For years now I've had ideas for a Metroid fangame floating around in my head. Well, more than ideas, I should say. I have about half of an entire game planned out.
The hypothetical game would focus as much as possible on interesting gameplay mechanics (More items that aren't weapons and don't act as keys, different planets/locations having different levels of gravity, etc.) while building on Super Metroid's gameplay. Ideally the game would have been as free and open-ended as possible, allowing players to beat the game in pretty much any way they want, so much so that it would be possible for skilled players to skip "essential" items, or beat the game without ever collecting a single item if they wanted. Additionally, Samus would be able to salvage weapon/item components from most of the enemies, which would allow the player to create lots of different beams, missles and bombs and such.
Making this would be too much goddamn work, though.
