Some screens

Here are the screenshots I promised.


Right before the main facility of area 5, Moheeks are pretty deadly underwater.

The water effects were redone, the blue tint is a lot less intrusive than before.

The upper part of area 5 isn't flooded. So it looks and plays like a traditional area.

The caves right before the final area.

This is the first normal metroid you encounter in the game.

Please bear in mind that things are improving all the time. The metroid sprite is made of smaller moving sprites, and still missing the electricity effect. It looks a lot better in motion.
Testing is still going on, now also including the late areas. The two big things that are going to be the final challenges in development are the Omega and Queen metroids, specially their AI and balance. 
I'll get back to coding, have a good week!

This looks awesome. I'm glad that you're taking the time to get everything right. I'm happy to wait as long as it takes if the finished product is as awesome as it looks like it's going to be :-)

Sehr schöne Arbeit. Der Wasserfall sieht Klasse aus, auch die Luftblasen unter Wasser gefallen mir sehr gut. Freue mich schon auf den Rest des Spiels. Wieter so !
Unknown said…
AMAZING! Absolutely beautiful design and colour scheme! You're almost there, Doc, just steamroll to the end so that the next demo is the full game (even if it needs modifying later on). Keep in touch and keep up the excellent work!
Unknown said…
This is amazing work!
Look at all those screen shots: they are so dang cool!
All the little effects and details!¨
I cant wait to see and play the Full Game!
I know that it is going to be so so so so so so so so so sooo cool and amazing!!!
Because the newest Demo 1.41 is pretty good too: it has the new area which is called Area 5?
That place looked pretty nice with all its details,lava,burned rock,enemies and the ambiance plus the amazing music!
And I think I know that were the final place is... or then it is just an unused area.
I really want to see how far the developer can take this game!
Because the Power Plant area and the Tank Prototype was pretty unexpected and the new area and the Zeta Metroid was so cool and nice sprites in it!
I really hope that the game will be released soon!!
Good work and complete it what you have started DoctorM64 !!!!!'

thank you so much for this project. i know its hard as hell, but keep up the good work!

Looks good, just that Metroid can get a little improvement. Other than that, I like it, I'm hoping for the new update and keep up the good work, Doc!
Unknown said…
Aw yiss!

Doc, do us all a favor and NEVER SHOW US screenshots of Omegas or the Queen. Let those be surprises to us!
Unknown said…
This looks absolutely great! I can't wait for the finished game! \o/
Of course, take all the time you need. A polished game which takes longer to finish is a thousand times better than a game that contains bugs because the game developer(s) had to rush. ^^

Looking awesome. So exciting to see the last areas coming together! Oh man I can't wait :D

Nice. Looking forward to the next public beta and whatever boss battle awaits the new area. Really hoping it's a giant metroid or a giant shark.

Thank you for bringing back my most loved game in a new vision. I cried at the end of m2 with the music,baby metroid friend the the end credits. Was my 1st beaten game, and I always played it again. That was me in 2nd grade always playing m2. It was more to me then just a pixel, it was my friend. Hope I dont tear up when I hear that baby metroid music and say goodbye to sr388 over again. Super metroid was a miracle to make such a trilogy. That brave big baby metroid. Thats what I want a metroid movie to do, make me care about the good monster.
Unknown said…
Wow the Environments and Backgrouds look absolutely breathtaking. You are an awesome man doc keep up the amazing work!
zachThePerson said…
I started following this project every since your "A little sick..." post the summer before I started middle school. Here I am 2/3 of the way through my freshman year of college still excited as ever for the release of this game XD

Keep up the good work doc, I know the wait will be worth it
Anonymous said…
Looks good. Can't wait to play it.
Unknown said…
I really like the design of this water level. even the metroid looks pretty good. I really want to see the acheivements in AM2R.

also I can see why the gravity suit/Screw Attack was left out in 1.4. otherwise Samus would
be more powerful and the levels would be easier and not challenging which the Challenge
is worth it in the game. so It's always good to challenge US all.

I'm pretty hyped to play this update. though I might not make the video on-time on my channel.
Even if Doc, ever watch my videos. Hopefully it does help him patch certain exploits and things.


