I dunno...
18-19 in Metroid
19-20 in Metroid 2
20-22 in Super Metroid
25-27 in Metroid Fusion
and I've never played Metroid Prime, so I don't know when it's set.

Personally, I'd add 10 years to each of those ages. She just seems too battle-hardened and experienced in Metroid, to be 18-19.

The chronolgical order of the stories go like this:
I.   Metroid / Zero Mission
II.  Metroid 2
III. Metroid Prime
IV.  Super Metroid
V.   Metroid Fusion

I'd say about:
I.   18
II.  19
III. 20
IV.  20
V.   21


Since Super Metroid is set almost directly after the end of Metroid II, she doesn't really age much from the time Metroid II ends to the time the Super Metroid begins.

Apophis, if you read the various Japanese Nintendo-sanctioned comics about the backstory, you'd know that she knew how to use the power suit since she was in her early 'teens

Yeah but that was still a bit in the past...

I'd say she stays in the range of 20-25 throughout the series. We can stretch things a bit in her universe.

I'd say 18 at the least and 25 or so for the most in the series.

I read from some site that she's supposed to be 28 in Metroid I. I'm not sure if that's true or not though, the guy could've made it up.

I think age with video game charaters is reversed.
Take Mario for example, he started as a 8 bit piece of nothing, now he's almost as real as he can get in Sunshine.
Of course this doesn't apply to cranky kong.

Anyway,

Metroid - 21
Metroid2 - 22
Prime - 23
Super - 23.3
Fusion - 25

Well.. She did graduate from the Space Police Academy, and I guess that takes some time.. Then she worked as a Bounty Hunter, and made herself a name that way before the first game.. I'd say 23 or something.

And no, she's not a machine, just a cyborg.

Orange Pastry: Metroid Prime takes place between Metroid and Metroid 2, not between 2 and Super. Besides, Super took placed right after 2.

Yeah, I think she's about 25 Years old. 'cause the experience she got with dealing with these things, and from the looks, she seems to be 25.

Maybe she's younger, because she grew up as a fighter and a bounty hounter.

And where did you get this information? I'm interested. Or did you just make it up?

I'd say that it would be anywhere between 20 and 30... That seems to be the average age of female characters in most games and movies...

And look at it this way:

Below 20, she would be inexperienced at combat

Above 30, signs of old age would start to show... With all that action, she might contract arthritis early...

So, I think it's gotta be between those ages .

What do you mean "Where did you get this from?"

The only place it came was from my head.

JaCory, Metroid Prime took after Metroid but before Metroid 2.
My Guess, well since all her missions followed immediately (not sure 'bout Zero Mission, *damn need it*) she stayed the same age.

If Samus is a cyborg, how is able to remove her suit. Damn, hardly nobody knows who's Samus Aran is, or what she is. :/
