Metroid Prime: Hunters - First Hunt

The game is built on the framework of the Metroid Prime titles from the GameCube and Wii, developed by Retro Studios.

In this sense, it plays from a first-person perspective for regular play, and from a 3rd person perspective when Samus transitions to Morph Ball mode.

There are five choices for controlling the game available in the Options menu, and the ability for a player to enter his or her name for recording high scores.

Since the game is little more than a Nintendo DS tech demo, features and gameplay are fairly thin, although there are four gameplay modes.

Under the Training menu, the player has three single-player options as follows: Regulator: This mode plays the most like the regular Metroid Prime Hunters game.

The player ventures through a stage, solves a couple light puzzles, and collects a few items, and fights a generic boss.

This mode has a ten minute time limit.

Survivor: Essentially a survival mode where the player takes on gradual waves of enemies, until eventual defeat.

Morph Ball: Basically has the player meander through a timed maze in Morph Ball mode, all the while required to continue running through symbols on the ground.

Multiplayer: Exactly what it sounds like.

A two-to-four person multiplayer mode making use of the DS's Wi-Fi capabilities.

Options exist for creating new multiplayer games or joining pre-existing ones.

This title was not released for retail sale and was only put out for the purposes of demoing Metroid Prime: Hunters as well as the Nintendo DS system.
