According to this, the story had been told once already. That's the Original Metroid. |
Dai Grepher: "For the first time ever" means "once again"? What text are you reading? That clearly states that for the first time ever, the real story behind Samus Aran's first mission is told. As well all know, Metroid was not Samus Aran's first mission. You just provided evidence for my side, so I must thank you for your effort.

The March Of The Black Queen: That 'Timeline' is obviously a release list and not a regular timeline.
Prime between III and Fusion? No Prime 2? |
Dai Grepher: Yes, Prime does come after Super Metroid, as we can see by the spaceship that Samus has. The game also features scans that state "The Zebes Base has fallen", which could be referring to Metroid or Super Metroid, true, but it is possible that it comes after Metroid 3.
The fact that there is no mention of Prime 2 only means that it hasn't been updated since Zero Mission's release.
It is also no release date order. Prime and Fusion were released at the same time, so if what you said were true then both games should share the same point in the timeline. Instead, Fusion is dated after it because it is obviously the later game.
So there you have what Nintendo has said about the game not being a remake. This is undoubtedly a prequel. Do you people still think that it is a remake, or have you all finally accepted the facts?
