Did you know Nintendo invented female protagonists?

They didn't, but that one is the only one relevant to the modern era of gaming. There's no Ms Pacman or Baraduke games being made.

Ms Pac Man was waaay sexier.

Now that the dust has settled, was Meteoroid being a girl, dare I say it, the quintessential shocking and unexpected moment in retro gaming?

doesn't count if Nintendo hide it unless you beat the game under certain conditions. show me where they advertised a female protagonist and I'll change my mind.

Maybe that's why Nintendo has all but killed the franchise off. Is Captain Falcon a trans too?

This reminds me of the time news outlets flipped their lids because they thought one picture from a glitch in Tomogatchi Life meant they were removing gay options that were never added int he first place or that interview Kojima where he was distinguishing story preferences rather than calling westerners morons.

The quote is apparently real, it's in the bottom center of this page which is on the Metroid wikia. He says she's "not a woman, but a newhalf".

Do note that this guy was in charge of graphics, not directing or writing the story. Also this might have been a joke.

One of the most shocking and unexpected moments in retro gaming was when Metroid turned out to be a man.

Reminder that Samus has bare legs, breast cleavage and sideboob in Metroid II. You'll never get this again so savor it.

sakamoto actually brought it up, also joked about it then deconfirmed it outright, so the intention doesn't really matter anymore
