Metroid: Every Main Series Game Ranked Worst To Best

Probably one of the few games in any franchise that actually benefited from the implementation of the Wii's motion controls, the ability to point Samus' laser cannon at the screen increased immersion, making players feel like Nintendo's infamous bounty hunter herself.

Toning down the difficulty of its predecessor, Corruption streamlines the formula somewhat, with Samus hopping between different planets too often to explore them in too much detail.

While this gives the third (and apparently final) title in what was then the Metroid Prime Trilogy a semblance of Metroid Fusion-style linearity, arguably paving the way for its widely panned successor Other M, Corruption's gameplay never feels stale or contrived.

More action-oriented than its GameCube predecessors (no doubt to capitalise on the WiiMote's pointing mechanics, the success of Corruption prompted Nintendo to re-release the original Prime games on the Wii in the form of a Trilogy bundle.

Get this on the Switch soon, Nintendo.
