DS Feature | Metroid Prime Hunters

So, Nintendo’s got a massive E3 announcement waiting in the wings. But as we detailed yesterday, not two years out the Wii has already blown its wad, unleashing Mario, Zelda, Metroid and Brothers Smash. It really makes you wonder what exactly they’ve got left to pull out of their puffy red hat.

The History of Metroid

DS Feature | Metroid Prime Hunters

DS Feature | Metroid Prime Hunters

Chaos, mayhem, uproar and riots. That's what GamesRadar seems to have triggered with last week's feature, "The Ten Greatest Years in Videogame History ". We might as well have burned down the internet, for all the email and forum flaming we inspired. Some folks praised us, some wanted us crucified, and one called us "wankers", ignoring that the feature only covered the US market. Granted, we set ourselves up. We knew this feature was so vast, so subjective and so dependent upon reader ... » Read More
