About the name...
While I was reading the comments of the last post these days, I noticed how many cool names people suggested for AM2R. I was thinking of choosing a name when the project is near completion, but I don´t see why we can´t choose one now.
The name will be officially be used when the game is released, for now AM2R works well, people know the project by that name and unless the game is released, there´s no need to confuse people. Even the Confrontation demo made some people think the game was done. I won´t be using any name that has SR388 in it, just to avoid even more confusion with VonRichter´s project.
Here are some of the coolest names you suggested, I made a little poll to see which ones you like more.

but the last metroid sounds cool as well.
its great to see this game finally getting close to done after watching it for so long.
thanks so much to Dr. and all those who made this possible.
And any Metroid fan can understand that. ;)
Sorry it that long, bye.
I went with Zero mission 2, because that tied in closer to me.
A small nit-pick tho: I don't think Zero Mission II makes sense, because the fact that its "2", means it's no longer "zero".
But none of the names really I think fits to how good your project is. Since the name will affect the persons decision to download your game or not.
Zero Mission II? Come on...
To Sean, DrM64 is busy, and I'm sure he's got so many emails that he's been a bit overwhelmed. Though I may be wrong.
The Last Metroid is okay, but it's been pointed out that it doesn't really fit. It would be more appropriate for a Super Metroid remake.
Zero mission 2 just doesn't make sense, and as has been said, The Last Metroid would only be valid for a Super Metroid remake since that one actualy IS about the last metroid.
Extermination/ Termination/ etc. just seems kinda cheesy. Evolution sounds better to me bacause:
1 - It will(if finished) be an improved version of Metroid 2, and;
2 - We fight the many life stages of the Metroid species troughout the game.
It would have had my vote if it was. Otherwise, evolution/extinction sound fine.
This is only if "the last metroid" is chosen (i think it should be AM2R: The last metroid though, but nevermind).
What if the starting sequence told something like: "This the story of my mission to SR388, the story of how I met the last metroid...". Just as in confrontation, which tells she was trying something a training program
it's technically the sixth mission, not including whatever game comes in between thanks to MP3:C's secret ending
And the fact that it sounds so much like an already used title is just lame
Other than that, the rest of the suggestions seem fine
It WOULD work as a title if done correctly, I.E. If the original Metroid and Metroid 2 are not treated as separate missions, but the same continued mission. Think about it. The missions are the same. In both you are sent to destroy the Metroids in a certain area. It could be treated as if she completed her mission on Zebes and The Galactic Federation she wasn't done and sent her to exterminate them on SR388. If you have a question reply to this comment.
I can´t wait!!!
I do think that the Last metroid is the best, who ever played super metroid will know what I'm talking about "The LAST METROID is in captivity, the galaxy is at peace"
Metroid II: Remake of Samus
Metroid II: Dread of Samus
first i thought about The REMAKE title, but the gameplay is a little better then the original,so...
So Mr.M we are watching this for such a long time now,and we are all happy to see that the popularity is still growing :)
Thanks anyone for the work ^_^
that's why The last metroid would better fit for Super Metroid
evolution also reminds me too much of pokemon
- Metroid Evolution or
- Metroid: Second Mission due to the fact that it's a remake like the zero mission, or... wait why is it second mission if there were the primes too? I'm confused. :S
By the way I'm looking at this remake two years ago, though I was too shy to post :P, great job Doc :D
"Extermination" is one of the best options IMO, since that's what the mission actually is--an extermination of the metroids.
"The Last Metroid" doesn't sound half bad though.
ATT. NUCLEO
MODESTO Y APARTE SOY UNOS DE LOS QUE MAS SAVE SOBRE LA HISTORIA DE LA SAGA ENTERA DE METROID
Evolution is too "pokemon" and it would fit only if metroids started evolving only by some event within that game.
Extermination is the best so far, I guess, maybe "the extermination", maybe not.
Extinction...hmm...nope
Termination... well, extermination sounds better.
I Agree that The Last Metroid would rather be for a Super Metroid Remake.
Return of Samus Remake is simple but good. Someone suggested "Remake of Samus", which is a clever one.
