Once again, The Speed Gamers are holding a three day marathon starting today, covering most of the games in the Metroid franchise. The team will start today at 6pm CST, and will play until May 9th. The team hopes to raise money for The Civic Force, to support the Japanese tsunami relief.

BUT! That's not all...

The second charity (and Metroid) news comes in the form of our favorite Samus cosplayer, Yukilefay. She is going to be featured in the 2012 Cosplay for a Cause Calendar! This calendar features many famous cosplayers, in their fantastic costumes which derive from anime or video games. Proceeds will also go to support the Japanese tsunami relief. Yuki will be in her previously-unseen Zero Suit Samus costume, so be sure to pick up what is to be a really awesome calendar! It's so awesome to see so many selfless acts as gamers and geeks around the globe come together and give their support to something great.
