It is in the Wii U version.
Here's your new Retro's Metroid.
You have to swim out of the area and come back through a closed passage - meaning you take a hit. It's not something many players would even think to do.
Makes sense why I didn't see it then! I probably should have read the article first before posting, huh? :P Though there's still a 0% chance that guy is the first player to ever find it. But I probably shouldn't be too harsh on him - maybe he just needed a win in life. And maybe I need my morning coffee so I can stop grumbling about someone being wrong on the Internet!
I also didn't know this. That's completely rad - does anyone happen to have a screenshot? I just started replaying Super Metroid on a whim a few days ago, and the Crocomire melting sequence is still one of the best scenes from the 16-bit era.
Don't be so dismissive; he found something and was the first to tell the internet about it, that's more than what any other hypothetical early discoverers did.
I know, I know. I'm being too harsh. It's still a really neat surprise that I wouldn't have otherwise heard about without him tweeting it (as this thread wouldn't have even been created). I'd be excited too if I were him. Sorry for bringing needless snark into an otherwise friendly conversation!
I need to see this!
Nice! It got datamined pretty soon after release. Didn't realize people were still hunting for it.
