Although for a long time it seemed that 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 it’s time to celebrate the surprise launch of Metroid Prime Remastered for Nintendo Switch, and what better way than with the excellent fan art of Samus Aran What did Edwin Huang.
There is no doubt that Samus Aran is one of the most iconic female characters for 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 for video games and as proof we have the countless fan arts that emerge inspired by Metroid, like the one just presented by Edwin Huang this week.
In the Metroid video games, the character of Samus Aran spends almost all the time wearing the Power Suit that the Chozo inherited, but thanks to some alternative endings and especially to the Super Smash Bros. series, the version of Samus with her zero suit it has become very popular. This time we bring you a fan art by Edwin Huang that shows Samus Aran with her 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-looking Samus Aran, thanks to Edwin Huang’s fan art we can see what the popular bounty hunter looks like with an anime-like visual style. 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 outer space.
Edwin Huang or IronPinky shared his anime-style Samus Aran fan art this Monday, February 13, and in less than 24 hours it has reached more than 180,000 people, generating more than 13,000 reactions since then. As a Metroid fan I must say that Edwin Huang’s fan art is one of the best I’ve seen, so I couldn’t resist sharing it and I invite you to do the same if you think the same about this great fan art.
