This stuff is fantastic. Really makes me want to work on my artistic skills. Also interesting to note is the omega metroid in there. Did Retro want to do something after Super?

Came here to post this myself, actually, so I'd like to note that Mama Robotnik of NeoGaf found these. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=469944

He also discovered the Crocomire and Mother Brain concept art from Prime 3, Kraid and other Metroid Prime boss concept art, and the Metroid Prime 1.5 concept document, so he's certainly good at finding this stuff, thought I don't believe he's a member of any Metroid fansites.

Awesome Shit. Great find. Also:

Hmm. It really does look like Super Metroid was playable at some point.

Oh, that would have been amazing. I really need to buy that game again, but I feel my Wii may be on the way out. It looks like the site is a WIP, so maybe we'll see more in the near future.

Edit: Now that I really think about it, you would have had the series best games on one disc. I would have been exposed to both at the same time! Also, after looking at a lot of the concept art and that Metroid Prime 1.5 concept, Retro would have reall taken the series to a different place. I'm not sure if they were reigned in by Nintendo or the concepts were tossed for other reasons, but I love those guys and I can't wait to see where they go next.

Indeed, having Super Metroid on Metroid Prime would have been a really nice bonus. I think they should have went through with it. Probably would have boosted sales too, especially with those who were still skeptical about Prime.

Here's a pretty nice thread on NeoGAF tying things together and showing off some new content (at least, some of it I haven't seen before). He credits the MDb at the bottom since that's where a lot of the images came from. The Martin L'Heureux demo reel should not be missed!

Finally seeing the classic space pirate design with Andrew's touch in 3D and in more concepts is awesome.
