Kotaku • • technology
Key Points:
- Fans celebrated Metroid's 40th anniversary by creating Metroid Prime Origins, a 2D pixel-art remake of the 2002 GameCube game, inspired by the original NES Metroid graphics.
- Nintendo did not officially acknowledge Metroid's milestone anniversary, with no mentions or promotions on their website or social media platforms.
- Last year, Nintendo released Metroid Prime 4: Beyond after nearly a decade of development, but the game received mixed reviews and was considered less impactful than earlier Prime series titles.
- The fan-made Origins project serves as a tribute to Samus and the Metroid franchise, filling the gap left by Nintendo's lack of official recognition.
