Metroid: Zero Mission

Metroid: Zero Mission is a 2004 action-adventure game for the Game Boy Advance developed by Nintendo Research & Development 1 and published by Nintendo. It is a recreation of the original Metroid (1986), with updated aesthetics and gameplay. The player controls bounty hunter Samus Aran, who travels to planet Zebes after discovering that the Space Pirates are experimenting with Metroids, violent parasite monsters, like in previous Metroid games. The gameplay revolves around exploration, with the player looking for power-ups to gain access to previously inaccessible areas. The remake includes new weapons, new locales, mini-bosses, new difficulty levels, and a revised plot that delves into Samus's background.

Zero Mission garnered praise for its additional material, aesthetics, gameplay, and upgrades over the original, although it was panned for its short length. The game got multiple awards, including 46th position on Nintendo Power's list of the Top 200 Games. IGN also called it the ninth-best Game Boy Advance game. As of February 2005, it has sold over 439,000 units in the United States and 69,000 in Japan. The game was launched in Japan on June 19, 2014, in the PAL countries on March 12, 2015, and in North America on January 14, 2016.
