Fair Use Rationale for Metroid Prime[edit]

Rationale for the fair use of this image.

1. Nintendo has not released any screenshots to the public domain.
2. The image is used to illustrate the game's gameplay and the only third-person perspective used in the game, a source of difficulty for developers and a focus of fan reaction.
3. This image has been used in several websites, and so use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is.
4. The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the game.
5. The image does not limit Nintendo's ability to sell the game.
6. Metroid Prime has been released for public purposes, and therefore, the screenshot is intended for wide distribution.
