Cuthbert is credited under special thanks in Metroid II: Return of Samus. According to Cuthbert in 2016, he assisted with optimization and gave programming advice while he was working on X, also for the Game Boy.https://twitter.com/dylancuthbert/status/832477923789590528 He had previously answered a question about his work on Metroid II in a 2009 French interview, saying that he exchanged tips with the game's lead programmer, Takahiro Harada, about how to take advantage of the Game Boy's power.Yes, I remember [working on Metroid II]! Actually, when I was part of the Yokoi group, the lead programmer and I were often exchanging tips to make the best use of the machine. They also thought thanking me would be… nice ? In any case, being acknowledged by them is really cool! (Translated by Glaedrax of Shinesparkers) In 2001, Cuthbert founded Q-Games, a development studio in Japan that works closely with both Nintendo and Sony.
