About a month ago we posted video of an incredible-looking fan remake of the underrated Metroid II: Return of Samus. It looked great, but just try to forget about it for a second and feast your eyes on the above. Now this ... this is what I am talking about.
This amazingly well made trailer is from community member (and obvious Metroid super fan) vonrichter’s upcoming Metroid: SR388. He posted the video on his community blog last night and, needless to say, I was impressed.
The game looks to be a completely original Metroid game using graphics from SNES masterpiece Super Metroid, with a ton of new enemies, weapons, special moves, backgrounds, and animations (*swoon*). And that scene with Samus sliding on the ice? Badass! Metroid: SR388 looks so good, in fact, that it could easily pass for an officially licensed 2D Metroid sequel. Do you not agree?
My hat is off to you, vonrichter. What you and your team have created so far is ridiculously impressive. I can’t wait to see (and play!) the final product. Good luck ... and may Nintendo’s legal team stay as far away from you as possible. Let me know if you need me to distract them with a Mario copyright infringement or something.

i know the block pushing would be part of the puzzle, but it just doesn't seem to fit the rest of what she can do.
Uh huh...uh huh...right. Yeah, no waggle controls.
DLC? Well, you could do that thing you're doing with the FF title and let people buy bikinis...
Please. They'd eat that shit up. Charge 'em $5 per bikini.
It honestly looks amazing. My hat is off to you good sirs and madames.
The only thing is...what's the goal here for you? Was this made totally out of love for Metroid, or are you looking to make some money? I'm sad to say it, but I see lawyers unleashing the hounds on you when they should be cutting you a check instead.
I also hope, they stay far away from him!
This is why we can't have nice things!
I think Dyson is trying to set up an interview with the main guy responsible for this amazingness. We'll keep you posted. :)
this looks absolutely awesome!
*bowing*
...Have you played any Metroid game since Metroid II? The grapple beam is nothing new.
But damn does this looks awesome. Somebody obviously gets what makes Metroid Metroid. Isolation, atmosphere, big weirdass bosses. I'll play this for sure.
Hold off judgement until you see how the pushing works in the actual game, and what kind of things it's used for ;-)

OH SNAP CHAD CONCELMO! HAHAAHHA YOU SUCK AT METROID KNOWLEDGE!
This simply looks awesome. Willing to offer sex, I came, etc., etc.
Thx for the interest!
Since the servers that host my forum are down for the foreseeable future, my Destructoid blog is now the home for new updates etc. Any new updates will be posted there!
Cheers!
