Metroid: SR388 Trailer Unveiled!
04.23.08

Hello everyone, we have some great Metroid news today. After years of staying shrouded in secret, independent game developer/composer Von Richter has blessed us with a glimpse of what could be the greatest Metroid Fan Game EVER MADE. It is called Metroid: SR388, and to fans like us, the title alone instantly brings fond memories of the metroid's birthplace to our heads. Other than completely new graphics with contributions from yours truly, the game also features Super Metroid's beloved Samus sprite, but now with hundreds of more frames of animation to allow super-smooth 60fps movement. It also has phenomenal particle effects and explosions, bringing 2D adventure gaming to the next level. You can choose to watch the YouTube version or directly download the higher-quality trailer exclusively from the MDb hosted through FilePlanet. It's a good time to be a Metroid fan, folks. This one looks like it's here to stay!

Also ran into the rumor:

The first rumor has it that Retro Studios is interested in updating Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2 for the Wii using Prime 3's acclaimed Wiimote controls. This is certainly likely, considering there had been a rumor before the Wii launched that old Gamecube games would be updated for the Wii as budget titles. At the same time, it is highly unlikely that any other significant changes will be made to the games (you should not expect to find updated graphics, for instance, though it's possible the audio might be remastered at a higher quality), though we can only hope that Retro will clear up the discrepancies between the US and EU/JP/AU versions of Metroid Prime's narrative, which have caused so much confusion and frustration among fans.

My metroid dreams would come true if they doing do it...

And re-release games Metroid Prime 1 and 2 been confirmed for Wii in next year. Prices will be $30 each.

Tip: Pikmin and Pikmin 2 also confirmed for re-released as Wii verions too. So is other GCN games too. I wonder what's new with Wii version of GCN games? Perhaps more features and upgraded controls?

This SSR388 game is promising, but there has been about 10 or so of them at least. This one is going well though and the demo version was promising.

When will nintendo wake up and remake sr388.... sigh
