No you will not. The Metroid Series Jumps all over the place so the developers make sure you don't need to play one to understand the other. The game chronology Goes as so (numbers mean when released):
1. Metroid (Zero Mission)
5. Metroid Prime
7. Hunters
6. Echoes
8. Corruption
2. Return of Samus
3. Super Metroid
9. Other M
4. Fusion
This version has a save feature, so you dont need them
For metroid prime ( Game Cube ver.), you need to have a gameboy advance with a completed save file of metroid fusion. connect it to a controller input with a cable (you need to buy one). On Metroid Prime Trilogy, you need to finished Metroid Prime on any level and buy it on the extra menu (it cost 1 orange token and 2 silver tokens and then activeted).
You can't "hack" Metroid prime hunters yourself. If you need to cheat, you can get an action replay that "hacks" for you.
Sorry, but I don't know what you mean. By the way, this game was awesome (I beat it)
you need a lot of iduims to make a samus/metroid plush but maybe they do sell samus or metroid plush!
It was set in the year 2076
It is impossible to do without use of a cheating device such as the Action Replay. You need to beat both Metroid Fusion and Metroid Prime and connect them so you can play the original. Or buy Metroid Zero Mission and complete that to unlock it as a menu option. Or buy the Classic NES Series game for GBA. "Samus, shoot everything that moves and then look around."
You need to play WI-FI
No. It's the other way around. You need spider ball to get power bombs. Spider ball is the first the first item you get in Sanctuary Fortress.
There is no Metroid Prime 2: Corruption. Metroid Prime 2 is called "Echoes" and Metroid Prime 3 (THREE) is Corruption. You get it after you defeat the power bomb gaurdien in dark torvus bog at the same place where you fought the alpha bog (or whatever he's called) in light torvus bog. But you need spider ball before you can fight him.
Yes, the gameshark can work for tons of games, you just need to have the codes for it.
It depends what you like. In Zero Mission, you are more stealthy in some parts and is a remake of the original, and Fusion, it is rather scary, and you have to use your mind a LOT. But that is really in all Metroid games, but you get what I'm saying.
