girl was all over promotional material and the game over screen.

In every game released afterwards, the internet was widespread.
