    Also, is Metroid Prime's gun attached to his arm or is it a part of the suit?

    @voiceinject: I'm going to respond to this as if it is actually a genuine question and not trolling.

    First, the protagonist in both the Metroid & Metroid Prime is a woman named Samus Aran. It is the same woman in both franchises. The armor you see is just that, armor that she wears. The Metroid Prime games are generally considered side stories within the Metroid universe. The arm cannon is part of the suit.

    I think Nintendo would sooner make a game where Zelda is a girl than a game where Metroid is one.

    I thought Mega Man evolved into Mega Man X like a Pokemon.

    My theory is that Metroid is actually Metroid Prime but after getting brain-washed by Mother Brain. You blast those green jellyfish, Metroid. You blast em to heck.

    Same guy, Ronald Metroid. If you want the full story, you need to play Mass Effect.

    I like that all of these could also be slotted in for marijuana strains. Mega Man X gives me anxiety while Mega Man doesn't, and Metroid Prime is good but not as mellow of a high as Metroid or even Metroid Fusion.

    In case this is a serious thought, they are different robots.

    Mega Man X is the 10th generation of Mega Man.

    Mega Man X is Mega Man after converting to Islam.

    Nope, I thought I had more of these. I'm out.

    All the Metroids are related, and then they merged with Bloodstained to create the Metroidvania.
