Project AM2R - Another Metroid 2 Remake

I just noticed the project has been public for over a year. I could´ve prepared something, a trailer, screenshots, anything, but it completely slipped my mind...

Since now I have to link the subscreen with the map screen, I need more flexibility to make transitions look better. I hope I can pull it off. I might change one or two things about Samus´ moves: - Change the s...
