Introduction

Hello and welcome to my blog. Although I understand that the subject matter of this blog will for the most part be boring and tedious to most people who may stumble upon it, for some it will be a joyous dive into the world of Metroid.

We are going to analyze the intricate details of Metroid for the NES in order to create a remake of the very first game staring our heroine Samus. My intention is to actually faithfully recreate every aspect of the first game with Super Metroid graphics. I do understand that there may be some tiles that are not fully realized in Super Metroid and therefore I will have to create them myself.

Now, I know that Metroid 1 has already been "recreated" as Metroid Zero Mission. However, they took many liberties in that game including a guided mission system and rearranged rooms. My game will have none of this. My intention is to fully recreate the game tile by tile and game mechanic by game mechanic.

It is interesting to note that while I could substitute graphics of the NES Metroid ROM and repackage it as a SNES rom, I will be reprogramming everything from the ground up.

So, let us embark on a fantastic journey of fan love. I hope you enjoy my blog on this endeavor.
