  • Prime 1 was the best, Prime 2 was just barely second, Never played 3 but I'm sure it was third

  • Comment removed

  • I miss this game.

  • the amazing part is the CGI isn't much better than the in game graphics

  • Thumbs up if you wish this project still haven't been cancled (In matter in fact, it was cancled, but then a person decided to take it up again, it is yet unsure wether it's cancled or not.

  • and they make the narrator's voice a guy so male viewers aren't turned off lol they really tried to hide the fact that Samus is a woman here.

  • Whats with the Jurassic park t rex roar at the end.

  • This commercial made me think there was gonna be a movie.

    

  • Prime 3 is so awful compared to this masterpiece.

  • @cannotbebothered100 i couldnt agree more.... alot of people loved it... i couldnt even finish it, way to many small mistakes that took away from the game... the look, design, inability to choose different weapons, that look of the pirates was changed from their bad ass level from Prime.... it just didnt feel right!

  • retro studios made meatriod beast!

  • game way better than the movie

  • Samus Aran is one kickass heroine in the Metroid series! I hope they make a Metroid Prime 4!

  • Retro said they aren't working on Metroid for a long time if ever again. Also, why would there be another Prime if Prime and Phazon were wiped out at the end of 3?

  • @edward18517 Well a new Metroid Prime game wouldn't necessarily have to be about Phazon. SPOILER: remember the ship that follows Samus at the end of Prime 3? I would love to see what happens next. Maybe the next game would start with that ship following Samus to some planet and then shooting her down and her ship is destroyed and she needs to figure a way off the planet? Ya never know. I think Retro could do something awesome with Metroid Prime 4.

  • um...yes a new Metroid Prime would have to be about Phazon. That's what the Prime series' story was about. Prime and Phazon. Without Phazon Prime CAN NOT exist. They just threw that ship in there at the end for a plothole if Nintendo ever decides to pick it back up in the future.

  • gotta have that suit man

  • my cousin bought this game, hated it(can you believe that guy) and was about to TRASH IT . im soooo glad i got the game from him

  • sad part, this game was better than prime 2 and 3

  • this game will forever remain a masterpiece.

  • Don't worry their working on a metroid for the wii u. A new series, but like prime. For now it's just called project café

  • When you relly watch this commercial, you just gotta sit back in awe. This is badass! Music was tight and it came out before all those live action Halo ODST or Reach commercials. Hell, maybe Bungie took one out of Nintendo's book for this one, Retro really made Metroid badass. Here's to hoping Retro Studios next game is a Metroid side-scroller, and not a sequel to Metroid: Other M (ugh...). E3 can't come soon enough, Retro did say that thier next game would be one "everyone wants us to do"...

  • sadly this games graphics beats wii, xbox, ps2, ps3, xbox360

    and this only cameout for gamecube this proves time and effort on a game can make it the best and it came out about 5 to 8 years ago wtf is this shit from the future

  • @MasterApprenticeJW O_O I think you just hate modern gaming.

  • Sigh, i remember my first time watching this - It was at night,silent,and i was alone,this promo appeared, while watching it, i felt a sense of isolation,fear,a need to know my surroundings,and a sense of good fighting evil.

    Simply lovely.

  • that commercial is using cheats

  • i wish i could play this but i need a memory card to save -.-

  • @jamster48 Dude, buy the Trilogy on Wii.

  • @MSoltan1992 Nah, i have 2 of the games already for GameCube i don't want to spend more money.

  • @jamster48 -facepalm-

  • @MSoltan1992 why the facepalm bro?

  • woah that was so cool

  • This reminds me of .. Toonami.

  • I remember this. This was corny in all the good ways. I like it.

  • Why does it look like she landed in a city? It's just a floating space station.

  • That's not fair! I wish I could do all those flips and tricks in the real game.

  • Wait... why does Samus have the Wave Beam on the Frigate...? I HAVE BEEN LIED TO!

  • "But first it must be found." It was an apt description for an all-time-great adventure game. You know, before the series devolved into a soap opera involving an anime chick with daddy issues whose power suit falls off at random. *snicker*

  • @QuasarEE Retro knew how to make a Metroid game. The isolation, the adventure, the exploration, the protagonist that was a kick ass woman!

