Although no [[Metroid (Series)|Metroid]] games were ever made for the N64, [[Samus Aran|Samus]] made an appearance in [[Super Smash Bros. (game)|Super Smash Bros.]] as a playable character. Supposedly, a Metroid game was coming out for the ill-fated 64 DD add-on, but the game was cancelled before it entered production due to the lack of a stable idea. This Project eventually became [[Metroid Prime]], for the GameCube.
