Item Description

Samus Aran's second mission sent her deep beneath the surface of planet SR388 with a single objective: wipe out the Metroids at their source. Metroid II: Return of Samus brought the series to the Game Boy in late 1991, and Nintendo Power Volume 31, the December 1991 issue, is the Metroid issue that covered it for players heading into the holidays.

The game had a hook unlike anything else on the handheld: a counter showing how many Metroids remained on the planet, ticking down as Samus hunted each one through its evolving stages, from the familiar floating jellyfish to the far more dangerous Alpha, Gamma, Zeta and Omega forms. It introduced the Spider Ball and Space Jump to Samus's toolkit and ended with a hatchling Metroid imprinting on her, a moment that set up Super Metroid years later.

The rest of the issue lands at a wonderful crossroads, with the NES still going strong, the Game Boy thriving and the Super NES just months old, and its coverage reaches games like ActRaiser and Batman: Return of the Joker. For a Metroid collector, it is a printed piece of the series' history from the years between the NES original and Super Metroid, and for a magazine run it closes out 1991 in style.
