The games heralded a revival of the ''Metroid'' series in 2002 after an eight year absence, as the series [[Metroid 64|did not see a release]] on the [[nwiki:Nintendo 64|Nintendo 64]] console as fans had hoped it would. Instead, the games were released on the next two generations of video game consoles: two on the [[Nintendo GameCube]], two on the [[Nintendo DS]], and one on the [[Wii]]. The three main titles were later combined with enhanced controls and released on the Wii as the ''[[Metroid Prime Trilogy]]''.

In the midst of her adventure the origin of all Phazon is revealed, a sentient planet called [[Phaaze]]. [[Leviathan]]s, living Phazon-laced meteors, are birthed on Phaaze and launched towards other planets, which they infect with enough Phazon to eventually transform their targets into more sentient planets. [[Dark Samus]] takes control of Phaaze and a force of [[Space Pirate]]s in an attempt to spread Phazon throughout the universe. Samus works closely with the [[Galactic Federation]] in this title to end the Phazon's corrupting effects on three Federation worlds: [[Norion]], [[Elysia]], and [[Bryyo]].

Samus successfully defeats Dark Samus and destroys the planet Phaaze, eliminating all Phazon in the galaxy.

====''Metroid Prime: Trilogy''====

''Trilogy'' is the Collector's Editon of all three ''Metroid Prime'' games in the series, with the first two being ported for the Nintendo Wii in 2009. The game borrowed the controls from the New Play Control! versions of the first two ''Metroid Prime'' titles released in Japan. It also has the Multiplayer of ''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes'' with the new controls as well. The game featured concept artwork and other extras to those who purchased the package. ''Metroid Prime Trilogy'' is one of the few titles on the Nintendo Channel with a Platimum rating, indicating its replay value and its gameplay elements. The trilogy is defined as a must-own of three of the most highly-acclaimed games for their systems. The game, like the others, had good reception and included all three games into one package. Its production, however, is discontinued.

''Metroid Prime Pinball'' is a pinball-style title that was released in 2005 for the Nintendo DS. The game loosely follows the events of the original ''Metroid Prime'', retaining many of its thematic and graphic elements. Samus's [[Morph Ball]] acts as the pinball. She can progress through various stages resembling all but the [[Chozo Ruins]] area from ''Metroid Prime'' and must defeat bosses along the way.
