You seriously think Nintendo is going to let it get to a second release?

 

[Severian Silk]

I can't tell from the video, but can you play this game with a gamepad controller?

 

[Nuclear Explosion]

Yes.

Hello all,

Big Metroid fan here so I have been following the development of this project for some time and have been playing it since it came out.
In general, everyone who liked Metroid Zero Mission and Metroid Fusion is going to like this title as well, some classic gameplay elements return and some new interesting ones are introduced as well

Most of the maps and the design is well done and the few nods to the Prime series are nice, and it is really impressive to see how new areas and items have been integrated into the game.

I do recommend taking a break once in a while as otherwise it becomes rather repetitive if you play it for to long.

Played for about an hour and a half. This shit is legit. Really crazy good, feels like I'm playing Zero Mission. Also detected my PS3 pad instantly.

So is there any other way to get ahold of this now? Metroid was one of the franchises that got me into gaming, but I never did play 2.

Playing in very little bursts at a time. Just did the space jump boss and it was excellent, probably one of my favourite Metroid bosses (I've only played Super, Fusion, Zero Mission). Very good game. Can't speak to how good a remake it is as I never played 2.

The moment such a neat project gets discovered by the media is the moment it dies. Saw PC Gamer feature it this weekend and knew it was done for. Shame.

Of course Failtendo would take down this fan-project, even though Metroid has been dead and forgotten since Other M, which completely destroyed the character and the setting.

 

[skacky]

Yeah the takedowns are indeed from Nintendo. These guys really are fucking shit-eaters.

What are you talking about, Metroid isn't dead at all. We wouldn't want fan made crap like this taking the spotlight away from the real, upcoming Metroid game.

The vast majority of people who played it said it's good.

Frustration with Nintendo's treatment of the Metroid franchise aside (yeah, they never really seemed to know what to do with it despite that sci fi gamers in general love it), I want to give Metroid Prime Federation Force a try.
I always thought that the Metroid universe/franchise was big enough to allow for spin off titles with other characters (the Federation marines were a good choice after having been introduced in MP2 and MP3) and somewhat different gameplay.

I do wish however that it would have been released alongside a main title to the franchise to balance it out.

Regarding AM2R, Nintendo is in the right to protect its IP, but... well again Nintendo has done pis poor at maintaining the franchise, had it been dead after Metroid Other M this would have been the only title Metroid fans would have to look forwards too.
Now MP:FF is to be released soon, but it could have just as well been another eight years after the last Metroid products before Nintendo finally decided to see if there was some interest in the franchise. (the franchise was never really dead, Nintendo and Sakamoto simply made the mistake of trying to make a title that is more focused towards the Japanese audience instead of accepting that the majority of its fans are Westerners. I guess there is still some Japanese bias towards the West)

It seems that Nintendo has gotten to all of these links. The game is still easy enough to find on torrents though.

 

[The Dutch Ghost]

I also still have a copy. If someone wants one, just contact me.

 

[Siveon]

Huh, didn't realize it'd be that quick before a takedown. At the very least, I'm glad I snagged a copy - I was keeping tabs on this blog for freaking forever.

What is with companies and taking down some fangames? They're free, it produces an easy way to get the word of mouth going about your series, what's the problem?

 

[skacky]

Can't have a bunch of amateurs making better FREE games than us now can we?

 

[HoboForEternity]

why are these japanese companies so hard on fan-made games? western devs are generally more supportive, or at least indifferent for these kind of stuff. nintendo also dislike youtubers using their games for lets plays while smart developer actually use them for free marketing. they really are stuck in the 80's

Nintendo have always been grubby selfish assholes, dating all the way back to their nazi licensing rules and disputes with Tengen. Fuck them and their attacks on fan games which do not even affect their business.

Edit: Also just saw these scumbags likely forced a take down of all Nintendo Power magazines from internet archive.
