Metroid Prime is proof that fans are receptive to massive gameplay changes to iconic games if they are done right. So, whenever Nintendo even hints at announcing a new Metroid game, fans are quick to take notice. After all, there is a reason why there's an entire genre dedicated to games that are like Metroid (and Castlevania). As one of the oldest franchises in existence, the long-running Nintendo franchise has spawned numerous sequels since coming onto the market in 1986 and has influenced the industry in more ways than you possibly could imagine.


Metroid is an icon in the video game industry.
