AM2R, short for Another Metroid 2 Remake, is an action-adventure video game developed by Milton Guasti under the pseudonym DoctorM64, and released in August 2016 for Microsoft Windows. It is an unofficial enhanced remake of Nintendo's Game Boy game Metroid II: Return of Samus (1991), done in the style of the Game Boy Advance game Metroid: Zero Mission (2004). Shortly after the game's release, Nintendo sent DMCA notices to websites hosting AM2R; download links to the game were removed from its official website, but Guasti said that he still planned to continue working on the game privately. The game follows Samus Aran, who aims to eradicate the parasitic Metroids from their home world. It includes several new features, including redone graphics and music, a map system, and new areas and minibosses. The controls were changed to be more rigid, to be more in line with the gameplay of later titles in the series. Video game journalists liked the game, frequently calling it impressive and commenting on the improved visuals compared to those of the original Metroid II. |
