Looking for your Metroid fix in these quiet days? A pair of special features have arrived online and both are an absolute treat.
Rainfall Films, a media production company with ties to the film and television industry, has produced Metroid: The Sky Calls - a short live-action Metroid fan film depicting our favourite bounty hunter in action. In short, after watching the film, words fail me... This is absolutely amazing! It's utterly stunning - superb atmosphere, beautiful visuals and a sweet musical score to boot. I'm a terrible critic when it comes to these things, but rest assured - you're in a for a blast for the next 11 and a half minutes.
Want more? CapCom and Infinity's End at the Metroid Database have recently finished a five-year-long journey to bring a Japan-only manga to the western world. Metroid: Samus & Joey is a non-canon original story featuring the adventures of Joey - Samus' first disciple after she saves him from a vicious Space Pirate attack. If you enjoy reading manga this is essential reading!
Special thanks to CapCom and Infinity's End for painstakingly translating the manga!

Please be courteous and sensible in your posts, bad manners make the baby Metroid cry
I found it amazing as well!
Hopefully they will do more of these fan projects in the future, maybe make it into a full movie even...
