3:45:23you literally took care of it for a while
3:45:23yeah the intro to this one summarises it neatly
3:45:24I mean, the beginning of the game gives you everything you need to know
3:45:24Because you rescued it from the pound
3:45:24metroid lore kinda sucks lol it was better back when there was very little published info
3:45:26Guess you'll have to play Metroid 2 Samus Returns
3:45:27Samus found it after it hatched
3:45:27You can play Zero Mission and Samus returns, they're remakes of Metroid 1 and 2
3:45:28because it bonded to you when it was born
3:45:29to be fair, there's not a *whole* lot of lore en these older games. It gets more elaborate in sequels
3:45:30Because it hatched in front of Samus and it thinks she's the mother
3:45:30because it thinks you are his mom
3:45:32but yeah AM2R is pretty good
3:45:37It also shows it at the beginning of the game
3:45:39But if you want to play the preceding games: you can play Zero Mission (GBA Remake of the first game), then Metroid II: Return of Samus.
3:45:42it thinks ur it's mom since it saw u after its birth
3:45:44Samus hartched it on the second
3:45:44terminalmontage's animations explain all you need to know
3:45:45fusion and dread rule from a lore perspective
3:45:45You'll like them they're fun
3:45:47you killed its mother but now it thinks you are its mother
