That she's actually a man

It can be a fresh new reboot character called Saman Aman.

And Nintendo should pay me for the privilege of using this idea.

just kidding Metroid is a dead franchise

It baffles me that Nintendo purposely kills their own multi million dollar franchises. They waste so much potential.

A new AAA Metroid game could reasonably come out at least every 4 years. Same with Star Fox and Pikmin. They could also do really well with F-Zero due to Captain Falcon's massive popularity from Super Smash Bros.

They do fairly well with Mario and Zelda. They have the opposite problem with Pokemon, where low quality games are released too frequently (although that's more the fault of Gamefreak and the Pokemon Company).

A quick Google search led me to her family name being of South American origin.

Then again, blue eyes, blonde hair, is already of form of diversity, remember, Metroid was made by Japanese developers.

Metroid doesn't sell for shit in Japan. It's not as popular as people want to think. I don't know how accurate they were but I saw some sales figures that the best selling Metroid still sold way less than some of their other franchises' worst sellers

Most of the Metroid games of the 00s have western devs. If you were saying I was wrong to call it one company then fair, but that's kinda beside the point

For the record, I want to stress that there are only five "real" Metroid games: Metroid 1, Super Metroid, Metroid Prime, the Metroid 2 Fan remake, and that Newgrounds game where you shoot Samus's clothes off

Only the Prime games have a western dev. Well, Samus Returns on 3DS was co-developed by Nintendo EPD and MercurySteam (spanish developer) but yeah. Everythig else is in Japan.

That said, Samus Returns came out 3 years ago and Prime 4 is in the works.
Not sure how Metroid is dead.

One Japanese parent, one non-Japanese parent.

"but not too foreign" is very common in Japanese media. Even a character just "having spent time abroad", can fulfil the preference.

My mistake here was trying to "well actually" a shitpost.

But since the question of why they don't make more Metroids comes up, that's what I think the reason is. If it's so West-focused that they pretty much don't even develop internally anymore, then it's not really surprising to me that there isn't a lot of internal push for it. And Nintendo isn't exactly known for doing things because fans want them

When did this become a thing? I thought they were always just called mixed. Am I going to have to remember this for my kids?(they're half Korean, half Mexican)
