Game Overview

Escape from Metroid Zero nails that classic GBA Metroid vibe—dark corridors, weird alien noises in the background, and that moment when you realize you've been backtracking for 20 minutes because you missed one stupid bombable wall. The controls feel just right, like they peeled them straight out of Zero Mission, and the new areas actually make sense alongside the familiar ones.

At first I thought it was just another fan remake, but there's some clever stuff here. The power-ups are shuffled in ways that mess with your muscle memory, and the music has this grainy, slightly off-kilter sound that makes everything feel just a little wrong (in a good way). Found myself muttering "where the hell do I go now?" more than once, which is basically the Metroid experience.

If you've still got a GBA or an emulator kicking around, this is the closest thing to finding an unreleased Metroid game in a flea market. Just don't blame me when you get stuck in that one room with the fake floor for an hour.
