Years in the making, the fan project to remake Metroid 2 has now been completed and is available to play now.
Another Metroid 2 Remake, or AM2R for short, from producer DoctorM64, has aimed to remake the original Game Boy title Metroid 2: Return of Samus using the modern Metroid: Zero Mission gameplay style, complete with new graphics and areas, a map system, log system, stackable beam system, high quality soundtrack, updated enemy AI, and more.
Released on the 30th anniversary of the Metroid series, the fan remake is now available at long last for everyone to download and play for free on Windows PCs, right here.
This version is not the final one, but it is noted to be the first one, so expect updates in the future, along with a Linux build.
With no hints from Nintendo at remaking the second game in the franchise, this looks to be worth any Metroid fan's time and could make completing Metroid 2 a possibility for those that found the original too tough and confusing to navigate.
Update 8-Aug-2016: The download page and file links are now offline.
