MDb news since 1996.
For the current issue of Nintendo Power (278), the staff listed their picks for the top 10 GBA games of all time to mark the GBA's 10th Anniversary, and Metroid cleared the way with both the Number 9 position (Metroid Fusion) and the Number 1 spot (Metroid Zero Mission), beating out Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow for the top slot. No other series had more than two entries, making the GBA a platform of choice for the galaxy's toughest bounty hunter and a fitting award for the series' 25th Anniversary. Now THAT'S the quality the series is known for! Other top titles included The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, Wario Ware: Mini Microgame$, and Astro Boy: Omega Factor (as well as a list of the top 10 ports).
I've also got a scan here from Issue 277, which features the cosplay work of Jenni Källberg, aka Pixelninja, the Swedish cosplayer extraordinaire who showed us what must be the absolute best cosplay of Samus Aran ever produced. Glad to see you're getting some extra coverage, Jenni!
Until next time...