  • @QuasarEE The power suit falls off when Samus loses concentration or becomes stressed. She has to be totally in control of her mind to use the power suit. Read the Metroid manga.

  • @JMBoote1 The manga written by Sakamoto. Before he came along and reinvented the series in his own image, much like Igarashi did with Castlevania, there was no such concept of the power suit falling off or disappearing. I would think the mightiest Chozo warriors would never have relied on an armor system that easily defeated. Then again, Sakamoto's Metroid barely acknowledges the Chozo as an important part of the canon anyway so go figure.

  • @QuasarEE Eh. Maybe so. But at least that way they did explain the health refills/pickups as being ions that "calm" Samus down, so to speak. That was pretty neat.

  • @QuasarEE Anyone who snickers for real automatically sucks in my eyes. I take it you were just poking fun at it?

  • Metroid FTW

  • Does someone know the music of this trailer?

  • @olaokolaok It should be a commercial original...

  • Remember watching this and i was all like "JESUS FUCKING CHRIST I NEED A GAMECUBE" now i dont care that much but metroid was great for the gamecube, an innovative and inmersive fps experience.

  • Nintendo had Metroid, and Xbox had Halo. Metroid Prime and Halo were both great games. But I'd have to say Halo brought you into a world you've never seen before. Halo wins.

  • @GenjiZerk metroid brought you in to a world you never saw first and before as well,so whats your point?There both awesome games

  • @Fagoala Didn't I say "Halo wins"? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

  • @Fagoala I'm not going to research as to why Halo is better than Metroid Prime. But I believe one of the obvious factors would be to that alien vs human warfare.

  • @GenjiZerk You stated your opinion in a mature and civilized manner. Sir, (or ma'am, whatever) i respect you.

  • Halo came before Metroid Prime, and Metroid was never like Halo in the first place, the prime series sucks IMO, should have gone the 2.5D route.

    Metroidvanias were hard to come by that generation.

  • Man. That last monster looks so epic but it's only the first boss you face.

  • This is pretty damn epic.

  • Best game ever master chief can suck her v•••a

  • i love how half of the in-game footage wasn't from the frigate.

  • What's with the drag queen voice? o.o;

  • To think fans said that this game would suck because it was in First person... Now it is one of the greatest games of all time.

  • @scyther206 I know right? Same with resident evil 4 actually. People said prime would suck with the first person view, people said zelda ww would suck because of its cartoony graphics, and people said re4 would blow because of its view. All 3 ended up being amazing. Now I dont judge games at all unless ive played them.

  • @mast3rsword64 it's all about gameplay and keeping the good parts there. Why repair what's not broken?

  • RE4 did suck. It killed what Resident Evil was.

  • @edward18517 you, sir, are a terrible human being.

  • how so?

  • @edward18517 No, RE5 did that. RE4 was one of the best games ever. The game was equally awesome and terrifying.

  • No, 4 is what killed what RE was. It had crap atmosphere, turned Leon into an ass, fed you ammo, got rid of backtracking and interlocking areas, had the single worst plot of the entire series, was the least relevant of the main games, and was just one slap-in-the-face after another. It doesn't matter how many awards or anything it won. Both it and 5 are fun as hell. But as RE game they suck ass.

  • Power Rangers Metroid Style.

  • Those graphics were jaw-dropping by that time and their are still impressive. I want Prime 4!!

  • @BobbyJackson100 I agree. A prime 4 would be awesome. Though I hope they make it similar to prime 1. Prime 3 was far too easy imo.

  • @mast3rsord64 i know right

  • love this game. also this trailer made me realise Metroid Prime would make an AWESOME b-grade sci-fi show.

  • @mast3rsword64 except other m =) i love other m

  • @zachfernandez92 Me too. I just beat other m last night, and its an awesome game. Though I would still say prime is better, I love other m for mixing 2D elements with 3D elements.

  • Best metroid game by far imo.

  • Hahahhhaahaha!

  • Metriod movie XD that would be pretty cool if it happened XD

  • Holy Fuck this game is awesome!

  • I can't tell if it's a costume or all cgi.

  • @riceball23 Because there's a big audience out there who want to race balls...

