Just who the hell is Justin Bailey? Well, now I know (spoiler: no one).

Originally posted by Reddit user TestZero, these images detail 10 bits of trivia for the original Metroid, the 2D action game that came out for the Nintendo Entertainment System back in 1986. And, no, it’s not the obvious stuff (did you know that Samus is a girl??). I consider myself a pretty decent fan of the series, but even I didn’t know most of these facts.

You can find all of them here, including an actual explanation for why Samus can’t crawl.

Now, can we please get a new Metroid game, Nintendo?
