SA-X was created before Dark Samus so I'd count it as her dark counterpart before Dark Samus, of course not in a timeline. Like Crash Bandicoot has Fake Crash and Evil Crash. Dark Samus' design is superior in Prime 1's cliffhanger, looking like the Phazon Suit came from Resident Evil 2 with that eye and design. MP3's redesign is pretty cool too with more armored look. Thanks for another awesome video! I'm still waiting to loan a Wii and his Prime trilogy so I could finally experience these, unless they're available on Switch? I might buy one just for Metroid and Bayonetta sequels.

Notice how dark samus’ hands look exactly like how they did in the ending of prime 1?

I don't know why, but I always like it when the planets are corrputed somehow. They just seem to make the planet's life forms (wether it is animal or vegetable, when some is left) more beautiful and stronger. A part of me cries when we destroy the darkness completely. When nothing of it is left. It seems like a return to weakness. Except when we fought the creature from the last game and the flower from "Metroid: Prime".

I really love this game, but it feels strange. After defeating Quadraxis and starting the fetch quest, the world feels way too empty. This is typical of Metroid games, since by the end of it every prior difficulty is made super easy to push over, but it feels particularly empty for this one. Maybe it's because of the dark Aether element, or the world design, but I'm not sure. I find the temple ground poorly designed overall, though the other maps are really well done for the most part. It may also have to do with the atmosphere the game creates, which is phenomenally creepy and shadowy, but it morphs into a strange feeling once the world is emptied because of Samus's power level by the end.

Also the seeker missiles and screw attack weren’t equipment samus lost from the ing but rather have their own backstories being that the seekers were A-kuls missile launcher and the screw attack being a gift from the chozo.

To address your points: Explaining the backstory of every single weapon is tedious and isn't an important part of the narrative at all. It would be unnecessary filler that doesn't contribute much to the overall lore of the Ing vs. Luminoth. Saying Samus is recovering weaponry is enough to get the point across. since the weapons are just gameplay elements. And the Ing that stole Samus' weapons absorbed them into their own being and were mutated by them, which is why they use Samus' abilities during the battles. And it's obvious from the context of the story that the Ing with their dark powers, are possessing beings.

The game's not THAT hard... barring the Boost Guardian being a massive difficulty spike with its Light Crystal-less room, minimal health drops dependent on it ramming into specific objects in the arena, and the lower amount of Energy Tanks you can have by that point compared to, say, Quadraxis, who also kinda craps out health drops at least during Phase 1. I also don't mind the Key quest since that's an excuse to backtrack and get more power-ups, but it would've been nice if it were paced like the Artifacts, starting early on in the game and opening up more as you progress, rather than mostly being placed at the endgame.
