{{Quote|''Yes, Samus calls Mother Brain simply Mother in the introduction, but I would not over-interpret this. I just felt that letting Samus shout "Mother!" instead of "Mother Brain!" would sound more natural. But when it comes to the baby, it's different. I didn't want Samus to think of it as Baby Metroid or anything like that – it's simply the baby. I also told the people localizing that they should stick with simply "baby" and not add anything. I put particular emphasis on the translated term having the same meaning as "baby".''|[[Yoshio Sakamoto]]|color=gray|size=300%}} | |||
*The quote "the baby", repeated ad nauseam throughout the opening of ''Other M'', became a meme within the ''Metroid'' fan community. Despite this, it is only uttered by Samus eleven times during the entire game. | |||
*''Other M'' is the first game ''and'' occurrence in English media where the Metroid is called "baby". It was previously called "baby" in Japanese media. It being called "Baby" in the localization was due to direct input from Yoshio Sakomoto, telling them that he wanted it simply called "the baby" and strictly telling them not to add anything else because it had the same connotations. However, during press events for ''Samus Returns'', Sakamoto referred to it as "the baby Metroid". | |||
*The only flashbacks in the series that refer to a previous game (Metroid 2) are those in the beginnings of ''[[Super Metroid]]'' and ''[[Metroid: Other M]]''. In both of these flashbacks, the Metroid hatchling is the main focus. | *The only flashbacks in the series that refer to a previous game (Metroid 2) are those in the beginnings of ''[[Super Metroid]]'' and ''[[Metroid: Other M]]''.

*Though the hatchling only appears in the prologue (when it gets snatched by Ridley) and ending of ''Super Metroid'' and the ending ''[[Metroid II: Return of Samus]]'', its importance carries on through ''Other M'' and ''Metroid Fusion'', meaning that its presence spans every game chronologically since ''Return of Samus''. | *Though the hatchling only appears in the prologue (when it gets snatched by Ridley) and ending of ''Super Metroid'' and the ending ''[[Metroid II: Return of Samus]]'', its importance carries on through ''Other M'' and ''Metroid Fusion'', meaning that its presence spans every game chronologically since ''Return of Samus''. | ||
