Video games need more "Call Me Ishmael."

Remember how it blew your mind when you found out that the character you'd been jumping and shooting with in the first Metroid was a woman? Well, it turns out she was hiding a lot more than long, flowing locks under that Varia Suit armor.

First shown at last month's Comiket, this Metroid: Other M statue features heroine Samus in her Zero Suit. Here's a better look, because this figure deserves one.

The latest Metroid game, Other M, took some...liberties with the universe's story, and what it did to hero Samus in particular didn't go down too well. Many people blame the game's developers, Team Ninja for this, but that's not very fair.

You've bought Nintendo product, registered it online, and collected Club Nintendo coins for your effort. Nintendo repays you with a Metroid screensaver, Donkey Kong posters, and a giant AR card you could have printed out yourself!

Metroid: Other M has a game-freezing bug. In Japan, Nintendo has a fix. It involves sending things on a truck.
