"The last Metroid is in captivity, the galaxy is at peace..." Ridley: Hold my beer...

there's one boss you could never beat, nintendo's lawyers

Can we appreciate how smooth the animations for the Metroids are?

When a Metroid 2 remake has Zero-Mission graphics and Fusion bosses

*in response to fan games/remakes* SEGA: Awesome job! You're hired! Nintendo: B A N

Man whoever programmed these bosses did an amazing job! They are difficult but not over the top. They are challenging and not too easy.

The greatest truth of the Internet is that once something is on it, it is essentially impossible to ever remove it. Even with Nintendo serving a cease and desist order, AMR 2 is still there for those enterprising enough to find it.

Fun fact: Some of the bosses in this game use modified versions of roars from Godzilla films. The Torizo fight uses a modified version of the Mecha King Ghidorah roar, and the Queen Metroid uses modified versions of Showa Mechagodzilla, Showa King Ghidorah, and Gamera. This could be in reference to how both Phantoon and Crocomire use Titanosaurus' roar in Super Metroid

This dude makes getting hit seem hard.

Such an incredible remake. So glad that it got on the internet before Nintendo shut it down. Now there is no stopping it now that it's out.

I will say he REALLY gave the power bombs the sound and look of a serious explosion

Take a shot everytime a power bomb is used

I like the idea of several minibosses instead of just a few megabosses. Gives a better impression of a diverse ecosystem full of things that are trying to kill you.

Better than anything Nintendo has done for Metroid in a long ass time

Just played it and I gotta say I'm impressed. The game is so smooth, slick graphics and great music/sound effects. Nintendo should hire this guy.

also, nintendo can't stop the bloom of this fan game. once something is on the internet, it stays there forever. nice try nintendo.

21:41 Love that ending message. It's a 'Super' thing to see in a 'Metroid' game. :) Hint Hint

00:27 Alpha Metroid 00:57 Ancient Guardian 01:41 Gamma Metroid 02:19 Arachnus 03:57 Torizo 06:07 Zeta Metroid 07:52 Tank Prototype 08:39 Serris 10:52 The Tester 11:54 Genesis 13:02 Omega Metroid 14:40 Queen Metroid

Guy works years on this game... Nintendo shuts down all download links on his site because copyright. Meanwhile, Samus is still in the garbage can after Other M.

The best Metroid game nintendo never made

if is not a official metroid game then why did it look real and fun?

This game literally has some of the best, most creative and well thought-out Metroid bosses ever. These bosses are insane.

Incredible how much the Bosses of Samus Returns take inspiration from certain attacks of those of AM2R.

every time I see a comment about nintendo taking this game down, the idea of death becomes more and more appealing

I kinda wish Nintendo put this in Samus Returns. Like, Nintendo would say "Hey! If you buy this game, you get to check out this awesome 2D version of it that a fan made!" I would not mind that.

The Metroid Queen looks so scary omg!

This game Is a masterpiece

Wait, you can ROLL under Torizo??? Man that would've been easier for me...Also what version is this? It appears to be different from what i've played, which is 1.1 since the beams are different.

did everyone forget they can draw pickups to them with the charge beam like in Metroid Prime?

The ending of this game is just serene, simple and beautiful. One of the best Metroid Games.

Returning here after completing 3DS Samus Returns to make my comparisons. I think Samus Returns did the Metroid bosses in a more interesting and cinematic way, but I love AM2R's boss diversity so much more. Gotta respect what passionate fans can pull off. Well, I think we've already covered how disgusting and stupid this DMCA was; clearly Nintendo has never heard of the Streisand Effect. See, if I were Nintendo, I would have hired these guys AND found a way to sell this game. The most devious plan: make AM2R into DLC or Amiibo unlockable for 3DS Samus Returns, thus promoting sales for both games! As slimy as it would be to gate this behind the 3DS title, I think most fans would still prefer that over no legal way to get the game (and still less slimy than gating an entire difficulty mode for Samus Returns behind an Amiibo, but lets not get started on that).

why nintendo, WHY, WHY WOULD YOU SHUT DOWN THIS MASTERPIECE!?

