The subject of cheating in this game doesn't seem to get covered here. This game is infamous for bringing out cheaters on Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection that more or less ruined the multiplayer experience because it was so ubiquitous until nintendo got around to banning players and such. They never really fixed cheating in this game, but apparently learned from it in future Wi-Fi titles which don't have as severe a cheating problem. 74.75.15.247 ( talk) 00:59, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
The gameplay section is a bit lacking, I think there should be a paragraph on the single player mode, then the multiplayer mode. A one-sentence mention of multiplayer does not fully do justice to a game based around multiplayer (or at least with a far more popular multiplayer mode). I can't source that it's far more popular, but you get the idea. So, finding more sources would be appreciated and help this article immensely.-- ZXCVBNM 07:01, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
I'll add some information on the modes because it seriously lacks the whole multiplayer aspect still. 74.166.95.229 ( talk) 01:06, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
Let's vote on this, who thinks we should re add the stuff I added and Garry took away, I used references(though an incorrect tag because I didn't know how) and had the details of the best part of the game, it might need grammar clean up be to be removed all together is not fair to multiplayer fans. it was less then 1/3 of the article, and multiplayer is the number one reason people buy this game. 74.166.95.229 ( talk) 17:20, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

There isn't much mention of the other hunters. The names aren't even mentioned. Should we consider putting some details in here, or even making a new article for the six hunters? ConstantCabbage ( talk) 22:34, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
Mike Harrington, Metroid Prime Hunter's art director, said this in one of my old issues of Nintendo Power:
From Metroid Prime Hunter's intro:
These two sources make it quite clear that Nintendo Software Technology and Retro Studios did not co-develop this game. NST developed it and Retro merely assisted with the art direction. I think Retro should still be mentioned in the article, but not listed as a developer in the infobox. - sesu PRIME 22:53, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Kensuke Tanabe: This game is its own universe, cut off from any other Metroid game, so there's no link between these characters and any game. We're going to start from this point with these guys.
That's right. A spinoff. So why does this constantly show up in fan-made Metroid timelines? It has nothing to do with anything. 208.101.163.145 ( talk) 21:18, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
Noxus redirects here, though he is never mentioned in the page Feathered serpent ( talk) 08:07, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
How do we know NST wrote the manual? I don't see that stated in it (besides in the credits, which are for the game itself, not the booklet). Would suggest removing it unless someone can clarify. Glades12 ( talk) 05:47, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
