''Metroid Prime Hunters'' is a first-person action-adventure video game published by Nintendo and developed by its Redmond-based subsidiary Nintendo Software Technology for the Nintendo DS handheld game console. A part of the ''Metroid'' series, it was released in North America in March 2006; in Europe and Australia in May 2006; and in Japan in June 2006. The game features a single-player campaign in which is set between the events of ''Metroid Prime'' and ''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes''. There, players assume the role of bounty hunter Samus Aran as she investigates a mysterious message that originated from the Alimbic solar system. ''Hunters'' contains more first-person shooter aspects than the previous titles in the ''Metroid Prime'' series, with removal of assisted aiming, more action-oriented gameplay, and various multiplayer modes. The game was created to utilize the Nintendo DS hardware, such as Wi-Fi and voice chat capabilities, and introduced other bounty hunters with unique weapons and alternative forms. ''Metroid Prime Hunters'' was announced by Nintendo at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2004. A pack-in demo version of the game, titled ''Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt'', was included with the Nintendo DS when it launched in 2004. Reviews were generally favorable towards ''Hunters'', with much praise to its gameplay and graphics, although it faced criticism to its control scheme. ''Metroid Prime Hunters'' received several honors; including an "Editors' Choice" award from IGN, which also named the game the "Best DS Action Game" of 2006, while ''Nintendo Power'' gave it awards for "Best Graphics", "Best Shooter/Action Game", and "Best Wi-Fi Functionality". Over 410,000 copies of the game were sold in North America in its first month of release, and it was the fourth best-selling game during its debut month in Japan. ''Metroid Prime Hunters'' became available on September 30, 2015 in Japan as a Wii U's Virtual Console title. ==Gameplay== Like the previous titles in the ''Prime'' series, ''Metroid Prime Hunters'' is generally classified as a first-person adventure to highlight the focus on navigation and discovery. However, the game differs from its predecessors with the removal of assisted aiming, more action-oriented gameplay, and the inclusion of an online multiplayer mode. The player controls Samus Aran, who is equipped with a Power Suit that allows her to access her gunship from anywhere. She can scan almost any object in the game; the gunship will return relevant information retrieved from its database. An Arm Cannon is attached to the Power Suit, which she uses to attack enemies. To enter small tunnels, Samus can roll into a Morph Ball, an alternative form of the Power Suit that decreases her size substantially. In this form, she is given an unlimited supply of bombs but is only allowed to use three at a time. She can use the bombs to defend herself and destroy small objects. In ''Metroid Prime Hunters'', the Nintendo DS's top screen shows Samus's HUD as seen from her visor, which displays the amount of remaining ammunition for the currently selected weapon along with her health; in multiplayer games, the number of kills and time remaining in the round are also shown. The bottom touchscreen displays the radar.〔 When using the default control scheme, movement is controlled using the D-pad, and aiming is controlled by dragging the stylus along the touchscreen.〔〔 ''Metroid Prime Hunters'' features a multiplayer mode that supports up to four players and includes voice chat capability. In it, the player is able to control Samus or one of six other bounty hunters featured in the single-player mode.〔 Each bounty hunter has a unique alternative form, such as Samus's Morph Ball, and a special weapon. The game host can set options for point and time limits, and restrict the use of radar. Computer-controlled players of varying skill levels can be added to games if the minimum of four players is not met.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Metroid Prime Hunters」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
