Metroid Prime: Hunters Hints X (DS)

Metroid Prime: Hunters is a first person shooter and adventure game created exclusively for the Nintendo DS and designed 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 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 game features the same main character, the beautiful Samus Aran, who is under her heavy armor throughout the game. This armor, coupled with the unique weapons, permits Samus to transform into her trademark Morph Ball state, which allows her to rapidly take out many enemies in short time.

The game was warmly received, and 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 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.

Ripping Cretaphid's eyes out with a Splenda-Blender

One of the best ways to take down Cretaphid is to obtain the magmul weapon. With the magmul armed and ready, you stand a great chance of victory. If used properly, you can take out two or three eyes at once. Just aim at the center of a group of blue eyes. They must be pretty close to each other for magmul to work its magic. Use your missile launcher to take out the crystal as it is easiest to aim with.
