Samus is a bounty hunter like Mitt Romney is a corporate raider. They've moved on to bigger things now.

I figured she was contracted by the Galactic Federation. Like she's such a good bounty hunter that they pay her top dollar to carry out missions for them. And that she still bounty hunts in between games.

From what I've heard, Metroid Prime 3 was supposed to be more open-ended and have optional bounty-hunting missions, but Nintendo rejected that idea because they don't understand the concept of a bounty hunter.

No idea if that's actually true, though.

What is this, some kind of joke?!
Go, then. There are other worlds than these.

That would be hilarious, though.

Come to think of it, consider the other "Bounty Hunters" in Metroid Prime: Hunters.

I don't think any of them were actually Bounty Hunters.

A Metroid game with a world ala TES.

That'd be amazing.

Samus saves entire planets out of the kindness of her heart and strength of her womanhood. She's above money.

Maybe the term "bounty hunter" has expanded in the future to mean "dude who goes around doing dangerous stuff."

Just sayin'.

technically the ship you have in Metroid Fusion is the "bounty" for carrying out the mission you're doing at the space lab

though that's still not really bounty hunting in the sense we usually think of it

"Greatest bounty hunter" just means that she's already super rich and doesn't need any more money. The only reason she does all these missions is because she's in love with that dead captain guy, or maybe because she keeps losing all her items and figures exploring whatever planet she is currently at will get all her abilities back.

Don't give Nintendo ideas, god damn.

They will seriously write this into canon next game if they read that.

Man, why can't Samus actually collect bounties? F***ing Pokemon characters can collect bounties in the Mystery Dungeon games, but not her.

I kinda thought it was implied that you were getting paid to take out the space pirates on zebes, eliminate the metroids on sr388, etc. Like she was being contracted by the GF.

The actual reason Samus does all these missions is because of some Chozo prophecy bull**** where she's the galaxy's protector. <_<

For real. I think maybe Pikachu is actually the Greatest Bounty Hunter in the Galaxy.

This is what I've always thought, too. And Prime 3 should play into it with those other bounty hunters, only we never actually see anyone even mention getting paid. They just strap 'em with Phazon-whatevers and send 'em out on a mission.

I think we've just thought about this a lot more than anyone who's ever worked on Metroid has.

It's already canon, since Fusion. Do you really think she would've listened to that computer and saved that space station if it didn't remind her of Adam? If not for the computer, she probably would've just blown up the space station and ran off with her new space ship.

Maybe Metroid, Star Fox and F-Zero all take place in the same universe. That would be pretty rad.

There's a difference between following orders during a mission because the AI reminds you of an old friend/mentor, and taking the missions in the first place because you were in love with some guy who's dead now. The first is sort of understandable, but the second is just terrible.

Fox and Falco did become F-Zero racers in that one ending for the DS game.

It was definitely implied that way in the early games. I'm sure they didn't want to waste any time on a NES cartridge actually showing a scene with Samus negotiating a contract with the GF. The series has never been exactly heavily focused on plot, so why bother with a boring detail like that. And showing her getting paid afterward would be a silly, anti-climatic move that would detract from the ending.

What is up with Nintendo and having bounty hunter characters who don't actually bounty hunt?
