E3 2009: Is Team Ninja Planning to Sex Samus Up?

Once people picked up their jaws from the floor following Nintendo's big reveal of their collaboration with Team Ninja, Metroid: Other M, concern soon set in. After all, Team Ninja, while great developers, are rather well know for their-- to put it nicely-- exhibitive admiration of the female body. Is it really wise to put one of gaming's most beloved and strongest perceived female protagonists into their open hands? Fortunately, Yosuke Hayashi, the new boss of Team Ninja following the departure of Tomonobu Itagaki, offers his assurance that there is no cause for alarm; they're going to make sure Samus stays a classy lady. "Every female character in our games is as attractive as possible, both inside and out," Hayashi told Kotaku. "There has to be something attractive." "But as long as we provide that in the one place - the inside - that's what's important with this game." Well said. [Image Credit (via Kotaku)] (link)
