When Nintendo announced Metroid Prime 4 at E3 2017, it sent fans into a frenzy. Like any game series, Metroid has had its ups ( Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion, Samus Returns) and downs ( Other M, Federation Force), but the Metroid Prime series on the GameCube introduced a whole new generation to Samus Aran while flipping the formula on its head by turning the 2D platformer into an open-ended, three-dimensional first-person shooter.
All three Metroid Prime games — developed by Retro Studios — were critically acclaimed, but after Metroid Prime 3: Corruption hit the Wii in 2007, the series vanished. Fans waited ten years for news of a sequel or a reboot, and then, in June 2017, their prayers were answered.
