    Es un remaster que se ve y se juega genial. El original de Gamecube ya fue en su día un prodigio técnico y esta nueva versión hace honor al original. Juego a 60 frames estables que se ve genial hasta en modo portátil. Distintos tipos de control que se pueden elegir al gusto del usuario.

    This is not a remaster this is a REMAKE. I'm literally shocked how this game looks on a switch even connected to a 65Oled screen. Retro Studios are without a doubt one of the best developers in the world, I don't think nobody will believe this is a switch game , definitely they did sort of black magic to make this happen at 60fps, simply stunning.

    This is an absolutely sublime remaster of a game that was already a masterpiece. The game runs flawlessly, looks incredible with the updated models and assets, and plays fantastic with a ton of various control options. Incredible job by Retro on this one, and if anyone from that company is reading this: Thank you!

    Always wanted to play this growing up but never got around to it. Now I get to play it 20+ years later and it holds up great. If you have a Switch this game is a necessity.

But when the game was already considered to be a masterpiece, it makes complete sense to keep it as is. Being able to enjoy it in handheld mode is a pure joy. 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

    Bueno hace falta dar una opinión acerca de este juego, lo jugué en GC y WII es increíble independiente de si se ve mejor o no. Solo quiero decir que PIPEROS dan asco, son lo peor en el mundo de los videojuegos. Mejor vayan a ver su serie.

    This game is fantastic. 60fps dual analogue supper, gyro support if you prefer that, Wii style controls, whatever you want you get it. They gave tons of accessibility options, and they fully rebuilt and redid the assets, this is really more of a remake than a remaster. 10/10.

    Metroid Prime is already one of the best games of all time and they managed to upgrade all textures or redo all of them from scratch and it looks so beautiful. They also have added so many accessibility and control options that capsulates the modern feeling too. The price being 40$ instead of 60$ is just beautiful.
    Original metroid prime was 97 this game deserves even higher!!!

    It's been so long since I first started the adventure in the Gamecube version. With the remaster I got a piece of childhood back and got goosebumps directly.

Plus the fact you get to control the game like an FPS like Halo this time? Awesome. There’s also other controls methods for those who prefer the other ones! The classic controls, motion, and a hybrid of both of those. Not to mention there’s new neat collectibles like the game’s soundtrack or getting to see the game’s art. Plus a lot of good accessibility not seen in other Nintendo ports or game’s in general all for $40?? This is the first time it’s been available to play on the go! If you’ve ever been on the edge to try out the Prime series this is the best time ever to do so, no doubt. Personally, I don’t think you will regret it!… Expand

    Amazing, atmospheric, a beautiful example of taking a 2D game into the third dimension. Visually, it flourishes with superb art direction, giving each area a unique colour pallet. Wonderful soundtrack, combining electronic synths with a choir to produce a resounding success!

    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.
