We’ve got a newMetroidcoming up this year, and lately, Nintendo has beenreminiscingabout the whole storied series to get everyone in that lone hunter state of mind again. As neat as it is todig back into the Chozo lore, above all, I’m here for some sick artwork.
Today wasthe day, as Nintendosharedseveral pieces of high-resSuper Metroidart including Samus, her Gunship, Ridley, and Kraid. I’m sure you’ve seen some if not all of this familiar imagery before, but probably not with this enhanced level of detail.
Either way, it’sSuper Metroid— any chance to bring it up is fine by me.
After zooming in to appreciate the minor details in Kraid’s nasty belly and Ridley’s twisted tongue, I feel like I’m fresh out of the optometrist’s office with new lenses. It’s all so clear. This transports me back to theNintendo Powerdays, for sure. I miss those posters!
To extend this little wave of nostalgia while we wait forMetroidDread, especially if you’re thinking of aSuper Metroidreplay,flip throughthis upload of the Player’s Guide when you’ve got some time — it’s worth a look just for purple-haired Samus. I would’ve missed a bunch of tips, tricks, techniques, and honest-to-goodness secrets without it (and eventually the internet) as a resource. I’m sure there’s still plenty left for me to discover.
