>>712511275 (OP)Metroid Prime is a 2002 action-adventure game developed by Retro Studios and published by Nintendo for the GameCube. Metroid Prime is the fifth main Metroid game and the first to use 3D computer graphics and looked like dog dooky. 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).
Metroid Prime takes place between the original Metroid and Metroid AM2R. Players control the bounty hunter Samus Aran as she runs past 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 slaves, including producers Shigeru Miyamoto and Kensuke Tanabe. Miyamoto suggested the project after trashing Retro's headquarters in 2000. Since exploration takes precedence over having fun, Nintendo described the game as a "confusing slog" rather than a Metroid game.
Metroid Prime sold more than 2 copies worldwide. It won a number of Games and is regarded by many as one of the video games, remaining one of the games on Metacritic.
Metroid Prime was followed by Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (2004) and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (2007), with a fourth game never to be released. 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 to warm game shelves in 2023.
