It was developed by Nintendo Software Technology and published by [[Nintendo]]. It was released in [[North America]] on March 20, 2006, in [[Europe]] on May 5, 2006, and in [[Japan]] on June 1, 2006. When the Nintendo DS launched in 2004, it included an early demo of ''Metroid Prime Hunters'', which at that point was titled ''Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt''. Like the other titles in the [[Metroid Prime|''Metroid Prime'' series]], ''Metroid Prime Hunters'' is a first-person adventure game where the focus is on exploration and discovery. However, it differs from other titles in that there is no assisted aiming, a bigger focus on gameplay, and online [[multiplayer]]. [[Samus Aran]], the main character that the player plays as, can access her gunship from anywhere. The game uses both screens of the Nintendo DS: the top screen is used to show Samus' health and the amount of a weapon remaining, while the bottom screen shows the radar. The player moves Samus with the D-pad, and aiming is done with the use of the touch screen on the Nintendo DS' bottom screen. Online multiplayer can be played with up to four players. Players can play as Samus or one of six bounty hunters
