For decades, Nintendo has consistently been one of the superpowers in the video game world and as such has not only created classic consoles and games but also, franchises. After scoring hits with Donkey Kong, Mario, and The Legend of Zelda, Nintendo would continue their hot streak when they would follow those up with the action adventure game Metroid. Originally released in 1986, the series follows the adventures of bounty hunter Samus Aran, who was not only one of the most popular characters of all time but groundbreaking becoming one of the first prominent female heroes in video game history. The success of Metroid would spawn a franchise, including the sequel: Metroid II: Return of Samus in 1991.
