I added Corrution to the template. Major Organ 23:19, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
Could you say why you reverted? Fredrik | talk 08:30, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
I find the chronology/release order to be repetitive and lacking. I propose splitting itto "Console" "handheld" and "spinoffs" or something like that. Hbdragon88 06:55, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
I like to propose this version of the Template.
By chronology: Metroid ( Zero Mission) | Prime ( Prime Pinball) | Prime 2: Echoes | Return of Samus | Super | Fusion |
By release order: Metroid | Return of Samus | Super | Prime | Fusion | Zero Mission | Prime 2: Echoes | Prime Pinball |
Upcoming: Hunters | Prime 3 | Dread |
Universe: Samus Aran | Characters | Chozo | Gunship | Items | Locations |
Enemies: Metroid species | Mother Brain | Ridley | Kraid | Space Pirates |
Ripping off from the Mario and Zelda series templates, I've created an alternate Metorid one here: User:Hbdragon88/Temp. Tell me what you think. - Hbdragon88 06:39, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
metroid prime 2d a metroid fan game. is a demo to the pq you can also unlock a beta pq in this demo.
What happened to the template with links to Metroid Metal and Relics of the Chozo? It was the best template I think we had.(What happened to the Metroid Metal page? The only thing left is a page for Stemage, and it has been nominated for deletion.) Mit kebes T 15:10, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
I made a new template, which I think is much better then the old one. Obviously, some people may disagree with the new template. If you do not think that this new template is as good as the previous, you're free to criticize, edit, or remove. It's all good with me. LerLerson 01:59, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
Lets use this, it has more useful links than the standard. - Mit kebes T 15:07, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

The problem is that it has the exact same number of useful links, and a whole bunch of other links besides. - A Man In Bl♟ck ( conspire | past ops) 02:56, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
I cannot understand at all why they are useful links.If someone wants to see a link except 'games',such as characters, areas, items, he/she needs to take the trouble to find the link in some sentence of other articles.Articles of any other games, comics etc. have not only the link to their series but also their character, terms, and so on. I think it better to use the temprate based on this.I'm afraid only you look to be against it.-- 203.110.124.145 15:05, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
I like this one, but the pinball should be a seperate link, not a parenthetical of prime one. they all carry the "metroid prime" prefix, so it is no more related than the others. the metroid (zero mission) works, though. And also, including dark samus with metroid prime is a bit of a spoiler. I personaly read the end of the Metroid Prime article before completing echoes and was really annoyed. --a non-member
I say we should switch to this as soon as possible. Navigating will be MUCH easier Gurko 13:44, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Why isn't Corruption on this list? (And why did my attempt to put it there get reverted?) Is it because the game hasn't been released yet? There's a lot of substantial information in the Corruption article, so I think it makes sense to have it linked in the template. — KieferSkunk ( talk) — 22:58, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

I thought about something after seeing separate templates after the general shrinking such as Template:Metal Gear characters: a Metroid universe template. See if it's a good idea. igordebraga ≠ 21:33, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

The current design makes it seem as though the Prime games comprise an obscure and minor offshoot in the series. I think most everyone would agree that the Prime games are just as important as the 2D ones. While it may be appropriate to separate the two groups in the template, I don't think it's fair to list the 2D incarnations as the "Games" of the series. Thoughts? Subsurd 05:08, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
I'm gonna take Dread off the template, since it doesnt exist. DurinsBane87 19:55, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
who removed chozo? I wish the person would stop. If only samus is next to universe, whats the point of having universe there? How would people know about things such as races and creatures as well as planets and other things if someone keeps deleting those articles and merging only one paragraph about it or not mention it at all? Someone else did not like that with Mario enemies —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chykka207 ( talk • contribs) 05:31, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Hello everyone. Why is Metroid II's number included in the template while Prime 2/3's aren't? Include the numbers or don't, but a combination of the two doesn't make sense to me. - sesuPRIME talk • contribs 00:28, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
I think everyone know here that there are 4 games in the "main" prime series: Prime, Echoes, Corruption and Hunters. Why Trilogy and Pinball are in the main section of this series? If you look at Mario and Zelda series' templates, you will notice that games like Mario Sports Mix and Link's Crossbow Training are not in the main section... Why shouldn't we change the Metroid template in a similar way?
I highly doubt any first time readers will see all games as "pinball" games because theres nothing (not even prior to my last edit) suggested or even implied that all prime games are all pinball games. The group is named "Prime series" with only 1 pinball game out of the other 5. But whatever, crisis averred so to speak. Lucia Black ( talk) 02:35, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
It would make sense to have a "fangames" group if we had more articles about Metroid fangames, but with AM2R being the only one, it makes more sense to me to combine it with the "related" group. The point of a group is to group similar items together.-- IDV talk 19:30, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
At the time of this writing (28 September 2018), Metroid Prime 4 redirects to the Metroid series page. Until it has its own independent article, Prime 4 should remain hidden from the navbox. – Hounder4 17:53, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
Isn't it a side-story / spin-off? I don't think even officially it is considered part of the main series -- 193.188.126.164 ( talk) 06:00, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
