10 Beloved First-Person Shooter Video Games That Need Rebooting

Perhaps it’s a stretch to say Nintendo’s criminally-neglected Metroid series was at its best during its voyage through first-person shooter territory, but the Prime trilogy goes down as a highlight of galactic bounty hunter Samus Aran’s career.

Taking the series back to its roots with a reboot is the way forward and a return to the FPS ways of the 2002 GameCube smash is a way of killing two birds with one Arm Cannon blast - bringing Samus back in a fan-pleasing way and boosting the Switch’s anaemic shooter provision.
