First I'd like to say a hearty thank you and congratulations to everyone that contributed to Darren's epic 25th Anniversary video. It's possibly one of the greatest gaming-related fan tributes that's ever been done in history!

Those of you that have heard MHQ's special podcast, one which I took part in, you could hear me mention one of our new projects that's been in the works for quite some time. I originally wanted this project to be available to use by the 25th Anniversary, but due to unforseen events and happenings, this unfortunately did not come to pass. We are still working on the project though, and many artists are still involved. So far our total count is 18 artists, all talented members of the DeviantArt community.

I'm sure many of you already know somewhat about this project and have been curious about it for a while now, so I am going to give you guys a very small taste of what to expect:

The artwork in the above image was created by the very talented Deimos-Remus. (He has also created a very beautiful 25th anniversary tribute!) We will be adding every single enemy in the Metroid series to the Bestiary. For the main series, custom fanart is being created for each enemy, and for the Prime games, we will be having screenshots of the 3D models of the enemies. This is probably going to be one of the greatest and biggest features of the MDb, not to mention unparalleled by any other video game fan website on the internet. So please look forward to it! I assure you it will definitely be worth the wait!

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL! The Metroid fandom madness continues! There is an INSANELY LONG THREAD over at NeoGAF commemorating the Metroid 25th Anniversary. This thread is completely filled to the brim with the history of Metroid, custom fanart, and most of all: Metroid love.

If you don't want to miss any of the fan-only celebration, the folks at Metroid Wiki have started a comprehensive list of all the celebratory features found online.

While you're at it, if you're in a gaming mood, why don't you give MDbtroid a playthrough? ;) Stay tuned, as I'm sure this party's just getting started.
