Hello!
I've been playing Metroid romhacks for many years now, and I thought it's about time I write some reviews.
Also I'm trying to make my own hack atm.

Toodles!

Cool! You should definitely post your hacks once they're playable!

[TobiMikami]

Yes, drop your hacks indeed. It seems like we've been having a dry spell over here lately.

Look at main site. It's not the steady stream it used to be, but we've been getting new hacks. They just don't get talked about on forums as much as they used to.

[TobiMikami]

Oh shit what upppp. Usually I find out about new hacks when MST or OatsnGoats stream it cause I get a subscriber notification, they must be slackin' hah.

Heyo.

Been around playing Metroid hacks for a bit and figured I'd write some reviews.
Maybe one day I'll look into making a hack, but we'll see.

See y'all around.

[DreadX--Varia]

Hi, guys! I'm DreadX--Varia, and I am a HUGE Metroid fan! I've been a fan of the series since...I don't even remember. No, I'm not a boomer. I've just loved the series for years.
Anyway, I've had a Metroid game idea in my head for a while now: Metroid Reckoning. I planned on making it on Scratch (DordusRising is my account), but I recently discovered some potentially nifty tools for making Super Metroid hacks! So, if it doesn't work out on Scratch, I plan to use something like SMART to make a hack. Fun fact: I beat Super Metroid Subversion on the day of this post.
That's enough about me. I'm hoping to get to know ALL of my fellow Metroid fans!

[Phenoix12]

Hi I'm Phenoix12 (yes I know it's spelled wrong, it's intentional) but most everyone calls me Phen anyway.

I've always loved Super Metroid ever since I was a kid, Metroidvanias are my favorite genera of game.

I have a passive interest in learning to hack metroid but don't really feel like I have the time. But I will still love to join in this community.

Currently my interest also includes modding Morrowind where I am part of a mod team doing level design work.  Odd to say that I really love level and map design but I do.

[Mayhemski]

Hi Folks, I'm Mayhemski a noob to the community itself, but a lover of Metroid. I played Fusion and Zero Mission with my cousin growing up a lot. After a 12 year gaming hiatus, I got back into playing games after finding sobriety (and I love it.) Feel free to chat me up about anything or if you need a friend to talk to; if I'm available I love to be there for folks (: aside from the Metroid series my favorite games of all time are Bloodborne, Nine Sols and Doom 64.

I'm new to anything hacking, playing them and at some point I hope to try learning to make one. Anyway, I hope whoever sees this has a good day; maybe I'll see you around the site or in discord. (:

[TheAutumnWizard]

Hello, I'm Autumn and I love Metroid, Metroid fan games, Metroid rom hacks, and mods for games that make them either metroidvania-esque or add content from Metroid games.
My favourite Metroid game is Metroid Fusion, and I think they didn't do Dread very well.
The map didn't need markers because there's no map rooms, and the xray scope wasn't used effectively. I found every secret you were supposed to need it for without it.
I'm not a fan of how they dropped all the stuff with the Galactic Federation and the Metroid cloning lab samus destroyed in Fusion and downplayed the significance of Adam the Ship AI/CO.
And lastly, I wish they'd never moved to 3d graphics. Metroid has the best 2d pixel art of any game series and the fact that Dread has none because it's all 3d just breaks my heart.
Other than those issues it was still very fun to play, it just doesn't live up to the greatness of being Metroid 5.

Another gripe: I don't like Metroid Samus Returns, or any remakes, other than Metroid Zero Mission. NEStroid is far harder and less forgiving than the future titles, and players wanting to get into the series from the beginning, or see where it all began, will be met with a frustrating game that shows its age.
I'm sure there are people who have beaten it and who can even vouch for how enjoyable it is, but me?
I greatly appreciate Zero Mission, as a way to experience Metroid 1 and actually beat the game.

Metroid 2 on the other hand is great, I've beaten it, and it's really not too difficult (probably around the baseline or a little harder for Metroid 2-5), and I think it sets the precedent for the games to come since then. The first of the greats.

Trying to sequence break the requirement for rating hacks right now

[justaicon]

hello everyone! my name is justaicon, i am a japanese/pakistani rom hacker living in Canada. fairly active in MAGEconst and partially on MetConst, I love to hack the GBAtroid games when I can, and I am nearly finishing my quick play hack 2 months in the making.

metroid being one tied of my favorite with castlevania, its great how i can play more then what is officially offered through Nintendo.

If we can't have a Zelda-maker, why not introduce a Metroid-Maker? Come to think of it, it doesn't sound as great given how limited the customization really is in mario maker 2 alone...

Given the forum rules on submitting a forum post to submit a hack, I went ahead and did it a bit earlier so I can dedicate more time to this without rushing it. have a good day and continue to stay awesome

[Awordley]

Hello all, excited to add another fresh 2025 post to this ancient thread of introductions! I am Awordley, a MetConst lurker for almost a decade who has finally decided to register an account.

I've been playing Super Metroid romhacks for most of my life and have decided at last to write some reviews for the ones I've just finished, as well submit reviews for the hacks I have completed in the past when I get round to replaying them.

I'd also like to give back to this legendary community that has graced us with so many fantastic hacks throughout the years by starting work on a SM hack of my own! Last year we saw loads of novel ideas showcased through hacks like Verticality, Super Asteroid to mention a few, and I feel as though there's no better time to embrace the community and get into hacking myself. I'd love to create unique experiences that may inspire new hackers the same way I've been spoiled these last 10 years haha

I'm primarily focused on SM but I dabble in GBAtroid from time to time - I have a backlog of ZM/Fusion hacks to dive into as it's been a few years since I've played any so that's exciting! Outside of Metroid I'm naturally a lover of 2D Castlevania and most things Metroidvania-adjacent, old or new. 2D indie games are my go-to but I ocassionally play newer releases. 

That's a bit about me, hope you are all having a good week and maybe I'll pop in on the Discord and check it out at some point soon!

[Chozo39]

Hi, my tag is Chozo39 and I'm interested in making high quality half-hacks and maybe some spoof hacks.