Great Job. on following this Update doc ^^

The new tint to the water somewhat reminds me of Metroid: Fusion (no comment on whether that's a good or bad thing as it just reminds me of it XD). I really can't wait for the final release or any future demo! :)
Guardian said…
I wonder how the Omega Metroid will look now?
Unknown said…
The game's almost done and this looks awesome :DDD
Keep up the amazing work Doctor! Can't wait for the final product! :D
Unknown said…
The tile sets in the screenshots is incredible and makes the environment downright gorgeous, kudos to those who made it possible! Even the new metroid sprite is delightful to look at!

You and your creative team have came a long ways with this fan project, the progress has been rather impressive through out these years. I for one cannot say this for sure but it seems like you guys are drawing closer to this game's completion, and that is an exciting feeling. The future is looking promising, whither or not AM2R is close to being finish there is always room to polish the game and making sure it will be a great experience to the world!

Who knows what you guys will do once AM2R is done, perhaps there will be another fan game project? I don't know! Anyways, keep 'er steady guys!

This is so cool can't wait!
Unknown said…
Only 3 areas left guys, five, six, and seven! I just hope that Area 6 is made a lot bigger than it was, because it was way to small originally. I really loved the dark creepy feel of Area 6 right before the end with the low light visibility and the eerie darkness surrounding you.
Anonymous said…
Hm, the last screenshot doesn't quite convince me. It looks too much like "caves with revamped graphics" to it, rather than a more throrough reimagining of the area to keep the foreboding wrecked bio-facility feel of it. It's... slightly disappointing, when compared to the rest of the game and the buildup.

The original had a really heavy tone to the particular caves right before it. The different breeding grounds you made have probably closer direction to it, actually.

... Unless that's not actually the final area where that metroid is.

Man I am AMAZED someone went all this way to make this remake i am hopeful that this is going to be awesome! :D

Was Queen Metroids meant to be plural or just for the Omega? If you're doing more than one Queen, I can't wait to see how you incorporate that

In a way, it's sad, because that means it's over.

Hm i want Nintendo to look at this to see how dumb they are for ignoring this game.But at the same time maybe they should stay ignorant so that they don't shut down this project. Either way it's looking great. I also gave the demo a try and it's pretty much what the next 2D Metroid should play like. Great work!

The best game I ever played

I just want to say that this is the best thing that could happen to such a wonderful game... however, it requires a lot of time and dedication to achieve such a level of detail... This kind of work deserves a donation since my point of view...

I literally cannot wait for this. Nintendo should be grateful to you for your attention to detail and preservation of the Metroid franchise while also exceeding expectations. This is how all games should be made, without pause and without deadlines. I love the work you do and am following it closely. Thank you so much for everything you do!

Need a little help. How do you do a charge speed burst? There's the one green tank in the plant section (for lack of a better term) that I've seen done on walkthroughs but no idea how to execute it. Besides that, wonderful time playing this & can;t wait for the next update.

a remix of Rocky Maridia would be very good in the last area ... :)

Your work its so great!
That let me think when it gets released, is gonna be totally awesome, incoporating the gameplay even with a xbox 360 controller T.T tasting the full adventure in a super-duper-totally-cool remake of that classic game pocket : metroid II but no, this gonna be fully original, the design, music, but conservating the classic gameplay that everyone's love form this game saga XD.
We hope you finish so good to let everyone play n enjoy it !

Please don't release any pictures of the Omega and Queen Metroid, I'd like to be surprised.
UTAKA said…
I have to comment again, it's been awhile. But I check you website every couple of months for updates. I have played through your demo's before 100%. I honestly have to say of all the fan projects out there I have had the pleasure to play, yours by far has remained the most true to the original. I don't know how else to describe it but I feel like this remake is an official Nintendo one and personally I feel they should be using this as a release in some manner while rewarding you for your efforts. Honestly, great work, amazing talent, awesome job! Claps* Claps*

