Item Description
Few DS games showed off the hardware like Metroid Prime Hunters. Nintendo Software Technology built a fast, smooth first-person shooter for a handheld and solved the control problem by letting you aim with the stylus on the touch screen, a setup that feels closer to a PC mouse than anything else on a portable of its day. Nintendo was confident enough to put a preview in the box with the original DS in North America, the Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt demo, and the finished game arrived in 2006 with a full campaign and a multiplayer suite that kept DS owners battling for years.
The story is pure bounty-hunter pulp. A telepathic message promises that the secret of ultimate power lies in the Alimbic Cluster of the Tetra Galaxy, and Samus is not the only one listening. Six rival hunters race her for it: Kanden, Spire, Trace, Noxus, Sylux and Weavel, each with a signature weapon and an alternate form of their own, from Trace's long-range Imperialist to Weavel's Battlehammer. Across worlds such as Alinos, the Celestial Archives, Arcterra and the Vesper Defense Outpost, Samus scans the ruins of the vanished Alimbic civilization, solves puzzles with the Morph Ball and hunts for the eight Octoliths, while her rivals drop in to fight her for each prize.
Multiplayer is what made Hunters famous. Up to four players can face off over local wireless, choosing among the seven hunters in modes such as Battle, Survival, Bounty, Capture, Defender, Nodes and Prime Hunter, each hunter with its own speed, weapon and alternate form to master. The game was also built around Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, with online matches and voice chat between friends, a striking idea for a 2006 handheld; that service has long since closed, so today the arenas belong to local play. Reviewers were cooler on the campaign's repeated boss encounters, but the shooting itself, quick, precise and readable on a small screen, drew strong praise.
Hunters also matters more now than it did in 2006. Sylux, the Federation-hating hunter who debuts here, returned as Samus's adversary in Metroid Prime 4: Beyond nearly two decades later, which makes this the place to see where that rivalry started. Played on original hardware, it is a reminder of how much ambition Nintendo packed into a DS card, and a chapter of the Prime saga well worth revisiting now that Sylux is back in the spotlight.
