Fans Make Awesome Re-Imagining Of Metroid Prime In The Absence Of An Official Game
With Metroid Prime 4 being stuck in development (or so they say) for half a decade, and the last game in the series is a game you could reportedly get at some point for three cents, fans have long been wishing for a Metroid game that doesn’t suck space pirate ass. Luckily, a team of fans called SCU recently released the demo for a remake of a fan favorite, Metroid Prime, the first and arguably best of the 3D Metroid games, but with the twist of bringing the whole thing back to 2D.
Does that make it a demake instead of a remake? We don’t know, and it doesn’t matter because either way, Nintendo will likely just try to destroy it as soon as possible. What we do know, however, is that shaving off one-third of the game’s dimensions somehow didn’t stop it from playing and feeling right. Metroid 2D manages to somehow capture the feeling of loneliness and entice players to explore instead of just shooting everything in sight — yeah, that’s a good thing, in this case.
