It’s finally finished and washed! Metroid Fusion was my first Metroid game and the Dachora and Etecoons are my favourite little guys from that game. I don’t generally enjoy horror, so young me really appreciated the cute, cuddly, friendly creatures breaking up the almost nonstop fear that game evokes. So what better way to commemorate these special friends than to make a lil 5 cm patch on my favourite shorts and embroider them onto it? If I was doing it all over again, I’d probably make the background more grey and less green so the Dachora would pop out more. The text above the patch is the name of the piece, “Save the Animals.” This is of course a reference to the speed running community’s famous phrase referring to the rescue of these same creatures at the end of the previous game, Super Metroid, which I haven’t yet had a chance to really play (I will very soon though).

Photos of the process as well as the screen cap it’s based on below the cut.

I went back to replay and complete Fusion earlier this year which is what inspired me to make this in the first place. Since then, I’ve also played & finished (not completed) Metroid: Zero Mission thanks to Nintendo Switch Online. Additionally, I have obtained and begun Samus Returns, the Metroid II remake. Now that this is finished, I’ll be playing Samus Returns a lot more so that I can move on to Super Metroid someday.

Hmm. Do I play it on the CRT today, or do I play it portable so I can sit on the couch while Star Trek plays in the background?

Super Metroid spoilers

Okay, which absolute madman at Nintendo was working on the boss designs and thought, "hey, remember Mother Brain from the first game? What if she had a BODY?"

Growing up, I never got a chance to finish Super Metroid because my cat ate my SNES cable and we were too poor to afford a new one. Now I get to have this experience with my partner on our YouTube channel - PJ 8Bit.

We are just a couple of vintage game freaks that let’s play vintage Nintendo and some triple A games. If that sounds like your thing - please subscribe to support our channel.
