What is SMetR about? That website is less than useful.

It's just a completely redesigned (longer, harder) Super Metroid. The map layout is completely new and there are some new game mechanics, such as speed booster puzzles in the vein of Zero Mission and Fusion. See the map I linked above.

That sounds awesome. Very awesome. Is it 'good' by Metroid standards, or merely 'good' by fan-crap standards?

After it gets going I'd say it's definitely good by Metroid standards. The level design is excellent.
 
It doesn't run on some emulators (you need a pretty new version of Snes9x or Zsnes) on PC, so it's hard to say without first hand experience

Wall jumping is slightly harder now and I actually preferred to play it on keyboard rather than my pad so the psp d-pad might make it frustrating at times. Also in case you wonder, you need a power-up to wall jump, but you get it very early.
 
Hmm, I had my PSP's d-pad modded, so that shouldn't be a concern. SNES emulation however, is pretty crappy on the PSP. I can't believe that no one's really solved it yet. :/

No. Especially when the commentary is PRETENDING to be playing the game.
The funny commentary is awesome.....and certainly helps the video stay entertaining when the player is dying to the same obstacles over and over again. Much improved over the original version.
 
I recently found a way to play Seiken Denetsu 3 with 3 players. The game only lets you play 2 players normally for whatever reason. Its not a huge hack but it made my two friends and I very happy.

the original is better than the commentary, you dont need some guy talking over it to tell how pissed the actual player was getting by the end.

The commentary makes it more funny, more entertaining, and more relatable. I don't need it there, but it certainly acts as an enhancement.
 
Still playing ReDesign, I have yet to beat it.

Yoshi's Island full hack. Full of awesome, too.

Zelda : PW is currently being sort of revamped, it's playable (and beatable), but it has some bugs and typos. Some people also bitched about the beginning being too hard and the blue boomerang being a missable item.

There's also one that makes secret of evermore a 2 player game; it always baffled me why they didn't make it a multiplayer game...

If anyone wants to try it, I uploaded the patch file here.
:lol Thanks! Don't know how many times I've seen mario die now...

[EDIT] I can't even do the first jump, the guy in that video was amazing lol
[EDIT 2] Wow they should make people in Prison play this, this is driving me insane. Can only get up to the first Pipe section before I die.
