Metroid Fusion was released on the Game Boy Advance in 2002. The game was actually released on the same day as Metroid Prime, and both titles were able to unlock features from the other game.Metroid Prime players who won the game would be able to link with Metroid Fusion. In , we were able to get Samus’ fusion suit. Meanwhile, players in Fusion unlocked an image gallery to link the two games. The fusion suit didn’t really change from the main suit, but it was a nice perk for Metroid fans. Unfortunately, Nintendo hasn’t revealed if this feature will carry over to Metroid Prime Remastered.
Metroid Fusion is one of his two games in the series released on the Game Boy Advance. Metroid: Zero Mission was released on his platform in 2004 and features a remake of his original Metroid game. The game is currently available on the Wii U eShop, but will be offline this month. With Fusion coming to Nintendo Switch next week, it seems like it’s only a matter of time before fans can expect Zero Mission.Metroid fans will have to settle for the NES version for now!
