I can play the originals Pac-Man for days, bruh, but I see your point.
Yeah, I was questioning whether or not I should include Pac-Man in there - it does get pretty addicting.
That is a mistake I will have to correct.
Late, but I can say nice job.Oh, hey, looks like we're still doing this.
Well, here's a newer version of the Smashified Ridley UI I had made several months back while I was trying to do all the characters they had made.

To be completely honest, I forgot this project had even existed because I was too busy focusing on my computer science and computer animation classes last spring.
Thanks!
Ridley's so big he causes the framerate to go way down when there's eight of him.
Sounds like an interesting idea, though it depends what they do for the series (Origins? New content? Mixture from games?).
When the now much despised Konami allows a wonderful Castlevania show to be done, it's hard for me to picture why Nintendo wouldn't allow the same to happen for one of their IP's which would only benefit them, though am not ruling anything out. But if Star Fox is anything to go by now, they're more open for animated things being done for their IP's, and maybe they'd have an involved helping hand in an animated Metroid being done.
Since Nintendo seem to be more open to lending their IPs out these days, so they probably wouldn't mind allowing someone to make a TV series for Metroid, providing it's left in the right hands. I reckon Yoshio Sakamoto would be there to consult over the story line, portrayals etc, which would mean between him and the director, it should be fine (though people need to let the thing with Other M go, it has been 7 years, people need to get over it already...). We'll have to wait and see though, there's been plenty of times that people have said they'd do something and not follow through, or still keep us waiting (though sometimes it's Nintendo's fault, like with the Meta Ridley F4F figure).
If the new Metroid games see success, then it'll show Nintendo that we're eager for more Metroid, and it might encourage them to make more games and content for the Metroid series in the future. Meaning there might be more appearances for Ridley down the line. Imagine Metroid in a new golden age.
This is what I attempted to make with this, except named in reference to both Operations Rainfall and Moonfall.
Honestly, I would love to see a "What-If" story where Samus was raised by Ridley and the Space Pirates rather than the Chozo.
I could easily see Ridley acting sort of as a paternal 'evil counterpart' figure to Old Bird and Grey Voice. Whereas Old Bird and Grey Voice acted as surrogate father figures to Samus, with the former trying to give Samus a happy and peaceful life on Zebes and the latter donating his DNA to make her 'part-Chozo', Ridley is perfectly willing to throw her straight into battle at a young age in hopes that war will make her strong enough to survive as a Space Pirate. Like Grey Voice, he could presumably act as a 'distant' father figure, believing that open acts of love and kindness are shameful but at the same time wishes that she could get strong enough to succeed him as the Space Pirate leader.
And when they do eventually clash in a battle to the death for control, he'd be proud of her while at the same time not just letting her kill him.
Well, if she can be "brainwashed" in one game, then being warped in an alternative timeline wouldn't be a surprising thing at this point XD
I adore how Ridley looks in this. However, i have read this scenario a couple of times way before, the authors adding something that makes it unique in their own ways. Pretty interesting indeed.
The translation of this is actually pretty funny.
.....so it's not Ridley "adopting" Samus, it's Ridley basically pulling a Bowser.....on a little girl.....?
I refuse to believe this is the actual translation and someone is ****ing with you.
xD I tried so hard to not laugh at this...but I couldn't...this is extremely weird.
Yeah, I've heard of "love at first sight", but that's a bit ridiculous. :V
The artist used to ship Samus and uh... Rundas together so I wouldn't be surprised if it was the actual translation. Granted, it seems more like a "well that came out of left field" joke, but, you never know.
Oh, believe me, finding out the translation of that part was quite the experience indeed.
I second that feeling, funny but awkward later...I wonder if the artist is going to make more of it...at least not surpassing limits, because the implications that sentence had scares me quite a bit.
