THIS

this is by far, and i mean it, my favorite metorid game of all time

this game is a true love letter to the franchise, i wish it had been my first experience with metroid II, since the game is usually underappreciated or buried under the reimagination that samus returns brings

this is the more faithful remake, take that as you will, but the original message that the game is supposed to convey is here, it's all here, it adds tremendously to the metroid series without making too many non-canon decisions, this is the metroid II: return of samus that you're looking for, play this game

it made me laugh, it made me scream in terror and it made me cry, it's a very full game with a lot of care put into it

nintendo sucks for taking all of their fan projects down, especially with how well crafted this one is, how customizable it is, how INSANELY GOOD it is

i hope nintendo takes notes and lets people create more of these, more love letters to their games, or even just outright hiring these people who would passionately work on their new installments

godspeed, milton guasti, i'm dying to play ori 2
