metroid prime is a computer game made by Retro Studios and Nintendo for the Nintendo GameCube, it was released in North America on November 17th, 2002.
Its the first 3D game in the Metroid series, the fifth main installment, and is classified by Nintendo as a first-person adventure rather than a first-person shooter, due to the large exploration component of the game and its precedence over combat. Metroid Prime, along with the Game Boy Advance game Metroid Fusion that was released alongside it on the same day in North America, marked the return of the Metroid series after eight years – the last game in the franchise had been the 1994 Super Metroid.
