With all the modding and remakes out there, I'm honestly surprised no one has attempted to make Metroid 64. I think it would be a fun idea and would be a great bridge between Super and Prime. I don't think it would look the greatest, but I do think the color palette and tone would return to the Super Metroid roots. The lack of this game on the N64 was the main reason I chose to skip Nintendo that generation. If Prime hadn't released I would have skipped the Cube as well. I'm imagining a 3D platformer, possibly with a Z-Targeting element that would allow the camera to pull back to a 2D plane for climbing tall corridors. Has anyone seen any mods or mockups of what a Nintendo 64 based Metroid would have looked like?
