Metroid Prime: Hunters
Nintendo DSFirst-Person Shooter
Metroid Prime: Hunters is a first-person action-adventure and shooter developed by Nintendo Software Technology and published by Nintendo for Nintendo DS. Samus Aran investigates a mysterious message concerning the Ultimate Power, competing with six rival bounty hunters while exploring the Alimbic Cluster. The game combines scanning, weapon-based combat, environmental puzzles, and platform navigation with a control scheme built around the DS touch screen. Its single-player campaign is accompanied by substantial local and online multiplayer modes, including several competitive rulesets. Reception praised the ambitious handheld presentation, touch controls, and multiplayer depth, although some players found the controls demanding and the campaign less atmospheric than the console Metroid Prime games.

How rankings are calculated
The list is generated from active EmuGamers catalog entries. Votes and play activity determine order; browser compatibility is reported separately and does not turn an untested game into a higher-ranked recommendation.

|---|---|---|
| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
