Metroid Prime has been a masterpiece of gaming since its original release on the Nintendo GameCube in 2002, and this Remastered release is the best way to play it. Some folks might be upset that it’s not the full Remake treatment that some other games are receiving these day, like Final Fantasy VII, but it takes nothing away from this game. I dare say trying to reinvent it in new ways would actually make the game worse. Content-wise, there are very minute changes to the Lore entries to better tie into the releases that followed Prime, but everything else remains the same. It plays beautifully, looks beautiful, and is just a joy. Whether this is your first Metroid experience or you’re returning after many years, you will delight in your time upon Tallon IV.

As soon as I saw it I couldn't believe my very own eyes. Metroid prime remastered is an absolute masterpiece from the ground up and Retro Studios/Iron Galaxy did a magnificent job upscaling the graphics beyond my wildest expectations; though I do hope they add the fusion suits in future updates. Like the original GameCube version Prime remastered runs extraordinarily well on my switch console with zero issue. To those who have yet to experience this Metroid game, I only say this; it's most definitely a must play game & highly recommend it. As a fan of the original game, prime remastered is a well refined game & well worth every dollar spent.

While Metroid Prime 4 is still on hiatus, Nintendo and Retro Studios have gone back to their roots by remastering one of their classic GameCube title and Samus’ first 3D adventure in the world of first person shooters Metroid Prime.You take control of Samus Aran on a mission to discover the secrets of Talon IV while blasting deadly alien creatures and collecting items and weapons along the way to power up Samus’ armor in order to defeat the Space Pirates and life sucking Metroids. With this new remastered release, the graphics/visuals are beautifully stunning and bright compare to the original GameCube release which was dark and shady. Landscapes are also imaginative.

Whether in the hot magma of Magmoor Caverns or in the Wintery ice of Phandrena Drifts, the scenery is just mind blowing.Unlike the 2D Metroid games which are sidescrolling Platformers, you control Samus in a first person perspective while tackling 3D environments and tricky platforming. As hard as that may be, there are times you can miss your jumps as you can barely see the platform unless you look down after jumping so it will take some time to maneuver those jumps. As for the combat, it’s by far the best and Metroid Prime Remastered does a sensational job with the controls. No longer must you hold buttons to look around, and instead use analog controls which is very useful for players.With all these great new features, Metroid Prime Remastered is the perfect version of the original Metroid Prime for Metroid fans old and new.

Metroid Prime is one of the definitive GameCube classics and is still widely cited and used as an influence in Adventure games today (Star Wars: Fallen Order for example). This Remaster has set the bar for remasters. It is 60FPS in both docked and handheld mode. The lighting quality is amazing, shadows are also incorporated to a level that looks next-gen for a remaster. Music has been remastered and didn't do the typical 'just make it louder' like a lot of remasters these days are guilty of.Gameplay has had a ton of quality of life features added such as the ability to move and shoot at the same time, which makes Prime feel fresh, even for it being over 20 years old. I have bought Prime on each platform it has released on (GC, Wii, Switch) and will definitely say ... MoreMetroid Prime is one of the definitive GameCube classics and is still widely cited and used as an influence in Adventure games today (Star Wars: Fallen Order for example).

I’ve always loved the Metroid series but never played any of the 3D titles.While it’s definitely easier than the 2D games that came before and after it, I find it refreshing as the environment and music are super immersive and weird and wonderful, giving you more time to explore rather than shoot through rooms.It’s amazing how well they were able to translate everything you’ve come to love about the 2D games in 3D form. That all said, if you’re new to the series, it’s not a bad place to start and you won’t feel lost or confused. The only thing that can get confusing is the map but zooming out to world map and then back in to local map will help guide you to which exits route you to what entrances in different parts of the game. The environments are gorgeous and ... MoreI’ve always loved the Metroid series but never played any of the 3D titles.While it’s definitely easier than the 2D games that came before and after it, I find it refreshing as the environment and music are super immersive and weird and wonderful, giving you more time to explore rather than shoot through rooms.It’s amazing how well they were able to translate everything you’ve come to love about the 2D games in 3D form.

