The stories are definitely related but it's not essential to have played the first two games to understand and follow the story in the third. Also in Metroid the story is not forced onto you it's your choice whether you scan computers, historical logs and the environment which is mostly how the story is told and the back story is built up.
I am a huge fan of the original Prime, it's one of my favourite games ever and i really like Prime 3 as well. Having played Prime 3 through a couple of times i now find it difficult to go back to the old controls so i will be waiting for NPC before i play Prime 2 which i missed while i was overseas.
