t 31, make/do something Metroid-related, particularly YouTube videos. It can be a Let's Play, an analysis video, a discussion video, anything as long as it has to do with Metroid. Be sure to use the hashtag

#

OperationSamusReturns

with it as well.

2.) Just use the #OperationSamusReturns hashtag in general with Metroid stuff on social media. Spread the word as much as you can, so that more people will be encouraged to do so.

3.) The first major milestone of this movement will be with Metroid: Samus Returns for the Nintendo 3DS; the plan is to have the game be successful enough to outsell the best-selling Metroid game in the series so far. See, as it turns out, the Metroid games have not been very successful in terms of sales, especially when compared to the Marios, Pokemons, and Zeldas over the years. So far, the best selling game in the series was Metroid Prime for the GameCube, which sold 2.78 million units. Incidentally, the second best-selling Metroid game in the series was the very first Metroid on the NES, which sold 2.73 million units. Even Super Metroid, widely lauded as the best Metroid game in the series and one of the best SNES games on the platform, sold a mere 1.42 million units, which isn't even as much as Metroid: Return of Samus on the Game Boy (which sold 1.72 million units, BTW). Therefore, the goal for Metroid: Samus Returns is to try to have it surpass 3 million units in sales, and the only way to make that happen is to spread the word on this game and show Nintendo that we really do want a proper Metroid game after all these years!
