Annoyingly bad games
#47
First off, oops. sorry bout the Chozo Artifacts being corrected to chocolate. Gotta love that phone auto correct...

As for the mention by Kriven about Another Metroid 2 Remake. Honestly, maybe I just really wanted a Metroid game after being deprived for so long, but I would put it up as being on par with an actually Nintendo produced game. I think it was a fantastic remake making a very old and dated game, fast, beautiful, moody, and fun, oh my god was AM2R fun.

 It has hands down the tightest and most enjoyable controls I've seen in a Metroid game. Everything about movement feels so comfortable and effortless. The combat is snappy and has satisfying animations, sounds, effects, etc. The decision to pull out the camera far more than previous 2D Metroid games was also an excellent decision. I feel the character ratio on the screen is far more appropriate for a Metroid game with Samus always feeling somewhat tiny compared to the gigantic alien world the game wants you to see, as well as making it so you can more easily maneuver around your enemies.

The sprite art while being similar to Zero Metroid, has tons of modern sprinkles all throughout that elevate the visuals to new heights. The environments are also very beautifully designed and varied. The remastered soundtrack also adds wonderfully to this. Its far more atmospheric and catchy then Metroid II ever was. At the same time, it has a far more light hearted and exploratory vibe to it compared to most Metroid games. 

The game also makes excellent use of the new Log Book as a replacement for the somewhat tedious scan function from the Prime games. The new Log Book is now lightning fast, simple to read, and contains tons of fantastic insights into the world. Some of which help to actually tie Metroid II into some of the later games in the series. The log book isn't the only bit of streamlining. Many great aditions like ledge vaulting, a dedicated morph ball button, new morph bomb charging functions so the morph ball can actually be a viable combat tactic, the quickest and easiest to use save points in the series so far, and I'm sure there are more I forgot to mention.

It truly is a wonderfully produced work by a dedicated fan of the franchise that I think everyone should play regardless of  what Nintendo thinks. I personally followed the game for about 6 or 7 years and it was most definitely worth the wait. 

Sorry if this went on too long. We should probably get back to actually talking about (bad) games soon...
