Home > Fan-made AM2R Unofficially Celebrates Metroid's 30th Anniversary
Originally published on Nintendo Castle.
It seems that another Metroid anniversary has come and gone with no official recognition from Nintendo. Despite this, Metroid fans march on and the lovely team behind the Metroid II meets Zero Mission fan-game Another Metroid 2 Remake have officially released the game. 8+ years in the making, "AM2R" is a complete remix of Metroid II: Return of Samus and features new Zero Mission-inspired graphics, a beautifully remixed soundtrack, tight controls and mechanics, and new areas to explore. The game is available as a free windows download and seems to run flawlessy.
The game can be played on a keyboard if you desire, but it's highly recommended that you use a PC-compatiably controller. XBox controllers are the easiest to set up with the game. If you're interested in playing, we recommend downloading it quickly, because the chances of Nintendo issueing a cease and desist on this unliscensed fan project are quite high. If you're still not convinced, check out the release trailer and some screens below, or simply give the soundtrack a listen. We think you'll change your mind.
