Metroid 2 remake

Recommended Posts

Wow. This looks pretty great. The Game Boy was my first system, so where other people have intense NES/SNES nostalgia, my first Mario/Zelda/Metroid memories are all tinted in green and black. Nicer graphics sort of dull the nostalgia rush of it a big, but the upgrade does look nice.

it's not just a graphics overhaul they've added features from later Metroid games and some custom content.  i am really enjoying the world lore it adds a nice sense of discovery and mystery.

This describes me as well! I must have played the GB version of Metroid a dozen times.

 

Thanks for the link doodle_robot!

Not to burst anyone's bubble, but AM2R has become sort of a joke in the Metroid community by now. This dude's been working on the project for six years now with no end in sight. It's probably never getting a proper release. Note that the latest demo version was released on Christmas Eve, 2012.

Maybe it's because of his elaborate April Fools Day jokes?

 

I thought it was really funny

I don't know anything about the project, so for all I know it's some kind of elaborate troll, but it looks like the latest demo (v1.3) is from a few weeks ago? The dev has updated the original v1.1 post to link to the new version. I can't actually try it right now, since I'm on a Mac.
