I'm also having a blast! I couldn't find Hi-jump at first and managed to do the second area's breeding grounds without it, but that's just a bit of extra challenge.

I found something useful. Charge up your charge beam, morph, and keep holding down when you morph. Instant bomb jump!

Wow the

fight was incredible. I can't remember if that was in the last partial release or not.

Anywhere, everywhere

This is a fantastic game, people. The new bosses are really well done! Finished in 4:01 with 92%.

5:08:41 with 82%. Excellent game, I have to say. Encountered a pretty odd bug though, after fighting queen and moving to the other side of the room, Samus started falling instead of transitioning to the next room. I just space jumped back to the area where I fell and hit the transition trigger.

Same thing happened to me, altough I did not space jump back into the fight. The game crashed after falling for a while. I finished Normal in 4:33 with 93%. Currently looking for the last 7%.

How the hell do you kill genesis?

EDIT: nvm,I beat him. Actually I beat him twice since it crashed after the first time I beat him. I just adjusted the brightness so I could see him.

The crashes give me this blue screen and then it says it's doing some kind of crash memory dump.

I found a missile tank expansion in a room that already had a solid dot in it from a previous pickup, if that helps anyone looking to 100%

100% 7:04:59. I wonder if I'll play the crap out of this like zero mission to get 100% close to an hour? I think I love it enough to try.

Been wondering, is this one of the Metroid 2 Remake projects that were started by users of this forum?

I remember there were quite a few threads about these projects waaay back.

I think I remember playing the first demo. I thought for sure that Ridley was going to be in this game because I know I saw him in this a long time ago.

hes in m:confrontation - http://metroid2remake.blogspot.com/p/metroid-confrontation.html

The Galactic Federation is training new recruits. Using Samus' enemy and environmental data from several missions, an elite group of engineers created the Confrontation Project: A revolutionary virtual reality training program. Since her cooperation was essential for the project, she was chosen to be the first person to try it out. Now she must face the ghosts of her past in the ultimate training mission.

Metroid: Confrontation is a small complete game, set in the Metroid universe. It started as a small tech demo, used to show the engine capabilities. It slowly evolved into what it is today: a small but action packed Metroid adventure, with 3 epic boss fights and many secrets.

Torrent hash is 31059585e68123d095871d3169899cd900b77213.

Spread that around everywhere you can. It can be used to create a magnet link which will connect to the swarm, even without any trackers:

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:31059585e68123d095871d3169899cd900b77213&dn=AM2R%20v1.0

Spread it EVERYWHERE.

"The future of AM2R
As you may know already, AM2R received DMCA notices in all the download hosts, and some parts of this blog. So far, no C&D letter was received.

This project began a long time ago, while I was actually trying to learn the programming side of Game Maker. Instead of moving on with something else, when I learned a better way of doing something, I reiterated and improved the old code.
Eventually, I learned to program in C#. Now I'm making a living as a professional programmer thanks to what I learned developing a fan game.
Technically speaking, I'm satisfied.

Artists started offering help. First with the main enemies, then with sprites, enemies, bosses.
The forums started to come alive with fans making feature suggestions, and always being positive and optimistic about the project. I added new contents, trying to be respectful about the established lore. Demo after demo people liked the game. Then the game was out, and for a brief time, players enjoyed the game they were expecting for a long time.
Artistically speaking, I'm satisfied.

What about the future?
I'll continue improving and fixing AM2R privately.

How will updates will be released, if at all?
I'm still working on it.

My priority now is to fix the invisible gravity suit bug that's hindering many player's experience. If you experience that bug, please visit the forum, and I'll eventually provide a fix.

Please, don't hate Nintendo for all of this. It's their legal obligation to protect their IP.
Instead of sending hate mail, get the original M2 from the eShop. Show them that 2D adventure platformers are still a thing people want."
