After defeating the Space Pirates' leader, Mother Brain, Samus is dispatched in the ( Game Boy) sequel, Metroid II: Return of Samus (1991), to hunt down and exterminate the species on their home world. Case in point, the first game, released in 1986 on the NES, deals with Samus's assault on the Space Pirate base on Zebes, where she first encounters the Metroids. The Metroid franchise is somewhat unusual among Nintendo's library for its substantial continuity, and holds the honor of being one of the first Platformer franchises to showcase an explicit overarching story. note To paraphrase The Other Wiki, the core creative team that birthed the series consisted of Satoru Okada (created the basic concept of the series as being the "anti- Mario"), Yoshio Sakamoto (character designer who was "forcefully asked to participate" in the creation of the first game, only to become the overseer of the franchise going forward), Makoto Kano (scenario writer), Hiroji Kiyotake (character designer), and Gunpei Yokoi (who headed the R&D1 division and thus served as the producer). Gunpei Yokoi (the mind behind Nintendo's early portable gaming hardware like the Game & Watch and Game Boy) and Yoshio Sakamoto (who would go on to produce the WarioWare and Rhythm Heaven series) are often the most credited for the franchise's creation. They star the armored Bounty Hunter Samus Aran, with most installments revolving around her interactions with dangerous energy leeches called Metroids and her quest to annihilate the Space Pirates that plague the galaxy and killed both her human birth parents and adoptive bird-like Chozo family.
Metroid is a series of games produced by Nintendo that began in the 1980s, and is best known for being the Trope Maker for the exploratory Metroidvania genre.
