Uploaded a WHOLE bunch of new swag to the sections of Metroid, Super Metroid, Metroid Zero Mission, Metroid Prime Pinball, Metroid Prime Hunters, Metroid Prime, Prime 2, and Prime 3 (WHEW!). Some of this is from Yahoo Japan's Metroid Auctions which we've been monitoring on the forums, but some of it has come from dedicated collectors like Gumpei, like the cool pics of the Super Metroid standee and Metroid 1 guides! If you have access to some of the swag (particularly these two Japanese strategy guides for Metroid 1 as well as the Super Metroid Japanese guides) and a scanner, please contact us! We're REALLY interested in getting the never-before-seen artwork from these books for the site to share with the world!

The guys on the forum also located some cool new models from Nintendo Papercraft! Print out the free models (scroll down this page for some Metroid models) and fold them into fantastic figures! There's even a Gumpei Yokoi papercraft! We suggest you start with the simpler ones and work your way up!

Also, we are now up to 18 pages of fanart! (That's over 340 images!) This is in addition to the stuff in our DeviantArt favorites! The fanart by Misery's Crown is some really cool concept art from a 2D remake of Metroid Prime. Looks good, guys! It's up there with Andrew Jones' original work!

Oh yeah, some journalists got their hands on an early release of Metroid Prime Trilogy and have taken images of the case and all its goodies. They work for a website you might have heard of... Anyway, looks like the art booklet will contain a detailed timeline of the entire Prime trilogy. Steamlord from our forums was kind and diligent enough to transcribe the text on one page of the art booklet (scroll to the bottom post). It firmly places the date of Metroid Prime three years after the events of Metroid 1. Thanks, Steamlord!

Until next time...
