Metroid.com is the official site for the Metroid games. It previously held links to the Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Metroid Prime Pinball, Metroid Prime Hunters, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Metroid: Other M and Metroid Prime: Federation Force sites. The background music was the Save Station music heard in Corruption.

As of August 2021, Metroid.com redirects to https://metroid.nintendo.com/.

The Prime website featured the Angstrom Analogue Radio Mapping Array.

Metroid.jp[]

Metroid japanese website — The Metroid.jp website.

Metroid.jp is the official Japanese site for Metroid. Again as with Metroid.com it appears to have dropped the links to the 2D Metroid titles. Currently it is focusing on Metroid: Samus Returns.

The official site in 2003 featured both Metroid Prime and Metroid Fusion, spun off into their own separate sub-sites. The site hosted interviews with Yasuo Inoue, Tadashi Konan, Yoshio Sakamoto, Kenji Yamamoto and Kensuke Tanabe, Michael Mann, Mark Pacini and Karl Deckard, and Miyuki Miyabe. The Metroid Database unofficially translated the joint interview with Sakamoto, Yamamoto and Tanabe and released it on June 15, 2011^[1], and Shinesparkers translated the rest of the interviews for release on February 26, 2021.^[2]

In 2004, a website was created for Metroid: Zero Mission, and a second for Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. Both sites featured fan Q&As with Yoshio Sakamoto and the development team behind Echoes, answering fan questions about the Metroid series and the respective game. The Metroid Database released an unofficial English translation of the Zero Mission Q&A in December 2009, and Shinesparkers released a translation of the Echoes Q&A on February 24, 2018.[1]

At least three sites have doubled as flash games for Prime, Echoes and Corruption.

From 2009-2010, the site featured the Prime trilogy, and did not have Hunters or Pinball. Instead the website featured the New Play Control! Metroid games and Corruption. However, for all three there was a description link telling Samus's tales in each game. Below each link was another link to the game website. Finally, this page featured a teaser for "Another Side Story", which led to heavy fan speculation about a potential spinoff involving the Space Pirates. It later turned out to be a journal from the perspective of a Pirate, which was unofficially translated by the Metroid Database in May 2011.

On January 29, 2010, Metroid.jp was updated to feature an image from the Metroid: Other M trailer with the piece of piano music playing. The website later featured a remix of Theme of Samus Aran, Space Warrior, which was arranged by Kuniaki Haishima.
