New Demo... New Name?
It´s been months since the project became public, and the first demo was released. At that time it was just a couple of test rooms and an improvised boss battle, but today it´s more than just that.
There´s people who still complain about Ridley not being in the original Metroid 2 game, they just don´t interpret the words "Tech Demo". So, in order to make things much more clear, I´ll give the demo a name.
This, from now on, will be a little game on its own. It has all the upgrades of the first demo, some new rooms, and the following new features:
- Jump Ball
- High Jump
- Spazer Beam
- A surprise at the end :-)
I´d like to hear some name suggestions from you. The game is unrelated to the Metroid storyline, keep that in mind. You can also write a small storyline, so I can add it in a small cutscene at the beginning. The whole game can be a training excercise, memories from past adventures, a parallel dimension, anything.
The only rule is the name format, It will be like this:
If your name is chosen you´ll be listed in the credits. This is just for the demo. Before the actual project is released I´ll be letting you pick a name for it.
You can post your suggestions here, or you can EMail me if you need to know any details of the game, so I don´t spoil any more surprises to the rest of the people.
Thanks in advance!

Metroid:Ridley's revenge.and I have also made my own storyline:1 year ago the galactic federation hired me to take out a whole base of space pirates and wipe out their leader:mother brain.the space pirates were also commanded by kraid and ridley. Ridley attempted to kill me on that mission but he did not succeed.after that mission on zebes I proceeded to one of the frigates,having almost escaped sudden death and stripped of most of my powers I followed a mechanized version of ridley to tallon IV where I thwarted his plans to use the power of metroid prime to take the galaxy by force.
after that I went to aether to stop the space pirates and the Ing from turning the planet into a twisted version.2 days later I thwarted the space pirates again and fought against mecha ridley in a fight to the death and thwarted dark samus whose plan was to cover the galaxy with phazon.
the metroids were to blame and worried that they might strike,the galactic federation hired me to take out the whole race of metroids.agreeing to the assignment I set out to SR388 to destroy them.But on the way my ship was shot down by a unknown space pirate vessel,I landed on a unkown planet right next to the space pirate ship.angrily I got out of my wrecked vessel and decided to destroy these space pirates once and for all.
I had no choice...
Previous efforts to find the remnants of Chozo settlements were focused on the primary worlds; the great cities and ecosystems with unique technology and inspirational culture relics. The station on Aurora III is nothing like that; only a passing reference to its existence was found on a Chozo record. The question remains though: why is it deserted? It was never threatened by war or disease, and the Chozo were a peaceful race, so why is it heavily armed and armoured?
Samus Aran, intergalactic bounty hunter, takes a small diversion from her epic adventures to investigate...
Metroid: Genesis
The Space Pirates are becoming a threat Federation might not be able to fight off. They have engaged in Guerrilla Warfare. Simple attacks with a powerful impact. In a recent attack on a Space Pirate frigate, the Federation was met with a deadly surprise. Ridley was aboard that ship. Fortuntaly Samus was there during the attack. She fought of Ridley and in the process, severely wounded him. When they had finnaly captured(or destroyed) the frigate Samus sent a message to her command. Unfortunatly several pirates got out in escape pods, including Ridley. She immeaditly got a message saying that becuse Ridley was so severley damaged, now would be the perfect time to finish off Ridley, once and for all. Using the ships computer she was able to track all of the escape pods. All of them went to the Space Pirate homeworld. Except for one. That one was the largest of all them and he only one that could fit Ridley in due to his size. That one went to planet SOUL-X. Samus realized that, that pod had gone there to repair Ridley. She immeaditly went their and found that the Space Pirates had a small underground research facility. She goes in the facility and discovers a terrible secret. The Space Pirates had been trying to use Samus's technology. (This is how she gets the power-ups). If the Space Pirates inplemented that technology into their soldiers, they would be unstoppable. She then takes the power-up for herself. She eventually finds where Ridley is and to her misfortune had already been repaired. So their you fight the end boss. Then Samus goes into the next room. She self-destructs the facility in an attempt to erase all knowlege of her technology. She then escapes in a time pressuerd situation.
