Christophe Mallet
It's not as popular as Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda or Pokémon and yet it commands the admiration of a community of die-hard fans. After three decades of existence and a multitude of critically acclaimed titles, the Metroid saga is the standard bearer of an underrepresented genre within the Nintendo universe: science fiction.
Despite its indisputable authority, the series still enjoys discreet commercial success. How can we explain this paradox? Why didn't Samus Aran, the game's charismatic heroine, become an icon beyond her original medium? Why does Metroid hold such a special place in the hearts of gamers? What influence has it had on game designers around the world?
Retracing Metroid 's past is recounting 30 years of Nintendo's history, between the birth of new consoles, sleepless nights and the rescue of a struggling studio. Discover through this one-of-a-kind book, the evolution of one of the major figures of video games, between development process, marketing choices and unusual anecdotes!
