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 elements in the game, classic to any Nintendo title.

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 release 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 make her rapidly take out many enemies in a 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 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.

GLITCHES

Multi-player: Have body parts disappear into a wall

Start by doing the "Multi-player: Run while floating on wall" glitch. Once you are there, walk out of the corridor and face the pipes; to the left, you should see a corner with a chunk missing out of it. Have one player walk to the corner, facing it. While facing it, walk into the corner slowly while hanging a little to the right. If done correctly, the other player should see your leg slide into the wall. Once your leg is in, you can move your torso around to try to get your blaster arm to also disappear into the wall. Note: Do not move in any direction, just pivot; you will see it on both screens. This glitch is difficult to replicate.
