Samus Aran, the heavily armored bounty hunter in Nintendo’s “Metroid” series, is a fearless warrior who will take on anyone and anything that gets in the way.
While there are lots of classic moments in the original “Metroid” game, the biggest shock comes at the end of the game: Samus takes off her helmet and reveals that she’s a woman, a fierce warrior that just happens to be a member of the fairer sex.
Back in the day, that revelation shocked the gaming community. Up until then it was generally assumed that the soldiers in video games were men. And in one swift helmet removal, that all changed – for the better.
