“Space Pirates” by Adam Sidwell (click for a larger image).

Wow! I think many gamers would’ve preferred this artwork over Metroid: Other M’s boring North American cover, even though Samus kind of looks like a motocross ghostrider here. Certainly, it would be a step closer to Japan’s wayyyy cool packaging for the Wii game.

You can probably acquire a print of this by contacting Adam. By the way, you might recognize the artist of this piece as the same illustrator behind those double-sided Mega Man 2 posters we mentioned not too long ago. You might see those pop up here again soon in an upcoming contest… In the meantime, we’re currently running another giveaway that’s not to be missed.
