Metroid: Adventure of Samus

This short game was made as a joke for December 28th, a.k.a Innocents Day, both as a tribute to Metroid and The Legend of Zelda and to have some fun, so this is not meant to continue also for legal reasons. Please if you enjoy the original game series support them.

The game was presented during the joke as game only released in japan and somehow it was some kind of unkown relic until now, since has been 'ported' to modern systems. It's not perfect and it doesn't mean to be, as it tries to replicate some of the limitations of that time (around the end of the 80s). Also there must be a reason why this game wasn't relased world wide, right? Even the controls tried to emulate the NES gamepad.
Hope you enjoy it.

About the game

Not many people know this, even at the Galactic Federation, but Samus had an unoficial secret mission taking place between Metroid and Metroid 2: Return of Samus and wasn't related with Prime. Right after the first defeat of Mother Brain at Zebes and the explosion of Tourian, Ridley managed to escape taking advante of the situation and took some Metroids with himself. As soon as the relentless famous bounty hunter knew that chased him looking for vengeance, but mostly because Samus had a reputation to mantain.

Discover a whole new place in Zebes, this time in never seen in the series top-down with 8 directions movement. Everything with stereo 8 bit sound! Explore, solve some environment puzzles, find the Metroids and fight for vengeance in this never seen before adventure outside of Japan until now. This is also the first time Samus actually speaks in a game!

Warning

Since this game was meant to be a personal project and a joke, there are some fake features, like the main menu with game slots that actually do nothing but starting the game (there are no save rooms). Even if this project is not meant to continue, if you find any game breaking bug feel free to let me know.
