* ScrewedByTheLawyers: The finished game had been out for little more than a day before Metroid Database, one of the websites that hosted it, was hit by a DMCA takedown notice by Nintendo, and about a day later most of other download links were taken down. It was implied by Reggie Fils-Aime that [=AM2R=] only got the axe in order to protect the profits that ''VideoGame/MetroidSamusReturns'' would have brought in. However, on a brighter note at this point the beast is already loose and it's very likely that Nintendo will be unable to completely erase it from the Internet now.

Added DiffLines:
* OutdatedByCanon: Due to the original ''Metroid II'' being monochrome, fans disagreed prior to ''Samus Returns'' as to whether the "dangerous liquid" keeping Samus from progressing until all the Metroids in the area are dead is magma or some type of poison/acid. ''[=AM2R=]'' went with the former, but ''Videogame/MetroidSamusReturns'' depicts the liquid as toxic and purple.