The environments are gorgeous and I found the size of game to be great. It’s very refreshing with all of the 100+ hour open world games with meaningless filler content.The soundtrack is on another level. It’s up there in the top 10 video game OST’s for me. My fingers are crossed that 2&3 will eventually get the same treatment and be released for the switch soon.And thank you Best Buy for keeping my preorder on time and in stock. I saw the articlesand posts online about out of stock nightmares and canceled orders from other vendors. That said, I was a bit nervous that my order status didn’t change until just a few hours until morning of pick up.
I never played the original and only played a few games in the franchise here and there. Overall, the game is very well polished and fun albeit a bit short. My first playthrough with about 75% collection of both items and log clocked in at just under 15 hrs.There's a moderate amount of reading required for this game to process information and find out what you have to do. Some things that players may find cumbersome would be scanning everything and backtracking. The overall game is only as long as it is because it takes you back and forth to previous areas once you unlock an item that allows you to overcome an obstacle the first time around.Nonetheless, gameplay and and ambience of the game is enjoyable and I look forward to the remake of the sequel of this game.
Metroid Prime Remastered is a masterpiece. It is a faithful recreation of the original game, with updated visuals, controls, and features. The game is still as challenging and rewarding as it was when it first released, and it is a must-play for any fan of Metroid or first-person shooters.The game's visuals have been completely overhauled, and they look absolutely stunning. The environments are detailed and atmospheric, and the enemies are brought to life with new models and textures.

I wasn't sold on playing the original Metroid Prime again as the 2nd in the series is my favorite, but it has been about 13 years since I've played a Metroid Prime game. I took a moment to think about what makes Metroid Prime an excellent game. And for me, it comes down to how they don't make you wait through a big intro to play the game. They just throw you into an easy beginning area, and give you some powers to show you the game. And then, they take those powers away and basically set you off as a weak version of yourself and let you figure out how to get those powers back. This is a perfect remaster, because it looks how you would remember the original and it holds up due to the gameplay being perfect when it originally came out. Yet, I forgot how much time had ... MoreI wasn't sold on playing the original Metroid Prime again as the 2nd in the series is my favorite, but it has been about 13 years since I've played a Metroid Prime game.

This is a perfect remaster, because it looks how you would remember the original and it holds up due to the gameplay being perfect when it originally came out. Yet, I forgot how much time had passed and how old the original looks now. Also, the updated controls are nice. If you've never played Metroid Prime then I think this is a great time to start. Also, if you played it 20 years ago, now's a great time to revisit.
If you played the original then you know how good Metroid prime was on gamecube. With the updated visuals this game is elevated. Recommend to play this again on switch. If you're new to the prime series of Metroid then prepare yourself. All the greatness of the 2d Metroid games is here. With a new threat that threaten the chozo and the corruption of the planet tallon lV Samus is now on a new mission to figure out what happened. Alot of the familiar power ups are here with a few new ones. The music, the gorgeous environments, the new enemies and the lore all come together for a fantastic game. Not just a must play for metroid fans but for every gamer.
Its always hard to gauge whether a remaster will be worth it, however in this case, it is!This is 100% the same Metroid Prime you know and loved on the Gamecube. Yes it was available in widescreen on the Wii with barely any visual updates (and annoying motion controls) - but this is the "Prime" version of the game.The visuals/textures have been completely redone in HD and look gorgeous - especially if you play on TV on an OLED Switch. Playability in handheld mode is a breeze.The game itself - as fun as ever - now we just need Nintendo to remaster the other two in the trilogy... 10/10 worth it if you played it in the past.8/10 if you like Metroid and haven't played it before. It is still the same game form 20 years ago - so the controls and movement can feel ... MoreIts always hard to gauge whether a remaster will be worth it, however in this case, it is!This is 100% the same Metroid Prime you know and loved on the Gamecube.
