Released on the 30th anniversary of the Metroid series in August 2016, this AM2R review will look what it did what nintendont.

From DoctorM64 came AM2R (Another Metroid 2 Remake). More than a decade in the making, AM2R used Metroid Zero Mission and Metroid Fusion as a source for updating the original Metroid 2, expanding on the Game Boy game and bringing in many quality of life improvements that have come to the Metroidvania genre and Metroid franchise since its release.

This AM2R review/analysis/critique/retrospective will look at where AM2R works well, where it falls short, and what happened to AM2R after its release when Nintendo got their legal team involved.

NOTE: Beyond playing the original Metroid 2 on a gameboy emulator for like 10 minutes years ago, I've only played AM2R, and not Metroid: Samus Returns.
