The Zebeth name might have been a mistranslation due to the "th" phenome in Japanese sounding like the English phenome "s". The Localizers might have assumed it was supposed to be Zebeth rather than Zebes due to this. It's the same mixup that caused Aerith of Final Fantasy VII to be originally known as Aeris. When such words using the "th" sound are romanized, they are often written with an "s" rather than "th".

"th" sounds at the end of a word are one of the hardest things to romanize with Japanese, but it's agreed upon that the best and closest thing to use would be ス "Su". And "Su" is also just used for words that end with an S also. So I think some poor translator had to just stare at ゼベス "Zebesu" and just flip a coin on weather it meant "Zebes" or "Zebeth" because he had no direction. Lmao. Also this is funny because if your name is "Seth" your name becomes the silly sounding "Sesu" セス

I'm really thankful you're redoing a lotta the older series from back in the day because they truly deserve the vs treatment, but I also really respect you keeping your old content up to. The one thing that always bums me out is seeing creators privating their old content because well obviously like 10 year old videos aren't gonna meet the standard of your current ones, but those are your roots damnit and people should be proud of their evolution, not ashamed of it.

Other comments have already explained the Zebes/Zebeth thing, but I just wanted to bring up the fact that a similar case of confusion in the translation lead to the Barrier Suit mistakenly being called the Varia Suit. But in that case the mistranslation actually stuck. Kind of a happy accident, I think. Varia is a much better and more unique name.

After years of hearing about the development story of the original Metroid and Kid Icarus, I always figured Metroid would have been the much better game. Then I actually played the original games, and I think Kid Icarus actually turned out better. Metroid without maps or a proper way to heal is a real drag, and the way the ice beam was handled hurts. It really came into its own on the SNES, while Kid Icarus just got forgotten until it became the best Star Fox game 25 years later.

They probably meant "Metroid" as both the singular and plural in the game itself. You know, like fish. Or moose. And it's called the Screw Attack because you spin to do it. Spin attacks and rolls… do I see fast, colorful furballs in the distance? And starting your jumps from a standstill will keep them from drifting, making the escape climb a cakewalk.
