TheMetroidfranchise is having something of a moment right now. With the recent release of the highly praisedMetroid Prime Remastered, I feel like the internet has been abuzz about the adventure of Samus Aran. I haven’t heard this much chatter about gaming’s favorite galactic bounty hunter sinceMetroid Dreaddropped to widespread praise in 2021.Metroidhas long been my favorite franchise from Nintendo (depending on the day of the week you as me) sothe more I get to talk about it, the better.
For anyone who has missed out on the earlier games in the series, there is some good news.Metroid Fusionis coming to Nintendo Switch next week.
Originally released for the Game Boy Advance–on the same dayMetroid Primereleased for the GameCube—Metroid Fusionis the sequel to the critically lauded SNES masterpieceSuper Metroid. The game finds Samus fighting for her life after being attacked by a parasite known as X. To save her life, doctors inject Samus with Metroid DNA, officially fusing her with the creature she once hunted to near extinction. But her recovery is cut short when she discovers a doppelganger known as SA-X is wreaking havoc on a Biologic Space Laboratories ship.

Metroid Fusionwill become available on Nintendo Switch on March 9 through the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack subscription plan. If you’re a complete newbie to the franchise, the first three games in the series—Metroid,Metroid II: The Return of Samus, andSuper Metroid—are also available on Nintendo Switch Online.
For those who’d rather own a copy ofMetroid Fusionrather than rent one through the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack subscription, there is still time to buy the game on the Wii U Virtual Console before it gets taken offline later this month. Youdostill have your Wii U, don’t you?
