Heart Monitor

The "Heart Monitor" is an unnamed feature that was scrapped from Metroid Fusion, seen throughout the E3 2002 trailer.E3 Metroid Fusion trailer on Nintendo.com It was represented as a small electrocardiographic circle on the screen that would vibrate whenever X Parasites were nearby; however, it does not react in the presence of Arachnus or SA-X. Why it was scrapped is unknown. Since it seemingly tracks X, it is similar to the motion tracker used to detect the Xenomorph creatures of the Alien films which inspired Metroid (with a similar function eventually being used for Metroid: Samus Returns). Alternatively, it could have been a decibel meter that would measure the amount of noise Samus was making; such a feature would be used many years later in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
