Super Metroid Eris is totally awesome

Once again I'm going to stoop down to the lowly act of embedding a video, this time though, I feel that it's the only thing that can get across exactly how awesome Super Metroid Eris really is. Like most romhacks, the difficulty is ramped up, only this time, it's the damage output of Planet Eris' inhabitants rather than ludicrously precise jumping with instant death as a result of your failure. Personally, I find this kind of difficulty to be a whole lot better really as it requires skill in choosing your enemies and knowing when to flee rather than just run n'gunnin.

For once, exploration takes the priority in the gameplay rather than arbitrary difficulty. There are hidden goodies everywhere in this well decorated landscape. The missle pickups are dramatically cut down to the point where you'll be needing to hunt the missiles down rather than just say "cool, more missiles". Theres a few new gizmos for you to play around with aswell, but I won't spoil that for anyone.

The world itself is just beautiful. This is the first hack I've seen to use this many customized tiles. The music in the areas was carefully chosen to impact the ambient affect and it really shows. The creepy areas look and sound creepy and the lonesome places do the same.

I'll just throw up a link to the hack, but you guys are on your own when it comes to actually hunting down the rom. Give it a try, but don't be alarmed by the difficult enemies, it's truly a marvelous experience.
