Today may be Metroid's 29th birthday in Japan, but Platinumfungi is hosting this big Metroid event on the game's US birthday on the 15th. He is giving away tons of awesome Metroid prizes, including:

Wearable cosplay Power Suit helmet

Wearable cosplay arm cannon

Boxed copy of Metroid for NES

Metroid hatchling in containment jar art sculpture

2D Metroid pixel art wall hanging

Hand drawn map of the entire game world

More secrets than you can shake a Chozo statue at

Here's some more details of the event:

This event goes far beyond just me though. I'm gathering creative allies to post content and help make the event that much more meaningful. Artists, cosplayers, musicians, and diy'ers are joining in, and some will also be giving away cool Metroid merch.

Beyond all of that, I'm asking fans around the world to join in the fun and post their favorite Metroid memories, photos, videos, and more on social media on the 15th with the hashtag #metroidcelebration.

My intent with this event is to create a unique new experience for the retro gaming community. I hope to create something special that the fans enjoy and remember for some time to come.

Let's all party like it's 1986!

Until next time...
Captain Commando
