As the first entry in the Prime storyline, the game takes place between the original Metroid and Metroid II: Return of Samus.

While mostly taking place in a first-person perspective, it is officially classified by Nintendo as a first-person adventure rather than a first-person shooter, due to the large exploration component of the game. The story follows Samus Aran battling the Space Pirates and their biological experiments on planet Tallon IV. Metroid Prime attained widespread critical acclaim from various publications and was a commercial success, selling over 1 million units in North America alone.

It was developed by Nintendo-owned Retro Studios and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo GameCube.
#METROID PRIME 2 ECHOES REMASTERED SERIES#
The series was created by Retro Studios (which is currently developing Metroid Prime 4), a Nintendo-owned Austin-based team that's also responsible for the Donkey Kong Country reboot games.Metroid Prime ( メトロイドプライム, Metoroido Puraimu ?) is the first 3D Metroid game, released on November 18, 2002. Metroid Prime was and is a stark deviation from traditional Metroid games, with the player controlling Samus from a first-person perspective, having to aim her shots in a 3D space, as opposed to the original 2D metroidvania side-scrollers. It's only sensible for the trilogy ports to launch before Prime 4, so fans can get a chance to catch up, but Nintendo has yet to reveal anything about this title besides the logo. Metroid Prime 4 has been confirmed to be in development, having restarted from scratch in 2019. Since Prime Remastered was instantly dropped after its Direct announcement, the other two titles could be dropped in a similar fashion, especially if they're simpler ports.

The question is, when will these titles release? Furthermore, him taking the time to reaffirm this means, at the least, that he's still confident about the information after all this time. He was undoubtedly correct about the first game, so it's likely he's right about the other two as well. That was about eight months ago, but after the Metroid Prime Remastered reveal, Grubb reaffirmed his prior claim, as seen below. He'd also affirmed that only the first game would be getting the higher-scale remaster treatment, while the rest would be simpler ports, likely only with controls adjustments.

And much more pertinent to this story, Grubb accurately leaked the recently released Metroid Prime Remastered. Late last year, he predicted that EA was working on a single-player Marvel game, which EA confirmed to be Iron Man a month later. The recent February Nintendo Direct saw the announcement and instant release of Metroid Prime Remastered, a Nintendo Switch version of the original 2002 Metroid Prime title with updated visuals and controls following this announcement, industry insider Jeff Grubb reaffirmed his prior claims that Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption will also land on Switch eventually.Grubb is a well-known insider who's often right on the money when leaking unannounced game info.
