    Metroid Prime remaster is a perfect reminder why open world games aren’t the holy grail of gaming. It’s a concise game that feels great to explore.

    The level design is close to perfect with almost Hub like areas that lead to the different parts of the level making “backtracking” painless. It’s a 14-16 hour game that doesn’t wast your time and surprises and delights at every turn.    … Expand

    I wouldn't call a remake of an old game a shadow drop in the same sense of Hi-Fi Rush, but seeing as how much better this remake looks, I guess that could be up to date. I'm not playing when I say this is the first time I've been visually impressed by a Switch title.

Maybe to 'expensive' on the Nvidia GPU, or just didn't fit with the new more advanced baked lighting? In any case, I'll take the smooth 60fps any day. Honestly a Switch game shouldn't look this good .. I tried all 3 modes of control, became proficient at all of them, and not sure which is my favorite since they all have pros and cons. Dual stick works well with the pro controller on the TV, classic feels good in hand held/joycon since the sticks are smaller and feel a little less 'precise'. Honestly a bit surprised how well motion pointer worked considering no sensor bar, and enjoyed that quite a bit. It's more about the offset from the last time you zero'd out than actually pointing at places on the screen. Which allows for a more relaxed arm/wrist position.

    No, this game doesn't need fast travel or infinite save states. That's the whole point of exploration and finding new things the second/third time. Loved it. Maybe it should be 9.5 because they didn't credit the names of the original creators (blanket staff credit), or including more behind the scenes/documentary stuff would have been neat... But I'm rounding up.    … Expand

    Metroid Prime has been an experience I’ve wanted for a long time. Becoming a fan so late in the franchise and playing the 2D games, all I got to hear about for years was how good the 3D ones are.

Becoming a fan so late in the franchise and playing the 2D games, all I got to hear about for years was how good the 3D ones are. Between not owning a Gamecube anymore and Prime 4 being continuously delayed, hoping for a remaster of the original became one of my number one wishes for the Switch, and thankfully my wish was granted.

    Metroid Prime captures the full essence of what makes the franchise great, with its puzzle-like bosses and fantastic progress system. The feeling of exploring, finding a new ability, and getting excited to explore new areas is at its finest here. Gameplay is fast and intense with very impressive visuals making this a true remaster in ever sense of the word, and overall for a game two-decades old it still felt as though I was playing something new and fresh. Where this game showed its age was in its brutal difficulty; games were shorter back then, so they had to be harder. A lot of my play time was spent replaying the same rooms between save points trying to reach a new milestone, and that repetitive nature rarely made me feel happy to succeed and made me instead cheer it was over. The other sign of its age is complete lack of direction. Sure occasionally the game gives you hints but sometimes they’re contradictory to where you need to go, and they only give you those hints after you’ve searched aimlessly for a bit. To make things worse sometimes you have to solve very strange one time puzzles to progress, with no indicator of where or how to solve them. To you Gamecube kids who figured these puzzles out with not strategy guide or internet I tip my hat to you, because childhood me would have given up.

    In the grand scheme of things however these complaints are minor and cannot take away from the true work of art I played. The world was fun to explore, the music was some of the best in franchise (and game) history, and the most important thing was this game was FUN! Every boss fight felt great to win, every power-up made me feel cooler having earned it, and in general this game completely exceeded my expectations for Metroid in 3D. Years of hope and patience definitely paid off, and I can only hope more remasters are on the way because I want to continue this journey all the way to the long awaited new entry.    … Expand

    Nintendo really went all out with this one. When I had originally heard rumors that they were remastering Metroid Prime, I felt they should just give us a Switch port of Metroid Prime Trilogy. Happy to have been wrong. The graphical overall is superb & the new controls breath new life into an all time classic. Would love to see Prime 2 & 3 get the same treatment.

The game carries over features from the Wii version such as casual mode, and motion controls (but this time optional). The extras and art gallery are also stellar. The graphics are the biggest upgrade though, looking clean and crisp on my 75-inch TV (which can be rare for Switch games), and not dropping a single frame. It is without a doubt the definitive version of the game, and at a reasonable price. This is how you do a remaster.    … Expand

I have every detail of the original GC Metroid Prime memorized, I know it like the back of my hand, and as a tradition I play it once a year from start to finish. That being said, the remaster perfectly captures the essence of the original game perfectly and I say that with no hyperbole. It doesn't drastically change the art style like most remakes, but gives it a much needed face lift, so much so it actually shows the original Prime's age. The dual stick controls make it handle like a dream, and for purest who like the tank controls of the original, that is an option to play with, among other control styles like the Trilogy releases motion controls, or you can do hybrid controls for gyro aiming for those who want it. The game might be running on dated hardware at this point, but it's hard to tell with how fantastic this game looks, being visually on par with current day releases. It runs at 60 FPS and does not hiccup once during the entire run (Yes, this includes handheld mode), and load times are almost non-existent; with me only being able to count one loading screen ever in all three of my play throughs. The music is left totally untouched, just of a much higher quality, and some mixing issues were fixed so we can now hear the soundtrack as intended, sound design has seen some tweaks with added details.

