This is the game that started it all. In Metroid, Samus Aran is dispatched to planet Zebes to destroy the mechanical lifeform Mother Brain, as well as exterminate all the mysterious lifeforms known as the Metroids. This game, which featured 8-bit graphics (which were top pf the line at the time), started one of Nintendo's most profitable and popular franchises.
The sequel to the original metroid. This one too has 8-bit graphics, and is played on the Gameboy. This time Samus must hunt down the metroids on their home planet, SR-388.
Some call it the best metroid game in existence, Super Metroid is played on the SNES. This time around, Samus returns to Zebes to rescue the metroid larva, and defeat Mother Brain once again.
The last game in the series, Metroid Fusion is for the GBA. The deadly X parasites have invaded the BSL research station and Samus must stop them, before they spread throughout the universe.
Metroid goes 3-D this time, as Samus discovers a mysterious substance known as phazon, and uncovers the truth behind it. Metroid Prime is played on the GameCube and has beautiful 3-D graphics.
This is a remake of the original metroid, the storyline is still the same with a few "added" bonuses. MZM plays on the GBA and has top-quality graphics.
The sequel to Metroid Prime, Samus crashlands on the planet Aether, a planet that has been torn in between two dimensions. On Aether, Samus must hunt down shadowy creatures from the other dimension. MP2's graphics are the same, if not better than Metroid Prime's.
The first spin off of the series, Metroid Prime Pinball plays for the DS. The basic storyline is the same as Metroid Prime, but instead the game is played almost entirely from the morphball.
Metroid Prime Hunters is the first Metroid game to be made for the Nintendo DS. Samus is sent to the Alimbic Cluster to find the meaning of a strange message, speaking of an Ultimate Power. However, Samus isn’t the only one in the Alimbic Cluster. The message has attracted the attention of multiple Bounty Hunters, who all want to claim the power for themselves.
The last of the Prime trilogy, and the first Metroid game on the Nintendo Wii, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption takes place about 6 months after the events of Prime 2, where Dark Samus and the space pirates have declared war on the Galactic Federation and are planting phazon corrupted seeds acroos the galaxy, and it's up Samus, once again, to stop them.
