Metroid Prime Hunters - Hands On
We take the greedy bounty hunters out for an online test fragging
Mar 01, 2006
Other than a roster of all new, alien bounty hunters and an emphasis on touch screen, multiplayer deathmatching, all we could say about Metroid Prime Hunters before today was that we'd jump into the shadiest fight club around to get our hands on it. Now, after spending some quality time torching, bombing and bashing three other players in Wi-Fi match ups, we can safely say the wait will be worth it. The first aspect to zero in on is how non-traditional the fragging is. The six hunters and » Read Full Metroid Prime Hunters preview

Metroid Prime Hunters
Will adventure take a backseat to running and gunning in the Metroid universe? We're weeks from finding out
Dec 20, 2005
Hard as it is to believe now, Metroid's switch from side-scrolling corridor sprint to first person adventure freaked everyone out. Running and gunning, after all, was never the core of heroine Samus' purview. Today, though, the series is one of Nintendo's most successful, and the bounty hunter couldn't be in a better position to try new things.
