I want to present to you guys two interesting and well developed Metroid II remakes, done by the fans. We'll start with the first:

Quote:
 
SOURCE: http://metroid2remake.blogspot.com/

Three years in the making, this Game Maker 7 title is shaping up to be a Zero Mission-esque update to the classic yet often ignored Metroid II: Return of Samus for the original spinach-screen Game Boy. Quite a few art assets were ripped from Metroid Fusion (and possible Zero Mission as well), but a lot was created from scratch. Added elements not present in the original game include:

Beam stacking
Additional upgrades like Power Bomb and Speed Booster
A minimap system
Expanded areas

There is a trailer on the website that uses Stemage's awesome metal arrangement of the Metroid II tunnel theme. I hope it gets into the final game. If you want to hear more of Stemage's Metroid arrangements, hit up http://metroidmetal.com/ right now.


That one actually looks to be quite promising. Seven years in the making, that's gotta say a lot about it. Now, I'm going to present the second one, but I want people to FOCUS REAL HARD on the credits

Did you guys catch one of those names? For fellow former MGBers, I'm refering to you guys. One of the names in the credits was ELPIZO, and we all know and love our Elpizo, because he was one of the pioneering members of MGB. We also know he dabbled in making games, one of which was a Metroid fangame.

Very interesting stuff, no?

Holy God that looks awesome! I also can't believe Elpizo is working on it! Didn't he do Megatroid?

Ah man, Elpizo's in on this? Man, that guy was awesome, and it's nice to see he hasn't given up making fan games. I'll definitely be keeping tabs on this one.

This topic is old as fuck, but I figured I should update it since there's now a demo to play. It came out a little over a month ago, but I only happened upon it today by accident.

The link very specifically mentioned that it most likely wasn't Nintendo this time around, but rather some random asshat "acting" in Nintendo's name. Though we have no official word yet.

The mirrored location in question is checking if the claim was legit. If it wasn't, they'll re-host it. But the source is, as Seeco said, still available.

Aaaaaaand it's gone. Or at least, direct download. The torrent still seems to be up though.
