Some of the designs seem to be inspired by another MetroidVania too, Axiom Verge! But Zillion itself would have made for a great MetroidVania, far better than the Impossible Mission knock-off it was.

[@onaretrotip]

I've never actually played Zillion, but when making this video the first thing I thought of was Impossible Mission!

[@RetroGamePlayers]

Interesting, I think they should call it Retroid.

[@onaretrotip]

LOL

[@iPlaySEGA]

Looks nice!

[@onaretrotip]

Definitely one to watch.

[@mtshark7]

Looks interesting Pete!

[@onaretrotip]

Def one to watch, Mark.

It’s the year 2100, all mankind has been destroyed. The world’s population has now become ‘SH’s’ or ‘Space Hunters’. The true cause for this is unknown, however some have said they spawned because Samus didn’t have her helmet 😂 This looks sick! Smells like Nostalgia. Thank you Samus without a helmet!

[@onaretrotip]

Give this man a Pulitzer!

[@TheRampageTulk]

@@onaretrotip hahahaha I’m waiting

[@luisalves1706]

Thanks.

[@onaretrotip]

Thank you!

[@bjornh1527]

Very promising. But I do hope they change the graphics into their own design and add original music. MD could use a good Metroid clone!

[@onaretrotip]

Yeah, I'd rather a new Metroidvania style game on the MD than a Metroid port anyway.

[@ewstargamer]

Not sure about this one don't get me wrong I love Metroid and it looks great but I would rather play Metroid on the snes then a poorer version of it. Great video fella 👍

[@onaretrotip]

Yeah, I'm hoping they pivot to a completely new idea. Cheers, Alex.

[@TheTurnipKing]

I think it might benefit from a touch more Turrican influence, especially given how much NES Super Turrican ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6Wvhp2Opcx9ppI ) shares with Metroid. The faster speed of Turrican's gameplay would really favour the Megadrive, too.

[@onaretrotip]

Oh, definitely!

[@custardo]

It does look decent, but I just don't understand why anyone would risk their hard work by raising Nintendo's ire at this point. It doesn't take that much imagination in the genre to create something that has a good change to be popular yet still isn't either Metroid or Castlevania

[@gaylordfocker7990]

It doesn't even look like Metroid. Calm down, fanboy.

[@onaretrotip]

Yeah, maybe it was just a Metroid demo for fun at first, but now they're talking about a released version they'll need to pivot to an original IP.

[@RockstarRunner7]

Yeah, definitely not Metroid. Nope.

[@onaretrotip]

😂

[@Matropolis]

Definitely not Metroid 😐

[@onaretrotip]

Indeed.

[@1fightdragons]

Gotta be honest. It does not look very good. The movement seems very janky. Cool video, though!

[@onaretrotip]

Yeah long way to go, but they have addressed the janky movement as something that still needs work.

[@Gojiro7]

2:29 did you actually consult a lawyer about that? or was that just a cheeky joke over how obvious it looks like the thing it's trying not to be a copy of?

[@onaretrotip]

🤦‍♂️
