Looks hot. I'll hit this up tomorrow with a dualshock 4.

I'm enjoying it quite a bit. Haven't spent this much time on a game in aaaaaa loooooooooong while, got about 4 hours into it. My only complaint is the xbox360 controller on my pc the analog is a little touchy. Especially when trying to aim upwards. Easily remedied, use the digital pad! Man the music rocks in this..

BigusSchmuck · 08/07/2016, 09:15 PM

And taken down. Christ that was quick.

Edit: Well just the fansite, better get it quick before the Big N clamps down on it!

It's still up, it's only Metroid Database that got the DMCA. If you go to AM2R's actual website it's still there, and up and fine.

Video I made:

I'm loving the sound track. It's a listen to one definitely. Only played 5 mins this morning as I have a hospital appointment but I'm enjoying it so far. It's very smooth.

Opethian · 08/08/2016, 10:31 AM

Got to Kriad. I love what they did with this game even the water area with a Meridia sounding track. Awesome work! 10/10 would buy again

Looks like Nintendo sent out a C&D, so people need to get on this soon. I downloaded it, but haven't had a chance to play it yet

Looks like the mediafire links and such from the main site are gone.

You can still torrent it...

wildfruit · 08/09/2016, 04:01 PM

I can confirm a DS4 is great for this. I'm well I'm the way to making the DS4 my favourite controller. It's almost perfect.

BigusSchmuck · 08/10/2016, 09:34 AM

Just finished it last night a little under 7 hours. One hell of a game!

wildfruit · 08/13/2016, 01:03 AM

Still playing through a little at a time. Still enthralled. Surprised not more interest in this thread.

I'm playing through Confrontation right now before starting AM2R and am impressed so far.

Speedy · 08/15/2016, 01:07 AM

Finished it yesterday; I came in with low expectations but ended up really liking it, it's definitely on par with official Metroid games. I wish Nintendo didn't take it down

I'm at 57% three hours in, and completely blown away so far.

I downloaded it shortly after it released and only spent a few minutes with it, but I was impressed. I hope to put more time into it.

NightWolve · 08/15/2016, 09:15 PM

They offer an alternative Metroid game as well.

Yeah, I've decided I'm gonna take the distraction and beat it after I build up my new Windows installation, copy over all my legacy work/music/game folders, install my usual favorite software, etc.

Went ahead and upgraded from Vista 32-bit after ~8 years on this old AMD Triple-Core 2.1 GHz PC workhorse to...Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. Finally got it stable, it was tough to get all the hundreds of Microsoft patches installed at once, had crashes doing it, unknown failures, even the update agent gets broken after a clean install of Win 7 Service Pack 1 which required much research on what patch to find to fix it...

Anyway, I tried the game again on my new set up, worked with no problems whatsoever. Felghana crashes (but that's on me, I can probably fix it), Ys VI works (both DirectX8-9 games), Ys I & II Complete which are older DirectX5 games have palette problems no matter what compatibility settings you try though.

I've been toying with putting Ubuntu on an old AMD Athlon X2 pc I have.

just saw this, thankfully this spread quickly so the big N cant do anything about it now.

blueraven · 08/18/2016, 07:32 PM

Thanks for the heads up on this, I will try to make it work tonight!

Is this an emu game? I don't know very much about emulators.

Quick edit:

"Sorry, the page you were looking for in this blog does not exist."
...

So how do you get this to work? Do you have to buy it? Or did nintendo already nuke this project and stop all downloads?

Groover · 08/18/2016, 09:34 PM

I just found out about Wineskin for this on the mac. I can't seem to get controller support so I need to get the controller keyboard mapped. It has been a while since I did that. I forget how to do the controller keyboard mapping.

Its not a emu game and you can get it here: http://am2r.freeforums.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1639

Finished it the other night on Normal: 83%, 5:08. Fantastic game, definitely fits right in with the last few 2D Metroid releases in quality, challenge, and polish. This is what Nintendo should've released for the DS.

And now, hard mode.

It said that downloads were stopped because of cease and desist letters. Can you still get the game? What is the process?
