Samus' right arm is a gun, how could it not be a 'shooter'?!?

Nintendoes

Because the game could focus on adventuring aspects as opposed to the shooting.

True, but you're not going to have much of an adventure in Metroid Prime if you don't shoot anything. I agree that the term First Person Shooter has a connotation that Metroid Prime doesn't quite fit into.

I would say it is action-adventure with influences from first person shooters. Although the one part in MP3[spoiler] Where you escort the demolition troopers is quite a bit like an fps [/spoiler]
