Bounty hunter Samus Aran has been spotted in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate/G on 3DS.

She is equipped with a ridiculously enormous arm cannon that fires equally enormous missiles, perfect for taking out giant dragons. If she takes significant damage, her Varia Suit disperses to reveal the Zero Suit.

Samus can wall jump and shoot in first person mode. She can also use other weapons, such as bows and swords, but obviously not the mythical "NARPAS SWORD"...

The materials required to craft the weapons and armor can be obtained by completing a special quest to defeat some kind of giant spider (shown in the video).

Interestingly, there will be some sort of promotional event run at 7-11 stores in Japan between December 28 and January 7. If you are in Japan, you can visit one of these stores to access the DLC and participate in a special quest (involving the giant spider) and obtain a Metroid-themed Guild Card and Title. This follows in the footsteps of the Animal Crossing promotional event as well as the Link and Sonic equipment.

Monster Hunter 4: Ultimate/G releases in Japan on October 14, with a US release scheduled for "sometime in 2015." No word yet on how the DLC will be implemented, but it's a pretty safe bet all of this will be included in the US version.
