Metroid fans aren’t just passionate, but also quite generous! Another Metroid charity event is taking place this month called ‘What would Samus do?’ a project run by TenchuX who plans to remaster the Super Metroid soundtrack to raise funds for the Childs Play Charity. The aim of the charity is to raise funds to give children who are suffering in hospital beds in over 60 hospitals worldwide toys and games to keep themselves occupied and bring a little bit of happiness during those difficult times.

TenchuX will be releasing a track once per day, every day from the 24th November to the 15th December. If you wish to donate to the cause or learn more about the project and the charity, check out the sources below.

Spike TV’s annual videogame award ceremony is going to be held on Saturday, December 11th in Los Angeles and Metroid: Other M has been nominated for the award of ‘Best Wii game’ for the year. The game is up against Super Mario Galaxy 2, Kirby’s Epic Yarn and Donkey Kong Country Returns. Given the fact that Metroid: Other M hasn’t sold as well as expected, can it claim a victory as the best game of 2010?

Jenni Källberg (a.k.a Pixel Ninja), an award winning cosplayer from Sweden who has created videogame costumes such as Zelda and Raiden has recently finished a Varia Suit costume. This extremely detailed costume looks incredibly realistic looking and is by far one of the best costumes i’ve ever seen. Jenni has attracted much attention for her costumes and was even invited along by Nintendo of Europe for a photo shoot for the release of Metroid Prime Trilogy in Germany. To see images of the suit and to learn more about Jenni and her other work, you can do so by visiting her website in the source.

Fantastic effort Jenni! We wish you the best of luck with your future creations!
