A brief look into the history of the metroid universe

A Brief Look Into The History Of The Metroid Universe

Why You Should be Excited for ‘The Wonderful 101’

Bewilderment. I think that’s a pretty fitting word to describe anyone’s mind while they’re playing the upcoming Wii U title The Wonderful 101.
