4) Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption felt like a proper send-off to the Prime series in its heyday. The control scheme, which uses the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, works surprisingly well, and it’s easily the best-looking title of the three. Retro Studios also did a great job of making sure it was the most user-friendly game in the Prime trilogy thanks to a new hint system.
3) Metroid Fusion
Many fans were worried about how drastic a change Metroid Prime seemed to be, so Nintendo made sure that all gamers would be happy by releasing both Prime and Metroid Fusion, a new 2D entry in the series, on the same day.
November 17, 2002 has yet to be topped as the greatest day in Metroid history, as both games turned out to be among the best the franchise has to offer. Fusion offered up the first new 2D title in the series in eight years, and beyond that, it’s just a fantastic follow-up to Super Metroid. It builds upon the series’ established 2D gameplay by adding new mechanics — such as grabbing ledges — and remains one of the Game Boy Advance’s best games.
