About Super Metroid x fusion

What runs here is not a Nintendo product. X-Fusion is a fan-made total conversion of the 1994 SNES game Super Metroid, assembled over more than ten years by a hacker known as Metaquarius and released on 1 August 2025, with a final major update, version 1.3, in February 2026. It reimagines Metroid Fusion inside Super Metroid's engine: the B.S.L. research station, the X parasites, the SA-X and Samus's computer companion Adam all return, but the story takes its own turn.

Structure follows Fusion rather than Super Metroid. You work through remixed sectors of the B.S.L. station, Adam briefs you in navigation rooms that offer actual dialogue choices, and SA-X encounters break up the exploration. Fusion's tilesets, music, enemies, power-ups and bosses were rebuilt from scratch in the older engine, alongside new abilities and new boss fights, while movement stays Super Metroid's: wall jumps, bomb jumps and shinesparks all apply.

Why play Super Metroid x fusion

The achievement is technical. Reproducing Fusion's sectors, navigation dialogue and SA-X encounters inside a 1994 SNES engine took large quantities of custom assembly, new graphics, new enemy behaviour and new cutscene code, plus rebuilt music and a reworked HUD and map. The author states plainly that it is aimed at veterans of both source games, and the late areas expect you to execute advanced Super Metroid movement under pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Super Metroid X-Fusion an official Nintendo game?

No. It is an unofficial hack of the 1994 SNES game Super Metroid, made by a fan developer known as Metaquarius and released in August 2025. It reuses Metroid Fusion's setting and assets, but Nintendo had no involvement in its creation.

Is X-Fusion just a remake of Metroid Fusion?

Not quite. It borrows Fusion's setting, its sector structure, the SA-X and the navigation rooms, but the map design is new, several bosses and abilities are original to the hack, and the story takes a different turn. Knowing Fusion helps you read the space without telling you where things are.

How hard is X-Fusion compared to Super Metroid?

Considerably harder. The author markets it at players who have already finished both Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion, and the new enemies, combat scenarios and SA-X sequences add pressure the original never applies. The final stretch is the part players most often single out as punishing.

Is Super Metroid x fusion really free to play?

Yes. Every game on OldGames.Games is free to play in your browser. There are no downloads or hidden fees; a free account is required to play.
