Metroid Prime (game): Difference between revisions

''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 [[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]]''.
