I almost wish I wasn't a long time metroid fan, I find that scene ****ed up and I am fully aware of the situation, I can only imagine how weird that scene must be for someone that was just like "metroid other m, $5? I hear good things about this series, lets give this a try...", the game really doesn't tell you ANYTHING
but then I'd miss out on the weirdness of ridley being a furby, so I guess it's kind of a wash
