Metroid Cubed (NES 3d voxel conversion) video 2: Norfair

Metroid Cubed is an old project of mine. It was unveiled in 2003, and it's a conversion of the classic and innovative 1986 Nintendo game into volumetric 3d graphics using a voxel sculpting tool I developed.

Think of it as rebuilding the whole game using special micro Lego blocks, using the original graphics to choose the colors and shapes.

If you have the Shockwave plug-in installed, you can play Metroid Cubed online at: http://www.qubedstudios.com/ or http://homepage.mac.com/qubedstudios/metroidcubed.htm

Look on my page for another version where you can actually rotate the camera.

looks hard. really hard. and confusing

[FusionNinjin]

graphics looks nice but the angle isnt exacly optimal or and would prefer some zoom :o

Yeah. It would be awsome though, having a metroid game that keeps on giving. I must have been thinking about Sonic at the time, but Sega went third party after their consoles didn't sell... and I don't think that is going to happen with Nintendo.

Nintendo isn't a third-party developer, so you won't be seeing Metroid on anything else than a Nintendo console.

The music could use some work, but overall, this looks like a solid game for those who remember the days of old.

Think this one over for a minuet: what about making a brand new, never befor conceived, total 3D, next generation metroid platformer for not just the computer, but for somthing like the Wii or even... the Xbox 360? The game would use every bit of space alotted on the disc, and the gameplay would reach upwards of twenty hours, plus plenty of reasons for that next play through.
