I keep looking around for a Zero Mission display box to go side by side with my now semi-beat-up Fusion display box.. nobody has gotten anything yet.

We (EB) just got a Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles promo box. It had three button down shirts embroidered, a bunch of lanyards, buttons for three character classes in the game and some badge thingies. No Metroid yet.

EGM review 9.5, 9.0, 9.0 Gold Award, GAME OF THE MONTH
Hard Mode and NES Metroid are unlockables.
Connect Metroid Zero Mission to Metrid Fusion and receive a Metroid Art Gallery.
13 days.. so long..

I'm really hoping that in addition to the art gallery, they have the ending gallery that the Japanese version of Fusion had.. and hopefully there are different ending pics for hard mode (again, just like Japanese Fusion)..
A little thing I noticed from the EGM pics is that your max number of energy tanks is six!!!
I'll have to find and post the picture of the Kraid/Ridley Statue room later today.. it looks REALLY cool (and this time you can't bomb jump to Tourian early LOL).

Even though I have 1.5 copies of the original NES Metroid, having the NES Metroid on portable is well worth the cost alone. It's just great we get a super-remake of it as well.

I'll get this when it hits $15, just to have it. Considering I own Metroid Prime, Metroid Fusion, and Super Metroid and could never get into any of them, it's not high on my priority list. I'll stick to the Zelda series, Nintendo's true crowning achievement.

I'll see what I can grab...I'm sure I can get a promo display box (normal gba box sized) for ya. I dunno about the mini standee type thing, that has to stay by the GBA SP for the demo.

Is the unlockable version of the orignal one of those things that you have to beat the game while standing on your head and whistling Dixie kind of things, or just something you can unlock from the menu?