Metroid Zero Mission II is downright retarded, guess there were enough posts saying why.
Metroid: Second Mission is uncreative as it gets. If this was a M2 remake hack on a Mzm GBA rom, then it could fit.
If I am to suggest a new name (I did, in an some more older post)
I stay with Metroid Requiem.
(And yeah, I also didn't get a email reply. Hope it wasn't because my midi sucks ;)

)
Eradication
"Aran's Me2Roid Hunt" or something.
I can't say the same for everyone, but I know I distinctly recognize this project by the four letters I've seen for a while now.
Demolition
Eradication
Carnage
Obliteration
Slugfest
Bloodshed
Erasure
Genocide
Massacre
Purge
Wipeout
Expunction
Extinguishment
Annihilation
Pulverization
Enough crappy adjectives?
Just keep AM2R, "accomplished metroid 2 remake". It will probably be the only one to be finished anyway.
The Last Metroid is not the purpose of this mission either, it's the purpose of Super Metroid.
Names like "Metroid : Extinction" might sound a bit cheesy, but they at least describe the purpose of this mission perfectly : the Exctinction/Termination/Destruction/Whatever of the Metroid species.
Yes, Samus has "failed" that mission, but it's still the mission of this game.
I know "Second Mission" is currently winning the poll, but i really hope a different name will be chosen anyway, it'd be a shame if the first thing the player sees on the title screen is... a silly contradiction.
Metroid Zero Mission II Return of Samus?
Diria que es un buen nombre xq como extermination y evolution te sirvieran si tubieras planeado hacer otro remake que seria el de super metroid y the last metroid no da simplemente por ser segundo metroid seria que seria o el primero o el ultimo. Bueno este fue mi comentario espero lo allas leido y igual como siempre te deseo suerte en este proyecto.
for all the random adjectives names, replace "metroid" with "AM2R" because we've had the name since the start
2nd if this was an actual Marketed game, it would make good sales if it was kept with the Metroid II name. As Firespawn7 pointed out If you were looking for Metroid II on the Internet what would you find. If this doesn't have Metroid II in the name other than random keywords it wouldn't be top of the list like it is now. However since this is not going in retail stores I wouldn't go with it, but I'm sure Nintendo would throw it in as Metroid: Second Mission just to keep with the Zero Mission style.
As stated earlier The Last Metroid wouldn't work however if its a must then I would go with AM2R: The Last Metroid.
Dr.M64 If you ever do a Super Metroid Remake...
"SMR: The Last Metroid"
If Second Mission gets the Vote then I want a Re-Vote.
My suggestion as before is
"Metroid: Homeworld"
or
"Metroid2: Homeworld"
Something else to think about. While I like the name AM2R since we all already know it as that. When I think of the title I think, "Oh, it's just Another Metroid 2 Remake". What if you dropped "Another" and just labeled it as "M2R" (Metroid 2 Remake).
Dare I say
"M2R: The Last Metroid"
or
"M2R: Metroid Homeworld"
or if thats redundant
"M2R: Homeworld"
I am Brazilian and share the production has a couple of years to sue the very good work ....
Michael Raflik here.
I'm honored to be mentioned, it's great to work with you.
Can't wait for a next update. =D
Here's my blog, btw:
legendsofzeranoth.blogspot.com
P.S. How about naming the game "Metroid: Execution"?
Mochtroid: AM2R
XD
As has already been mentioned
Metroid: Annihilation
Metroid: Extinction
Metroid: Obliteration
or some similar working seem the best of the rename ideas.
So "Metroid II: Evolution" or "Metroid II: Extinction" would be great.
"Metroid Countdown" maybe
I think in the title screen name, the number shouldn't be present. Like in M3 and M4 it shows a little text prompt like "METROID 2" then it shows the big title image itself.
It's hard to get a decide in a good name. Most of these I-wanna-be-badass names end sounding cheesy.
If you make any change to the poll list, will we be able to vote again?
ps. congratulations for you work.. nintendo should hire you xD
Metroid II: Project Dread.
Chronologically it ties in more with Metroid Prime 3 with that title. Though it probably make more sense if Space Pirates were in this remake.
I honestly found the choices to be a bit subpar.
