::I disagree. It depends on the project itself and how much legitimate discussion it gets by [[WP:SOURCES|reputable sources]]. Games like [[I Wanna Be The Guy]] and [[Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden]] have been discussed on actual gaming news sites (IGN, Gamespot, 1UP.com, etc), and Sonic 2 HD is starting to pick up steam, though it's not yet mentioned at [[Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (16-bit)|Sonic 2's article]]. However, ''reputable sources'' is the keyword. Until these remakes are actually noted in places like that, it's not notable enough to be included in this article. This is exactly why the color hack for the M2 GB ROM is always removed from the article whenever someone tries to add it; it's never been discussed in reputable places online.

:::Wasn't disagreeing with that much. I suppose I was being overly simplistic. But, yes, what Arrowned said was basically the case. [[User:King Zeal|King Zeal]] ([[User talk:King Zeal|talk]]) 02:32, 11 August 2008 (UTC) |

::: This isn't true. Sites like Level Opacity[http://www.levelopacity.com/] have discussed AM2R [http://www.levelopacity.com/project-am2r/] and the Metroid II colorization hack has been discussed just about everywhere, such as on Internode[http://games.internode.on.net/], which also discusses it[http://games.internode.on.net/content.php?mode=news&id=3576]. Given the vast amount of discussion that these remake attempts have garnered, your wanton deletion of content is a bit unsettling. How about you try to, instead of just erasing things, actually ADD to an article's content instead?

In the original packaging, the object identified as the "Spazer" in-game was listed as the "Spazer Laser Beam" in the original manual. In Super Metroid, this was officially changed to "Spazer Beam", but the fact still remains that the item's full original name was indeed the "Spazer Laser Beam". One merely needs to manual to confirm this. Here's an excerpt from the original manual:
Spazer Laser Beam
A three way beam with an extremely wide focus is fired when this weapon is discharged.[1]
The "IPS" version floating around isn't actually the *first* version of Metroid II DX Unofficial that was released at all. In actuality, the first M2DXU it utilized a completely different method of colorization, one that relied on the now-defunct "GBColorizer" by MisterFishy. Unlike the IPS patch, the GBColorizer one actually modified several sprites to take advantage of the colorization, rather than just adding color to the game. I've provided a link that has information regarding that original colorization project (but it does not have a link to the ROM, mind you), and I don't think MisterFishy's page is up anymore.
[[1]] <- There's the information regarding the original project. If you would like more information regarding it, please feel free to send me an Instant Message or an Email.

I'm very sure that the readers would like to see a colorized version of the best ending. I have one. http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/9678/colormetroidendrl9.png -Xparasite9 01:05, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
There's a new addition that mentions that DX mode is available on some paks. Metroid II, from what I've read, features some pre-loaded palettes for use with the Super Game Boy, but this is a bit different from the DX version. Perhaps the user was confused by this? -Jacquismo 01:20, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
There have been many fangame projects of Metroid II started up in the past few years, most notably AM2R and Metroid: SR:388. Should these projects be added to the page, even though they are unofficial fan projects? 151.205.80.37 (talk) 12:48, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
