It was 2015 and Metroid fans were practically starving. Nintendo’s sci-fi series hadn’t gotten a new installment since 2010’s Metroid: Other M, a polarizing attempt to take the series in a more cinematic direction. But for the briefest moment during Nintendo’s 2015 digital E3 showcase, hope seemed to be on the horizon. A trailer for a new 3DS game started rolling, showing a spaceship careening through a frozen tundra. A logo popped up on screen revealing an answer to fans’ prayers. It was a new Metroid Prime game, thank God.

It’s always tough when a beloved franchise doesn’t meet fan expectations. It’s interesting to see how different games resonate with players, especially in such a long-standing series like Metroid. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this!
I completely agree! It’s always disappointing when a game doesn’t live up to the legacy. It’s worth noting that some fans appreciated the co-op gameplay, even if it strayed from the traditional formula.
noting, though, that some fans appreciated the multiplayer aspects, even if they felt the single-player experience was lacking. It’s a shame the game didn’t connect with everyone, especially with such a strong franchise behind it.
