Wii Warm Up: All things Metroid
And so Metroid Week comes to an end. For those of you who picked it up, how far along are you now? How are the controls treating you? The difficulty? For us, exploring has really been the only thing we've had a little trouble with -- sometimes it takes a bit to find what we're looking for -- but we ...
Metroid Week: Judge a Metroid by its cover (part two)
Continuing our romp through the Metroid series's boxart history, we're ending today with a look at covers from Samus's prime installments on both handhelds and consoles. We've also thrown in the packaging designs from the NES Classics releases which we neglected to include yesterday, though none of...
Friday Video: Oh no you're not
This is it. This is why odd little events like Metroid week are so great. Not only do we get to wallow in all things Metroid, but as the week winds down, we get to celebrate with a great little song and video from Uncle Monsterface about one of gaming's biggest revelations. Let's take a little trip ...
Wii Warm Up: Has Metroid set the standard?
We're willing to go on record stating the Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is about the best thing we've slipped into our Wii so far. Wii Sports was a great introduction to the console, and certainly made great use of the motion controls, but we have to go with the richer, fuller experience the latest ...
Metroid Week: Judge a Metroid by its cover
You know how much we love to discuss boxart here at Wii Fanboy, so it seemed obvious to us that we should take a look back at past Metroid covers during our commemorative week. We've gathered up all the packaging art we could find from Samus's tenderfoot days on the NES to her later outings on th...
Virtually Overlooked: Zillion
Welcome to our weekly feature, Virtually Overlooked, wherein we talk about games that aren't on the Virtual Console yet, but should be. Call it a retro-speculative. Metroid Week leaves us in kind of a tight spot in terms of Virtually Overlooked content. We at the Virtually Overlooked Research Center...
Metroid Week: Legotroid
Things in the Metroid universe can be pretty scary. When you roll (sometimes literally) as Samus Aran, you roll through danger, but such is the life of a bounty hunter. But hey, it doesn't all have to be sinister and piratey; even all things Metroid can be turned into something cute; as they say, ...
Wii Warm Up: The best and the worst
Are you playing Metroid? If so, then by now, there's surely something you like about the game. We want to know what you think the very best part of the game is so far ... and if you have complaints, we want to hear those, too. Overall, we've found the controls to be amazingly smooth (though the wa...
Metroid Week: A browser game mash-up
The culture of gaming (and especially comics) is chock full of hypothetical battles, often ending in heated geek debate. And this browser game is no different. But, seeing as how we're celebrating something here this week, we felt compelled to share this game with you. The controls aren't the best...
Wii Warm Up: How many hours have you sunk in so far?
The game released yesterday. You picked it up. We picked it up. Everyone is happy. But, without stating any spoilers, we'd like to know how far along you are. How many hours have you put into the game already? How much fun have you had with it so far?...
