Although for a long time it seemed like the Metroid franchise was going to be forgotten by Nintendo, currently fans of metroid They have no reason to complain, because after the announcement of Metroid Prime 4 and the launch of Metroid Dread, now is the time to celebrate the surprise launch of Metroid Prime Remastered for Nintendo Switch, and what better than with the excellent fan art of samus aran who did Edwin Huang.
There is no doubt that Samus Aran is one of the most iconic female characters in the video game industry, since she has been around since 1986 and since then she has been a powerful space bounty hunter, leaving behind the cliché of the damsel in distress. Samus Aran continues to be an icon of video games and as proof we have the countless Metroid-inspired fan art, like the one just presented by Edwin Huang this week.
In the Metroid video games, the character of Samus Aran spends almost all of her time wearing the Power Suit that the Chozo inherited, but thanks to a few alternate endings and notably the Super Smash Bros. series, the version of Samus with her zero suitable for him has become very popular. This time we bring you a fan art by Edwin Huang that shows Samus Aran with his zero suit under a disassembled Power Suit, with a spectacular result.
Although the recently released Metroid Prime Remaster for Nintendo Switch shows us a much more realistic Samus Aran, thanks to fan art by Edwin Huang we can see what the popular bounty hunter looks like with a visual style similar to that of a anime. This style gives us an idea of what an anime adaptation of Metroid might look like, which will have to be full of action in space.
Edwin Huang or IronPinky shared his anime-style Samus Aran fan art this Monday, February 13, and in less than 24 hours, it reached over 180,000 people, generating over 13,000 reactions since then. As a Metroid fan, I have to say Edwin Huang’s fan art is some of the best I’ve seen, so I couldn’t resist sharing it and I invite you to do some even if you think the same of this great fan art.