Now I was thinking the Gameplay could begin like this: She gets of her ship. She goes through a few cooridoors, where people can try to get the basic controls down. At this time, she has no power-ups. No missiles or morph ball. But she can grab onto ledges and use a charge beam. Then she fights Ridley, BUT HE"S VERY WEAK. You can damage him with an ordinary beam shot. After, say like 30 hits, Ridley runs away. Then their is the cutscene where she goes after Ridley. She lands on SOUL-X, blah, blah, blah, and finnaly gets Ridley.
Personally I think this would be pretty cool because this would be a game where Samus get's the up-grades by stealing them from the Space Pirates( who stole them from Samus), and not from the Chozo.
And you might not have backgrounds for the opening fight with Ridley. If not you could just make some little text scroll thing that explains it.

ridley and kraid resurrected from their death and now are hunting down samus...ridley is now twice as strong as before and the space pirates were doing an experiment on kraid that went terribly wrong and now he is fused with phazon.
how does that sound...i say you do this for the demo.
after reading all the comments thus far i think it would be cool to go with the guy 4th from the top.
Samus being in a simulator that the federation came up with to better prepare her for the environment of SR388. That and you could include it with the actual game as a "training room" option
Lastly i think some cool names would be:
METROID: Simulation
METROID: Preparation
METROID: Pre-Mission
Yes, the other reason I suggested this idea is because you can incorporate the demo into the final game just like in any other game with a training trial walkthrough mission... thing...
This avoids lots of silly continuity messing plotlines, allows you to lead directly into Metroid II, and gives a simple reason that Ridley can exist in the title, as I'm sure the Federation would have combat data on him for training sessions.
Also, you can start the demo by giving some homage to Metroid Prime 3 and the Phaaze missions... establishing a proper place For Metroid II in the overall continuity.

(For the people out there who aren't intimately familiar with Ninja Gaiden and what the word means, yes I'm speaking to both of you, gaiden means side story.)
Time and time again, the greatest bounty hunter in the universe, Samus Aran, has challenged and defeated the space pirate menace and their attempts to harness the energy of the enigmatic organism known as a metroid.
At a Galactic Federation space station outpost, scientists have been working vigilantly to discover the secrets of harnessing the metroid's energy. But first, they must discover how to effectively contain the creature without bringing any of the crew to serious danger or harm. To that end, they have created a virtual reality machine more immersive and realistic than the world has ever known. But they need someone to enter the machine so they can begin gathering data. Someone capable of handling any threat in or out of the virtual world. They need Samus Aran.
But what they discover will lead the Galactic Federation to realize just how great a threat the metroid truly is...
Metroid II: Sons of Liberty.
It may just be me, but I found this hilarious.
this could be while samus was younger, her suit has always been the same size, if I recall.
technically, the chozo are aware of the space pirates so why don't they make this a simulation for samus to endure as a heads up to what she'll be facing in the future? Samus is already aware that her suit is capable of assimilating powers/upgrades from the chozo so that should be self explanitory
"Metroid: Flashback"
is the title I'll advise, given you use the history that this is a training simulation for Samus when she was younger, before the Chozo send her off to the world. after all, this has no ties with the Metroid 2 storyline, right?
------------------------
"Metroid R.E.M."
Samus Aran, known throughout galactic circles as The Hunter. Cold, mechanical, a woman with neither figurative nor literal dreams. Her dreams, as well as her memories before the age of 3, had been torn from her by means of a devastating Space Pirate attack along with the parents and peers she had once dwelled among on the Earth-like colony planet designated as "K2-L". The Chozo blood that had saved her from a slower yet guaranteed death had been a double-edged sword, one that had returned her life to her at the cost of removing her humanity. The ability to breathe and process an oxygenated atmosphere...gone. Emotions, once thought simply to be a process of the human mind itself but later found to use human blood as an essence of transferrence...gone. The ability to dream and experience R.E.M. sleep...gone. Without a doubt, Samus Aran, through unfortunate turns of circumstance, had become just as cold, unfeeling, and alien as those whose ultimate destruction she sought, either for financial gain or of her own vengeful recognizance. Aboard her hollowed secluded asteroid hideaway within the rings of the ancient gas giant "Zullustra", she would take stock of the days kills and count her profits and feel no remittance, allowing herself only the pleasure of being relaxed by the gentle hum of the environmental processors which pumped in an atmosphere unfit for man, beast, or most galactic species. When time came for sleep and hard training and religious discipline has finally helped her to put the demons of her own mind at ease, she would close her eyes and experience only blackness.
