[1] Metroid Prime is the fifth main Metroid game and the first to use 3D computer graphics and a first-person perspective . It was released in North America in November 2002, and in Japan and Europe the following year. Along with the Game Boy Advance game Metroid Fusion , Prime marked the return of the Metroid series after an eight-year hiatus following Super Metroid (1994). [2] [3] Metroid Prime takes place between the original Metroid and Metroid II: Return of Samus . [4] [5] Players control the bounty hunter Samus Aran as she battles the Space Pirates and their biological experiments on the planet Tallon IV. Metroid Prime was a collaboration between Retro in Austin, Texas , and Japanese Nintendo employees, including producers Shigeru Miyamoto and Kensuke Tanabe . Miyamoto suggested the project after visiting Retro's headquarters in 2000. Since exploration takes precedence over combat, Nintendo described the game as a "first-person adventure" rather than a first-person shooter . [6] Metroid Prime sold more than 2.8 million copies worldwide. [7] It won a number of Game of the Year awards and is regarded by many as among the greatest video games of all time , remaining one of the highest-rated games on Metacritic . [8] Metroid Prime was followed by Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (2004) and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (2007), with Metroid Prime 4: Beyond scheduled for 2025. In 2009, an enhanced version of Metroid Prime was released for the Wii in Japan and as part of the Metroid Prime: Trilogy compilation internationally. A remastered version was released on the Nintendo Switch in 2023. Gameplay Samus in battle with a Flying Pirate. The player character is controlled from a first-person perspective. Metroid Prime is an action-adventure game in which players control protagonist Samus Aran from a first-person perspective, unlike previous games in the Metroid series, [9] [10] with third-person elements used for Morph Ball mode. [9] The gameplay involves solving puzzles to reveal secrets, platform jumping , and shooting foes with the help of a "lock-on" mechanism that allows circle strafing while staying aimed at the enemy. [9] [10] Samus must travel through the world of Tallon IV searching for twelve Chozo Artifacts that will open the path to the Phazon meteor impact crater, while collecting power-ups that let her reach new areas. The Varia Suit, for example, protects Samus' armor against high temperatures, allowing her to enter volcanic regions. Some items are obtained after boss fights. Items must be collected in a specific order; for example, players cannot access certain areas until they find a certain Beam to open doors, or discover new ordnance with which to beat bosses. [11] [12] Players are incentivized to explore to find upgrades that increase Samus' maximum ammunition and health . [13] The heads-up display , which simulates the inside of Samus' helmet, features a radar display, a map, ammunition for missiles, a health meter, a danger meter for negotiating hazardous landscape or materials, and a health bar and name display for bosses. The display can be altered by exchanging visors; one uses thermal imaging , another has x-ray vision , and another features a scanner that searches for enemy weaknesses and interfaces with mechanisms such as force fields and elevators. [11] The game introduces a hint system that provides the player with clues about ways to progress through the game. [14] Players can gain two features by connecting Prime with Metroid Fusion using a GameCube – Game Boy Advance link cable : cosmetic use of the Fusion Suit that Samus wears in Fusion and the ability to play the original Metroid game. [11] [15] Items While Samus is in Morph Ball form, the view changes to a third-person view . Throughout the game, players must find and collect items that improve Samus' arsenal and suit, including weapons, armor upgrades for Samus' Power Suit and items that grant abilities—including the Morph Ball, which allows Samus to compress herself into a ball in order to roll into narrow passages and drop energy bombs, and the Grapple Beam, which works by latching onto special hooks called grapple points, allowing Samus to swing across gaps. Unlike those in earlier games in the series, the beam weapons in Metroid Prime have no stacking ability, in which the traits of each beam merge. Instead, the player must cycle the four beam weapons; there are charge combos with radically different effects for each. Other upgrades include boots that allow Samus to double-jump and a Spider Ball upgr
