Shinesparkers is delighted to share a brand new feature! This one is a translation of two articles in the Japanese magazine Spaceship, with behind the scenes details regarding the Metroid II and Super Metroid commercials aired only in Japan in 1991 and 1994. We discovered them during my search for Samus’s actresses and planned on translating them in the future. In addition to the articles, I am also sharing additional discoveries I made regarding the production of both commercials, including a new picture of the stop-motion Samus figure used in them! These commercials remain popular with Metroid fans in Japan and overseas, and we hope you’ll enjoy learning more about how they were made as much as we did!
