Back of Box
Developer: Nintendo Software Technology
Publisher: Nintendo
Platform: Nintendo DS
Release: March 20, 2006
Summary
A portable attempt to capture the magic of Metroid Prime from NST. It worked on a 12-year-old Max and less so on the 30-year-old version. Regardless, it is a testament to portable adaptation and design in that era.
Acquisition
I don't actually remember how or when I got this game beyond it being close to or at launch. I was all in.
Memories
The player's guide was what I chose to redeem for signing up for Nintendo Power. It took ages to actually arrive, but I poured over those pages. I used it to 100% complete the game and loved every scan and collectible.
Coming back to the game for Chapter Select was less invigorating than my first time with the game all those years ago.
