MDb news since 1996.
Hello everyone, we have some great Metroid news today. After years of staying shrouded in secret, independent game developer/composer Von Richter has blessed us with a glimpse of what could be the greatest Metroid Fan Game EVER MADE. It is called Metroid: SR388, and to fans like us, the title alone instantly brings fond memories of the metroid's birthplace to our heads. Other than completely new graphics with contributions from yours truly, the game also features Super Metroid's beloved Samus sprite, but now with hundreds of more frames of animation to allow super-smooth 60fps movement. It also has phenomenal particle effects and explosions, bringing 2D adventure gaming to the next level. You can choose to watch the YouTube version or directly download the higher-quality trailer exclusively from the MDb hosted through FilePlanet. It's a good time to be a Metroid fan, folks. This one looks like it's here to stay!
