Omar and Mau Mora of TheForceMedia.com have created a 100% free, awesome little 15-page fancomic of our favorite series. In it, Samus goes on a quick little adventure with her baby Metroid and together they get into some trouble. Y’all have made an amazing piece of work, here! If only we could get a real official, serialized Metroid comic…sigh.

Happy 1 year anniversary to Metroid Dread! I suggest you celebrate by playing the game. Maybe give Boss Rush a go?

The Dread Figma is now available to preorder. It’ll set you back about $100 after you add in shipping costs. The cost to preorder is a penny shy of $87.
And now, the heartbreaking news: Release date is October/November, 2023.
In regards to the action figure’s accessories, it will come with a standard Figma stand, Morph Ball, Omega Cannon, 2 additional hands, and a Spider Magnet. The Spider Magnet seems to have a hand and foot attached to it permanetly, so you’ll need to remove her foot and hand in order to attach her to it. I hope the underside of the Spider Magnet is actually magnetic; I know a lot of folks who want to hang Dread Samus on their fridge.
Enjoy the pics!
Nintendo Switch Online subscribers are being treated to Wave 4 of Classic NES icons. This final wave has 5 (yes, five!) Classic NES Metroid icons to decorate your profile with. They’ll set you back 10 platinum points each, but these points are a breeze to aquire doing simple Nintendo Missions.
Wave 4 of the Classic NES icons will only be available until October 3 at 6 PM PT / 9 PM ET
Make sure you secure yours, hunters!
During a livestream on the Japanese-only MaxFactory YouTube channel yesterday, they announced the preorder date for new Samus Aran Metroid Dread version Figma that all of us have been drooling over this past year: Tuesday, September 27th. We can see that she’ll come packaged with her special Omega Cannon which I am extremely happy about. I hope she does come with a few more accessories this time around, too.
Please note these images are screengrabs from a YouTube video.
You can watch the original stream here. (If the jump doesn’t work, the announcement happens at ~1:10:14)
As for exactly where to preorder, since it hasn’t been exactly revealed when the product will be released in the west, you’ll need to go through a Japanese figurine exporter. Personally I like to use Amiami, but there are many others like Hobby-Genki or Anime Export. I can’t recommend one over the other – you’ll need to shop around on your own!
Like all of you, I can’t wait to get this incredible figure in my hands.
We have teamed up with The Pixelized Princess To bring you a new product you can’t get anywhere else: the Fusion Hunter Pixel Desk Ornament.
The ornament is free standing, and features a pixel-perfect printed graphic, with both a front and a back side. The stand is based on the Space Hunter’s favorite order-commanding A.I. computer.
Order yours today!

Long overdue, but better late than never, I’ve just added the maps to all the areas from Dread. You can view the entire world map (linked below) or view each area individually on our maps page. I hope you enjoy as these are some of the best maps out there.

As usual, they were created by one of the best and most passionate Metroid cartographers in the world, Daniel Dubreuil, which offers his own site, Metroid Map Station.

9 years ago, the Kickstarter for a Metroidvania with infinite potential arrived. Now, we FINALLY have a release date: November 3, 2022.
So happy that Ghost Song is coming out after all these years. Congrats to Matt White & his team on what looks to be the best Metroidvania released this year and might be a better game than Hollow Knight. I truly hope it wins some awards.
Dion, a hobbyist sculptor living in central Texas, was kind enough to allow me to visit his home and take photos of this beautiful Queen sculpture he made. Inspired by both Other M and Samus Returns, Dion recongized the lack of an official Queen statue, so he created his own.
The Queen features a light-up morph ball within its belly, representing when Samus Power Bombs it in the epic battle within both Metroid Samus Returns and Metroid Other M. The lower jaw also opens and closes. Dion also sculpted Samus’s classic gunship and mounted it on a Starlink controller chassy. Until some modder comes along, it’s the only way we’ll ever get Samus into Starlink!
Enjoy the gallery of this awesome creation!
Once agan I’d like to thank Dion for his generosity in allowing me to view his artwork. Dion goes by @ninsonyfan on Twitter.
