Metroid Prime: Hunters - First Hunt - Nintendo DS

Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt is the demo version of the regular Nintendo DS title Metroid Prime: Hunters. As a demo, this version of the game does not contain the full adventure, but instead offers three training-style missions designed to familiarise consumers with the Nintendo DS early in the system's lifecycle.

The game is based on the Metroid Prime titles for GameCube and Wii developed by Retro Studios. As such, it is played from a first-person perspective in the regular game, and from a third-person perspective when Samus switches to Morph Ball mode. Five options are available in the options menu to control the game, and the player has the option of entering their name to record high scores.

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

The following three single-player options are available to the player in the training menu:

Regulator: This mode is closest to the regular Metroid Prime Hunters game. The player ventures through a stage, solves a few light puzzles, collects a few items and fights a generic boss. This mode has a ten-minute time limit.

Survivor: Essentially a survival mode in which the player takes on gradual waves of enemies until eventually being defeated.

Morph Ball: In Morph Ball mode, the player basically winds their way through a timed maze while continuing to run through symbols on the ground.

Multiplayer: Exactly what it sounds like. A multiplayer mode for two to four people that uses the DS's Wi-Fi features. There are options for creating new multiplayer games or joining existing ones.

This title was not released for retail sale and was published solely for the purpose of demonstrating Metroid Prime: Hunters as well as the Nintendo DS system.
