Metroid is a franchise like no other. Since it was
first released in the late 1980s, the Metroid series has continued
to evolve. It started as a simple 8-bit exploration game, but is
now a full-fledged first-person adventure. With the release of Metroid
Prime Hunters on Nintendo DS, Metroid will once again evolve - this
time into the world of online gaming. But who was behind Metroid?
How do the games fit together? And what does the future hold for
Samus? To celebrate the release of Hunters, we here at Random Nintendo
are answering all of these questions with our latest special: Metroid
Week.

take a look at Yokoi's many contributions, ranging from
Love Testers and Light Guns to Game & Watches and
Game Boys.

continues to grow, it's becoming increasingly harder
to piece it all together. That's where we come in. We've

on Zebes to Fusion's mysterious "X."
