Dataminer finds Metroid: Zero Mission Screenshots in Nintendo Switch Online (JP)
Twitter user @LuigiBlood has datamined a Nintendo Switch Online folder and found some Metroid: Zero Mission screenshots. The interesting part is that it appears that the GBA link service will be kept functional in its NSO GBA counterparts. Does this mean we will get the extra galleries & The Fusion Suit in Metroid Prime Remastered?!? Only time will tell. Again, this is all speculation based on some datamined screenshots but I have no doubt that Zero Mission is on its way, however, retaining the GBA link bonuses would be amazing!
Japanese GBA NSO 1.1.0 is interesting… they accidentally left these screenshots about link functionality in Metroid Fusion folder. pic.twitter.com/aJ0q3STmGt

You guys rock! Stellar work & dedication!
Confirmed: Metroid Dread Outsells every other Metroid Game. Metroid Prime 4 in 2022? Not Likely.
Metroid Dead reached 2.90 Million units sold according to Nintendo’s recently released financial report, making it the best-selling Metroid game in the franchise! Congrats to Nintendo, Mercury Steam and most importantly, to the fans, both old and new, for supporting the franchise! Let’s keep this momentum going!
Another interesting tidbit from the financial report is about Metroid Prime 4 with an expected (and not surprising) launch date of “TBA.” Considering that development was restarted in 2019 and staff-hirings have been ongoing, it is no big shocker that we are nowhere near an official release date.
Lets cross our fingers for some preview footage soon though!
Figma Announces Metroid Dread Samus Figure!

Samus & Joey Manga gets an Official [Japanese] eBook Release
The non-canon, Metroid-spinoff, manga, Samus & Joey, volumes 1-3 are now available in digital eBook format. They are still in Japanese-Only but they are also just a fraction of the price that the second hand market is asking for them. Also, with enough interest in these digital editions, the possibilities of a physical release for Samus & Joey EX (the final volume) increase. You can view a free sample of the eBook courtesy of Amazon Japan.
Samus & Joey’s illustrator and writer, Idzuki Kōji tweeted:
After 20 years, “Metroid Sam's & Joy”, a manga based on the Nintendo’s game Metroid, is finally back in e-book. If you're interested in “Metroid Dread”, released last year, you can see cool Samus.
Please have a look.#Metroid #SamusAran pic.twitter.com/KoMuaPnOJN— 出月こーじ (@moonup777) January 30, 2022
The Metroid Database has all volumes of the manga translated to english and available to read for free.
