  • For the love of all that is holy, I can't figure out why this is so awesome!!!

  • Nintendo needs to get their act together. We didn't want Metroid: Other M and we don't want Metroid: Other M 2 - we want a new game like Super Metroid or Metroid Fusion!

    Thank goodness there are devoted fans like you keeping us entertained in the meantime.

  • @MrBastoff Oh, please. Other M isn't THAT bad. Actually... Is a VERY good rendition of how Metroid could be played in 3D without being exclusively FPS.

  • @Tsukiyomaru0 If you read carefully you'll see that I never actually commented on the quality of Other M, I only said that I wanted a new game more true to the classics. Though, if you meant that Other M was an adequate substitute for Metroid 5 then I can only say that we have very different taste in games.

    I guess we could both still agree that the Metroid-franchise is AWESOME, right? ^^

  • @MrBastoff Well, in short... I doubt Nintendo may ever fuck up. I mean: Donkey Kong? Success. Metroid? Success. Zelda? Success. Mario? You know the answer.

  • Looks great

  • kute

  • It's SO CUTE

  • Where is the source?

  • @Tokinsom Do you mind telling me what construct is? Is it like gamemaker or is it more like c++ or java?

  • @forrest0no Scirra Construct is pretty much visual programming, you use events that render out as code, Its amazing in so many ways.

  • I

    NEED

    THAT

    SONG

  • Just wondering why don't you have the morph ball jump ability in the game yet? It really streamlines morph ball segments without ruining them.

  • This looks freaking awesome

  • Rebecca Black... first related video? What the fuck?

  • Nice you got Minitroid down, now on to the next challenge, hopefully Mini Icarus

    =D

  • Please, port it to Mac and Linux (at least Ubuntu ;)

  • @lycosgiove I agree. I now have a Mac (my school requires it). Please, oh please port this to Mac!

  • Just noticed there's actually a save room right before a boss. Maybe you shouldn't hide it? I didn't expect a hidden passage to be in that room, so I never searched for one until my second playthrough. On my first one I had to run through all the previous rooms to get to the boss, which quickly got frustrating. I think it's generally a good idea not to hide any save rooms (I think Metroid Fusion did that sometimes, but they were easier to find and the game overall had more save rooms, anyways).

  • Man, just gave the tech demo a try. Really awesome game you made there! The gameplay works fine, the graphics look really awesome (it's the combination of Retro and modern special effects that makes it so great) and the music is great, too. The only thing that's a little bit sad is that most of the classic jingles were replaced, but I guess I can live with that. Oh yeah, also diagonal shooting would be great. Don't know if that's planned or something. Keep up the good work!

  • Hi there, nic game. I'm very interested in your game engine. Do you know if Constructor is compatible to C# / C++ and if it supports Steam when the game is big and good enough? Just wondering because I'm looking for a good game engine for my game which should be on Steam in a year. I'm still looking for a good engine and / or good libraries for C++ / C#.

    Would be nice if you can send me a reply. :)

  • you should port this to iPhone!

  • I always get "Minitroidtechdemo.exe has stopped working"

    i have the latest directx and graphics. does this not work on windows 7 64 bit?

  • Now all we need is Mini-Zelda, Mini-Mario and who knows maybe a Mini-Starfox or Brawl

  • @StephensStuff There is a super smash land. google it, is lik Brawl

  • @joseegreg I see why its called 'Land' lol!

  • I REALLY LOVE THIS GAME^^ METROID LIVES! 2D4Ever

  • Holy shit, what if Nintendo saw this and made like a metroid co-op with minitroid? That would so tight.

  • Will there be other suits?

  • Utterly stricken of words

  • Freakin.Awesome.Playing.Now.

  • Awesome!

  • @Tokinsom Ok thank you

  • Why isn't my demo that fast. Mine is like super slow!

  • @emoboy400 If it's running really slow your computer may not be powerful enough to handle it. The retro graphics were a style choice, not a graphical limitation, so it still uses up the same precessing power as any normal game.

  • 80,000 fuckin hits, ha this is wild stuff man.

  • I was wondering, what programming language did you use?

  • the art style reminds me of cave story

  • awsome nuff said

  • @dennisnedry

    idiot

  • i really love it you made something very cool, i want you to know that :D

  • LOL It's like a Cave Story version of Metroid 2!

  • im having trouble playing the demo, do i have to donwload DirectX 2008? if so which month? March, August etc.

  • @flamevizier Whatever the latest update is, that's what you need. Any older and it probably won't work.

  • @Systalis thanks! i finally got it to work

  • Will there be an android version of the game? If so there should be button mapping so I can play on my game gripper.