This game was SO GOOD. A definite improvement and remaster of Metroid 2, and I had so much fun playing it! Also, watching you defeat all the bosses with no damage, it reminds me I kept forgetting I had the morph ball and the ability to stick to walls during boss fights. I kept trying to jump over the zeta like an idiot. Doh!

The Space Jump Torizo is a Remix of Chykka's themes from Prime 2 Echos

I seriously think the person who made this should apply for a job in the videogame industry. Wish them all the best

As it turns out, not EVERYTHING in this game was destroyed. They kept the title music, Phase 2 of the Torizo battle was also Raven Beak’s second phase in Metroid Dread, and 10:53 was the Diggernaut’s head from Samus Returns.

super metroid + metroid fusion + metroid zero mission = awesome

Nintendo I'm honestly ashamed to have called my self a fan for years. As a true metroid fan, for I own and have played all of them numerous times, I honestly appreciate what this fan did, he makes a NONPROFIT fan made game as an homage to one of the greatest games ever made as a tribute to you guys, and a very well made one at that, very talented, but instead of saying thank you, and potentially hiring this person, you shut it down? Why Nintendo, why?

This was subscribe worthy for sure, Im really happy that KZfaq suggested your video man

And those little Crystal things are X Parasites Apparently.

This is a great fan project. The bosses are fun and definitely in the Metroid style. The music may be decent at Best, but it still fits the franchise well. The pre-used bosses are great (along with their themes), and they are fun as always. Controls are fantastic, and in the end, this is a huge amount of fun throughout. Doc, if you ever see this, keep up the good work. I'm impressed on how good this is

When the little metroid came out. I was grinning like an idiot for how adorable it was, squeaking as it was munching on the crystals.

I remember this! This was the fan made remake that Nintendo said NOPE before making their own. The devs here did a fantastic job!

I didn't notice the detail the rescue team was given when the Omega Metroid was introduced. The red and blue troops have automatic guns in reference to their arsenal Prime 2. The big one in green has a plasma pack similar to the one Anthony uses in Other M. As for the yellow troopers pistol...no idea, best guess is the emergency pistol from Zero Mission.

8:43 Oh god that Metroid Fusion flashback I've just had!

And now we have an official remake. Time for a lifetime of nightmares!

Queen Metroid still looks the best in this game. The music, design, movements make the battle ultra epic.

*METROID II REMAKE FOR THE 3DS: C O N F I R M E D*

I recall that once I suggested the creator to add Ridley as surprise boss and he said it would be a bad idea, but it was ironic that Nintendo added him anyway and without being a mere robotic duplicate. I personally think that some bosses got kinda out of place, including that fully mechanical Torizo and it's flying form in AMR2. The ending could had been better, but guess there was not enough time to think about it.

Why the hell doesn't Nintendo make remakes like this? They would make SO much money rather than the garbage that is Federation Force.

I always found it interesting that the Varia Suit and the Metroids have shared the same color schemes. It especially comes full circle in Metroid Fusion once Samus absorbs an SA-X and now has both Metroid DNA from the Baby Metroid, and a Metroid-ish appearance with the three-spiked Visor that alludes to the species's three red nuclei. I mean, what can I say, Metroid is a pretty cool guy! eh kills space piretes and doesn't afraid of anything.

Even the graphics look better pixelized than 3d and all the encounters and gameplay aspects make the game 100 time better

Felt bad about it being shut down, its a great game.

this remake looks amazing, like really really polished. im super impressed by the person that made all this

I fought The Tester waaay earlier. fuck me

I think is better than new remake for 3ds

Que recuerdos :") de este video conoci al juego que joya este video joder 💜

DoctorM64 used the Mecha-King Ghidorah sounds for the flying Mech Chozo bossfight, and the original Mechagodzilla sounds for the Queen Metroid bossfight... I love it. And for shame on you, Nintendo, for stopping this dude from "finishing" the game, instead of just hiring the lad and paying for the rights to the game. Like, that would've been a win-win-win-win!

Haha, nice try, Nintendo! What goes on the internet, stays on the internet.