That was about to change...
Ten days ago, Samus Aran had been commissioned for an escort mission by the Galactic Federation, securing her protective services as well as her knowledge and experience base for scientists studying the lifeforms of the planet designated as "SR-388". Today, laying unconscious in a Galactic Federation infirmiry as a result of a newly discovered mysterious parasitic lifeform designated "X", she teeters on the brink of the death she has managed to sidestep for the last 31 years. Now, at the age of 34, with the parasitic "X" infection reeking havoc on her body as well as her mind and changing her physiology in subtle yet significant ways, Samus begins to do something she has never done before as the "X" infection overstimulates her subconscious.
She begins to dream...
------------------------
Hope you like. :)
for the final game i think it should be metroid: extinction , because except for the infant metroids on sr-388 were basically extinct because of samus.
or
metroid: Samus Return EX
This approach can be quite complex, since Samus has quite a personality. It takes a special kind of woman to do that kind of job, specially after the traumatizing event at K2L (This is evident in the first encounter with Ridley in the manga, she shows sympthoms of post traumatic stress dissorder).
A game that takes place in her mind can be really interesting to play, and it could expose much more of this enigmatic bounty hunter. The demo is not big nor complex enough for this idea.
I liked the training simulation ideas for now. It can be a specific training for the SR388 mission, or it could be a standard training, and at the ending cutscene we can show an incoming call for the Federation, with her next assignment: Exterminate the Metroids.
What do you think?
anyway that sounds good to me
Metroid: The Samus Aran Chronicles
DoctorM64 = Master
AM2R is great!!!!
well, Doc, I have a question regarding the X incident. Is that when she knocks out because the X parasite assimilated her?
You could use that as part of the story for the ending. Have this demo run through, for the conclusion after defeating Ridley, the baby metroid you once saved could communicate with you, just a few chirps, then Samus wakes up from the dream as her armor is changed and is informed from the scientists that they injected the Metroid's serum into her to stop the X parasites from killing her.
Did you want this demo's story to come before or after Metroid II?
If it's before, let this all be a dream. For the conclusion, let her wake up in her ship while it's on it's destination towards SR-388, like moments before entering the atmosphere. You could have Adam talk to her and ask, "Are you alright, lady?" as she's donning her armor and waiting for the ship to land to perform her mission; exterminate the metroids. Hopefully the Adam thing isn't too much of a paradox.
Anyways, you don't want the story to be too complicated, this is only a demo! Make it as simple as possible and try not to have too much dialogue. We don't want you stalling your DEMO, ffs ]:
I still advise my original title, Metroid: Flash Back
or maybe
Metroid: Recollection?
i've played though all the games and read some of the manga?? do they ever say?
i wonder when does adam kick the bucket?
i've played though all the games and read some of the manga?? do they ever say?
___________________
Adam Malkovich ?? I have until 5th chapter manga, and in she says what Adam tell to Samus, he say her that she haves 48 Hours to save Zebes, before the federation galactic police...
I have understanded that Adam deads to save Samus. In chronologic terms, this pass in Super Metroid (Metroid 3)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLllo4B9DUw
And then have it start up and change into the tech demo.
Then at the end you get a rating based on completion time and collectable percent.
As for the actual game its self, Id hope that it stays simple. Metroid 2 Remake does just fine for me. Id hate for it to have a stupid subname or w.e. It is a remake of Metroid 2 so I think it should be along those line. Maybe even something like Metroid 2: Rebirth.
