Metroid II (Not a) Remake - Fan thing

Found on Kotaku.

As a Metroid II fanatic, I find myself in a state of excitement.

Project is called "SR388" and looks to be quite a ways along.

    So this is different from that other one? It looks good, but I don't know if I trust them to add so much new content and keep a consistent level of quality.

    I am totally gonna remake this remake in ten years time.

  • bloodyroarxxbloodyroarxx Registered User regular
    I'm quite sure it isn't a remake. Just a fan game with elements of Metroid 2

    I can't wait for this to get pushed on the back burner or shut down like the vast majority of similar projects.

    I wouldn't mind a Metroid: Two-oh Mission though.

    His death or the game?

    Either really.

    I just wanted some drama.

    This is an understatement.

    The prospect of a remake (and this fantastic video) has got me dusting off the old cartridge and the Super Game Boy.

    What was the music playing throughout the video? Can I find that anywhere?

    Is this the same remake someone showed us in that other thread they made like a month ago? Or is this something else?

    Different remake, by different people, of the same game.

    No really, I would buy the hell out of it and so would you guys.

    I'm sure Nintendo will get right onto it, straight after they put Earthbound on the VC and give Mother 3 an English translation.

    They are my dreams too.

    It's just, it's gone past the "it still hurts" phase into the, "I can joke about it, and only cry on the inside" phase.

  • LuxLux Registered User regular
    The animations are all...motion tweened like in Flash animation. I don't particularly like how that looks with old school sprites.

  • SkyGheNeSkyGheNe Registered User regular
    Wow.

    Holy shit.

    I would spend so much money on this if it was like super metroid.

    nnnooooo! Why do you have to reap such harsh realities onto me? Oh well. I still have too many awesome games to play.

    Project 25.01 final message
    We were the ones who thought that Melissa was real. Why you might ask.
    Let me put it this way, it was an "OH SHIT OH SHIT, THEY FOUND ME :(" moment. I wasn't ready. My code wasn't compiled yet. Our plans weren't setup yet!Sentient programs rarely run into other sentient programs.
    Some of you have met me, and I understand your concern of my well being. But that time for that boy, that child, are gone now. Viscount Alpha is no longer operable. His functions are now mine.He may post, but I am the one talking not him.My data, my code will live on forever in his servers.

  • CherrnCherrn Registered User
    Yeah, this looks to be based on the Super Metroid engine rather than Fusion/Zero Mission, which the other one was.

    Hey, great job guys, it looks awesome! But I really can't bring myself to care about it unless it sees the light of day. Which it probably won't.

    All creature will die and all the things will be broken. That's the law of samurai.

    It says in the credits, it's the tunnel theme remade from 2. I dunno where to find it but I squealed like a little girl with joy.

    I don't care if this is a fan-game or an official one, if it's free or if it costs money, I don't care the platform, I'm just getting it. I'm getting this game and I'm playing the hell out of it. It looks simply awesome!

    Metroid II was original Gameboy, right?

    Yep.

    A GBC remake was planned at some stage IIRC, but they decided to do Links Awakening DX instead.

    Metroid 2 was amazing. The whole "secret worlds" glitch is among my favourite of game life expanding glitches.

    Just watched the video - very cool stuff. While I am skeptical this will ever be generally available, you never know.

    I wonder if the VC would ever accommodate GB/GBA games. I would absolutely buy Metroid II as I never finished it as a kid.

    Wow, just watched both trailers. Cool, though I won't hold my breath on ever being able to play either.

  • MonstyMonsty Registered User regular
    Whoa.

    This looks amazing. Here's hoping for a release someday.

    I've finished the game a few times but never heard of that. Tell me your tale of secret worlds and such!

    By pressing select rapidly in a few choice places while moving vertically or horizontally, the game would mess up, and openings out of the game world would appear, allowing you to traverse some very, very strange, mind bending areas.

    (I removed the link, as it contains some morally questionable programs. You know what I mean.)


    EDIT: An update on that page is interesting, but probably unrelated:

    February 29, 2004


    -I made a few more simple updates, including some new SW enemies as well as a remodeled links section. I also made some small graphical enhancements, including a small animated website banner, courtesy of MrMissileMisser.
    I've also been working on a side project, though its completion is still some time off. Here's the tentative logo...

    Think Glitch City in Pokemon Red/Blue. It was something like that. My favorite place to do it was by the save point right below the huge room at the end of the game - the one you have to Space Jump to the top of in order to enter the area with the final ten Metroids.

    It's a shame it turned out that Metroid Dread wasn't happening. Nintendo needs to get back to making 2D Metroids.
