What's this? A handheld, first-person shooter that crams in all the headshots, layered level designs and multiplayer options of the typical Xbox Live title? And it's on the touch-screen powered Nintendo DS? If we hadn't played it ourselves we would barely believe it. But it's true. Metroid Prime Hunters takes the usually explorative, space-faring series online in the biggest possible way: its stylus-and-L-button control scheme (think PC's mouse-and-keyboard setup) scorches every other portable ...

An online, handheld deathmatch is about to take over your Nintendo DS. Metroid Prime Hunters is just a few days away, and its seven tough-as-nails bounty hunters (heroine Samus included) are going to do everything in their armor-cracking, shape-shifting power to put you under. Curious as to how it is you're going down? From the official Hunters website: "Samus Aran is well known throughout the galaxy as an efficient and experienced bounty hunter. Few other hunters can compete with Samus' long ...   » Read Full Metroid Prime Hunters preview
Metroid Prime Hunters - Hands On

Mar 4, 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

Mar 3, 2006
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. Case in point: Metroid Prime Hunters is a fast action shooter that plays down the series' deliberately paced gameplay. Forget searching for clues; ...   » Read Full Metroid Prime Hunters preview