  • @riceball23 Quoting and response FAIL

    Aside from that, Metroid Morph-ball racing would be quite interesting if combined with some sort of shooting (Mid-air untransform and shooting?)

  • @ArrowMilitarWolf Continuation: Actually, it fits well a somewhat linearized Metroid, kind of a Hunters Spin-off

  • @riceball23 It's a costume. CGI can't look clunky like that when doing movements (like the jump as example, looked like it was being pulled by a cable)

  • Comment removed

  • I can't believe there hasn't been a Metroid Morph Ball Racer game yet.

  • The game looks better than the advert

  • they should really make the live movie of metroid for real...

  • okay, what was the point of the first summersault?

  • I would kill to get this ported to the 3DS

  • apart from the pauldrons requiring ajustments id say the armour is awsome

  • METROID MOVIE

  • @twiligame As long as they didn't mess it up and go outside the story with it. Like Doom, Metroid would make a great movie / movie series.

  • @twiligame they would fuck it up somehow

  • They shoulda had a female do the voice to make it seem like it was samus talking,but this commecial is why i bought the game (plus i love metroid and samus is badass)

  • Why is she so short in this?!?

  • this is just another reason why metroid isn't meant for live action...

  • hahaha la reina parasito suena com oel trex de parque jurasico ... parasite queen sounds like trex :D

  • @pakoiamme

    hahaha tienes razon XD

  • Can anybody tell me the metroid timeline?

  • @hermosapeach google is a magical thing.

  • @hermosapeach I can't explain it...But the prime series is it's own timeline

  • @hermosapeach Metroid, Metroid: Prime, Prime 2, Prime 3, Metroid 2, Super Metroid, Metroid: Other M, Metroid: Fusion. That's the timeline, I'm pretty sure. Unless I'm forgetting some super obscure title or something.

  • @dinobot125 Hunters, which takes place between Primes 1 and 2.

  • @dinobot125 tnxs man!!! what about hunters??? I really wanna know I naver played Metroid and I got MP TRILOGY for Wii and is awesome I only paid $34.00 bucks for it brand new it was a badass deal.

  • @dinobot125 Is zero mission kinda like a Remake of Metroid on the NES???

  • @hermosapeach Yes it is it just Adds a little more stuff in it

  • @dinobot125 Don't forget Metroid Prime: Pinball! Although maybe Samus wants to forget that time in her life.

  • @IRSPONGEBOB Never played it. but i did leave out Metroid Prime: Hunters, which i think takes place after Prime 1, but before 2.

  • Why doesnt nintendo spend some money on thier commercials anymore? If they did commercials like this again theyd probably make more sales instead they just show a bunch of white people dancing in front of the wii...

  • @MrGeassR2 Well, the metroid other m commercial (USA) was awesome.

  • The in-game graphics were better than the live action graphics.....

  • @ryushahkola Haha no they were not! they just had more style.

  • I miss those days, today we have stupid stereotype people playing Wii as Nintendo spots and even Sony and Microsoft aren't better... Why don't they do such spots today?

  • Best game ever but doesn't have wave in that part

  • @GINOLUVSREETZ Yes it does look closer!

  • @GINOLUVSREETZ Play super metroid it's better

  • i used to be sooo good at this game........but now i suck because i keep trying to use C-stick :p

  • nintendos strong point: makeing the best games ever

    low point: metroid live action trailers

  • Metroid HD FOR WII U  0_o

  • I just got this game yesterday, and I do not regret it.

  • that live-action power suit looks SO wrong

  • @hugo12212 definitely the best but mine broke :(

  • the best prime ever of the entire life

  • The last metroid is in captivity , the galaxy is at peace....

  • this has to be the best game ever

  • Before Halo....there was.....Metroid...

  • @nintendoluigi amen

  • @nintendoluigi And when Halo came...Metroid was still there!

  • @Himmelslaub

    and when Other M sucked ass... Halo Reach came and kicked ass!

  • @DarthP00P00 Your face sucks ass.....and your mom came and kicked your ass

  • @NappaThePCC Haha nice! But I agree with darthpoopoo Metroid other m was a little disappointing mainly because it was developed by crappy (Team ninja)! And it should have been developed by retro studios like metroid prime 1,2 and 3. But the cinematics were nice. And anthony was badass!

