How Metroid II Compares To Its Remakes
In 1991, Nintendo released the first sequel to Metroid on the Game Boy. The game looks pretty archaic today thanks to the handheld's limitations. However, the game had a solid structure and has been remade by both Nintendo and its fans. So how do all three version stack up?
Join Leo Vader and Ben Reeves as they compare the opening areas of Metroid II with the fan remake AM2R and the upcoming 3DS release Metroid: Samus Returns.
For more on Metroid: Samus Returns, read our feature on the game's development. And watch us play the original Metroid II: Return of Samus on our weekly Replay show.
