NDS Metroid Prime Hunters - Update

A few new facts on Metroid Prime Hunters. Head inside if you want to stay up-to-date on the upcoming shooter.

Gamepro Magazine supplied its readers with a few new facts on the upcoming 3D shooter on the Nintendo DS, Metroid Prime Hunters. Below, six of the most important parts:

1. Metroid Prime Hunters will have 5 different planets, and at least 25 different areas.

2. Weavel can split his body into two sections, one of which is a stationary automatic gun battery. It fires at anyone in the way of the mobile section.

3. Each bounty hunter will have his or her own ship. Designs will reflect similarities to the each bounty hunter's armor structure.

4. The Metroid Prime Hunters single-player adventure will be extremely non-linear. You (as Samus) are trying to get the special Alimbic artifacts, but if a rival hunter gets there before you, you must get in your ship, force down to a planet, and take the artifact from him.

5. Nintendo is trying to make each bounty hunter a separate entity. If Metroid Prime Hunters is a success, man may expect new Metroid games with protangonists other than Samus Aran.

6. The story of Metroid Prime Hunters takes place between Metroid Prime 1 and Metroid Prime 2.

  • "...you must get in your ship, force down to a planet, and take the artifact from him." What is "force down to a planet"?

  • a headset would be amazin. i would taunt my opponents soo much

  • To me is was cooler if the game get place after Super Metroid and before Metroid Fusion, but maybe the story is better if interlaced with the "Prime" storyline. But i wait to see. And I wait Metroid Dread too, I hope they have only frozen and not deleted the project.

  • Hmm, if this takes place in between Prime 1 & 2..... anyone else think a surprise visit from Dark Samus could happen?

  • apparantly this game also has some kind of scan visor. the whole game sounds cool and unlocking the other bounty hunters and playing in their point of view would be amazing.

  • Dang!!! That's totally sweet!!!

    Ali/FireGalaxy DS-x2, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • wow, i got a mention! this is something to register over! i preordered this back in sept. 05. i can't wait!

  • I'm already prepared :). I have my pre-order, my DS, and my handy-dandy pink stylus all ready.

    stoof, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • Awsome! I like the direction this Metriod is going! I hope I win the Nintendo power contest, then I could be playing this sooner then anyone else! :)

  • nar I hope not, Idd just play online no matter what single player was like.

    Trent, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • I hope this game rocks in single player. Hope that once you finished with Samus, you can play single player from other bounty hounters perspective, just to give it a twist and encourage replaying.

    Olpus Bonzo, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • heh sounds cool.

    Trent, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • @ Shinneri: Single player won't be a after thought; they were working on it from the day DS launched. Then they decided to add WiFi play some time after wifi for ds was launched.

    Ali/FireGalaxy DS-x2, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • Oh gosh this game will rock!

    carldermonkey, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • I hope the single player isn't just an afterthrough... though wi-fi WILL rule. :)

    shinneri, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • I can't wait!!! W00t for Metroid Prime Hunters!

    Nintendude, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • cant wait to get my hands on it

    gi4d2, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • I'm sure it will.

    Andrew, 30-11--0001 at 00:00
  • Cool. I hope the game destroys sales expectations.
