So let me break this down.

A week or so ago a project on Kickstarter was launched and the title was: Metroid: Enemies Within (A Metroid Fan Film).

When I first saw this I was intrigued but not exactly in a good way. A fan is making a Metroid film? Good luck.

As I read on though I found out this was being done by professionals in the industry who just happened to be huge Metroid fans. Then a few days later the creators did a podcast for a website in which they talked in great length and detail and Metroid: Enemies Within. After listening to it I knew this had to be made.

Now a lot of people are doubting this will work for the simple reason that Nintendo will shut it down. And though that could happen it hasn't yet, so why not donate? If it gets stopped you get your money back, if it doesn't you helped fund a great project that'll most likely rock.

What it all boils down to is that we honestly don't have anything Metroid to look forward to, unless you count Samus in Smash Bros. but let's be honest that's not enough. The people who are developing this are Metroid fans, they're making this for Metroid fans, they want to prove that Samus Aran can work in a film. They are passionate about this, much like us gamers are about our games, so why not help them out? Let's make a dream come true and get a cool short film in the process. And who knows? Maybe, just maybe, if this works and we like it and Nintendo notices it we'll get a new Metroid game sooner rather than later.

Below are the links you need. The first is the Kickstarter Page, the second is the link to the interview where they talk about EVERYTHING you might ask them, the final is a blog done by me as I state why we need to have faith and come together as a gaming community to help make this happen. I also relay a plan on how to do this without breaking the bank.

This really should happen, so please donate and help spread the word, we deserve this Nintendo and Metroid fans, let's make it happen.

I have posted this a few days ago not many people know about this only 222 backers this news needs to get out somehow quickly.

If it is unauthorized, then it is illegal and will get shut down. A company is legally obligated to defend their trademarks if they want to retain those trademarks.

I agree this project needs to be spread around! We must do our part to help out! Sorry though, I didn't see your post, but this one has additional info so I think it'll be fine.

Jumpin: Very true, and I acknowledge that both here and in my blog, but this is not the first Kickstarter campaign to feature highly regarded IP's, some have actually been successful.

There was one not long ago featuring Nightwing, some fans from Las Vegas wanted to make a web-series based off of him. They put together a small intro vid and posted it on Kickstarter. It was funded and DC didn't shut it down even though they didn't ask permission to do so.

We can't be afraid of what Nintendo MIGHT do, and again if they do shut it down you won't be charaged for it, so what's the harm in donating?

Maybe DC didn't care about the Nightwing trademark. Nintendo has already shown that they certainly care about keeping Metroid and along with all of their trademarks.

Even if Nintendo had no more plans to make a Metroid game, they would still not want rival companies to use it.

But this isn't a rival company. This is a film studio. It's not like it's Sony or Xbox. These are fans of the Metroid series who simply want to show their love of the franchise in a way not done before.

And DC not caring about Nightwing? After TDKR? And the comic that's one of DC's best? And his appearence in Injustice? They care. But they respected what the guys did and allowed them to make the movie. And for all the shouts of "Nintendo will shut this down in 3 days like Square-Enix did to the FF project" it isn't down, if it's still growing and going.

maybe they dont know like the rest of the gaming comunity

They know, if they didn't then they know now because of all the coverage it's getting in the media. IGN and Kotaku are on Nintendo's radar for sure. And if they don't know.....better for us!

Check out this new image they uploaded to the Kickstarter site! They say there will more updates like this soon! Maybe we'll get a shot of the actual Power Suit!

This looks epic! Please Nintendo and Metroid fans, let's unite and help them make this movie!

Also! An interview with the actress who will be playing Samus Aran is said to be coming soon. I want to hear what she has to say about being this iconic character, don't you?

If Nintendo treats it the same as the Zelda fan-movie, then it could very well see the light of day before getting shut down (and thus being released into the wild, so it will survive).

Could be worth a look, depending on their vision for the series.
