Probably PC only, which sucks.

But it's a fan made game, which makes it really impressive.

Wh00t that page has Metroid Omega (a ROM hack of Metroid 1 that Redrum and I worked on a while back). :)
**downloads Minitroid**

EDIT:
I just played it, it's pretty great.  Got me a few Energy and Missile Tanks and made it to the first save point. :)
I kinda want MiniVania now.  >_>
PROGRAMMERS, GO MAKE IT HAPPEN! :P

I also got my hands on this game after replying to this thread this morning. The game-play is very solid. Even more-so then the hacks I've seen out there as of late. The music fits the areas well and while simplistic, it all works out well.

Here it is a bit more visible.

(You see the score counter and lives counter when you pause the game.  You also see the life counter briefly if you gain a life, like in DraculaXX)

Also, this is just a mockup.

This looks interesting, but to say its the best Metroid since Super is rather idiotic.

You'll need the Metroid Super ZeroMission patch, an IPS patch utility , a SNES ... can create their own miniature Metroid adventure, give Minitroid a shot!