I think we should go with Metroid AM2R, redundancies aside.
The poll options are all cheesy and terrible. :/
Metroid: Extinction - there was a project with this name also not finished
I like this one:
Metroid II: Return of Samus Remake
Metroid Zero Mission II - this mission is not like one on Zebes and it is not a 'zero mission' ...
Metroid: Second Mission - too trivial for me...
I would like to give another name:
Metroid: Homeworld
or Metroid: Metroids Homeworld
how do you like this one?
I'd even be happy if it just stays "AM2R", but perhaps the "Another" should be changed to a different word like "Advance(d)" to play off the Gameboy Advance name from which the sprites and style come from. Or it could just plain stand for "Awesome".
Just some ideas.
or use both---
Metroid II: AM2R
and the title card could be laid out with the original Metroid II logo in the middle with "another" on top and "remake" below
http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/9655/am2rcolor.jpg
http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/2797/am2rtitle.jpg
eh? eh?
Ooh, I have one. Weren't you going to add a secret plot twist in there (hence the new area)? Name it based on that, and make us guess!
Also, someone above suggested increasing the metroid count in the game. I do think 39 metroids is a little too low. However, I think the main areas of the game probably already have enough metroid fights. The final area of the game with the normal metroids, though, is fairly short. You could probably expand the area and add more metroids there before the queen.
metroid: second mission not only is terribly wrong but it also sounds bad. its her sixth mission as bounty hunter as far as we know...
im for evolution because thats what we are seeing in the game. and it soudns good...
Also I have something to ask of you when AM2R is finished... I am Making a game called "Metroid: Project Arcturis" and was wondering if you could lend me assistance with making it, It will be a VERY LARGE game, A 3D First-Person-Shooter like the Prime Series, but better than any other game before it. It is a Big Project and I need help, if You could it would be great, Im on this Site Daily: http://federationarchives.hyperboards.com/
Oh and the funny thing is... Arcturis takes place After Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, which means it also takes place before Metroid 2.
It may not be on the ballot, but that gets my vote.
It would be pretty dissapointing if the most solid and most anticipated Metroid fan game ended up with a title that wasnt very suiting.
And I cant see DrM64 beeing all that pleased to name his project Second Mission...
Most of the names won't fit if you hold the standard of "the name later becomes a misnomer due to the stories of future games in the time-line". I don't think that should be any concern. What matters is THIS story, THIS moment of the time-line.
To the one guy: Metroid II comes after Prime, not before.
felicitaciones y que bueno que ya estes buscandole un nombre al juego eso demuestra un gran avance.
I was thinking Extermination but its a bit of a mouthful, instead I think "Metroid: Extinction" fits best of the ones in the list.
uhh... no, the real Michael Raflik has already commented here and it wasn't you.
A2MR just seems...right, after all of this time. My personal suggestion: A2MR: The Return of Samus.
This
AM2R: The Return of Samus
OR
AM2R: The Last Metroid
FAR greater than any of the others I've seen suggested IMO.
@heheikki
Chill man ^^. "youcancontactme" just wanted to show approval for "Metroid: Execution".
@youcancontactme
BTW, thanks "youcancontactme"! =D
Well, I would be glad to see that mini boss in action anytime soon...
If you're curious then you can check out my blog at:
legendsofzeranoth.blogspot.com
Take care!
They can C&D him now to make him stop working, but he can always "leak" the source code to (hopefully) let someone else finish.
In any case, hopefully we will be home free within the next year when he finally starts distribution.
You could also reverse it to be something like this:
The Return of Samus:
A Metroid 2 Remake
So AM2R becomes the subtitle. The "Remake" could also be substituted with Remembrance, Re-imagining, Revisit, Re-envision, etc. Although I don't know if it's a good idea to completely rip off the original title or not, given that the game given that Nintendo could send C&D orders at any time. It almost seems like it would be better to have LESS in common with the original title.
This is the only name I actually really like! It fits, it's actually makes you think it's a remake, not a game, whilst stating it's your own work.
Look at all the votes.
Summary: 1193 votes as of right now.
