This looks pretty! It's giving me Retroid vibes.

Those screenshots are 10/10. I'm really excited for this, it's looking really good! Those palettes are top notch!

Very nice work! I really like faithful remakes, and this looks like a great one.

When I was 9, I was into the broad hypotheticals of takes on existing video games. One of these was a remake of NEStroid for the Game Boy Advance that was significantly more faithful to the original than Zero Mission. Why I thought of this, I don't know. That was just me.

Seeing this almost immediately reminded me of that strange thought all the way back then. The point here is that this community never ceases to amaze me with these wild ideas for new takes on Metroid games, and I very much look forward to this.

Very nice!

Not gonna lie, this is the only time I have liked ZM. Please finish (or I'll steal the sprites anyway).
It looks really nice, I'd be willing to do tilesets and stuff for you.

Updates:
Areas:
-Brinstar is 90% finished.
-Kraid is close to being finished and all that's left is 2 or 3 rooms I want to redo.
-Norfair is gonna get some new tilesets and is half-done.
-Ridley's hideout was finished months ago but felt underwhelming to me so I plan to redesign it a bit.
-Tourian just needs to have the Mother Brain chamber done and the tileset improved a bit.
Sprites:
-Most enemy graphics have been changed to look more like NEStroid and Super Metroid.
-Samus' front view sprite has been edited a little so her visor looks like the older games.
-Beam graphics have been changed to look more like NEStroid (except Power Beam).
-Varia suit will have the design from NEStroid.
-Samus' ZM ship will be replaced by a new gunship similar to the SM and Prime 2 ship.
Spolier stuff:
[spoiler]
-Crateria will be in the hack most likely as a small area.
-Chozodia is planned to be in as a semi-optional area.
-Most of the items that were optional in NEStroid will still be optional.

Screenshots:
[spoiler][spoiler]Metaree sprite still needs some work. I'm kinda mixed about the Green Wavers and the Brinstar bubbles too so I might work on those some more later[/spoiler][/spoiler]

Metroid: -1 Mission

[MetroidRuins]

This looks awesome! Can't wait for it to be released. :yay: I do have a problem with the palette in the elevator room to norfair in your first set of screenshots. I think it would look a bit better if you were to make it more purple.

[DestroyedChozo]

This looks awesome! If you want some tilesets that are modified versions of NESTroid tiles I can give them to you, seeing as I'll never finish my NESTroid remake.

[Steel Sparkle]

love the new screenshots. Keep it up!

Woah! That ship is really cool looking, looks like Super yet has a similar shape to the one in Zero Mission. Also, I really like the Status screen Samus. I personally don't like the title screen though I feel like the logo should be more like the FDS version of Metroid One.

If this is still ongoing I'm willing to help out with just about any graphics (but mostly environmental) though it looks like you've already got that down.

I prefer working alone but thanks for offering

[Hackmi]

Good luck, this is one of the nicest hacks I've seen, but tbh I've not seen much
