Another Metroid 64, a passion project from InDenial Game Studio inspired by fans' longing for an unmade Metroid game on the Nintendo 64. Their creation aims to deliver a captivating and immersive experience, staying true to the essence of the original "Metroid" series by Nintendo.

  • Level Design: showcases intricate maps designed to offer varied exploration opportunities.
  • Gameplay: features mechanics that align with the Metroid universe's core gameplay elements.
  • Animated Cutscenes: add depth to the story, enhancing the narrative experience.
  • Developer Update Coming Soon: more details on the game's progress and future plans will be shared.

Does this match or exceed the way you imagined a Metroid game on the Nintendo 64?

Promoting a patreon, shilling for NFTs in their welcome video, and being kinda smug about the project in the comment section. I don't know chief...

I really don't know why people announce these things. They have to know by now that Nintendo will squash anything and everything that uses their IP and/or assets. It's like taking your first Tae Kwon Do lesson and celebrating by telling all your bullies.

They're all delusional that they'll be the exception.

The only way that a project like this can succeed is by Stealth dropping it once complete, like the Mario 64 pc port.

I always wonder if maybe the devs are wanting an out from finishing the project but still want the cred for working on it. So they make the announcement fully knowing Nintendo will come down on them which will then alleviate them from having to complete the project.
