Synopsis

AM2R (Another Metroid 2 Remake) is an action-adventure game developed by the Argentine programmer Milton Guasti (also known as DoctorM64) and released for Windows on August 6, 2016, Metroid's 30th anniversary. AM2R is an unofficial remake of the 1991 Game Boy game Metroid II: Return of Samus by Nintendo, largely based on the visual style of Metroid: Zero Mission (2004). As in the original Metroid II, players control the bounty hunter Samus Aran, who aims to eradicate the parasitic Metroids. AM2R adds features including new graphics and music, new areas and bosses, altered controls, and a map system. AM2R received positive reviews, particularly for its graphics. It was nominated for the Game Awards 2016, but was dropped from the nominee list without notice. Shortly after release, Nintendo sent D.M.C.A. notices to websites hosting AM2R, and download links were removed. Though Guasti planned to continue working on the game privately, in September 2016, he ended development after receiving a D.M.C.A. take-down request. Nintendo released an official Metroid II remake, Metroid: Samus Returns, in 2017.
