| ^^ Yeah, but he was clearly insane, and continued to argue that Zebes didn't blow up in Super Metroid. He said it was "reforming". How you could possibly "reform" a planet without blowing it up in the first place is anyone's guess. He seemed to have missed the point where it takes millions of years for a planet to form.
Samus has changed a lot from game to game, each time in subtler ways. Her face and her persona beneath the suit was never important - it's not representative of her. If they made a decision based on a whim to change her appearance, I honestly just think it was a difference in artists. You're right in that the yellow probably shouldn't have mattered, if they wanted to make her blonde. The real question is still who wanted her blonde, when the artist for the first game made her a brunette.
ML (Horsehead) has a good point in that Link's hair was actually pink in LttP as the result of a glitch that was apparent only after manufacturing had begun.
None of us can know for sure why Kirby's color was different on the boxart for the different countries, but I've read that it was because of miscommunication. I think we've all seen how often people can screw up colors in printed products - I was born in the 80's, afterall. |
