Metroid Fusion is a 2D Metroid game released for the Game Boy Advance. The game is a follow-up to Super Metroid, being referred to in-game under the title "Metroid 4". Chronologically, Metroid Fusion is the final game in the series.
In North America the game was originally released on the same day as Metroid Prime, and both games can be linked together using a Game Boy Advance - Nintendo GameCube Link Cable; in Metroid Prime players unlock the Fusion Suit as a skin, while in Metroid Fusion players unlock the original Metroid. Metroid Fusion can also be linked to Metroid: Zero Mission to unlock a picture gallery for Metroid Fusion.
The game was later distributed as part of the Nintendo 3DS Ambassador's Program in 2011, and released for the Virtual Console service on Wii U in 2014.

Samus Aran returns in an all-new Metroid adventure!
While lending mission support on planet SR388, interstellar bounty hunter Samus Aran is attacked by an X parasite, an organism with the ability too mimic the abilities of any creatures it infects. Near death, Samus™ is saved by a vaccine made from the DNA of the last Metroid–he X parasite's only natural predator. When the X spread to a research station in orbit around SR388, a weakened Samus is forced to exterminate them all...or die trying.
- Search out the X! Experience classic Metroid game play as Samus explores the secret passages of a massive research station teeming with hostile life forms.

- There's nowhere to hide! The SA-X, an unstoppable X mimicking Samus, is on the loose, and it could be just around the corner...

Story
During an investigation mission in SR388, Samus is attacked and infected by an X parasite, which quickly multiplies inside her and endangers her life. Acting quickly, the Galactic Federation surgically remove infected pieces of her Power Suit and develop a vaccine using the DNA of the last Metroid, Metroids being the only natural predators of the X. Samus survives the procedure, and now clad in the "Fusion Suit", Samus is tasked with investigating the B.S.L. Research Station to eliminate the X, while also avoiding SA-X, X parasites that have taken on Samus's appearance and weaponry.
Gameplay
Metroid Fusion plays similarly to Super Metroid. The B.S.L. Research Station is divided into six sectors that can be explored, while also featuring a more linear style gameplay in which the player is ordered by their ship's computer, named "Adam", to investigate certain parts of the station, due to the game's more prominent focus on storytelling. Samus still obtains power-ups as the player progresses, though this time they are either downloaded from Data Rooms or are given after defeating bosses by absorbing a "Core-X".
