I've mentioned Mikaƫl 'Orioto' Aguirre before for his excellent collaborative Gunstar Heroes HD PS3 themes, but since then he hasn't stopped creating hi-res painterly game-remakes, including this "NausicaƤ take on Metroid." [via Jenn's always wonderful Infinite Lives]

These games need to be made with this art style. Period.

The Metroid prime games always did have gorgeous environments. They felt more other-worldly and managed to take me further out of my own skin than nearly any other game I can think to mention. Awesome.
