Information about Metroid

The Metroid series, the creation of the late Nintendo visionary Gunpei Yokoi, is an extremely popular series of action/adventure games featuring female bounty hunter Samus Aran on her missions. The first Metroid game was a completely new concept to most people, as it was totally nonlinear and people could go where they wanted, when they wanted. The creature Metroid is a small, cell-like creature that can siphon the life energy out of any organism. It has 4 different stages: The first and most familar stage, Alpha, then three others: Beta, Zeta, and Omega. In Metroid Prime, two other forms were introduced: one kind had a long tentacle that it could use to attack you from afar, and the other split into two when you shot it, providing for quite a frustrating experience.