Since Ridley's the final boss (i think?) this could be Samuses revenge on Ridley by hunting him down to defeat him once and for all. It could take place after Super Metroid on a small planet that was formerly used by the Chozo as a base, or maybe a meteor that Ridley is hiding out on, the federation had finally targeted his location and has sent samus to finish him once and for all. This could explain how the federation captured and froze Ridley in Fusion. I also like what soulx said Metroid: Genisis
metroid refection
metroid 2 the evolution
metroid 2 shattered life
metroid 2 revenge of metroids
metroid mutation
How about
Metroid: zero point five mission
being that its after zero and its b4 return of samus
(i'm kidding)
If it's all a simulation, why would the player want to play through it? Unless the simulation glitches and Samus suddenly has to escape the simulation before being killed by it.
if any of these ideas are used please put in the credits " John Major" as the name. even though there are more ideas and other name ideas and plots for the tech demo may fit the the story line better. i just want to put my name in, because i'm posting as anonymous
If you use any of these ideas, go ahead and contact me at supersonic227@gmail.com. I'd love to get an idea of what you decide.
The main justification for the training, I'd say, would be the fact that the first Federation hunter group was wiped out. This mission is especially dangerous, so both Samus and the Feds want to be sure she gets a feel for the SR388 environment and is up for the task, even if they lack sufficient Metroid data.

lol i was not being serious on the first one, but if you chose it, i won't deny being in the credits. Please chose me! I WILL SERVE YOU UNTIL THE END (im very loyal)
It’s a simple idea really; have the Demo being a dream that Samus is having.
(Does anyone else have a problem with Blogspot forgetting your login even tho you told it to remember you? Mine randomly logs me out without warning after about 2 days of being logged in)
The metroids started getting out of control while Samus was still young and living with the Chozo. It’s in the manga! Here’s a name for the final version:
Metroid: Extinction
...nice right?
It suits the game perfectly! Samus is sent to destroy all of the metroids. Thus making them go extinct. Also, if Dread is used, you could get sued, and what would happen if Dread actually came out?
nah...
I like "extinction" for the final game.
As for the demo, the simulation idea can be very easy going and light (unlike the usually heavy metroid atmosphere). It can be about a bunch of hunters making fun of samus, and to prove them wrong, she has to beat the fastest time for the simulation. That way you can get some practice on the multiple endings and see if your estimation for completion times is accurate. And if you decide to have it in the final game somehow, you can make it so that the better you do in the actual game, you can unlock different hunters or you can carry over unlocked abilities (like the speed booster) to help get faster times.
Metroid: Training
Metroid: Pre-Extinction (i like this one)
Metroid: Tech Demo
Metroid: Identity (and this one)
Pre-Extinction- obviously before the actual extinction, or game.
Identity- taking a look at what has made samus what she is today, or up to the second game. (bosses power-ups ect.)
Since the demo is a simulation of SR388, I think the title is fitting.
metroid: SR388 Doom
metroid:SR388 Uprising
Metroid:SR388 Underground
To anyone that thinks "Extinction" is good: It's already been done. It was the name of another Metroid 2 remake project that got cancelled a few years ago. See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9e-cuflCYg
Yeah i should know, i was on the dev team. :P
At the end, you could show Samus coming out of a Save Room type thing and a message saying "Congratulations, you beat the Simulation!"
METROID:Subsistence
METROID:Existence
After escaping the destruction of the planate Zebes, Samus comes across the remnants of a transport ship bearing the markings of Ceres Station. She is able to retrieve the ships logs which show that it was attacked by space pirates a mere hour after the destruction of Ceres Station, and that the pirates stole the ships cargo, which, fir security reasons, remains unlisted.
Fearing that the pirates were able to steal Metroid DNA from the ship, Samus speeds off in the direction the attacking ships left. She soon finds an uncharted planet in a star system adjacent to Zebes's. Upon landing, she finds that the planet has been terraformed in the mold of SR388, making it a perfect breeding ground for Metroids...
It's an illustration of both the theme of the game and the fact it's remade
I think that's a good enough idea for an entire game to be made off of it. (This one might be too small)
I came up with some names
Metriod: Reflection(s)
Metriod: Shadows of the Past
Metriod: False Memories
Metriod: Reflections of Reality
Metriod: Reflections into Dreams
Metriod: Dust to Dreams
Metriod: In the grip of Death
Metriod: Death's Grasp
Metroid: Evoloution!
That is a great name! I think that i should be the name for the final game if extinction isnt picked.
Since there's a baby Metroid at the end.