    Metroid Prime Remastered sets a new standard for what a remaster should be. Granted, this will never replace the original for me, I will still play my old GC initial release for speedrunning, but if I just want to play Metroid Prime again? This is the version I will be playing for the foreseeable future. It just has so many improvements over the original that the tree things in this remaster that I dislike will come off as nitpicks. By the way, those two little gripes are the lack of holograms around Samus' boots when she obtains Space Jump, the mirrors in the Chozo Ruins don't reflect Samus, and Samus' face admittedly isn't a good look for her (at least in my opinion. She doesn't look bad, but she can look better). In conclusion, PLAY IT. You owe it to yourself if you love Metroid, if you love FPS games, if you love metroidvania's, or if you want a good time. This game really shows you what the Switch is really capable of when you have competent developers behind the wheel.

    Also, if you're looking to emulate the game on a Steam Deck, please support Retro Studios and buy the game and show Nintendo this is where the moneys at.    … Expand

    Simply stunning! From dual stick controls to the classic and wii pointer. The visuals are outstanding. I had this game at launch on the GameCube and on the the Wii, in the trilogy edition. This is truly the definitive version. The love crafted into this game shows and doesn't deter even against new shooters. There isn't another game like this and I look forward with anticipation for Prime 4.

    Metroid Prime Remastered is an example of a remaster done great, and leaves little reason to return to the original game outside of speed-running tech or the currently missing Fusion Suit extra. There are two major factors that contribute to the success of this remaster, the controls and the graphical updates.

    The controls have been completely re-hauled with dual stick controls and    Metroid Prime Remastered is an example of a remaster done great, and leaves little reason to return to the original game outside of speed-running tech or the currently missing Fusion Suit extra. There are two major factors that contribute to the success of this remaster, the controls and the graphical updates.

    The controls have been completely re-hauled with dual stick controls and gyro compatibility both in and out of lock on modes. There are multiple other controls modes as well, one mirroring the classic control scheme, Wii control schemes, and a hybrid between the two. The controls feel very natural, and apart from some fight with my own muscle memory, are a joy to use.

    The graphics have been updated massively as well. This is much closer to a remake than a typical remaster with updated models, geometry, textures and lighting improvements across the whole game. While this changes some visual aspects from the original, it stays incredibly close to the original. The much moodier lighting helps many areas feel closer to their original concept art and I can't say there was a single area I ran into that felt worse than the original game, which in my experience, is a rarity for remasters in general. The graphics and colors especially pop on an OLED screen, and provide great contrast especially in darker areas of Tallon IV.

    The game looks great whether docked or played in handheld mode. The framerate is a solid 60fps with the exception of one momentary dip during a flying pirates death that resulted in a half-second frame drop that I have been unable to reproduce in subsequent playthroughs.

    With very smart upgrades, and respect to the original source material, Metroid Prime Remastered not only stands closer to a remake, but sets the bar for what I believe a remaster should strive to be. I can only hope if Metroid Prime 2 & 3 ever make their way to the Switch, they're treated to a similar level of polish as the first entry. If Prime Remastered is anything to go by, I think the Prime series has a bright future in Retro's skilled hands.    … Expand

I always liked the map, but It could have been tweaked to include more shades to easier differentiate between rooms, 6. it's a neat picking but original doors looked better. 7. 3 shots before being able to charge is an odd design choice.

    All in all, this game is a must play for everyone who likes to figure things out.
    And I can't wait for Prime4. It's been so so long since the announcement!    … Expand

    This is an excellent remaster that preserves a classic game and makes it highly playable by modern standards. It also confirms that Metroid Prime remains as special a title as ever.

    Game makers: take note. Metroid Prime Remastered is a masterclass in how to modernize a masterpiece. Twenty years after the series made the transition to 3D, this remains a classic that has stood the test of time. The updated visuals prove that with some optimization and visual tricks, the Switch is really capable of delivering great games. In fact, this is one of prettier – if not the prettiest –Switch games to date.

    A classic returns in Metroid Prime Remastered. A complete visual overhaul makes the world of the game look better and more detailed than ever before. A new dual-stick control scheme makes the game approachable and palatable for new players, while veterans can opt for controls that mimic the original. Underneath it all, though, the masterpiece that is Metroid Prime Remains unchanged. Some more quality of life improvements could perhaps have been made, but it is a tiny complaint for a near-perfect remaster.
