Metroid Prime: Hunters Demo Version Hints IV (DS)

Metroid Prime Hunters is a first-person shooter and adventure game created exclusively for the Nintendo DS developed by NST (Nintendo Software Technology), a first-party developer for Nintendo, based in Redmond in North America, and released in 2006. Like its predecessor Metroid Prime, Nintendo has dubbed it a first-person adventure rather than a first-person shooter due to the large amount of exploration element in the game, classic to any Nintendo game.

The rather unusual focus on exploration and discovery has made Nintendo create a sub-genre in the First Person Shooter class, calling the Metroid Prime games first person adventure titles. The game features the same main character, the beautiful Samus Aran, who, sadly, is under her heavy armor throughout the game. This armor, coupled with the unique weapons, allows Samus to transform into her trademark Morph Ball state, which allows her to rapidly take out many enemies in short time.

The game was well received, and has enjoyed quite a lot of popularity with fans, largely due to the fact that the multiplayer mode, which harnessed the Wi-Fi capabilities of the Nintendo DS, was extremely well built and had a lot of various options, including the one enabling voice chat, through the built-in microphone. Here are a couple of things that might help in the adventures of Samus versus the Metroids.

HINTS

Morph/Retro Jump

In survivor mode, make sure you are not too close to a wall. Tap the Morph icon on the touch screen (or B if in touch-shoot mode) Lay one mine. Note the energy spikes (blue lines) radiating off. Wait for them to converge directly under you. Then, tap the Morph icon (or B) to be sent up higher than normal. Note: You can also jump for more height.

Double Jump

If you are in the air at any time in survivor mode and did not jump to get there (Morph Jump, fall off platform, etc.) you can jump. For example, if you accidentally fall off a platform, jump quickly and hold Back. This also allows you to jump on top of the level with a Morph/Retro Jump.
