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]]''. | 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.

Chronologically, the ''Prime'' series falls between the events of ''[[Metroid (game)|Metroid]]''/''[[Metroid: Zero Mission]]'' and ''[[Metroid II: Return of Samus]]'', but the storyline is greatly self-contained and has little effect on future games. | Chronologically, the ''Prime'' series falls between the events of ''[[Metroid (game)|Metroid]]''/''[[Metroid: Zero Mission]]'' and ''[[Metroid II: Return of Samus]]'',<ref>{{cite web|quote= 最初のファミコンディスクシステムと、次の『メトロイド２』の間のお話です。外伝として切り離して作るアイデアもあったんですが、外伝って逃げの部分がありますよね？ それで、田邊と相談しまして、一番自然に入れるところに入れたんです。現地のスタッフがよくがんばってくれて、シリーズ内の１作品として、うまくできあがったと思いますよ。| url= http://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/0303/4/index.html| title= 「メトロイド」に託す思い 坂本賀勇インタビュー| site= Nintendo.jp}}</ref> but the storyline is greatly self-contained and has little effect on future games. | ||
The ''Prime'' series trilogy - ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]'', ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]'', and ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]'' - follows [[Samus Aran]] as she combats [[Space Pirate]]s experimenting on [[Metroid (species)|Metroids]] with the recently discovered mutagenic substance known as [[Phazon]]. Samus must save several planets from the spread of Phazon, which has the ability to decimate entire ecosystems, while battling enemies who would use the power of Phazon for their own purposes. One such enemy is a mutated Metroid known as [[Metroid Prime (specimen)|Metroid Prime]], who absorbs DNA from Samus and becomes [[Dark Samus]], and is the main antagonist of the series. Along the way Samus discovers the origin of all Phazon and must destroy it to save the galaxy. | The ''Prime'' series trilogy - ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]'', ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]'', and ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]'' - follows [[Samus Aran]] as she combats [[Space Pirate]]s experimenting on [[Metroid (species)|Metroids]] with the recently discovered mutagenic substance known as [[Phazon]].
