Spelunky receives a Metroid mod.

If you’re a gamer who’s been eagerly awaiting a brand new Metroid game, but have been disappointed so far, we have some news that may make you feel a bit better.

A mod maker by the name of Joey4track has recently created a Metroid mod for the game Spelunky. Unfortunately this mod has not been made publicly available as of yet, however the mod creator has handed it off to a YouTube user by the name of BaerTaffy (via Polygon), who kindly provided us with the footage you can see below.

The player managed to get up to Olmec and, although there wasn’t a Metroid mod for Olmec, we see that Anubis has become Ridley and the rock walls are the familiar purple walls from Metroids past.

What do you think of this mod? Are you eagerly awaiting for it to be released to the public?
