There was a drawing for a Metroid Hunters Crystal Thing at the press event yesterday, and Robert actually won it. Behold:
I will talk about the game itself later, but I just found this object impressive. It's three dimensional, tiny bubbles like "voxels" (remember those?) describe the entire image. These objects (along with their black case/purple velvet interior) were given to the developers when they completed First Hunt for the DS launch. So owning it makes me feel a little like a fraud, but then I gaze into its tranquil depths and the world (with all its troubles) disappears.
