After all these years, the remake many people have been waiting for has finally arrived! After my first playthrough, I have to commend DoctorM64 and his team for truly delivering a great Metroid game that deserves to be seen as an official one. Unfortunately, download links for it are being taken down by Nintendo. You'll have to download it through another method.

I will be going through the game on Hard Mode. I will also be going for 100% pickups, but this will not be a speedrun. Since the game just released two days ago, it’s hard to say if any set routes have been invented to beat the game with 100% under two hours. Also, I still make some mistakes in terms of item pickups and turns.

Hard Mode isn’t too different from Normal Mode. As usual in Metroid, enemies take longer to kill, and they deal more damage to you. Also, I think some Alpha Metroids dodge your attacks a bit more than usual. Another thing about Hard Mode is Missiles Tanks only give you 2 Missiles instead of the usual 5 in Easy/Normal, and both Super Missile Tanks and Power Bomb Tanks give you one of their item instead of two in Easy/Normal. Surprisingly, Energy Tanks are not changed at all like they were in Metroid: Zero Mission.

In this part, we mainly go through the intro of the game. After viewing what is in the Logbook and Samus’ arsenal, I finally head off at 6:30, going on to defeat the first Alpha Metroid we encounter. After defeating it, there is an earthquake, and with the shift in terrain, I head on up towards the first area of the game.
