Item Description
Rain streaks across Samus Aran's visor on the surface of Tallon IV. Steam fogs it over near vents. A bright blast catches her reflection in the glass for a split second. Within minutes of starting Metroid Prime, it is clear that Retro Studios understood something many feared they would miss: taking Metroid into first person was never about turning it into a shooter. It was about putting you inside the suit.
Retro, a Texas studio working closely with Nintendo, rebuilt Metroid's exploration in 3D with remarkable craft. Tallon IV unfolds as one interconnected planet: the overgrown Chozo Ruins, the snowbound Phendrana Drifts, the molten Magmoor Caverns and the Space Pirates' Phazon Mines, all stitched together by lifts and locked doors that only give way once Samus recovers the right upgrade. The Morph Ball swings the camera into third person for bomb puzzles and Spider Ball tracks, the Wave, Ice and Plasma Beams open new routes, and the Thermal and X-Ray Visors reveal enemies and passages that were invisible a moment ago. The Scan Visor may be the smartest idea of all, letting you piece together the fall of the Chozo and the Pirates' Phazon experiments from carved lore and intercepted data logs at your own pace.
The opening aboard a crippled Pirate frigate ends with Ridley escaping to the planet below, and the chase builds through set-piece bosses that test every tool you have collected, from the stone colossus Thardus to the Omega Pirate and a rematch with Meta Ridley before the final descent into the Impact Crater. Kenji Yamamoto's score ties it together, and the Phendrana Drifts theme in particular is one of the most recognizable pieces of music in the series, gentle and haunting against the falling snow.
Critics hailed it as a masterpiece on its 2002 release, and its 97 on Metacritic puts it among the highest-rated games ever made. It launched the Prime trilogy and earned a full remaster on Switch two decades later, but this is the original, built around the GameCube pad's lock-on targeting and quick beam swaps on the C-stick. Owners of Metroid Fusion could even link a Game Boy Advance to unlock the original NES Metroid and Samus's Fusion Suit. Few games make a stronger case for the GameCube itself.

About the game
A 3D exploration-focused metroidvania with first-person shooting mechanics and the first 3D entry in the Metroid series, Metroid Prime follows Samus Aran after the events of Metroid (1986) as she boards a Space Pirate frigate, then chases her escaping archrival Ridley into the intricately structured Tallon IV, a planet full of deadly wildlife and former home to the advanced and ancient Chozo race.
