It won a number of Game of the Year awards, and it is considered by many critics and gamers to be one of the greatest video games ever made, remaining one of the highest-rated games on Metacritic. The game garnered critical praise and commercial success, selling more than a million units in North America alone.

The game was a collaboration between Retro’s staff in Austin, Texas, and Japanese Nintendo employees, including producer Shigeru Miyamoto, who suggested the project after visiting Retro’s headquarters in 2000. The story follows Samus as she battles the Space Pirates and their biological experiments on the planet Tallon IV. Like previous games in the series, Metroid Prime has a science fiction setting in which players control the bounty hunter Samus Aran.

Metroid Prime is the first of the three-part Prime storyline, which takes place between the original Metroid and Metroid II: Return of Samus. On the same day as its North American release, Nintendo also released the Game Boy Advance game Metroid Fusion, marking the return of the Metroid series after an eight-year hiatus following Super Metroid (1994). Because exploration takes precedence over combat, Nintendo classifies the game as a first-person adventure rather than a first-person shooter. Metroid Prime is the fifth main installment in the Metroid series, and the first Metroid game to use 3D computer graphics. It was released in North America on November 17, 2002, and in Japan and Europe the following year.
