Handy Super Metroid Map!

Click on the picture to make Samus sized!

Wow, no Saturday Supercade post last weekend? I leave the Victory Pellet Vault for one day to attend this year's VillainCon, assuming my loyal henchman can take care of things and look what happens! Worldhive computers have become infected by some kind of phishing virus, the Radium reactors almost melt down...and Paraguay has somehow been linked to my Facebook page. Sigh. The burdens we must bear.

However at least I can count on the brilliant minds over at Brawlinthefamily.com to give me a helping hand today. Here for your enjoyment is an easy to follow guide to Super Metroid on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Enjoy!

Raid On Alamut - Harry Gregson-Williams

Box Art Wednesday Interrupted for...

...Super Mario Bros. Crossover! A big thanks to the awesome Retroist, more than usual that is, for finding this absolutely killer game. The creator of this title, Jay Pavlina, apparently worked for over a year on creating this beautiful flash game and the love he has for the NES is quite apparent from spending a few minutes playing his first ever offered title.

Beside the mustachioed plumber you can also choose the vampire slaying Simon Belmont, the intergalactic bounty hunter Samus Aran, the jungle fighter turned alien slayer Bill R., the mega-awesome Mega Man, and the Hero of Hyrule, Link. These brave companions have sworn to set out and rescue Princess Peach from the villainous clutches of Bowser.

This isn't a simple mash-up, the music for the game changes for each character, the music from their own titles. Each character brings with them some of their special abilities, like Simon's axe throwing, or Samus's bomb drop.

I can only hope that Nintendo, Konami, and Capcom see what a wonderful piece of work has been given to the masses this day. Take a moment to play and I think you'll agree this is worth its weight in Koopa shells.

Thanks to Wired for the picture above.
