how can prime be a side story if its on the main metroid timeline

 

 Metroid, Metroid II Return Of Samus, Super Metroid (Metroid 3) and Metroid: Fusion (Metroid 4) are the main storyline.

Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime: Hunters, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption are a sub-series taking place between Metroid and Metroid II.

the thing is metroid, metroid II, super and fusion, follow samus' struggle with metroids and metroid prime follows samus struggles wih metroids. what prime did was place samus in a different time, as oppose to placing her in the most linear matter after fusion, this way the storyline acquires more depht and players are left expeculation when in the timelien does priem takes place. i can be wrong but this is what i think.

It says it is a "Metroid Prime story history from the pespective of the space pirates".

Prime is a subseries. A sidestory. A gaiden. We know when they happen and they deal with Phazon. Not surprisingly, the main series doesn't deal with the subject of the subseries (Phazon), and the subseries is placed and created in such a way that it doesn't contradict the canon of the main series.

Fixed my above translation. It's a history, not a "story".

Most probably Manga? A new story would be cool, or even the history from the Space Pirates...

so a manga?



Yea, the manga deal seems the most likely option here. I don't think nintendo hypes up their games with counters.



yeah i think its a manga now



If it is a manga and not a game, It should be about Weavel from hunters. I mean he is a space pirate and how he got injured sounds interesting.
