Cute, but I'm not a big fan of the fact that the suit has boobs... that just looks super weird to me. it looks less like sexualizing Samus to me, and more like he's trying to make us attracted to the SUIT... neither of which are good, imo.

I'd be down for a new Metroid game from just about ANYBODY.
Like I said, most likely a drawing from memory. Notice how her blaster is also different.

So less like Gladiator wear, like this then.


Well, I do agree I rather have the design like the Varia Suit, but still, doesn't really bother me much.

I can't draw Samus without some sort of reference, so I forgive him on this one.

"Here's a Samus I've been noodling since Metroid Prime 3 came out. Last night I found the drawing, erased most of it, and slopped in a bunch of hacky repairs." -Matt

I can't even draw Samus without some sort of reference, so I forgive him on this one.

Agreed. I honestly had no problems with that Samus redesign you posted, imo. But to each their own I guess.

That's because I had a bunch of references handy. Character model sheets from Prime, her Brawl art, etc. It's just a Shantae-inspired Varia suit.

"I want my "Ripley" inspired Samus back...Ripley taught us that when a job goes bad, strip down and open the airlock. And, scream at the monster... it helps." -Matt

I would buy the game just to see Samus scream a battle cry at Ridley.

And then super missle to the face.

I actually sent my Varia Suit Shantae over to Wayforward via their fanart email.

Even though Emily T. is in charge of community stuff, I really hope that Matt takes notice, considering the Metroid fan he is.

He's even got one of these beauties:

I've always loved the idea of a buffer Samus (more so than she is now at a bare minimum at least). So much so that I have an unfinished fanfic about the idea with an OC of mine named Gryph.

Called "GRYPH GETS PUNCHED IN THE FACE BY SAMUS ARAN"

You can imagine how that went down.

Anywho, speaking of female protagonists who in their life through some form or another get buffer, does anybody think Shantae would lift weights in her adult years?

In earlier character sheets, Samus is described as a muscular woman. The only places I see that represented nowadays is the Awkward Zombie comics.

"The Power Suit hides a strong, muscular woman. Samus is six feet, three inches tall, and weighs nearly 200 pounds."

I would like to see Shantae and Samus more more defined muscle more often, though. It fits them.

Also more bird jokes, Samus being raised by Super Future Space Chickens is simply too easy a set-up joke to pass on.

Speaking of which, I'd love to see more ridiculous art of Shantae talking like The Genie from Aladdin. Joke after joke please.

A personal design/drawing from memory of Samus from Matt Bozon.

Can we have Wayforward make a Metroid game, Nintendo?
Considering how bad Other M was, there's no where to go but up.

I don't mind out of character boob armor if Adam Malcovich is no where in sight. It's a worthy trade if I don't have to have my suit and weapons "authorized".

Along with this Christina Aguilera reference

I mean in terms of gameplay, most likely a new 2D game, as WF has shown that they have experience.

I'm sure Nintendo would have strict guidelines in terms of character designs, enviornment design, behaviors, etc., especially after Other M.

This is just an old doodle Matt did from memory.

I pretty much have no comment on this. However I do have one on this fan art.

Shantae: Behold me! The half-genie hero of time!
Link: (in his head) Bruh...

Lol....

If they are "Anti-Smash Ballot", as it says in that image..... Just ignore them. Period. If thats the case, their nothing but trolls trying to get attention.. lolz

Smash DLC is happening whether they like it or not... So they best get used to seeing the stuff

They're apparently "Anti-Shantae"

Wait- don't we already have an Anti-Shantae? :p

Speaking of Shantae/Nintendo drawings, I want to make a Yoshi's Island drawing, featuring an adorable Baby Shantae~

(Messed up again.)

Wouldn't spreading hate about something ultimately just draw more attention to said character anyway?

I don't know how you guys would perceive this, but considering the current situation about Nintendo and Indie developers, I'm hoping Sakurai at least considers Shantae for Smash Bros DLC. I then might finally have a reason to try out one of her games.

Yes, some of Zero Suit Samus's animations are anatomy breaking if you actually pause the game during some of them.

Also, I rather liked Other M. The only time I agree with people griping about Adam and his authorization was needing him to authorize the Varia Suit function.

And I <3 those Half Genie Hero of Time pics!

The Galactic Federation has always been ran by chimpanzees, and Samus is the only competent member.

This is literally the FASTEST I've completed a drawing since we have a lot of Shantae X Nintendo so I did some Shantae X Sonic by drawing her in the Sonic hoodie~

It did before though. You can go to the "More Options" tab to make it full sized in the first post.
I tried that but the image wasn't showing when I tried fixing it >.>

EDIT: I tried and now it won't show on my end sorry for the double post... seriously this forum needs a "delete" option... why does this forum have to be so difficult I can only handle simple things
