Revision as of 16:23, 11 November 2017
Metroid is a video game series published by Nintendo and primarily produced by the company's first-party developers, though second-party Fuse Games and third-party Team Ninja have also developed for the series. It debuted in Japan with Metroid (メトロイド, Metoroido) on August 6, 1986, and was later released in North America (August 1987) and PAL regions (January 15, 1988). All Metroid video games have been developed exclusively for Nintendo video game consoles and handhelds, dating from the Nintendo Entertainment System to the current generation of video game consoles. The franchise consists of eleven video games, the latest of which is Metroid: Other M for the Wii. Comics and manga adaptations, and video game soundtracks released on audio CDs are also available and occasionally figurines.
The series revolves around Samus Aran, a bounty hunter who protects the galaxy from the Space Pirates and their attempts to harness the power of fictional organisms, especially the eponymous Metroids. The series' gameplay contains elements from shooter, platforming, and adventure games. It is known for its non-linear progression and solitary exploration.[1] The 2D Metroid games are side-scrollers, and the 3D Metroid Prime series gives the player a first-person perspective,[1] while Other M is a third-person shooter with the ability to switch to first-person view.[2] Metroid is one of Nintendo's most successful franchises, with over 17.44 million units sold by September 2012.[3] The games have received varying levels of critical acclaim,[1] while the most recent game Other M has met with polarizing reviews.[4] A side-story to the Metroid Prime trilogy, Metroid Prime: Federation Force, has been announced for a 3DS release in 2016, and is confirmed to be optimized for the New 3DS in a similar manner to The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Shinya Takahashi, the general manager of the Nintendo Software Planning & Development, previously stated that Nintendo has plans for 2D and 3D Metroid titles "in the near future".[5]

Dan: Well, since R&D 1 was involved in the development of Game Boy color, I think they were able to put a special "Metroid palette" in the GBC hardware. This makes Metroid II look really, really nice on Game Boy Color. In fact, it looks a lot like the NES game on GBC
