What is Metroid Prime Hunters?
Metroid Prime Hunters is part of the popular Metroid Prime series. Like other games in this series, it focuses on exploring new places. You also discover secrets as you play. This game is different because it has a bigger focus on action. It also lets you play with other people online.
Playing as Samus Aran
You play as Samus Aran, a famous bounty hunter. She is the main character in the game. Samus can call her special gunship from anywhere. This helps her move around the game world.
How the Nintendo DS Screens Work
The game uses both screens of your Nintendo DS. The top screen shows important information. This includes Samus's health and how much ammo your weapon has left. The bottom screen shows a helpful radar. This radar helps you find your way and spot enemies.
Controlling the Game
You move Samus using the D-pad on your Nintendo DS. To aim your weapon, you use the touch screen. This makes aiming feel very direct and precise.
Playing with Friends Online
Metroid Prime Hunters has a fun online multiplayer mode. Up to four players can join a game together. You can choose to play as Samus or one of six other bounty hunters.
Meet the Bounty Hunters
Each bounty hunter is unique. They all have different forms and special weapons. This adds a lot of variety to the game. It also makes playing with friends more interesting.
Setting Up a Game
The person who starts the game can set the rules. They can choose how many points are needed to win. They can also set a time limit for the match. The host can even decide if players can use the radar during the game. If there are not four human players, the game adds computer-controlled characters. This makes sure every match is full of action.
Multiplayer Screen Information
In multiplayer mode, the bottom screen changes. It shows how many enemies you have defeated. It also shows how much time is left in the current round. This helps you keep track of the game's progress.
