* CutscenePowerToTheMax: Gorea is so built up by lore as being invincible so you'd think the final fight would be massively challenging. Nope. Gorea is by far the easiest final boss of all the ''Prime'' games, and is in fact MUCH easier to defeat than some of the previous bosses in that game that were placed there as tests of skill to prepare the hunters for Gorea. Which makes total sense when you think about it.

It eventually takes imprisoning it away in an extradimensional tomb. Needless to say, it wants out. Bad.
* FinalExamBoss: Gorea forces you to remember which color represents which weakness (much like the Metroid Prime and Emperor Ing did) and also to remember obscure lore you found throughout the game to know in which order to shoot crests on the walls with the proper weapon in order to get to the final phase of the battle and the game's true ending.

Like the console ''Prime'' games, ''Hunters'' plays in a first-person perspective, and includes numerous lore scans to reveal the game's story and details of the world. It tends to be less focused on exploration than other ''Metroid'' games, however, being closer to a regular FirstPersonShooter, though new weapons will allow access to new areas of previously-explored planets.
Alongside the single-player campaign, ''Hunters'' also includes a multiplayer mode, playable through local wireless as well as (formerly) online through the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. This mode allows any of the bounty hunters to be played, each of whom has their own signature abilities.

Like the console ''Prime'' games, ''Hunters'' plays in a first-person perspective, and includes numerous lore scans to reveal the game's story and details of the world. It tends to be less focused on exploration than other ''Metroid'' games, however, being closer to a regular FirstPersonShooter, though new weapons will allow access to new areas of previously-explored planets.
Alongside the single-player campaign, ''Hunters'' also includes a multiplayer mode, playable through local wireless as well as (formerly) online through the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. This mode allows any of the bounty hunters to be played, each of whom has their own signature abilities.
An early demo version of the game was packed in with the UsefulNotes/NintendoDS hardware for a while, which included three single-player modes as well as a local multiplayer mode.

''Metroid Prime: Hunters'' is a game in the ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'' series, released on the UsefulNotes/NintendoDS in 2006. A GaidenGame to the ''VideoGame/MetroidPrimeTrilogy'', it was developed by the Creator/{{Nintendo}} Software Technology Corporation- Nintendo of America's in-house development studio- rather then Creator/RetroStudios as with the other ''Prime'' games.
While it was released after ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime2Echoes'', the game takes place before it in the official timeline. The plot sends Samus Aran to the Alimbic Cluster, a mysterious area of the Tetra Galaxy where a lost race called the Alimbics once had an interplanetary empire. After the Galactic Federation intercepted a telepathic message claiming that "the secret to ultimate power resides in the Alimbic Cluster", they contracted Samus to travel to the cluster to find the truth behind the message. Of course, other hunters have followed the message as well, seeking the ultimate power for their own reasons, so Samus must fight off these rivals as she attempts to solve the mystery of the Alimbics.
