Never underestimate a video game fan with some sort of artistic ability. This statue comes from the Deviant Art page of red3138. Check out his gallery to see his other work, which includes an equally awesome Samus Aran action figure.

We continue our countdown today with another fairly famous ass in the world of videogames. Any ideas? Well, it wouldn’t surprise me if you didn’t instantly recognize it as the girl in question usually covers it up. Not here, though. Read on to see our number 6 pick, but remember: some content may be considered ‘Not Safe For Work’.

#6 – Samus Aran (Metroid)

Metroid surprised the gaming world way back in the heyday of the NES by revealing that beneath all the armor, Samus is all woman. Break through that hard exterior and you’ll find a beautiful person inside — kind of like a metaphor for… something. Nintendo is teaching us that it’s what’s on the inside that counts, especially if what’s on the inside is a hot babe.

Check out that ass!

Surprisingly, Nintendo has actually sexed up Samus in recent years, going so far as to feature her in her painted-on Zero Suit in games like Super Smash Brothers Brawl. Of course, some people out there have different ideas for what the ‘Zero Suit’ really means, and it’s relatively easy to find pictures of a naked Samus. I honestly don’t feel the need to even link to them because the Zero Suit is practically already a naked Samus, she’s just blue.

I’m going to just stop there a give you this nice collection of pictures:

Curious what some Samus cosplay would look like? We’ve seen Samus in her armor before, but I found a pretty nice Zero Suit pic as well:

Funny thing is, Samus can be found in SSBB with her male ass counterpart, Solid Snake. Anyone who’s seen Metal Gear Solid 4 in action knows that Snake has some tight glutes, and pretty much any of these pictures could be him if you paste his face on there and get rid of the boobs. Unfortunately, I just couldn’t bring myself to type “Solid Snake’s ass” into google, but I found a humorous little sexcapade with Snake and the girls from Smash Bros.

I think we’ve proven beyond any doubt that Samus, despite her unwillingness to show it off in the past, has a sweet ass. Okay, she’s being practical and actually wearing a full protective suit to fight aliens, but that’s not gonna land her a boyfriend. Strangely, though, I’ve seen more pics than I care to have seen of an incredibly pregnant Samus, so I don’t know what that’s about. Maybe Samus is more of a freak than I thought…

Anyway, don’t forget to check back tomorrow to find out the number 5 pick on our Top 10 Nicest Asses in Videogames countdown.

All the Asses: 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | Special Mentions | 1

While the debate over videogames as art continues to rage, Joshua Cadmium has taken it upon himself to make art out of videogames. Specifically, Samus Aran.

Taking a cue from his childhood love of Metroid, the artist has created some nostalgia-inducing pixilated pictures, painstakingly recreated line for line on wood. Joshua is currently looking for fellow Samus enthusiasts to offer up some cash for the works of art, and any hard-core old-school Metroid fan can appreciate the simple yet elegant designs he has created.

His techniques and art style are above my head, so I’ll let him do the talking as far as the art side is concerned. I’m just here to talk videogames.

Read all about it at his blog.

This has got to be the best Metriod Cosplay (a portmanteau of the English words “costume” and “play”) that I have ever laid eyes on. Check out some more of her Samus Aran photos after the jump.

The costume detail is insane, and the woman in the suit is Jenni Källberg, who in addition to appearing here as Samus Aran, has tackled The Fifth Element’s Leeloo Dallas (love that multi-pass) and several other interesting characters you can check out at pixelninja.se.

Our artists are busy working on the King of the Game video game tournament and every once and a while we will give you a sneak peak at a few pages without spoiling the plot and revealing who comes out on top.

Below are two final pages minus the dialog of the battle between Metriod’s Samus Aran and Halo’s Master Chief. The art is by Jonathan Lo.

There will be 32 different characters competing for the recognition of being pixel for pixel the baddest that ever called a console home. If you would like to take a look at the rest of the line ups you can check them out here. Enjoy.

Division 1, Division 2.

Can Marcus Fenix roadie run his way through a bullet blazing, one liner laden, no holds barred battle with the one and only Duke Nukem? Will Metal Gear’s main man Snake slither his way to victory against the Splinter Cells triclops, Sam Fisher? Metriod’s Samus Aran, or the combat evolved Master Chief? The king of cold: Sub Zero or the queen of hot: Lara Croft?

We here at ripten have been working for over two months, researching, arguing, and eating lots of junk food, all in the name of bringing you an accurate account of each characters quest for video game immortality. The results are in and over the coming weeks, you will lay witness to five rounds of sword swinging, scope sniping, chainsaw buzzing intense action.

Below you will find division one of the first round match ups, division two will be up tomorrow. We would love to hear your comments on how you think things should go down and who you would like to see win it all.

DIVSION ONE

Update: June 4th, 2007

Hello everyone,

Division One has changed slightly based on the feedback we received from readers. Lara Croft will now be facing off against “Pitfall Harry” and Ryu of Ninja Gaiden fame will be swinging his sword against Mr. Joe Shinobi.

We thank you for the feedback! To see the division two matchups click here. Check back tomorrow for matchups to start posting to the site in comic book page format featuring the artwork of various artists!

Thanks,
Mad Gamer
