Just happen to see this game ( Metroid desolation ) on a twitch chanel. Never heard of it before. Is it an actual release ? Can it be bought somewhere. When was it released. Says it's on switch. Did Google it and check gamefaqs but there wasn't much information on it

It's definitely not an official game, seems to be a ROM hack.

Thank you Nintendo for giving us Donkey Kong Jr Math on Nintendo Music

@Dogorilla what exactly would be a rom hack of a game

@Ninfan Basically an edit of a game's code (Metroid Zero Mission's in this case) to add new things or effectively turn it into a whole new game. It's not a scene I've paid much attention to myself but you could probably find this one online if Nintendo hasn't taken it down yet.

It's a rom hack, not an official Nintendo product.

Some programmer built their own game from the Metroid Zero Mission assets.

Switch Physical Collection - 1,529 games (as of November 20th, 2025)
Switch 2 Physical Collection - 3 games (as of November 23rd, 2025)
