Nintendo would follow the game up with Metroid Prime 2: Echos and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption before a full trilogy edition was released on the Nintendo Wii.
It was the first game in the franchise after an eight-year hiatus and was also the first to be a first-person shooter. At the time of its release, the game received near-universal critical praise and went on to sell over 2.2 million copies worldwide. Metroid Prime was originally released for the Nintendo GameCube in 2002 before being re-released on the Nintendo Wii. The Metroid Prime Remastered announcement came after months of rumors and leaks reporting that a remaster was in the works. The announcement came during the most recent Nintendo Direct. The Metroid franchise which began in 1986 has been so influential on the video game industry that it has partially inspired a whole sub-genre of games along with Konami classic "Castlevania" known fittingly as "Metriodvanias." These are action-adventure games that follow a non-linear structure that encourages the re-exploration of areas with unlocked abilities and upgrades.Metroid Prime Remastered was officially unveiled for the Nintendo Switch and will be available for digital download today. There is no sign of remasters of "Metroid Prime 2: Echoes" or "Metroid Prime 3: Corruption" yet, but given the surprising nature of this announcement fans of the franchise may be expecting similar releases for its sequels in the future. A fourth game in the saga for the Switch was announced in 2017 with Retro Studios currently handling development.
The game, which differed from the previous four main Metroid franchise entries by offering a first-person perspective rather than a third-person style, was followed by "Metroid Prime 2: Echoes" for the GameCube in 2005 and "Metroid Prime 3: Corruption" for the Wii in 2007, the latter of which closed out the saga for the time being. The original Metroid Prime was the first of a series of three games known as the Metroid Prime saga, set between the original Metroid and "Metroid II: Return of Samus." Controlling Samus Aran and her iconic power armor, players battle the Space Pirates to shut down biological experiments on the planet Tallon IV.
