		In Metroid Fusion, Samus' suit becomes infected with the X parasite and she becomes critically ill. She is saved when a scientist makes a vaccine using the DNA from a frozen Metroid cell culture and injects Samus with it to eradicate the virus.

		In Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes the charge beam can be combined with missile energy to use Charge Combos, and if an enemy drops an item that is too far away for Samus to reach, the charge beam has a small tractor beam effect to pull the faraway item towards her.

	Metroid Prime Walkthrough - IGN FAQs
		Metroid Prime occurs, at best, a few years after the events described in the original Metroid.
		You'll en- counter three Metroids during your ascent, so either have a Super Missile (if you have the reserves), or charged Power Beam shots waiting for them (fortunately for you, the Metroids can't see in the dark either, and therefore will have a difficult time trying to latch on to you).
		Metroids are still vulnerable to cold, so use the Ice Beam to freeze them, then shatter them with a Missile.

	IGN: Metroid Fusion Review
		Nintendo, after years of sitting on the much-requested Metroid franchise, finally offers gamers what they crave: a true sequel that not only meets and exceeds the formula established in the three previous games in the series, it also exceeds the standards for what's expected in a handheld experience.
		Near death, Samus is saved by a vaccine that's created from the DNA of the Metroid that she saved in her previous mission.
		And by defeating these area bosses and absorbing the parasite from within, they'll recover one of the many abilities that Samus lost, from her trademark morphball to enhanced special techniques that are based off of her classic moves.

	Game/AI: Useful Middleware
		AI is highly constrained by the animations: I have these 30 animations, and my creature's entire range of expression has to come from those 30 animations (obviously sound and particle effects are a big part of the picture too, but those are also usually limited by the animations at hand).
		You ride a giant bat or griffon on a fixed spline path to the destination, and the creature flaps and glides as it follows the spline.
		Bipedal creatures animate differently from quadrupeds, and those animate differently from creatures that that slide and slither, which animate differently from creatures that swim, fly, or swing from tree to tree.

	Metroid Prime Pinball Review for DS on GamePro.com
		Metroid Pinball takes the superficial trademark abilities and creatures of the Metroid series and superimposes them on top a fairly adequate pinball game engine.
		Mini-games range from Metroid extermination missions to wall jump games where Samus will be awarded huge bonuses and artifacts--a few of the mini-games actually allow Samus to transform into her erect form to pile on some heavy damage to level bosses and foes.
		While Metroid Pinball is a descent attempt for Metroid to branch out of the action/adventure genre, the game is still riddled with small conceptual problems.

		I’m sure all of you Nintendo fans had your doubts when the beloved Metroid series was passed on to the unproven, Texas-based Retro Studios.
		From the moment you begin playing Metroid Prime you will know that you are playing a Metroid game, and not some generic first person shooter with the Metroid name slapped on the box.
		Metroid Prime allows you to do this with the inclusion of several different visors including a scan visor that scans and downloads information on anything from creatures to plants and stores it in a log book for later reference.

		Metroid Prime ended up being the most talked about game of the show, no one ever thought that Metroid in the first person perspective could work but from what they played it seemed like it could.
		Metroid games are an excellent blend of exploration, action and good ole platforming and despite being in the first person perspective Metroid Prime gets this all done amazingly well.
		Metroid Prime is all about seeing through the eyes of Samus, seeing everything the way she does, from behind the visor.

	IGN: Cube Club LA: Metroid Time Line
		The Metroid hatchling arrives just as Samus is about to succumb, sucking the life-force from Mother Brain and transferring it to Samus, who then destroys Mother Brain with her powered-up weapon.
		The absence of the Metroids has thrown the food chain out of balance on SR-388, and a parasitic virus called X (which was the Metroids' natural food) is multiplying.
		Because of the Metroid DNA in her body, she can now absorb the X parasites to recover health and power-ups; a good thing, as the X quickly takes over a research station orbiting SR-388.

		Metroid Prime was a hit for both Nintendo and developer Retro Studios, the game had its share of naysayers; the game was too short, it was too easy, there was no multiplayer.
