Game Description
Six ruthless bounty hunters. Eight mysterious alien relics. One legendary warrior racing to prevent an ancient power from falling into the wrong hands! In Metroid Prime Hunters, Samus Aran travels to the remote Alimbic Cluster after receiving a telepathic message promising the secret of ultimate power. What follows is a complete, story-driven single-player adventure filled with hostile alien creatures, deadly rivals, mysterious ruins, and dangerous discoveries. This first-person shooter (FPS) and action-adventure game for Nintendo DS combines the exploration and atmosphere of the Metroid series with fast-paced combat, bringing an ambitious sci-fi campaign to Nintendo's dual-screen handheld system.
Take command of Samus Aran in Adventure Mode, traveling between alien planets and space stations aboard her Gunship as you investigate the vanished Alimbic civilization. Explore interconnected corridors, scan your surroundings for clues, solve environmental puzzles, and unlock previously inaccessible areas using Samus's growing arsenal. Your mission is to recover eight Octoliths while battling rival bounty hunters, confronting powerful guardians, and uncovering the sinister truth behind the mysterious transmission. Master precise stylus-controlled aiming, discover specialized weapons, and transform into the iconic Morph Ball to navigate tight passages. This physical Nintendo DS cartridge delivers a complete solo campaign with its own storyline, challenging boss encounters, and climactic finale.
Finished saving the galaxy? The hunt is far from over! Beyond its full single-player campaign, Metroid Prime Hunters features competitive multiplayer where up to four players can battle in futuristic arenas using local Nintendo DS wireless communication. Choose from seven playable hunters, including Samus, Sylux, Trace, and Weavel, each with unique weapons and alternate forms. With multiple game modes ranging from standard battles to objective-based competitions, there's plenty of action beyond Adventure Mode. Even better, Single-Card Download Play allows up to four nearby players to enjoy a limited multiplayer battle using just one game cartridge, while Multi-Card Play unlocks additional characters and modes. Whether exploring alien worlds alone or challenging friends locally, Hunters delivers two distinct ways to experience its explosive sci-fi action.

Historical Trivia or Fun Fact
Metroid Prime Hunters launched in North America on March 20, 2006, delivering the first complete Metroid adventure developed specifically for Nintendo DS, following the limited Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt demonstration cartridge released in 2004. Developed by Nintendo Software Technology rather than longtime Metroid Prime developer Retro Studios, the game introduced six original rival bounty hunters and an entirely new region of the Metroid universe. Set between Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Hunters was an impressive early demonstration of the DS hardware, combining a full 3D single-player adventure with competitive multiplayer and innovative touchscreen aiming.
