Acharam o título esquisito? Então vejam por vocês mesmos, direto do Metroid-Database:

Sakamoto: However, before that, the game was called Space Hunter.

Osawa: Samus is a “bounty hunter”, or perhaps I should say a little before she was created, she was a “space hunter”. Wasn’t “space hunter” written [to describe her] in the instruction manual?* I mean space warrior.

*Yes. -Ed.

Sakamoto: There wasn’t enough time to correct it as “bounty hunter” [in the manual]?

Osawa: Yes, if I remember correctly.

Well, although it didn’t come out at the conclusion of the last interview, with regards to the naming of Samus Aran, it might have been a reference to the real name of Pelé, the god of soccer…

Kiyotake: Ah ha ha ha! That’s right. Even the name of the protagonist could be put together in this manner, and if I wanted to give someone a strange name, I could refer to Pelé’s name. However, I could be mistaken…

I want to know if we’re mistaken! (Laughs)

Sakamoto: Kiyotake, If you check if Pelé’s real name was “Samus Arantes”, that’s a little incorrect. He’s called “Something” Arantes Nascimento*, and only “Aran” matches. (Laughs)

Wei..WHAAT? Então quer dizer que o nome da Samus Aran veio do Pelé, ou se prefirirem “Something Arantes do Nascimento”? Essa foi boa. Vivendo e aprendendo. Mas o que o rei do futebol teria a dizer sobre isso?

Boa semana a todos. Até o próximo post.
