Metroid Recon is a Metroid fan site owned and run by Falcon Zero. The site primarily focuses on guides as well as multimedia and fan made content.[1]

History

Recon was founded on November 4th, 2006 by Falcon Zero after years of working on text based guides for Metroid Database. It was hosted on GameSpy until July of 2009 when the site discontinued its hosting services.[2] Metroid Recon was then moved to its current location, where it was given a a new design and an increased amount of content.[2][3]

Content

Metroid Recon has walkthroughs for all of the games in the Metroid series, though their Metroid: Other M section is currently incomplete. Specific pages are designated for a focus on the locations of expansions and upgrades and detailed guides on how to defeat bosses. Maps of areas in each game showing the locations of items are bosses are also available. Recon also has guides for the Metroid related sections of Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Outside of the guides, Recon is home to a large amount of multimedia.[1] It has numerous screenshots and artwork from each game as well as music tracks. Scanned versions of the games' manuals can also be found on Recon. Metroid Recon has a large amount of fan made content including fan fiction, fan art, and wall papers.[1]
