I bet Shiggy always thought Metroid, as a title, sounds like a game where you'd play as some kind of alien bug.

I feel like I read it one of the hardbacks but it's from an Iwata interview. My favourite Shaggy thing is trying to give Link a gun

quote:

In an Iwata Asks interview, Miyamoto said that, when designing the Zapper, Nintendo wanted a game to go along with it. The Zapper's creators determined franchises like Animal Crossing or Mario wouldn't suit the first-person shooter genre, so they settled on The Legend of Zelda. It bears mentioning that Miyamoto never said the Metroid franchise was considered, even though Metroid Prime 3: Corruption was mentioned earlier in the same interview. Miyamoto pitched "a sort of Terminator style story," where Link would seemingly receive a gun via a time warp from the future, but this was instantly shot down by the team.

Because it never leaves its bedroom, no one has ever seen this poster's real face.
I have a theory


- mandibles ("bug head")
- when he removes his helmet, we see the nature of his vision change in first-person ("changes visors")

The sick freaks who developed SMB3 for the Gameboy Advance put the cape from Mario World in there. I thought at first this wouldn’t be something Shiggy would allow for but now that I’m hearing about Bug Samus and Gun Link…
