Description
Metriod Prime If you're a fan of Nintendos classic Metroid franchise you know you deserve this. You have waited much too long to be denied. Super Metroid was released in April of 1994 and since then there has been a nagging question in the back of your mind: When will Samus return? Do not fret. Open season on Metroids has begun.

Samus first stopped the evil Space Pirates and Mother Brain from
amassing an army of Metroids on the planet Zebes. Then she was called
on to finish the job on SR388, ultimately ridding the universe of all
but a single Metroid larva. In Super Metroid, for the Super Nintendo
Entertainment System, Samus thwarted Mother Brain's attempt to snatch
the captive Metroid larva from the scientists on Ceres. Now, Samus is
once again called to investigate Space Pirate activities on the
unexplored Tallon IV. Her adventure begins as she enters a mysterious
derelict spaceship.
For legions of Metroid fans, Samus Aran is a true hero. Gamers old
enough to remember the original Metroid will never forget their
surprise when learning that the armored character they had been
controlling for days on end was actually a woman! Of course, you were
only let in on the secret if you were able to beat the game in less
than three hours -- no easy task.
The original Metroid
premiered on the original NES in August of 1986. Gamers had to wait
until November of 1991 for another adventure starring Samus, when
Metroid II: Return of Samus was released for Game Boy. The ultimate
tribute to alien annihilation came to the Super NES in April of 1994,
in the form of Super Metroid. When it was released, Super Metroid was
the largest Super NES game ever made, weighing in at a hefty 24 Megs.