  • can you make this an iphone app please!!!

  • I can developped game with this ? I want make a halo fan game and i want know a lot of is technology ! Sorry for my bad englich, i'm French !

  • @dennisnedry So, you're saying you'll never play another Mario, Zelda, Kirby, DK, or Final Fantasy game ever again? Because they are for the most part all the same games as well. Graphics don't make a game. I'm still waiting for people to understand that.

  • Dammit the game won´t even start for me :(

  • This is great!!! By the way, I was wondering what programming language you used for this?

  • There's no Linux version to my knowledge, but why not try Wine?

  • This doesn't work on linux huh? :(

  • I like the little demo, but the fact that the music doesn't really loop kind of bugs me a bit =/

  • I recognize your effort, great game, I hope very soon and have ready the full game, and one question, what programming language you use? only C + + and Java

  • right when i press enter a Runtime Error comes saying " An unexpected error occurred and the application was terminated. We apologise for the inconvenience. Please report this to the application developer "

  • @gaggerzon Redownload the game and make sure all your video card drivers are up to date.

  • Looks really fun, but I'm personally starting to get sick of all these over-pixelated games. That said, music sounds great, looks very fun, and anything Metroid-related grabs my attention, so keep it up!

  • available for andriod? java?, i wanna play it in my cellphone

  • @cybercuate Unfortunately that's simply not possible with the program used to construct the game. It's Windows or bust!

  • this game gonna make your eyes hurt like hell

  • ign showed this to me. awesome job at making a game something i can't do i tried to make a REALLY simple tennis game (the one with a moving block against the wall) it work for a while but theirs no restart if you miss the ball and also it froze and the program that made it

  • I really like that pixely style. It's so well animated and fluent...

  • @dennisnedry Well you didn't like the game you played and completed over ten years ago on two versions? Don't be just just a graphicwhore.

  • AMAZING!! I cant stop playing!! well... that's not exactly true.. I got stuck. I am no at a point where I am pretty sure I need to run.. but I can't. I can't find an item with which i can run, is there one? I also want a map in the final version, but for the rest: I love this game!! Do you have any more of these?

  • This looks amazing, but why is it uploaded in 1080p? XD

  • buen video

  • played through the tech demo. It refines the original game and super metroid down to its core and brings it back. It is brilliant. The atmosphere is brilliant, the lack of story is crucial for this. The room design in that they pose small challenges with risks is crucial and a core element. The lack of jingle when you pick up stuff is brilliant since that always ticked me off when playing all of the games. The music that starts before the boss to build up suspense is brilliant. out of space :)

  • Epic!

  • @dennisnedry

    Issue is sir, you never bothered to play our game, so how can you review it?

  • Hmm, for some reason, I'm getting a very Cave story-ish vibe from this.

    I'm definitely giving it a try.

  • Not getting any music... is there a forum or some way to post bugs?

  • @NoodleAtTheDisco

    in the dowloaded folder containing the game open the ReadMe.txt, there's a mail adres in there.

  • @dennisnedry You kinda really suck at trolling, bro.

  • Great game! :D already finished the demo 2 times.

    Currently playing it again. . . . . as morph ball, I found a bug which allows you to jump like normal (with the jump button) while being a morph ball 8) (you can expect an e-mail soon ;) )

  • @dennisnedry sounds like i touched a nerve on that one.

    Don't, Faggot, Your

    oh and I wouldn't be discussing real life when i claimed and again i quote "I coded an entire security system for a dinosaur island"

    just because I have a Extensive vocabulary doesn't make me worse then you.

  • @dennisnedry see above comment, RE: same fact that you said and i quote "If you were looking to impress me you have failed."

    congrats you BLAZED right over the point

    and YES I do not wish to be you in anyway, shape,form,etc

  • Wow, looks like you put a lot of work in this project. You should try to publish the full version!

  • @dennisnedry You can dislike a game all you want. Your opinion is valuable. The problem arises when you spew blatant slandering of a game while offering little to no valuable criticism on how it may be improved. Without that, you're nothing more than a whiny little bitch with the vocabulary of a 12-year-old. You don't have to be a chef to dislike a turd sandwich, but if all you do is throw that sandwich in my face instead of telling me why it's bad I'll kick your ass no matter how bad it is.

  • This is what would happen if Nintendo made a Game Boy Color DX of sorts, with the same screen res, but better color support and a bigger processor. :V

  • Just this tech demo alone was better than Other M. I'm not just saying that flippantly, either - it actually has areas you can explore, better combat, and memorable music. I beat Other M, and I don't remember a single tune from it, but the theme for the starting area in Minitroid was stuck in my head the first time I heard it.

