The AM2R team took the original game's story, characters, and gameplay mechanics and reworked them using modern game development techniques. The result is a game that stays true to the original while offering improved graphics, sound, and gameplay.
AM2R is a remake of Metroid 2: Return of Samus, which was a side-scrolling action game developed and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy handheld console. The game follows the story of Samus Aran, a bounty hunter, as she searches for the Metroid creatures on the planet SR388.
The release of AM2R on the Nintendo Switch console is significant, as it marks one of the first times that a fan-made game has been officially released on a Nintendo platform. The game's NSP format allows it to be easily installed and played on the Switch, with support for both handheld and docked modes.
