True, but the original manual referred to Samus Aran as "he", and it was only as a reward for completing the game quickly (or, for us cheaters, using the JUSTIN BAILEY password) that you found out the truth.

This clearly means they should have had a white "male" bishonen as the main character (or keep "him" helmed at all times), and reveal later on that "he" was really a woman.