    I look forward to the full release as much as I would a retail Metroid game.

  • @dennisnedry why the hell would we seek ANY Gratification or Praise from a stuffed up prissy douche bag that couldn't even code their own game. This game was fun and challenging if you don't like it. Don't play it, OR review it.

    /end obvious rant.

  • Awesome! i like what yall are doing here, truly.

  • Already better then Other M

  • @LeoxMotive Hey I like Metroid Other M.

  • yup, so worth the 1080 :p

    pretty cool stuff though

  • Just downloaded the demo. The video looks excellent.

  • Amazing. Whatever this is a demo for, can't wait.

    Btw, anyone know the tune at the end?

  • it looks awesome!

  • @dennisnedry At no point, in your pointlessly rude post were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on Youtube is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points and may God/Allah/any other deity have mercy on your soul. And if you think anyone is seriously out to impress YOU.......then dear lord, you are truly deluded.

  • @dennisnedry Asshole.

  • Please, when the full version comes out, put in First Super Metroid Remake Revival X Blood Pt.2 Ch.5 The Return Of Samus Returns -The Sequel- as a bonus.

  • This looks amazing! Will you be releasing a full version? Someone's probably asked and answered that already, huh?

  • please tell me that the entire game will have similar music to this vid, OMG, its getting me pumped up and excited for it!

  • @dennisnedry fail

  • we really need some independent creators, going back to the basics it`s just great, i hope someday it wil be avaliable this type of 2d game in a eshop and if nintendo does not appreciate then they will be missing a lot...of course this needs to be improve a little bit

  • @dennisnedry

    *COUGH* This isn't a remake/demake/retcon or what have you, it's a brand new Metroid game. I feel I've been pretty clear about this.

  • @Tokinsom man u ROCK !!!! u made this by urself or its a team of programmers? i wish i was able to make something like this :( anyway all my respect 4 ya very cool game!!

  • @Tokinsom Idiots, he probably didn't even beat the game back in the day.

    Just chatting shit over the net.

  • @Tokinsom Yep, and any resemblance to Nintendo's properties, characters, and similarities are purely coincidental ;)

  • If Nintendo closed down fangames, MFGG would have been shut down 10 years ago.

  • No dislikes? No Space Pirates on Youtube it seems!

  • That trailer rocked!The art style is incredible!Chibi samus is cool and theres even walljump!Cant wait for the final game!

  • i prefer the more subtle and disturbing soundtrack....

    this sounds a bit too adventurous

  • will we be able to download the soundtrack, the song in this tech demo is awesome

  • I cant wait for the full game! The demo was fantastic!!!! Please keep working on this project!

    Also to all the C&D people out there... This game wont get one of those... If AM2R has not gotten one yet then you can believe this will not!

  • @BassZ1890 How did you run the demo? I can't figure out how :/

  • @Chupimaru I just extracted the whole folder to my desktop and ran the exe. I run win 7 32bit and have had no problems. If its not working there are 2 things I suggest.

    1.) Tokinsom mentioned there was a problem with one of the earlier versions that caused crashes. So try redownloading the game.

    2.) if that does not work make sure you have the latest version of Direct X and make sure your graphics cards drivers are up to date!

    If it still does not work idk what to say :(

  • @BassZ1890 Thx dude, I'm gonna try that

  • Looks great.

    I downloaded the demo but when I run MinitroidTechDemo.exe I get "Failed to load plugin cap17DA.tmp\11.csx(126)

    I'm using Win 7 32-bits. Do I need something else besides the .zip?

    Thx in advance and keep the good work!

  • :)

  • It's ... it's beautiful.

  • wow man, you should work for Nintendo

  • Mac version! D:

    It looks great!

  • 1. What did you use to create the chiptune-styled music? Famitracker or such?

    2. How do you handle level storage/loading. This is all tile-mapping right?

    I know these are kind of trivial questions, but I always love to hear the different ways teams approach making a game.

  • still 10x more badass than other M, even in chibi form

  • Like if ign sent you....

  • Nintendo cannot do anything as long as nobody has to pay for it.

  • As excited as I am and as neat as this looks, I cannot help but worry about there being a cease and desist order from Nintendo.

  • @IliyaMoroumetz

    There are literally hundreds of Nintendo fangames out there, and to my knowledge not one of them has been shut down. Besides, we're not profiting from this, the actual names (Metroid, Samus, etc.) don't appear once in Minitroid, and we didn't 'steal' a single sprite, sound effect, song, or anything else from any official Metroid games (spare half the title theme). I don't think we'll be hearing from Nintendo any time soon.

