i am not a really a fan of remakes because most of the time it is just a visual update. but, this could be good. metroid II on the gameboy was a bitch to navigate through due to the lack of colors and every room looking pretty much the same.
This is an independent project done using an engine designed for making video games on the PC relatively easy. He's not just making a simple visual update, though; a few new abilities from later in the series are being added and the attacks of the later Metroid evolutions is being made more varied.

if they want to really impress me, they'll need to release it on a GBC or GBA cart. :)

I was thinking along the same lines.

I haven't heard much about this in a while. It's nice to see that it's still moving along.
