Hooligans of the Night

Here's a video to remind you what you're grabbing.



And I uploaded it myself so it won't hug any space elsewhere for the poor dude who is likely seeing a shitload of internet traffic.

Edit: Looked it up myself and indeed, it is more of a finished tech demo, but the Metroid 2 remake is nearly finished so let this whet your appetite a wee bit, eh?

So I can use my 360 contoller on this if I have the little wireless dongle right? I may play this...

This runs on a Snes emulator right? Can you link to one.

To my understanding, "Confrontation" is just a tech demo that showcases what the actual remake will be capable of.

Still, I'm checking this out regardless, as it looks extremely promising.

(Mallas, depends if there's in-game support for the pad. If there isn't, check out Xpadder, which is an awesome mapping utility to solve that problem)
(Dell, according to the project's blog, it was made in Game Maker, so it should run standalone.)

Looking at the Icons and graphical style it looks like a GBA.
Not sure which will be the best one to use. . .us po' folk Mac users only have VBA and BoycottAdvance.

It should be an executable file that plays without any sort of emulator.

This looks absolutely badass, pity Nintendo will probably threaten this fan with a lawsuit in order to put a stop to this. I downloaded it but I'll have to give this a go tomorrow.

This kind of stuff demonstrates how Nintendo is on top of their game in keeping the fans from making the most of older IPs.

Not like Sega, who doesn't give a rat's ass once certain lines of code no longer demonstrate profit. At which point they carelessly let the fans have at it.


This even features custom bosses, new music, and "additional" characters.






Either way, I hope that Nintendo fails to stop this,
or that the fans in charge grow some balls and release it anyway.
A new Proper Metroid from the fans WILL prove to be greatness.

Which reminds me. . .
Wasn't Klonoa working on a HUGE Super Metroid Hack project?

I played this earlier tonight and I'm mixed. I really like the animation and the new stuff the guy is adding but the "physics" are way off. You jump and fall way too fucking fast, too be blunt about it. Otherwise pretty solid but once he gets that fixed things'll be great.

I'm with Wibble. The controls felt a bit off. It was also annoying that only charge shots or missiles did any damage to Ridley. Regardless, I hated Metroid 2, and a remake with this engine (and a map) would be much more fun.

What I'm really interested in is playing that Sonic fangame Silver linked. I imagine that's how my day off work will be spent.

The Sonic fan game looked fine until the dude pulled out the "KO" voice after a boss. That was terribly unnecessary.

Also, do you mean GB Metroid 2 or Super Metroid, Nama? I can't wrap my head around anyone not liking the latter.

Super Metroid is Metroid 3.

I agree with the physics being off. I only played it for a few minutes. Seems solid otherwise. Though enemies exploding into balls of fire seems really off.

^eh?
I didn't read where anyone disputed what Metroid 3 was.
I just remember Klonoa was working on Hacking Super Metroid a long while back.

He was referring to Chrono. And yeah, I do mean the Game Boy Metroid 2. I haven't put a decent amount of time into Super Metroid, but I expect to enjoy it very much when I do.

I got to the lava part and died because playing Metroid with a keyboard was just too damned awkward, I need to hook up my 360 pad and give it a shot. The wireless one will work via the usb cable, right? And yeah, the jumping and the speed at which you fell were way off but still that's a pretty amazing considering it's fan-made game. Even if it's using hacked assets from all of the various 2D Metroid games it's still well done.
