Minecraft might be more than a decade old now, but somehow the game's community continues to surprise us. While there's been entire calculators and computers recreated within the game before, a Reddit user by the name of Nyubug has now decided to recreate the Game Boy Advance title Metroid Fusion in the base version of Minecraft on PC.
The footage below looks just like the 2002 GBA title until it eventually zooms out and reveals the Minecraft game world and the player in control. This is arguably a step above the recreation of the Game Boy title Pokémon Red within Minecraft.
Over on Reddit, Nyubug goes into detail about the project, explaining how the current system has a smooth working camera, player physics, along with sprite and background animations. A custom vanilla shader system is also being used, but no mods have been implemented.
This is quite possibly one of the most impressive creations we've ever seen in Minecraft. What do you think, though? Tell us in the comments.

This....this is even harder than a flat out remake. I mean...if you can make a game run like this, emulate away!
If people can achieve things like this in a game that wasn't even meant to be used like this, imagine the kind of stuff people will be cooking up in Dreams (a release that is meant to be a game creation tool) in a few years!
Anyhow, impressive work by a talented individual.
And now we wait for the Cease and Desist now that a news article about it has been created. Sad moment.
The fact its in vanilla Minecraft is insane, even with mods this would be a colossal undertaking. Just goes to show that even though all those years the game was slagged by ‘hardcore gamers’, you can push the boundaries of Minecraft far more than was even dreamed of when it was first released.
I don't even understand how this works. Like, is the game literally recreated piece by piece?
Fans: Give us the next Metroid game!
Metroid Developer: No.
Fans: Fine we'll just create our own game then!
Minecraft just let us see how many talanted and creative people there are in the gaming induatry.
Minecraft is there on the top of gaming history even if it is a modern game.
All hail Minecraft!
Honestly, nothing surprises me with this game anymore. You tell me tomorrow that someone used Minecraft recreate the Witcher 3 and it runs on a toaster and maybe I will be surprised.
Maybe.
I'm looking but I still don't understand what I'm looking at.
Nintendo shutting this down in 3.....2.....1......
This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. Makes me proud to be a Minecraft fan.
I’ve never played Minecraft, my son got it for Christmas and I’ve watched him playing it with my friends and my daughter since then... I simply cannot get my teeny tiny brain around this 😂
Saw this when I was scrolling through r/minecraft the other day. It looked awesome!
CEASE AND DESTROY!!!! I mean, DESIST.
Pretty impressive how fast this stuff moves, now that the programmable blocks are so advanced.
I'm still somewhat partial to actual redstone circuits myself, but those of course have obvious limitations. ^^
Ten years in, I can barely build my own house.
I can't even begin to understand how someone does this. If I just saw the first part of that video, I would've been convinced I was looking at the GBA game.
Very impressive.
