Samus also discovers the presence of several Chozo Ghosts in the ruins of the ancient civilization. In the process it absorbed some of the pirate weaponry to its body and then returned to its lair in the Impact Crater. The creature was kept in a stasis tank, but it eventually was able to escape. It was also discovered that the creature was immune to the negative effects of Phazon, and that it had also a high appetite for the substance. It was then named Metroid Prime by the pirates. It was discovered that the creature was genetically similar to a Metroid, though much more evolved. The creature killed the miners, but was later captured and subjected to study. After hacking their database on the Phendrana Drifts facility, Samus discovers that the pirates had accidentally entered the Chozo temple from the underground and discovered a strange creature within. The pirates officially named the substance Phazon. After this the Chozo left the planet.Īfter exploring the planet, Samus discovers that the Space Pirates have built a base on Tallon IV, and are experimenting with the "Great Poison" and its effects on Metroids and other local species. They also sealed its entrance and left twelve artifacts scattered all over the planet that served as keys to break the seal. The Chozo built a Temple over the crater to contain the Worm and to stop the spread of the substance on the planet. Eventually, they resolved to seal the meteor and the Impact Crater from which the substance was emanating. The Chozo, who were themselves being eroded by the substance, were unsuccessful in their attempts to right the planet's ecosystem. The various carvings scattered around the Chozo Ruins document the Chozo's struggle to destroy the substance emanating from the meteor and return the planet to its original state. Samus also discovers that the Space Pirates estimated that life in Tallon IV would perish in a span of 25 years. At the time of Samus's arrival, it had already caused widespread mutations in the local organisms, and rendered some areas lifeless. As the poisonous substance brought by the meteor spread over the planet, it caused great damage to the biosphere. The meteor, which would later be discovered to be a Leviathan, carried with it a strange substance, known to the Chozo as "The Great Poison". Thanks to the Lore the Chozo left on the ruins and temples of Tallon IV, Samus discovers that the planet had been struck by a meteor many years ago. Samus discovers that Tallon IV was formerly inhabited by the Chozo. A remake was done for the Wii with updated controls and improved graphics, released in Japan as part of the " New Play Control!" series and in North America and Europe it was released together with the other two games of the Prime trilogy in the collector´s edition package Metroid Prime: Trilogy. When it was released, Metroid Prime was critically acclaimed and became a commercial success, selling over a million copies on American alone. In addition to that, due to frequent layoffs and corporate reorganization at Retro Studios during development, the game was believed to be a failure throughout gaming related message boards, publications, and magazines. This news was met with a cold reception from the fans who thought that it was a disgraceful transition to 3D. It was later revealed that the game was meant to be played in a first-person perspective instead of a third-person point of view. Metroid Prime was first announced on E3 2001.