And it looks like most people who voted don't know shit about a worthy namesake, but it shows that your project is HUGE! Which means when you evetually release the game you're going to need more several downloading sites. Which you seems to have already addressed with your demos, but I think when it's released there will be a flood of downloading.
Yes please add more than 39 Metroids. You should add more Omega's, Zeta's, and a couple random places where you fight Alpha's in between fighting high evolutions of Metroids.
Will there be another blog post for this month? I check daily, and I'm sure everyone else does too.
Well, if I can help in anyway you have my email. Like maybe new tile sets?
SE LAS VOY A DEJAR PARA QUE SE LA APRENDAN
1. Metroid/Metroid: Zero Mission
2. Metroid Prime
3. Metroid Prime: Hunters
4. Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
5. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
6. Metroid II: Return of Samus
7. Super Metroid
8. Metroid: Other M
9. Metroid Fusion
PORFAVOR APRENDANSE ESO Y HABLEN CON LOS QUE SAVEN. ATT. EL NUCLEO
Metroid Evolution
I like this one. It makes sense. I don't care if "DragonBall ruined it" or "it remembers me of Pokémon". It has a nice ring to it and it makes sense while not contradicting anything in the timeline. It also refers to the remake nature of the game. It also fits with the other names like "Fusion" and "Zero Mission" well.
Metroid Extermination
I don't like this one. I think it's the worse among the Genocide/Assassination/Whatever. It sounds bad and it's too cheesy.
Metroid Extinction
I think this is the best option among the Killing/Hunt/Whatever. It has a nice ring, makes more sense that Extermination, and it's slightly less cheesy. I voted for this one. It also fits with the other names like "Fusion" and "Zero Mission" well.
Metroid Termination
Sounds slightly better than extermination. Still cheesy as hell.
The Last Metroid
Good one. Yes, I know it only makes sense in the end of the game, and it would be better suited to a Super Metroid remake. However, I doubt anyone is EVER going to remake Super Metroid because it is friggin' perfect. Also, I'm not sure what is the official plural form of "Metroid". Is it metroids or simply metroid? If "Metroid" can refer to many metroid(s), this would fit perfectly. You could just name it "The Last Metroids" too, I guess. But it doesn't sound as nice.
Metroid II Return of Samus Remake
Personally, I think putting "remake" in the title sounds really really bad. It feels tacked on and lazy. When Nintendo remade Metroid they gave it a cool name. Let's do the same here.
Metroid Zero Mission II
This one makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
Metroid Second Mission
Several problems. If you don't count Prime games, jumping from Zero to Second is weird as hell. If you do, it's not the second mission either way. So yeah. I don't know why it's winning.
Some more suggestions anyway:
The End of Metroid(s)
Don't know about this one, personally. Just throwing it out there.
Metroid Nest
This one is weird because it's not Metroidy, but it's kinda good.
Metroid Survival
Both Samus's and the metroids'.
Metroid Legacy
Refers to the fact that by the end one metroid is alive and will carry on the legacy and also to the remake nature of the game.
Metroid Abstersion.
Metroid Extirpation.
Metroid Suppression.
Metroid: Epidemic
Metroid: Infestation
War of the Metroid
Metroid: The Samus Invasion
The Metroid Conflict
Metroid: Decolonization
Samus: The Walking Tank
Samus: The Metroid Killer
Metroid: Pest Control
Serious Samus II: The Next Encounter
Metroid: Into the Deep
Knee Deep in Metroids
All Your Metroids Are Belong to Us!
Really I could go on forever with this crap.
Just leave it as AM2R. Personally since it is a Metroid 2 Remake and not a entirely new game I vote for keeping the name. Maybe do like what someone showed with the original Metroid II title with "Another" on top and "Remake" on the bottom.
It isn't even samus' second mission.

Yo voy a ofrecer nombres pero si alguien propone otro, por favor lea mi comment y haga lo que le pido:
Metroid: The total hunt
AM2R: The Samus Remake
AM2R: SR388 Mission
AM2R: The Metroid Hatchling
Metroid: Battle of Metroid Homeworld
Doc. se de que ya terminaste los items y que estas en el diseño de la Queen Metroid y todo eso pero si lanzas una actualizacion. Trabaja en una especie de scan visor que se controle como el X-ray Scope de Super Metroid. Que puedas escanear los metroids y una galeria con imagenes originales que usaste (Aunque esto haya sonado como un capricho). Le da mas Replay Value a el juego.
