Metroid 2 Gets A Remake

By G-off. Thursday, 20. March 2008, 15:59:57

, , ,

There are a whole bunch of fan-made remakes of retro games out there, and not many are good. The exceptions (that I can think of) include Super Mario Galaxy DS and what I'm about to show you. A guy from Argentina has been working on a remake of Metroid 2 for the past three years, using Game Maker. It is visually stunning, and I can't wait to try out the tech demo. You can get updates about the project over at Milton's blog. You can also download the tech demo of this game at either YoYo Games or 64Digits. And here's a video for you to love.

That is awesome! Metroid 2 was my favorite game for the original game boy. I loved the spider ball, I wasted soooo much time crawling all over every ceiling possible. The Alpha Metroids creeped me out (I know, I was a wuss for getting creeped out by a game boy game). Ahhh, memories.

dHL: in a blog post you have to wait a while before anyone replies - people have lives - and time zones - and work - and school.

Also the controls on MPHunters are so awkward - ANY of the choices.
