$10 says Feds cloned "the baby" and that's whats behind the distress signal.
$5 more: Samus ends up killing it
$10 more: she's "linked" to the clone because "the baby" fused/infected her when it died and gave her hyperbeam
$5 says Samus is directly responsible for Adam's death
$20 says some version of Ridley appears
In betting you're supposed to put down less money for more probable things, not more. Anyway, the majority of your things are debunked by the fact that Metroid Fusion exists and unless they're going to do some major retconning those things just plain don't happen.
Also, from context it's pretty clear that "baby's cry" is a nickname for the standard alert that she's recieving, not a literal baby's cry.

I know not a literal baby's cry. The hatchling was clone, the researchers did SCIENCE on it. Shit went bad. Baby's cry signal got sent.
Also, I don't remember much of Fusion's plot just a few of the end bosses and X virus.
I think we can be fans of a game and still think the story is dumb.
I doubt it will top the majesty of Bionic Commando.
I don't think anything can top the stupid of the new Bionic Commando.
Unless someone makes a film adaptation of Bionic Commando and then follows it up by making a video game version out of the movie. Then you will have achieved ULTIMATE STUPID.
I like how they are keeping continuity and that live action commercial is brilliant.
Kinda gives Metroid Fusion and the Prime Series the middle finger, though. Not a single allusion to any of that anywhere.
I suppose the game could end on a lead-in to Metroid Fusion... but I doubt it, not if they have sequels in mind like they did with the Prime games.
Prime as a series supposedly happens between 1 and 2 so Other M could have as many sequels as it wants in it's own vague as hell timeframe and never have to worry about fusion.

I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.
I don't really see excluding the Prime games from the recap as dissmissing them necessarily. They're a fairly self contained trilogy and not much of what happens in them has any bearing on later games at all. It would be a waste of time to have the voice actor go "and then I met Ridley and this big damn Metroid on this planet where an asteroid crashed, killed 'em, releasing an evil goo that made a clone of me. Which I also killed. Moving on, I..."
Also the recap left out that time she competed against other bounty hunters for the ultimate weapon which was actually a trap, and that time the events of Metroid Prime happened again except she rolled around in morph ball almost the whole time, and the couple of times she was invited to a big interdimensional fighting contest.
They also left out the part where she was looking for a sperm donor since she really wanted a baby because she felt her biological clock was almost up.

Super Metroid is now and forever ruined for me, since its intro doesn't reference the Prime trilogy.
Also, I think that more attention needs to be paid to the time she teamed up with Pikachu to get her Power Suit back from the Ancients.

Ah, NES Tetris. I play the cello and I like Metroid. True story.

To be honest, I've seen interviews with the main Metroid team where they've been asked about the Prime games and in general they always seemed to give sort of a "yes they are canon but we really don't give a shit about them" type of response (in so many words :P)
It really doesn't surprise me they were left off. I think it's kind of like how much Nintendo acknowledges the Capcom Zelda games (i.e. not at all)

Which is really sad, because it's not like the Prime games weren't awesome fucking games
I guess it would be one thing if they were steaming piles of shit, so the main Metroid team wants to ignore them. But to ignore three incredibly high quality games that carried the series for several years just seems...dumb.

Does it matter? Other M is a follow up/fall out from the story of Super Metroid. There is no need to mention the Prime games, which had their own three part, self contained story.
I can enjoy them all fine without them all constantly mentioning each other.

I get the feeling this game is going to be a touch bipolar in that Samus is going to be all mushy and emotional in cutscenes and during the game proper she will be a space pirate slaughtering bad ass.

Kind of like Batman? He's a badass that secretly can't get over losing mommy and daddy.
Even if you don't like the story, everything else about the game screams quality Metroid experience. Most of the major outlets have said that the gameplay is superb. Some have said it takes a bit to get used to, but that is true with most games out there.
And the new Samus suit looks like some kind of cheap happy meal version.
All I ever got was a cheap Super Mario Bros toy. But I was crazy about Mario when I was a kid, so I went nuts for it. To think, had I gone a different week I could have been saving the goddamn universe.

She's trying a bit too hard, you can just hear the cameraman telling her to work it and she's like WA-CHOW, WA-CHOW!

Turns out that a lot of the same people were involved in the creation of both of them

...dammit, I only wanted the text to appear. Is there no way to do that for YouTube videos any more?
Like Mega Man Legends? Then check out my story, Legends of the Halcyon Era - An Adventure in the World of Mega Man Legends on TMMN and AO3!

"...only mights and maybes."
"Hey Aran, have you ever been mistaken for man?"
"Yes, actually."
Why wouldn't it be?
