'''''Metroid Prime''''' (メトロイドプライム, Metoroido Puraimu) is the first game in the ''[[Metroid Prime (series)|Metroid Prime]]'' series, released for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] in November 15, 2002. Metroid Prime is the first game in the series in 3D and the first Metroid game released in eight years after [[Super Metroid]]. The game was developed by the Nintendo-owned [[Retro Studios]] and published by Nintendo. One of the significant new features that the game had, was the use a first-person perspective instead of a side-scroller perspective. Despite the new perspective, the many differences in gameplay that Metroid Prime had to other first-person shooters made Nintendo to officially classify the game as a first-person adventure.

Metroid Prime was first announced on E3 2001. It was later revealed that the game was meant to be played in a first-person perspective instead of a third-person point of view. This news was met with a cold reception from the fans who thought that it was a disgraceful transition to 3D. In addition to that, due to frequent layoffs and corporate reorganization at Retro Studios during development, the game was believed to be a failure throughout gaming related message boards, publications, and magazines. When it was released Metroid Prime was critically acclaimed and became a commercial success, selling over a million copies on American alone. A remake was done for the [[Nintendo Wii|Wii]] with updated controls and improved graphics, released in Japan as part of the "[[New Play Control!]]" series and in North America and Europe it was released together with the other two games of the ''Prime'' Trilogy in the collector´s edition package [[Metroid Prime Trilogy]].