  • @Tokinsom

    Ah, I asked because I recall a while ago about a fangame of Chrono Trigger that was to be in 3D, but SquareEnix shut it down. That's good to know. Thank you and best of luck for the final version.

  • @Tokinsom Nintendo has sent out cease & desist orders to some games in the past, mainly fanmade Legend of Zelda titles that approached commercial quality and even without directly referencing the source material. Popular IPs like that are protected pretty well, but they couldn't care less about Metroid and F-Zero and the likes however so this'll fly :D

  • @Tokinsom dude you have the metroid theme at the end of this vid.... it may be slightly different or something but its still the theme and thus gives nintendo a reason to cease and desist this game :/

  • @SilentPhenomed

    Nintendo will not shut down a game over 3 notes ;P

  • @Tokinsom I wouldn't be so sure if I were you. Do you know what happened to Chrono Resurrection? Go read it if you don't, this is serious shit :(

  • @knuckztve Chrono was Square

  • @Tokinsom Remember the Ocarina of Time 2D remake. The Chrono Trigger 3D remake.

  • @HarpoTheVillain Chrono Trigger was Square Enix

  • @Biddybalboa I know that, but my point is that game companies...DOES do these things. Not just Nintendo.

  • @Tokinsom i remember a really cool metroid fan game introduced some time ago called sr388 but apparently nintendo sent a cease and desist order to them resulting in underground development of the game. Nonetheless this was an entertaining demo you created and I hope development goes further without any roadblocks :)

  • @skullstrider

    Nintendo did not shut down MSR388, and that's a fact. It was a rumor. In fact I'm willing to bet that 99.9% of C&Ds for fangames are rumors.

  • @Tokinsom Lol kk. I look forward to the final product you guys have.

  • @SilentPhenomed

    Rofl...it's a metroid game. It's not like we're hiding that fact. You kids need to stop worrying about C&D's so much. We knew the risks, so don't worry about reminding us. It's no profit, just for the love. Grab it while you can.

  • @nuts3soup You tell me all this and then say "Grab it while you can."

    While I can?............<_<"

  • @SilentPhenomed

    :p You brought it upon yerself, buddy.

  • @nuts3soup I don't think you understand the point I'm trying to make -_-"

  • @SilentPhenomed You guys need to realize that the public belief that companies are out to cease and desist lovely little fan projects like these is like actively policing things so that large companies don't even have to move in. You like this game? Send praise for it. Don't bother contemplating the legalities of it just enjoy it since it's here and tell your friends : D

  • @SilentPhenomed

    It would really cost Nintendo more money than they'd win if they sued, plus last thing I heard, they encourage this stuff.

    Lastly, they've always tried to keep up a "Gentle Godfather" image and they wouldn't want to break that.

  • @Tokinsom Hopefully not, but it has happened. My friend had a non-profit Pokemon MMO he was working on shut down (while other more popular ones that charge are still going!). You should be fine though, can't wait.

  • @IliyaMoroumetz only time they will hear from nintendo is when they ask to hire him.

  • why is samus' helmet taking up half her head. also the retro/nintendo look is fucking gimmicky.

  • @chodetaculous If you don't like it then don't play it. The retro/nintendo look is no gimmicky its a style just like the realistic look in games.

  • @BassZ1890 No shit I'm not going to play it. What does that have to do with anything?

  • aww yeah. shit just got mini

  • Aaaah today's the day!!!

  • Amazing stuff!

  • @nuts3soup I agree-- also, sometimes doing pixel art can be even harder than just straight-up drawing

  • time to get stuck at the noob bridge again

  • Wow... Those animations look awesome.

    Can´t wait to play it!!

  • I'm digging the music!

    Exactly how I want it to be.

  • wow, you impressed me, it looks awesome! :D

  • This is absolutely wonderful. I love how you captured the atmosphere at such a small scale. This will easily be one of my favorite indie games!

  • Doukutsu Monogatari: Samus' Zero Mission! XD

  • Mac Version?

  • Looks SOOOOOOOOOOOO awesome! CAN'T WAIT!

  • :Oh so it wasnt an April Fools joke?

    Heart dropped when it was taken down right after commenting.

  • @Shintroy Tokinsom first posted it earlier in his timezone, which was April 2nd, but YouTube's timezone is a bit behind Central, so he took it down and re-posted it to avoid any confusion about if this video is true or not.

  • Looks surprisingly good! Here's a back-pat through the internet!

  • today is a very good day...

  • I beg of you to excuse me, as I must find myself a new pair of pants.

  • Congratulations sir, you have just sent chills down my spine. :D

  • Is this gonna be a hard game?

    Either way, it's awesome.

  • can't wait!

  • awesome!!

  • Also, looks SO good.

  • First
