“Samus Aran, 16 years old is lost and confused; Raised by the Chozo on the alien planet, Zebes, she has learned much about their ways and realizes how indebted she is to their race for taking her in as an orphaned child. However, despite their kindness and hospitality she cannot shrug off the insistent urge to understand who she is, and discover who was responsible for the death of her parents and homeland colony, K-2L.
Remarkably, as she wanders around one day outside the village she is found by Federation Policeman who are on a routine patrol. Tempted to return back to the human world, she decides to bid farewell to the Chozo and attain the answers she’s been searching for her entire life. But when she learns that renegade space pirates were the cause of her childhood trauma she joins the ranks of the Federation Police to fight back. Though, while she is away, the pirates hit the Chozo with everything they have, annihilating their way of life .
Samus, now filled with both regret and revenge, sets off for Zebes to find what is left of the planet she called home…”
What you just read was in no way official, or even off a press release – it was just my theory on what I believe Other M is. The tone of the game’s official website itself speaks to me tragedy mixed with an origin story. Who is Samus really?
