I think Leela is more likely to be Lara Croft if anything, but Leela as Samus would be awesome. But then again Futurama does mix stock shout outs from Star Wars or Star Trek with extremely obscure ones, and Metroid seems to be in the middle. I imagine Amy is probably going to be Princess Zelda in a short skirt, or Peach, if they are going to have her be an iconic female character in each segment, rather then just two. I wouldn't expect many video game references past 1990.
Metroid was released in 1986 (bold by FOA).
I think the video game segment will be mostly retro game stuff, though. Overclockwise seems to be where they're going to do some more modern video-game stuff (COD-esque games and the whole online gaming world, I bet).
"I'm well aware of that." I was talking about the idea of Amy as Lara Croft. She seems too recent and relatively obscure a reference for the show to go after. I agree that the game section will stick to the stuff the average viewer will remember (Mario, Duck Hunt, Mega Man), the late 80's-early 90's console games (since Arcade's were covered in AOI II and the most recent games haven't proved timeless yet). I also think that they probably will focus on a specific type of game (platformer being the most likely) and base the characters around that game type to focus the story and jokes, which is why I don't think the characters will all be dressed as famous game characters. The other two parodies seem to focus on a specific type of parody (Giant Robot Anime and Fleisher Cartoon) so it suggests the game section will follow suit (otherwise it would be disjointed).
