DESCRIPTION

With its nonlinear action, tight controls, large areas to explore and familiar gameplay, Metroid II: Return of Samus will please fans of the classic NES title. The popular Samus Aran has returned, but this time she's on planet SR388 —- home of the Metroids. Her mission is to seek out and destroy 39 of the creatures, each of which acts as an entry point to another area. Samus has a number of new weapons at her disposal, including the spring ball, which lets her jump while curled into a ball, and the spider ball, which lets her climb on walls. In addition, level progression can now be saved via battery backup-up, eliminating the old password system. The backgrounds are more detailed and Samus looks great, but there are fewer hidden secrets in this game than there are in the original. ~ Brett Alan Weiss, All Game Guide

“Considering it's platform, this game was one in a million. Very long considering it was on a black and white 8-bit handheld. I had plugged many hours into this game, and played it over and over to try and get the best possible time to see Samus...”

“The baby metroid from Metroid II, pumpkin-style. Took a few hours with a dremel tool, but I'm happy with how it turned out. First time using power tools to carve :)”

“I honestly didn't get as much into Metriod I. For some reason playing this on my friend's GB really got me best into the series. Maybe it was the small refinements or something, but this game rocked”