Samus Returns has been super fun but man, the boss variety in AM2R makes it look so much more interesting

Wow this video had my heart racing, the guy who made the game captured the horror and intesity

Sweet! Just when I was thinking about looking up a boss run.

"i give up." *power bomb*

I’m so happy I got my hands on this before the ban was in place because remember all the hours I put into Metroid two on my Gameboy and how much joy it brought me. I love that the soundtrack for this also had lots of Metroid 2 and prime 2 samples

Zeta and Omega Metroids kinda looks like dinosaurs sort of.

Something funny about AM2R for me is that I used to think ASMR stood for, Another Super Metroidd Remake.

wow! thats a very good remake, and nice job defeating the bosses.

8:41 Holy shit, he brought back SERRIS! *falls through the floor from fainting*

ah, that Serris techno music brings back memories....

4:40 How to forget when Torizo evolved into the Winged Dragon of Ra...

this was awesome liked and subed1

The music for this game is so damn good it's hard to believe it was a fan game. This is the high quality stuff that Nintendo should be giving metroid fans.

I really liked these boss fights! Except that the Zetas should have had a fire ball attack as it's more fitting with the tower area, and the Omegas and Genesis should have been buffed up because they were too easy!

Never knew about this fan game and it looks pretty well made

wow thats pretty amazing!

Alpha Metroid - 00:11 Gamma Metroid - 01:37 Arachnus - 02:18 Zeta Metroid - 06:05 Omega Metroid - 12:57 Queen Metroid - 14:39

This game is a piece of art. Love it

I still love this fan game...took lots of years making it since i been Waiting for that such long time :O

ARGH! The Torizo fight is *perfect*. I've been wanting to see a Torizo in a Metroid game for aaaaages, and _really_ good re-appropriation of the Torvus Bog boss music.

why is omega metroid be harder than queen metroid tho

Sigh. Dear Nintendo, the right response to someone who made an unofficial remake of your game would be to FUCKING HIRE HIM, instead of shutting the project down. If you shut the project down after hiring him, fine -- at least he'd bring some amazing ideas to the table. You only have yourselves to blame.

Your morphball/spiderball timing is incredible... Or maybe I just suck. Either way, holy shit good job.

Simply amazing, more talent than all of Nintendo. Great job!

I'm not a Metroid fan but I really love the monsters in this game :)

I’m just picturing Samus as the first Torizo opens it’s eyes, she says “shit...” as she switched to missiles😂

I remember used power bomb less because I didn't want to waste powerful things, glad that I did it because I had fun fighting these bosses like The Tester and Serris without power bomb 😎 (and I forgot to use morph wall stick ability too)

This game looks freaking awesome! I have to try it out.

Huh, I never realized you could roll through Torizo's legs with the Morph Ball.

A couple weeks ago when I bought Return of Samus on the 3DS Virtual Console, I really enjoyed it from beginning to end. Soon after, I wished that there would be a remake of it. Then, without hearing any news about it, this was made. Immediately after hearing this, which was today, I wanted to download and play it. That is, until I found out about the bad news. Which made me lose all hope. Seriously, WHY did Nintendo copyright claim this awesome looking masterpiece of a remake? I know that they were the ones that made the series and characters and music and etc, but do they even know what "fan made" even means? They are your FANS that LOVE the games that YOU made for all to enjoy. Couldn't you just admire the amount of hard work and effort they put into making this? Do you even realize that they were trying to bring back one of the most beloved video game series of

This was a amazing game when I did a playthrough on it last year.

one thing I loved about this is how the charge beam tractor effect from prime was added.

Official full name: "AM2R: Another Metroid 2 Remake - Return of Samus"

Man, the music is pretty amazing.

I never knew about this fan remake. Its quality is outstanding!

That Metroid evolution animation was amazing!

11:48 pause right here! ISN'T THAT CASPULE THE BRAIN FROM METROID FUSION!!! Edit: Am talking about the boss called [box] or the [security robot].

This Is true love for Metroid 😍😍😍😍😍😍

I didn't know you could kill the boss through damage alone, I thought you had to get swallowed at the end. I learned something today.

For some reason my heart rate goes up with every Metroid boss, they were really good at building tension
