No it's a remake or "retelling" of Metroid, and please don't start like you did on the Metroid boards on Nintendo. Also please register on IGN and chat more about Zero mission on the Metroid boards if you want to.

That is the official Zero Mission commercial. It states that it is Samus' first adventure as an intergalactic bounty hunter, which the IMDB description matches.

Metroid was not her first mission or her first adventure as an intergalactic bounty hunter. Metroid had numerous mission before it according to the Metroid prologue. Zero Mission was the first mission, which makes it a prequel to Metroid.

Yoshio Sakamoto also stated that the game is not a remake of story.

This information proves that the game is a prequel to anyone who does not know this already or is not sure.

No, metroid zero mission is indeed a REMAKE of the original NES Metroid. I have played and beaten both, the only difference with the new one is better graphics, new bosses, weapons and i think one new area. The story remains the same...its a remake.

This reminds me of being back on the Evil Dead 2 boards :)

I Thought It Went.
Metroid (Nes)
--Then--
Metroid Zero Mission

Mainly Because The Beggining It Showed Samus Leaving Zebes, Then Being Attacked By The Pirates.

Also In Wikipida It Tells Of How The Games Storyline Was Supposted To Be. Just Google "Metroid Series" (Look For Wikipida) And You'll See What Im Talking About.

Im So Gay And You Know It.

Yea You Would Love For Me To Say That.

Sorry but you are wrong, Metroid was her first mission with the Metroids. Metroid Zero Mission is a retelling (or remake) of the original game. In Metroid Fusion Samus states that she has done missions befour and she had Adam Malcovich as commanding officer. If Metroid Zero Mission is indeed a Prequel, where does he fit in? Well you have been owned...

Zero Mission is an advanced (read: superior) remake of the very first Metroid. Same story, better everything.
