Metroid Interview

Two developers involved with Metroid Prime Hunters recently did an interview for Nintendo of Europe's website. In it they reveal details about the game's sing leand multiplayer modes, as well as a few of the other bounty hunters accompanying Samus.

First off, the game won't play online, but you will be able to play four-player with a single game card. Also, there will be an expanded weapon system, with most of the weapons featuring two different functions. Finally, some bounty hunters are better suited with certain guns than the other hunters.

The single player mode supposedly won't be the same as the other Prime titles. To start, Samus will have all of her abilities from the very start, so suit upgrades won't be necessary. Also, the focus has shifted from exploration and item-finding to combat and hunting down the other characters. And the story will center around Samus, and the other bounty hunters, trying to collect alien relics that will grant them unkwown powers.

Finally, three of the six new bounty hunters were revealed in-depth.

Noxus - "A spiritual being who's trying to cleanse the galaxy of evil."

Spire - "The last of his kind, a rock-based creature, trying to find out the
origins of the disappearance of his race."

Kanden - "An experimental lab-created creature who escaped, originally designed
as an unkillable soldier."

The other three hunters are being kept a mystery for the time being.
