Hype emanating from the reveal of Metroid Ravenous has translated into an onslaught of memes after a logo generator circulated online. If you’re on Reddit or Bluesky, you may have seen the instantly iconic image of Samus Aran aggressively pinning down a mysterious enemy for consumption, but now accompanied by stupid text like “I ASKED FOR NO PICKLES” in the Metroid Ravenous font.
The Pixelframe Design website unveiled a tool that lets anyone input any text and style it to look like the grainy and jagged Metroid Ravenous logo, with four options for the image background. Pixelframe Design previously made similar logo generators for games like GTA 6, The Duskbloods, and famously, Pokopia.
The apparent hook of Metroid Ravenous is Samus’s need to kill and consume her enemies to survive. Naturally, that has led to food-related memes like a riff on the “55 burgers” scene from I Think You Should Leave, a reference to the viral concept of “girl dinner,” or a simple but effective “Om Nom Nom” joke. Literally any wording you put into the generator will look more badass in this font.
It’s also been amusing to see other video game titles like Hello Kitty Island Adventure in the Ravenous font face, and several other of these memes are just vulgar and gross enough to be hilarious. Don’t expect any of this to become official Nintendo marketing material.
The Metroid subreddit was briefly jam-packed with these images, leading to moderators creating a megathread devoted to the meme template. Hilariously, many of the top-upvoted comments are Ravenous memes dunking on the mods.
Revealed during the September 2026 Nintendo Direct, Metroid Ravenous is a follow-up to 2021’s Metroid Dread and a return to the 2D track of the franchise. While Nintendo hasn’t officially commented on who is developing Ravenous, Dread studio MercurySteam hinted that it’s behind the upcoming title on social media. Metroid Ravenous releases on January 28, 2027, and a special edition coming with a steelbook and Amiibo figure will also come out.