This is how you so a remake, you hold true to the original and you add new to enhance the overall experience. just awesome!
jordan said…
Just a suggestion, I think it would be cool if you could add some kind of cutscenes throughout the game. I know you have already put a ungodly amount of time into the game and I'm not trying to sound like a jerk, its just a suggestion. Again, I have no idea how to make a game nor am I sure how you make a cutscene. I think like how zero mission on the gba had a short scene of mother-brain/ridley on your elevator ride to the next area. This showed that you were being watched and left that eerie suspense of going where you are not supposed to being a badass bounty hunter and killing everything. I think it would be neat in AM2R if during each tunnel area before you enter the next big area, there would be some scene which shows the queen metroid getting angry/desperate as you get closer and kill all the metroids. Or another scene which shows something about the research team that got mauled. Maybe another could show the alpha/gamma metroid evolving or the same with the zetas. Then maybe another about the omegas and how much of a terror they will be.These would help build suspense and make you feel truly like you are down in some dangerous cave and the metroids are a huge threat to samus. Again, this is just a suggestion and it would be awesome to have these in the final game. You are the best Doc and I can't believe what this game has turned into. It will be truly a masterpiece and cutscenes would make it seem all the more real. Thank you for all you have done and don't get burned out. Take your time and make this the way you want to. You have worked too long to just rush to the end. You are the best.
Anonymous said…
a tip : use a remix of Rocky Maridia for the fifth area
Unknown said…
I know it's not in the original, but I think it'd be cool to somehow include a fight with Ridley. It could even be in a simulator buried further under sr388, like the chozo always intended to train samus to take out Ridley, but they were decimated before they had the chance to train her. I just think a metroid hame isn't really a metroid game until we hear the unmistakeable Ridley theme. Otherwise, amazing job. Can't wait for the final product.
Unknown said…
Why would you add the electricity effects to the homeworld Metroids? I can see why it was done in Super Metroid, showing that Mother Brain was controlling them. But this is SR388! They should look more feral and natural looking on the homeworld! I'd say to not worry about making them look too extravagant. You want them to look more like wild Metroids!

That aside, this has been an amazing project! Been following this for.... Well, I'm not entirely certain? Since 1.34 maybe? I've been updating my game every time you come out with a new patch for it! I'm SUPER excited to see what the final product is going to look like! Keep up the good work!
Doing a great job! CANNOT wait to play the final version!
Unknown said…
Everything looks amazing! I cannot wait to play it. Best Metroid game in ages. You have out nintendo at its own game. Why they never made a remake of this game is a wonder. All the metroid evolution fights are challenging an entertaining. I relish the thought of me first encounter with your omega metroid and the queen herself.

Is it sad that AM2R is more anticipated then the hot trash that Nintendo announced? I would pay for this way before paying for that monstrosity of a metroid game. The sad part is I will take AM2R as canon WAY before I take....that THING Nintendo calls a metroid game.

Thank you so much for this, i can see you have a passion for Metroid and it shows. M2 was one of my first gaming experiences so this has a special place in my heart. Just finished a round in SR388 and searched for extras to do and found this gem. All the enemies are harder esp. the Metroids where their armor actually blocks missiles. Adding all the 'next-gen' power-ups is a nice touch. Also the original game mechanics add a spice to the series never seen before, like the water treatment plant was one of my faves. Can't wait for the full game, keep up the extraordinary work.
AntZilla3000 said…
back again, i had reset my computer while keeping all of the files. the game works better now. I can click off and back into the game at will now. Not sure what was up before, but whatever issue that was present before the reset seems to be absent now. anyways, Doc, thanks for allowing us to play such a glorious game. I look forward to the release of 1.5 and also to the final completion of the game.

Unknown said…
Hi... again... I think that the music that sounds when you find an item, shuldn't be stopped by the user. The spider ball should be faster or the bomb timer should be slower because is very hard to crawl over the walls and set a bomb without being able to flee from the explosion... I know that the time that the bomb takes to explode in the original game is too much but it seems that is necessary. Awesome work indeed... I'm waiting for the final release. Thank you.
What if the bomb timer was slower only when Samus is in the spider ball?
Unknown said…
I'm really hoping the final stronghold music, (where you enter the final ruins) and see the egg and then the tempo change for the music when the final 9 metroids are detected isnt changed much, that music really sets the tempo as you fight your way to the queen. Keep it up doc!