Una cosa mas doc. Felicidades por tu juego. Es bueno ver que los Gringos,Japoneses y Europeos no sean los unicos que hacen videojuegos. Yo tambien pienso hacer un juego pero esto sera en como 20 años. Aun soy un chaval.
Una cosa mas, tu eres el mejor indicado para un remake de Super Metroid (aunque prefiero que nadie haga uno, ese juego es una joya).
Si tomas en cuenta mi idea, me puedes poner credito al simplemente ponerme como "Un loco que nadie entiende..."
Nintendo en serio deberia contratarte por tu trabajo Xd.
Una nota mas:Entren a la siguiente pagina
http://www.mangitoycomicshow.blogspot.com/
Bye y espero que nintendo no te cache nunca o hasta que sea muy tarde. :)
Quisiera agregar que podrias poner un video de introduccion al principio en el que (a base de la serie Prime), se explique porque La Federación Galactica tomo la decision de exterminar a los metroids por completo
El Scan Visor que te comente podrias ponerlo como un extra en una segunda vuelta del juego o poniendo un modo de juego basado en la introduccion de Metroid Fusion (eso de capturar las criaturas del planeta y solo escanear a los metroids)(OBIAMENTE esto seria para una actualizacion)
Para los 3 diferentes finales yo propongo lo siguiente:
Final Bueno: Que sea el final original de Metroid 2: Return of Samus. Con la diferencia de que no solo un Metroid sobrevive, sino que otros 2 tambien, pero que Samus no los encuentra y se quedan en SR388.
Final Regular: Samus escapa a duras penas del planeta con el Metroid en un estado critico. Se nos revela en una escena estilo del final de Metroid: Zero Mission de que los Chozo tenian a los Metroids como mascotas y que algunos se fueron con ellos cuando se fueron de SR388
Final Malo: Samus apenas escapa con su vida, el ultimo Metroid muere alli y que el planeta entero sufre un terrible terremote destrozando las ruinas, las cuevas subterraneas y la superficie, que se enfoque una escena al casco de Samus en el que se vea destrozada y triste por esta tragedia al saber que fue su culpa de manera indirecta.
Seguro habra mejores finales, pero esos son los mejores que se me ocurren. Si vas a usar una de estas ideas, me puedes poner el credito simplemente como "Un loco que nadie entiende..."
Buena suerte y ya termina el juego lo mas pronto posible :)
It´s the name closer to be "the true"
Metroid Zero Mission podría considerarse una expanción del Metroid clásico, ya que tiene unos sectores añadidos y son Chozodia, Crateria, Nave Nodriza, etc...
Lean y averiguen un poco sobre el juego, no se guien tanto por su lógica ;)
Sure, but what color would you like the logo to be?
Well, the color orange just feels too bright compared to the color of the rest of the screen. Try experimenting with other colors, such as a darker red or maybe purple. The color isn't a major problem, it just feels a little out of place. Maybe you could even just use a darker orange. Also, is it possible to use a slightly less bland text for the Evolution subtitle? It doesn't have to be some fancy cursive text, just something that would look a little more special and attractive to the eye. Other than those two things I think that this is a very nice looking title screen. Please make some more.

How can that guy talk about cheesy then propose the title of "Legacy".
That word just spells retarded.
Metroids aren't evolving in metroid 2, they're just going to the next stage in their life cycle.
Moths don't "evolve" when they change from the larva to the flying insect. You people been having too much pokemon on your heads.
You know the title CAN be changed, i just like that one the best, and i have never played a pokemon game before.
- in Super Metroid there is une gigantic metroid and it's on Super Famicom/Nintendo,
- in Fusion, Samus merge with metroid DNA (kind of),
- in Prime there is a 1st person view (prime / first...) and a creature called Metroid Prime,
- in Echoes there are two world responding the one to the other,
- in Corruption, Samus is corrupted
- in Zero Mission, Samus is starting it's first mission.
