Sandwiched between the prime trilogy, its honestly hard to say what the legacy of this game will be compared to the other prime games that'll be loved to the end of time. But honestly, I think it deserves to be up there with the rest. Yeah the campaign isn't the same kind of huge planetary adventure like Prime 1-2, but putting the prime formula on a smaller scale to be played in shorter bursts is so fun to see. I've always had a huge respect for NST as a studio, and seeing them push the DS to its boundries, and take risks within the Metroid world to make the game they want to create is so admirable. And being Nintendo's first online multiplayer FPS? Come on, the game deserves to be remembered for that alone.
