is an action-adventure video game published by Nintendo for the Game Boy Advance. It was released in North America, Europe, and Australia in November 2002, and in Japan in February 2003. The game is considered to be the fourth main installment in the ''Metroid'' series; the intro alternatively refers to the game as ''Metroid 4''. ''Metroid Fusion'' was developed by Nintendo Research & Development 1, the same development team that created the previous ''Super Metroid'', to which ''Metroid Fusion'' bears heavy resemblance. Chronologically, ''Metroid Fusion'' is the latest in the ''Metroid'' series. The story centers on bounty hunter Samus Aran, who is sent by the Galactic Federation to the Biologic Space Laboratories space station to investigate an explosion. There, she learns that the station is swarming with organisms infected with X Parasites, virions that can replicate their hosts' physical appearances and memories, killing them afterward. Learning that the Galactic Federation plans to capture the X Parasites for further study, Samus must destroy the space station to protect the Federation from the underestimated destructive power of the X Parasites. The game was given near-universal acclaim, receiving an aggregated score of 92 out of 100 from Metacritic. Praise focused on the action-oriented gameplay, while criticism targeted towards the focus on objective based gameplay, thus making the game more linear compared to Super Metroid. ''Metroid Fusion'' received several awards, including Handheld Game of the Year at the 2002 Interactive Achievement Awards, Best Game Boy Advance Adventure Game from IGN, and Best Action Game on Game Boy Advance from GameSpot. In the United States, the game sold 199,723 copies in its first month with revenues of $5,590,768, making it the month's tenth bestselling game. By August 2006, 940,000 copies of the game were sold in North America, while by November 2004, 155,000 units were sold in Japan. ==Gameplay== ''Metroid Fusion'' is an action-adventure platform shooter in which the player controls Samus Aran. Like previous games in the series, ''Metroid Fusion'' is set in a large open-ended world with elevators that connect regions, which each in turn contains rooms separated by doors. Samus opens most doors by shooting at them, while some only open after she reaches a certain point. ''Metroid Fusion'' unfolds in a more linear manner than previous ''Metroid'' games due to its focus on storyline; for example, Navigation Rooms are introduced in ''Metroid Fusion'', which tell the player where to go. The gameplay revolves around solving puzzles to uncover secrets, platform jumping, and shooting enemies while searching for power-ups that allow Samus to reach new areas. Injected with a Metroid vaccine in ''Metroid Fusion'', Samus can absorb X Parasites that restore health, missiles, and bombs. Power-ups can be obtained either by downloading them in Data Rooms, or absorbing a Core-X, which appears after defeating each boss. ''Metroid Fusion'' includes gameplay mechanics new to the series such as the ability to grab ledges and climb ladders.〔 Owners of both ''Metroid Prime'' and ''Metroid Fusion'' can unlock new features in ''Metroid Prime'' using the Nintendo GameCube – Game Boy Advance link cable. After completing ''Metroid Prime'', the player can unlock Samus's Fusion Suit for use in ''Metroid Prime'', and if they complete ''Metroid Fusion'', they can unlock an emulated version of the first ''Metroid'' game. Players can also link ''Metroid Fusion'' to ''Metroid: Zero Mission'' to unlock a ''Metroid Fusion'' picture gallery, which includes additional concept art and extra images from the Japanese version of ''Metroid Fusion'' which chronicle Samus's early years. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Metroid Fusion」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