So, what happen in that game ? Samus is trying to genocide, to exterminate, to extinct the metroid race.
In the pool, "Metroid: Extermination", "Metroid: Extinction" and "Metroid: Termination" follow this logic, and that's why IMHO one of them should be choosed.
I voted for "Metroid: Extinction" because the name is not too agresive and sound well.
There are lots of short engine-test metroid fangames out there and they almost all have names like "Metroid: Insurrection" or "Metroid: Rebellion" or "Metroid: Fancy Sounding Word Here", and they all sound pretty naff because they can't live up to the strength of the word they choose, and that's devalued all the "cool" sounding words, so I think "Metroid: Extinction" and "Metroid: Extermination" shouldn't be used.
As several people have pointed out, it isn't actually the last metroid, or Samus' second mission, so those don't really work either.
Return of Samus Remake is just a mouthful, and Metroid Zero Mission 2 sounds bad because then it's a sequel to zero mission, which it isn't for the same reason that metroid: second mission can't be used.
My suggestion is to stick with AM2R, or do a revamped version of the original game's start screen, with Metroid, the II beneath it, and then underneath that the word Remake.
Although a huge amount of effort has been put into extras and level design and new areas, AM2R has, at least in my opinion, always been a homage to the original Metroid II. A newer, bigger, better version with everything we liked about the original and even more. As such I think the title should suggest this. It shouldn't associate itself with Metroid or Zero Mission, nor should it pretend to be a whole new game with a new subtitle. Instead it should say what it is: a remake of Metroid II.
Also since this is my first time giving any kind of feedback on this project I'd just like to say you're doing a really great job. It's shaping up to be a huge project, and the fact that you've worked for so long to make this great thing is very impressive. I really like your design choices for the metroids, as they make sense, and don't deviate too much from the original, but are different enough to provide a new challenge. I look forward to more progress and the game's eventual completion!
Your ideas are interesting but I don't think that "Metroid II Remake" is a good title at all for the same reasons that Metroid Zero Mission isn't titled Metroid Remake, that Super Castlevania IV isn't titled Castlevania Remake, that Mega Man Powered Up isn't titled Mega Man Remake.
Because these games, as AM2R are MORE that just remakes of the original game, they take it as a base to make a totaly new game with add-ons to the original one.
And, IMHO, it isn't catchy at all.
First of all, I wasn't the one who wrote the comment about legacy being cheesy. Anyway, I looked at your new title screen. The green emblem looks very good. I like the way you made the rest of the screen sort of green, except for the fact that it makes the planet SR388 look too green when the planet is really more yellow and red colored. Also, when I said I thought the Evolution text looked a little bland, I was just wondering if you could could change the kind of text used there, you know, like from Times New Roman to Arial or whatever. Also, due to the black background, I can't really see the first and last letter of the Evolution subtitle. As far as the name goes, maybe you could upload multiple versions of the title screen with different subtitles when you get close to the end of finishing the screen. Keep working on the title screen, it keeps getting better.
I think this might be a good idea for a name for AM2R because they made a PS2 game and they put in the initials "Re:" in it. In case you're wondering what I'm talking about, I'm talking about "Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories". It's a PS2 remake of the original GBA version of the game. They used the initials "Re:" in the title of the remake to emphasize that it is a true remake. Any Kingdom Hearts fan would know what I'm talking about.
"Metroid II Re: Return of Samus"
What do you think Doc?
Por cierto, ¿habrá algún tipo de compatibilidad con joystick?
Saludos!
A Metroid II Remake
This the title I vote for. Zero Mission 2 fits. It is the second zero mission as zero indicates a retelling of the story as evidenced by the opening to ZM. It has nothing to do with zero being the mission number, it is just a retelling of a classic tale in a new and better way.
Or Metroid II: The Return.
Or Metroid Erasure.
Or Metroid Razing
Or Metroid Annihilation.
My vote is to just keep it the same; Metroid II: Return of Samus.
is pretty simple and good.
It's is really the last metroid to the point that metroids after that one are just clones made by pirates or by the federation.
AM2R might sound like a cool Acronym, but it stands for "Another Metroid 2 Remake". Which might sound kinda ironic since this is obviously far MORE than "just another metroid 2 attempt".
