auf den Cube Clubs wurden Promo-DVDs ausgegeben, welche nicht nur videos, sondern auch hintergrundinformationen zu gewissen spielen enthalten. so war zb auch information über die geschichte von den metroid titeln dabei, die die titel chronologisch ordnet. ign war so nett und hat das kurz für uns zusammengeschrieben:
PART 1:
Metroid (1986)
Samus Aran made her debut in the original Metroid adventure, delving deep into the underground maze below the surface of the Planet Zebes. Mother Brain, the leader of the Space Pirates, plans on harnessing the power of Metroids, energy-based creatures with the power to suck the life from any living thing. But the evil brain doesn't count on Samus, who slowly gains strength and new powers as she fights through the monsters Kraid and Ridley. In the end, she destroys scores of Metroids before defeating Mother Brain.
PART 2:
Metroid Prime (2002)
Samus's adventure on the Nintendo GameCube actually takes place in the past. After the events of the first Metroid adventure, but before Metroid II, Samus learns that there were Space Pirate vessels in orbit as she fought on the surface of Zebes. She traces one of these to an orbit around a planet called Tallon IV and discovers an enormous Space Pirate research operation in progress. The Space Pirates are experimenting with a dangerous mutagen called Phazon, combining it with local life forms as they try to rebuild their army. Samus must delve deep into magma-filled caverns, poisonous mines, and icy caves as she tries to stop the Space Pirates' sinister plan.
PART 3:
Metroid II: Return of Samus (1991)
The second Metroid game takes place some time after the original. Samus flies to the home planet of the Metroids, SR-388, an unstable place racked by earthquakes and torrents of lava. Many powerful breeds of Metroid thrive here and in the cavers below the surface. Samus roots them all out, eventually destroying the Metroid Queen. A baby Metroid hatches immediately after the battle and imprints upon Samus. Thinking Samus is her mother, it helps her escape. Samus then turns the hatchling over to the Galactic Federation, thinking that researching it might prove fruitful.
PART 4:
Super Metroid (1994)
Super Metroid sees Samus Return to Zebes in pursuit of the Metroid hatchling, which has been stolen from the Galactic Academy by Ridley. Infiltrating the rebuilt base, she fights her way through the Space Pirate army including Kraid, Ridley, Crocomire and Draygon, then takes on the Mother Brain. The Metroid hatchling arrives just as Samus is about to succumb, sucking the life-force from Mother Brain and transferring it to Samus, who then destroys Mother Brain with her powered-up weapon. The Metroid, spent from its efforts, dies and crumbles to dust, and Samus flees the planet before it explodes.
PART 5:
Metroid Fusion (2002)
Metroid Fusion occurs shortly after Super Metroid. The absence of the Metroids has thrown the food chain out of balance on SR-388, and a parasitic virus called X (which was the Metroids' natural food) is multiplying. Samus is infected while researching it and the only way to save her is with a vaccine made from the DNA of the Metroid hatchling. Because of the Metroid DNA in her body, she can now absorb the X parasites to recover health and power-ups; a good thing, as the X quickly takes over a research station orbiting SR-388. As Samus fights against the rising tide of parasites, she's also being hunted by the SA-X, a parasite mimicking her at the height of her powers.
