The game was very well received for its tight controls and gameplay, but received some criticism for its easy difficulty and lack of reliance on puzzles, and that the game was relatively short when compared to its predecessors.ĭuring the events of Corruption, the Federation begins using Phazon as a weapon, and gives Samus this ability in the form of the PED Suit. The same controls were recycled for use in the Metroid Prime: Trilogy release. It used the revolutionary control scheme used in the New Play Control! versions of Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.
#IS THE METROID PRIME TRILOGY A REMASTER SERIES#
The final game in the Prime series and the sequel to Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Corruption was the first Metroid game to be released for the Nintendo Wii in 2007. She manages to destroy the Ing presence, collapse Dark Aether, and seems to destroy Dark Samus as well. She makes contact with the local people, known as the Luminoth, and uses Portals that connect the two dimensions on the planet to repel the Ing, as well as the Space Pirates who were mining Phazon on the planet and experimenting on Tallon Metroids. The marines she was sent to assist were dead before Samus arrived. Dark Samus and the Space Pirates also ventured to the planet, attracted by the Phazon there. She follows the marines to the planet Aether, which had also been infected by Phazon after a meteor impact, creating a hellish mirror image known as Dark Aether infested with dark creatures called the Ing. In this installment, Samus is hired by the Galactic Federation to make contact with and render assistance to a squadron of Galactic Federation Marines that went missing in the Dasha region. Metroid Prime 2: Echoes received a reputation for having punishing difficulty, but was still well-received. It was released for the Nintendo Gamecube in 2004 and was the first Metroid game in the series to feature a multiplayer function. The successor to the highly-acclaimed first-person adventure Metroid Prime, Echoes is the second installment in the Prime series. Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Main article: Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Though Samus defeats the creature successfully, it manages to survive, and using DNA from the Phazon Suit it rips from her, Metroid Prime becomes the entity known as Dark Samus. She dismantles the Space Pirate labs and mining operations and heads into the Impact Crater of the meteor, where she encounters an intensely-mutated Metroid known as Metroid Prime. On the surface she uncovers a series of Space Pirate operations involving a powerful substance known as Phazon, which was brought to the planet on the back of a strange meteor and was slowly devastating the local ecosystem. Samus follows the distress signal of a Space Pirate frigate to the planet Tallon IV, a former Chozo colony. The game is officially classified by Nintendo as a first-person adventure rather than a first-person shooter, though there are many combat sequences, because of the extensive exploration elements in the game. Metroid Prime was released for the Nintendo GameCube in 2002 and was the first 3D Metroid game. Installments Console Titles Metroid Prime Main article: Metroid Prime Along the way Samus discovers the origin of all Phazon and must destroy it to save the galaxy. One such enemy is a mutated Metroid known as Metroid Prime, who absorbs DNA from Samus and becomes Dark Samus, and is the main antagonist of the series. Samus must save several planets from the spread of Phazon, which has the ability to decimate entire ecosystems, while battling enemies who would use the power of Phazon for their own purposes. The Prime series trilogy - Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption - follows Samus Aran as she combats Space Pirates experimenting on Metroids with the recently discovered mutagenic substance known as Phazon. The three main titles were later combined with enhanced controls and released on the Wii as the Metroid Prime Trilogy.Ĭhronologically, the Prime series falls between the events of Metroid/ Metroid: Zero Mission and Metroid II: Return of Samus, but the storyline is greatly self-contained and has little effect on future games.
Instead, the games were released on the next two generations of video game consoles: two on the Nintendo GameCube, two on the Nintendo DS, and one on the Wii. The games heralded a revival of the Metroid series in 2002 after an eight year absence, as the series did not see a release on the Nintendo 64 console as fans had hoped it would.
