According to a 2003 interview with the game's director/writer Yoshio Sakamoto published in GSLA, he stated that after Super Metroid on the Super Famicom, they couldn't use the underpowered Game Boy Color for a new Metroid game. When the Game Boy Advance was released, a console whose specs surpassed the Super Famicom, the team from the mobile games division really wanted to work with it.

In the Chozo language, the word "Metroid" roughly translates to mean "ultimate warrior."
It is possible this name was chosen because the Chozo created the Metroids to fight the highly dangerous X parasite on SR388.
