Super Metroid PC port: quick answers
- Do I need to own Super Metroid?
- Yes. Super Metroid Launcher needs game files from a copy you own. PlayPorted links only to the project page and never to game files.
- Is the Super Metroid PC port finished?
- Yes, the project calls it playable. Its last update was 2023.
- Which systems does it run on?
- Windows.
- Is it an emulator?
- No. Super Metroid Launcher rebuilds the game's source code, so it runs as a native program instead of through an emulator.
