QUESTION :
So Dark Samus is the hand we see in the cutscene after the ending credits?
ANSWER :
Yes. For those who have not yet seen “the hand”, please play Metroid Prime 1 first. You’ll only be able to see it if you achieve 100% items however…

QUESTION :
How did Dark Samus come from Tallon IV to Aether? Also, despite their scientific achievements such as the defense system, a totally mechanized fortress, and Quadraxis, why could Luminoth not predict the arrival of the meteorite? If it had been predicted, what about destroying it or at least breaking it into smaller pieces?
ANSWER :
Dark Samus has the ability to “short range” warp and used this to move to Aether. The Luminoth do not have forecasting capabilities, so they were unable to predict the fall of the meteorite. The meteorite’s destructive power exhausted the Luminoth’s power and won.

QUESTION :
As the series progressed I noticed that Samus has always been a loner. Maybe more like a lone wolf, but she’s also fine with occasionally having help it seems. Anyways, are there any plans to turn the Metroid series into a book series? I would love to read it.
ANSWER :
Her privacy is shrouded in mystery so… As for a book series, there are unfortunately no current plans to do so, I think.

I have again great things to say [about Metroid Prime 2]. The details to the settings are amazing… Anyway, as for my question: Metroid Prime 2 comes after Metroid Prime 1, correct? And, since the Space Pirates are also present… does this mean that Ridley will be back, too?

QUESTION :
Where had the Luminoth who appeared in the ending been throughout the game? Hadn’t they all been eliminated, besides U-Mos?

Look closely in the Luminoth Temple’s Golden Slumber [Temple Sanctuary] room, at the walls. You’ll be able to see many Luminoth hibernating within.

QUESTION :
When Metroid Prime 1 was released, it took 3 months after the American release for a release in Japan, but with Metroid Prime 2 it doubled to almost half a year. Why has the gap between the two widened so much? What other differences are there besides subtitles, like in Metroid Prime 1? Why is it that the subtitles come from the American version first?
ANSWER :
The development happened ahead of time, but the release schedule is the reason why the gap widened. There were a few changes like that of the Grapple Guardian included. Subtitles were also a consideration.
