Oh, while we're still on Metroid, I'm actually writing a fanfiction that removes the sexism from Other M's story. Also, Samus didn't mysteriously shrink in this version like she did in Other M. She's supposed to be 6'3", but Other M had her at your average woman's height, with the suit bringing her up to 6'3". Thing is, her suit normally puts her at about six and a half feet tall.

Here's my source for her height:

That's from the Nintendo Power guide for Super Metroid.

Anyway, maybe that's what the next 2D Metroid will do.