However I think we have a much better opportunity here, judging from the vids and the Confrontation demo this could potentially be THE missing Metroid 2 Remake that Nintendo never made.
I think it deserves a much better title than "Another Metroid 2 Remake".
Or Metroid: Mother just because otherM is around the corner. and it fits...
But personally, and honestly, I would use Metroid: AM2R
its simple, catchy, has both names in it, and can be an acronym for anything.
Advanced Metroid 2 Release or something like that. whatever...
but Metroid: AM2R is simply the best choice...

I'm also working on a menu screen.
http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r314/eduardo1
_photo/Untitled-1-2.jpg
Instead of
Metroid:(subtitle goes here),you could try something like
(Title): A Metroid 2 Remake
or something along those lines. Just a suggestion though.
Wow. I must say that I am impressed. This is definetly your best version yet of the title screen. However, I'm not sure though that the Metroid word looks quite right there. I think it clashes a little too much with the rest of the colors on the title screen. Maybe you should try recoloring the word or getting a different text entirely. Other than that, this title screen is really awesome. The menu screen needs a little work, however. Hard to say exactly what's wrong with it, but maybe the colors need to blend a little better. By the way, Dr. M64 already has a title screen for the project, I think.
I agree with the suggestions of the comment above
Relax, no need to be rude.
However, I don't know how Dr.M feels about it but ronny14 has a point this is not a Request Forum. We should stay on topic. If you need Sprites and can't create them yourselves unless you are Dr.M asking for help, go to google and type in Metroid Sprites, or Video Game Sprites and you'll find plenty of listings and forums.
Also @ Eric, WTF. What does that have to do with Metroid at all. Stupid SpamBots.
Anyways, they both sound cool, so it's OK! Keep up the good work!
Really, people.... read some of the posts, before you post the same shit, over and over again.
And what the hell? Why are people still voting for Second Mission?
I'm sorry I suggested the poll now, I think this one should be scrapped, replaced with only the really worthy names. But that's just me.

In fact, I liked the name. For me, Second recalls the second game, almost lost, as Super Metroid is already Metroid 3. And it's similarity to the Zero Mission title shows that it is a remake too.
Dr.M64 should decide which name to use by himself. People won't be glad with anything besides their own name idea, and will keep complaining if their name won't be used.
Dr.M64 made a great job so far that I know he can choose a name that will fit it nicely. Besides, it's his project, and he should be glad with the title, even if it isn't what people chose.
but it doesn't say that it is the 4th mission
Is almost obvious, by the growing rate, that some obsessed people are "over-voting" Second mission.
I agree on the physics. The noraml jump seems to have too strong gravity, and the high jump seems too high. The left and right movement while jumping feels a little hard to control. It'd be nice if Dr.M64 did a little work on the physics, although that might be problem at this stage of the game.
En esta hipotética segunda vuelta estarían los siguentes tres nombres postulantes:
Metroid: Second Mission ..............(26%)
Metroid: Extermination ...............(18%)
Metroid II: Return Of Samus Remake ...(14%)
Estos nombres postulantes son los que consentran la mayor cantidad de los votos, sería una gran idea dejar que esos tres compitieran en una segunda vuelta...

It's not called "Zero'th Mission". It was Zero Mission.
The more correct name would be "Two Mission" which makes even less sense and sounds more lame.
Second Mission is a Horrible name and I have no idea why its winning. We'll there is one idea ... that EVERYONE IS A FREAKING MORON!
you guys realize that this is made with Game Maker if I'm not mistaken. In order for it to be ported to anything it will need a complete rewrite of code. which will take another year or so after it is finished. In other words it was not written for Wii, the DS, the PSP, nor the GBA, all of which is in its own code so it is not an easy task for one to just port anything to anything.
VETO!
also, there is a game maker port for wii int he works, (homebrew) so it IS possible ;)
I remember when the comments couldn't even break the 100 mark.
ESPERO QUE EL ESCOGAN EL MEJOR NOMBRE. ES INCREIBLE EL TRABAJO QUE ESTAS HACIENDO
