For Retro Studios, the fans come first

“Our gratification is when we read those message boards and we hear how much fun people have playing our games.” – Michael Kelbaugh – Executive Producer, President & CEO

“When Retro Studios develops games, the first audience that we think about are the fans of that series. And that is what drives our gameplay decisions.” – Mike Wikan – Senior Designer

You can clearly tell that Retro Studios wanted to pay respect to Metroid when developing the Prime games. Of course, some gameplay elements were different, but Prime 1, 2, and 3 featured a number of classic elements from the Metroid series.
