'''''Metroid Prime''''' is | '''''Metroid Prime''''' is a video game developed by Retro Studios and Nintendo for the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. It is the first 3D game in the Metroid series, the fifth main installment, and the first of the three part ''Metroid Prime'' storyline. | ||
Despite taking place in the first person view, ''Metroid Prime'' is classified by Nintendo as a first-person adventure rather than a first-person shooter, due to the large exploration component of the game and its precedence over combat. As with all Metroid games, players solve puzzles, perform platform jumps, and fight enemies in a large, open ended world. Along the way, the player finds power ups that improve her abilities, and clues about the mystery of the planet. The story is told organically; the story is revealed through scan logs, allowing the player to dive into the story or ignore it as they see fit. | |||
''Metroid Prime'' was re-released in Japan in 2009 for [[Wii]] as part of the ''New Play Control!'' series.

The credit system from ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption|Prime 3]]'' is also included to unlock the original bonus content, as well as the ability to take snapshots of gameplay. ''Prime'', ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]'', and ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]'' were bundled together on a single disc as ''[[Metroid Prime: Trilogy]]'', released in North America on August 24, 2009.
