Metroid Prime 3 French Commercial

In our commercials for Prime 3, we got “regular people” having a great time playing the game in an airport. The French commercials instead feature a beautiful Samus look-a-like playing the game alone in her trendy European living room. Which is a more effective means of advertising?

You can watch the French commercial below and judge for yourself.

    Just wondering, I wonder who decide to give Samus the hair bleach treatment. I mean she wasn’t blonde in the NES days…

    That’s a good question Billie.

    I actually remember Samus having green hair in the original game, and then purple hair in art for the Super Metroid guide.

    However, when you actually beat Super Metroid, Samus’ hair is blonde, and has been ever since.

    Personally, I’d love to see the green hair come back. Nothing against blondes, but that’s the look I’m most nostalgic for.

    Not to mention all the blonde Samus appearances from the Metroid commercials gone by.

    Yeah I remember the green hair as well. They should have kept it that way, makes her look more exotic hehe.