  • @nintendoluigi metroid is better than that crap always the same nothing new

  • @nintendoluigi

    Halo CE came out before Metroid Prime. Unless you're comparing Halo to Super Metroid...?

  • @nintendoluigi Haha true true!

  • @nintendoluigi No there was Chuck Norris...

  • i wish they make more chilling commercials like this than the ones we have now.

  • why did they make her make a big deal out of little bugs?

  • @elmehman That frigate was creepy. I don't care who you are, any movement caught out of the corner of your eye in a place like that would make anyone jump.

  • @GURGLEGUY12345

    YES! When I was a kid, and I first got this game, that place gave me the creeps. Now, its not so bad, but when it first came out, not cool.

  • @DAK075 This was one of the first games I got with my GameCube. I was very young, and really had no interest in Metroid at the time anyways. The game looked scary, so I didn't play it.

  • Pro commercial. But also sounds pretty scary by the way the narrator talks.

  • cool commercial, but as is the case with most video game commercials, it sells the game's depth short.

  • Samus's ship totally looks like a Phantom from Halo.

    Was never really a fan of the first game. I loved Echoes, though. Corruption was decent.

  • @LuridShadowX

    i totally agree!! :)

  • Very fun game even though I beat it twice

  • Amazing Game! Metroid Prime nailed the combination of adventure and exploration; I truely felt isolated while playing this game, the rush to push forward into the unknown, 10/10, 5 Stars, this game is in My Top 10!

  • Gamecube Commercials are so freakin Creepy sometimes.

  • My only complaint of Prime is the music. If it had music like this trailer, I'd say it's perfect

  • @SamusAranization up until about 0:36 anyways...

  • @SamusAranization how could you not like the music?! that game has some of the best music ever. it's not because it's "epic" (all the boss music is though [Meta Ridley]) but because it describes all the areas perfectly. it all makes it feel so desolate, and that nobody is going to save you if you get hurt. it makes you feel fear, sadness, pain, and excited all at once. so far the only games that had similar successes are ones by RareWare (not rare ltd.) and those had the exact opposite effects

  • @waxford13 I agree that it's important for music to create a mood that suits the setting. But I really thought Prime's music was uninspiring. I prefer Super Metroid's music

  • @waxford13 And I'm not saying Prime's music is bad. It just doesn't appeal to me. Sorry for the shameless plug, but you should check out my channel's Metroid videos. Ever heard Big Giant Circles' "Bounty of a Brain"? Or The Wingless' "Edenal"? Those are a couple of my favorite Metroid remixes and I have videos for each. Oh, btw, I've only played through Prime a little ways, so I haven't heard a lot of its music. But I've seen several videos on YouTube for the music of the Prime series

  • @SamusAranization okay it was inspirational to me so yeah.

  • @waxford13 man, I feel bad. Prime's music isn't bad by any means. You're not the only one who loves it

  • @SamusAranization relax everyone can have an opinion sorry about that. you can have the last word if you want

  • @SamusAranization

    Just letting you know, I love the music in Metroid Prime and the other two as well, they're really quite amazing :3

  • @SamusAranization The Wingless and BGC made AWESOME metroid mixes.

  • Great commercial. This is why I bought Metroid Prime. The trailer doesn't even do the game justice, which is quite a rare occurrence. :)

  • this trailer looks like shit. Don't get me wrong metroid prime is possibly my favorite game of all time, but this doesn't really give the right feel to the game.

  • Wow, just wow. This is just as awesome as Other M´s live action commercial.

  • The trailer looks much better than the game, but I still like the game.

  • what is the background music?

  • Extremely Well-made.

  • why is it a males voice:|

  • @InfernalxOFxBlaze its a narrator, who said its supposed to be samus

  • @dgd151 sets the mood more

  • @InfernalxOFxBlaze at least its better than the one for Other M

  • @dgd151 but Samus is a chick

  • @linkanator126 and that means the narrator is supposed to be the same gender as the main character?

  • @dgd151 oh my bad, i read that wrong...i thought it said, its the narrator, who is supposed to be samus. my bad bro xD

  • One of the ways you know Other M is fucked up is cause people are arguing about. With all the other Metroid games you had debates, but Other M split the Metroid fanbase for the first time, thats how you know it sucked...
