<title>Metroid: Other M and Riivolution</title>
<description> Firstly, I&amp;#039;m not sure if this is the right place to post something like this. If it is not the right place, then please let me know where I should go.

I&amp;#039;ve seen some impressive work on Smash Bros. and Mario Kart with Riivolution, replacing entire stages/races.

I am not sure just how hard this sort of work is to do, but I was hoping it would be possible to find a group of people interested in taking Metroid: Other M, and begin remaking Planet Zebes from Super Metroid - perhaps in a prequel style.

Just as an idea: Right before Kraid in Super Metroid, Samus runs in to a dead Galactic Federation officer. Could be about him. You start out on the frigate, and you get attacked by Phantoon, you don&amp;#039;t quite beat him, Frigate crashes, find yourself in Crateria, your escape pod landed just above where Samus lands her ship in SM. So you jump down. The officer is wearing a Galactic Federation prototype suit, that has the Gravity Suit functionality, and ice beam to start. Maybe we can make &quot;morph ball&quot; just look like him rolling around, lol.

It plays out for a while, and then you get to Kraid&amp;#039;s lair, where you attack a slew of Mini-Kraids, a loud sound plays, the excuse is &quot;Kraid&quot; attacked and killed you, leaving only one mini-kraid alive, and of course the full-size Kraid that we can avoid having &amp;#039;seen&amp;#039;.

So then, a lost Chozo soul of Zebesian past, that had come once to investigate the growth of a new civilization (space pirates), comes to say that Samus is on her way, and he is not to go just yet. The Chozo, using the slime of a deceased Metroid and the last of his souls power, rebirths him in to a Chozo-suit equipped new version of him. He leaves his old body behind, with a Samus-like Power Suit (but blue). Whatever else happens beyond that point, I don&amp;#039;t know. But basically the idea is remaking Super Metroid but different enough that his being there &amp;#039;explains&amp;#039; why different bosses or encounters happen as they do.

I think it would be a very interesting project. I&amp;#039;m not sure how possible it is, but I would be willing to learn anything I can!

PS: Maybe we can have a Dark Samus kameo?
PPS: Maybe we can say this is Houston from the Nintendo Power Metroid comic...lol</description><link>http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,58953,58953#msg-58953</link><lastBuildDate>Tue, 17 Mar 2026 00:51:59 +0100</lastBuildDate>

<title>Re: Metroid: Other M and Riivolution</title><link>http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,58953,59690#msg-59690</link><description><![CDATA[ Excellent! Thanks for the reply. Let me know what you think when you have a chance, I&#039;ll start coming up with a more specific idea of how we can lay out the maps and convey the story. I&#039;m not sure what the level map limitations might be (whether having an amount of rooms and elevators inconsistant with Other M would be problem or not). But even if it is, I&#039;m sure we can pair it up with a save-game or something to get Samus relocated on the game map, and design the areas around those limitations.<br /><br />If anyone else feels they may be interested in joining or contributing to this project, please post to let us know.<br /><br />I may ask around at OC Remix, if we get this going, to see if we can get some looped-versions of remixed Super Metroid tunes going, and perhaps something new if, perhaps, we even add a unique zone to the game...which I have some ideas for.<br /><br />You&#039;ve got me all excited Zeveroth. =D Let me know if there&#039;s anything I can do to help you out, but for now, there&#039;s some speed runs available at [<a href="http://speeddemosarchive.com/SuperMetroid.html" rel="nofollow">speeddemosarchive.com</a>]]]></description>

<title>Re: Metroid: Other M and Riivolution</title><link>http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,58953,59632#msg-59632</link><description><![CDATA[ I have played Metroid since the days of the NES and Game boy. I would love to help you out. Although I would need a Super metroid game to refresh myself. I also would not mind fiddling around with the new Metroid Other M games text and music. I will take a look at the game with My wiitool set and see what we can start with. I am in no way implying that I will be able to get any of it done anytime soon , as I am still playing that game. I will however take a look and let you know what I may be able to contribute to your new story. In regards to everyone else, I think that the poster has a great idea that could be a reality with just a little bit of help from everyone else.]]></description>

I don&#039;t know how many people would potentially take up this project, but it can be done.]]></description>

<title>Re: Metroid: Other M and Riivolution</title><link>http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,58953,59232#msg-59232</link><description><![CDATA[ I wasn&#039;t refering to hacking a ROM/ISO, I prefer the fact that Riivolution requires a copy of the actual game. Nor any single person commiting a large portion of their time each week to this project (single-time contributions to a project would be just as helpful).<br /><br />It seems that, at least in Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, you can replace level, texture, sound, and music data with whatever real-time injected content you like. By changing each room in Other M, with multiple amateur level designers and texture artists, dividing the work in to bite-size pieces, injecting new level, music, and character data (recycling as much of the original game as possible to reduce load times from the SD card), to create a game map very reminiscient of Super Metroid&#039;s Zebes, but with tunnels that twist and turn, and such. And it wouldn&#039;t have to be the longest game ever, don&#039;t ever have to go to Maridia or Lower Norfair.<br /><br />Mostly I&#039;m just looking for people who would be interested in either working on it or helping me to understand what I need to know to start doing it myself.<br /><br />If this isn&#039;t the right place, I would like it if someone would let me know if they have an idea where the best place to turn to would be?<br /><br />I&#039;m sorry if anyone feels like I am wasting their time with this request.]]></description>

A rom hacker (one who modifies a rom of a game) might be more interested.]]></description>

That cannot be done (without some serious modifications) and is not what this section of the forum is for.]]></description>
