Metroid Prime Remastered review/first thoughts is a remastered version of Metroid Prime that was released for the Nintendo Switch in 2023. It was announced during a Nintendo Direct on February 8, 2023 and released digitally the same day, with a physical version set to be released on February 22, 2023 in North America and on March 3, 2023 in other regions.
Metroid Prime Remastered features updated models, textures, audio, and controls.
Metroid Prime is an action-adventure game developed by Retro Studios and published by Nintendo for the GameCube. Metroid Prime is the fifth main Metroid game and the first Metroid to use 3D computer graphics and a first-person perspective. Since exploration takes precedence over combat, Nintendo classifies the game as a "first-person adventure" rather than a first-person shooter. It was released in North America in November 2002, and in Japan and Europe the following year. One day before its North American release, Nintendo released the Game Boy Advance game Metroid Fusion, marking the return of the Metroid series after an eight-year hiatus following Super Metroid (1994)

As a PS2 owner back in the day, there were few games that made me envy Gamecube owners. Metroid Prime was one of those games.

It was the first generation I had home consoles from, we had no tv at home just Gameboys. I bought a used GC first, a used ps2 later. Both had such amazing games not available on the other. But I wouldn't change the order in retrospect. GC is my favourite of the twins you can't have a favourite of without feeling bad towards the other.

Metroid Prime is THE game that got me into gaming as an adult. Watched my brother play 10 hrs a day every day. Went out and bought a platinum GC with Prime 2 Echoes. I played so much I dreamed about the Ing at night (not joking, I really did)

@10191927 Жыл бұрын

Those Ing had to be the creepiest Metroid enemies ever introduced, they are intimidating and truly other worldly, those things made me dread the dark world of Aether. Plus add in the limited bubbles of light, it made fighting the Ing feel so claustrophobic, venturing into the very atmosphere of Dark Aether was deadly. Prime 2 Echoes is my personal favorite of the Prime games.

This is really sad when the Gamecube had them, and the Switch version with its improved graphics leaves you stranded in dark corridors. Its really inconstitent and distracting. When you can see the shimmering of your arm-cannon is illuminating the inner side of your helmet, but a giant glowing orb of plasma does nothing... These are the moments where i have to ask, is it idiocy or intetional? Both answers are bad!

I'm still having a hard time believing this is here!!! I was sitting here trying to figure out how to emulate this on my PC and saw this came out. As badly as I want to play this on mouse and keyboard I think I definitely have to support this remaster instead!! Cool video I love the music choice in the background!!!

One of the greatest games ever, and this remaster is perfect. The big flaw with the original was the prehistoric control scheme (not really the game's fault), but that is now fixed to play like a modern FPS. The visuals still looked good on the Gamecube version, but now they look incredible!

This is Still my favourite Gamecube Game, it was absolutely perfect when it came out. Prime Echoes was also great, but I couldn’t get into Corruption due to the controls, hopefully they remake that 1 with regular controls.

I remember playing the first 3d metroid. It was spectacular. This new one proves the switch has a few tricks up its sleeve.

I only ever played a demo of the original game (many many years ago), and after watching many many reviews and comparison videos, etc I've decided to go ahead and grab the remaster. Looks great!

I wanna say my parents got me this for Christmas when I was twelve. I had only played Super Metroid at the time and Smash for 64 to get my Samus fix. The main menu screen music is somthing l listen to often it was the first thing I added to you list of music on KZfaq. It took me forever to beat but loved every minute of it. I still have the GameCube copy and can't wait to play the physical on the Switch. You share my thoughts pretty much 100%. I can't remember if you said how you played this but I also hope this would be a great game to play it detached joy-cons to add in that feel of Samus using that cannon. Thanks HPCG, the love you have for games is the top!

I like how they included the control scheme from the Wii Versions.

Never played a Prime game before, but man I'm glad I decided to buy this. The gameplay is an absolute blast and the graphics are simply mind blowing for the Switch. What a great game, and what a great remaster!

I wanted to purchase the remaster this morning, went to look at the Nintendo store page, I was thinking in my head "wooh here we go 60 dollars for this light remaster with a new control scheme" then I get to the page and I see that sweet beautiful 39.99. I'm so glad Nintendo came to their senses and priced this appropriately, and this will also help more correctly reflect the existing market for a new Metroid prime, I think this will secure a good future for Metroid fans, I have never been able to look forward to the future of Metroid until these last few years, and it's paying off.

I’m surprised that despite how many times I replayed this game back in the day, the opening sequence still had me on the edge of my seat. I’m also so excited to get to Phendrana Drifts. The music there is amazing

Metroid Prime is one of my favorite games. I have 4 different versions of it (The NTSC and PAL versions for the GameCube, the Trilogy version and the Japanese Wii version), and soon 5, when the physical release of the remaster arrives. I'm happy for all the new fans that they get to experience this game. It looks gorgeous.

I loved Metroid Prime back then and still do now. I think Metroid transitioned well into 3D and in first person.

I remember picking up my copy, it was a rainy day. There was a line in the mall, several people ahead of me. I did not mind waiting. Thankfully I had it pre-ordered ahead of time. Excited. I finally got my copy, started it up. The rain was still pouring outside. Prime on the GameCube was the most intense rollercoaster ride. The music, controls, visuals, and atmosphere were just perfect. Exploration, flow, and feel. It was a masterpiece. I cannot wait to dive into the Remaster. I have it pre-ordered, just waiting for the date to pickup my copy

It is a shame they didn't find a way to add Kraid back into the game. He was originally planned to be the big boss in Magmoor Caverns. He was going to have the top half of his head replaced by some mechanical dome housing his brain (Samus blew the top of his head off in Super Metroid) and the fight was planned to involve freezing his projectiles and climbing up to his head to smash the dome and destroy his brain. Apparently the controls were unable to facilitate all the stuff you would have needed to juggle around with to fight while platforming around frozen platforms and they ran out of time while trying to get it all to work. In the end he was just dropped and, I think, was replaced with the big control tower with all the auto-turrets around it instead.
