I am fine with the suit having some augments that make things a bit easier, but I prefer the interpretation that Samus is partially ascended and it is her training by the Chozo that allows her to do all that stuff. The suit/upgrades act as focuses which make things easier, but if someone else were to put the suit on its just a bunch of metal. The Awkward Zombie explanation works the best.
I forget which one that was...

Samus is a strength/faith build; her power is partly her own prowess and partly zen kung fu monk magic. The suit is just to look cool, she shoots ki blasts out of her hand like Ryu from Street Fighter. The canon is just a tube.

I mean, when the x-ray scope in the prime games showed her hand inside the barrel making different gestures for the different shot types, I kind of figured that's the general idea. It obviously contributes somehow though, since she can't do it without the arm cannon or relevant beam parts (IIRC in NES Metroid 1 the justin bailey outfit is no power suit, but still wearing the arm cannon). Otherwise ZSS' moveset would be a lot more like something out of Street Fighter or even DBZ.
Speaking as someone who's not in the US, any way to get that metroid? (We actually do have gamestop here, but they don't appear to carry it.)
Edit: Is it the same as this one?
No, it's massive and it's called Ultraviolet Glow Metroid. That one there is the non-glow original. It should be at EB Games or whatever your national equivalent is. It's rare. They're going for around $100 on ebay.

I had read that they were limited to one per store.
I'm shocked that any employee didn't immediately buy it for themselves and put it on EBay...

They actually had two there, both with the same tear in the box actually. I picked the one that looked less dirty. You could tell people had been touching them.
Needless to say I washed it when I got home. Baby's first bath!
Edit: also they probably didn't know it's worth. Hell I didn't even know until I posted pics and people told me (after I had removed most of the internal packaging) and I sell toys officially for a living!

You'll be needing one of these, then. GameStop is gonna sell arm cannons.
After Halloween? Not great planning.
Naw that's fine, gives people 11 1/2 months to make the suit

Edit:
Funny thing, the box of the Metroid in the article below it has the same exact tear in the box that mine has.

Is this what's going to get me to go into an EB Games for the first time in years?

Norway? No way!
I can in no way condone this sort of rampant punnery.
Are you saying that it's Norway or the highway?
Give us a break. It’s Oslo news day.
A break? Why should anyone do that?
You need to Sweden the deal.

.... we really need some Metroid news.
Be patient,I'm sure you'll get Germany eventually.
And, yeah, any kind of news would be great.
The outlook on news is the Samus yesterday.
