Wow I never made the connection with Evangelion! Now that I think about it the Varia suit is very similar to Asuka's EVA!
Ohh you're right! I feel like Evangelion has influenced a lot of Japanese media
In this case maybe it's the other way around since Super Metroid predates NGE 1 year! Also there were concept arts circulating since the first Metroid in 1986. Who knows..
I suppose it's a combination of things! Assumedly both were inspired by earlier mech anime and 80s sci-fi design
