For reference, this game takes place between Metroid 1/Zero Mission and Metroid 2/Samus Returns. Samus has encountered the Space Pirates on Zebes but has yet to visit the Metroid Homeworld of SR-388 and attempt to exterminate the species.

It's so surreal to see anyone who doesn't recognize Ridley on sight

Quinn: *sees standard enemy with no title or health bar* Also Quinn: “Is this a boss?”

Quin, if you wanna scan everything there are creatures you only get one chance to scan not including the bosses. You missed ram war wasps unfortunately

Quin I'm glad that you discovered the real joy of Metroid Prime: becoming the most efficient scanner in the galaxy

My favorite part of this game is the memo reminding the Space Pirates that they aren’t allowed to have pets. Also I love how the Space Pirate Logs show how quickly they go from seeing Samus as a nuisance to calling her “The Hunter” and taking drastic measures to stop her

The glowing walls in chozo ruins has lore to explain the story, scan it. Metroid prime is a lot like dark souls in that it tells the story via environments and optional text, but instead of items its with the scan logs. For the future, computers also have lore for space pirates.

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!! In other news, when I figured this was being released for the switch I immediately got it. The memories of watching my brother and dad play this still a happy one.

The more metroid games you play, the more you'll learn how important that giant dragon actually is. You'll catch on.

Fun fact: That big dragon at the start is Meta Ridley, a cyborg version of Ridley after Samus gravely wounded him in Metroid 1. He's also the space pirate general responsible for the death of Samus' parents

Imagine this from the Space Pirate's perspective. Your operation on Planet Zebes just fell to _The Hunter_ and during the attack you managed to board one of the only two ships that evacuated the planet. After it enters orbit around Talon IV you continue to conduct experiments on animals that you had captured on Zebes as well as those indigenous to Talon IV, only for a few experiments to go horribly wrong and wreak destruction upon the ship and death upon the crew. You manage to escape the initial carnage and, finding no escape pods remaining, set off the distress beacon in hopes that a nearby ship will assist you... before the escaped experiment crashes down on you from above and you and the rest of the crew barely manage to kill it. Then, as you lay injured among your dead and dying crewmates, the airlock finally opens, and in steps... _The Hunter._

Hey, so another lore detail, in case it helps, the dragon you saw at the beginning is a boss from the first Metroid game. The implication is that after Samus beat him up last time he got cyborg-d for your re-match. Also he killed Samus' parents. Twice.

The lore and creature scanning from Prime3 definitely shaped my interest in games (Subnautica in particular), I need to play this once it gets physical. Sometimes bosses can be re-scanned once they enter a new phase and enemies can be if they seem like a different version

I only got into this game after watching millions of videos about it, so it's a great experience to see someone else experience it for the first time. Also, tip: Those wall writings with shimmering veils in front of them can be scanned, and they give a lot of lore about the chozo ruins which should NOT be missed.

Metroid is back baby!

Quin, I love that you take the time to mention the flashing lights warnings for your videos. You are the best.

Quin’s excitement over Samus turning into a little ball is so pure. And 100% relatable. Coolest trick everrr. She’s like a roly poly.

Metroid Prime looks so good on the switch, definitely gonna check it out.

Ridley is to Samus as Bowser is to Mario and Ganon is to Link. Happy that you're looking forward to the next encounter with him, and don't be afraid to scan literally everything.

Let's go, Quin is playing one of my favorite games. I hope you love it as much as I do. One tip I would give to a first time player scan is the bosses/enemies it will tell you their weaknesses, which will be helpful for later bosses/enemies (also, there is a secret ending if you get 100%)

Omg I hope you make a full series out of this

I’m proud, also first koroks, then every single collectible challenge in existance and now scanning creatures

"I hope the boss takes advantage of this game's good movement." but then . . . "I have to be fast? Terrible news!" I like irony.

YES HE PLAYS IT! I beat this game several years back when they made the first 3 into a trilogy, but now it looks so good.

The cyborg space dragon is called Ridley. He ate Samus' parents and was rejected from the Smash roster for being too big twice.

Oh my god he doesn't know who Ridley is. This is gonna be a good series.

How is this just a remaster? It looks so fecking good!

Played the Prime games back in the day on the GameCube, loved them then and love them now. I'm so happy for you to experience the joy of this game in particular! Sorry to say though, you've already missed scanning some creatures. You need that to be like the first thing you do in a room, and scan bosses m u l t i p l e times because sometimes they change forms and if you don't scan them all you'll be missing an entry 🤦🏼‍♂️ it's tough but I learned the hard way what it feels like to miss a log entry over 20 years ago 😅

Nice to see you get the chance to play my favorite Metroid game. They did such an incredible job with this remaster. It has to be among the top 3 best looking Switch games ever.

If you decide to play more games in the series, expect your new dragon friend to show up. *A LOT*

Quin becoming an archeologist was not on my bingo card but here we are

OH MY GOSH YESSS ITS MY FAVORITE METROID GAME IM SO GLAD YOU’RE PLAYING IT

YEEEESSSSS!!! More Metroid! Would love this as a series.

Says he wants to scan them all. Misses a boss and the wasps. Oooof time to start over Quin.

Enjoy Metroid Prime! One of my favorites from the GameCube, I played the original SO MUCH.

This is easily one of my favorite games of all time. I love that you noticed the ability to shoot the asteroids in the first stage--that was in the original, too. The care for detail in Metroid Prime has, to my experience, only ever been matched by Red Dead Redemption 2. I'm sure more games deserve that credit--but Prime stands out for its time. I really hope you enjoy it.

Idk if you’ve always uploaded at this time and I’m just stupid or what but these getting posted right in my chill time before heading to work is an actual blessing big man. 🙏🏻 puts me in such a good mood before I have to deal with the job stresses. 😂 excited to see ya play this game!

I love how Quin gets excited about characters being able to go into a ball mode. I don't blame him though, they're friend shaped and adorable.. aka kirby

Soo glad you are playing this this is one of the greatest games ever made. They did a fantastic job with the remaster too.

Oh hell yeah I've been wanting this ever since the Dread playthrough.

Nintendo shadow dropping this remaster was a pretty genius move

YES. This is one of my all-time favorite games, and since you're my all-time favorite game content, this is gonna be one of my all-time favorite playthroughs. I think. Not good at math, but I'm pretty sure that's how it's gonna go down.

Just a friendly reminder that you are amazing and appreciated

Im so HAPPY. Metroid is one of my fav sagas (besides Zelda) and Im so glad I can watch you play Prime! You will love it for sure. PS: 100% in this game scanning its crazy, trust me huhu Have a great one Quin!!

Thank you for giving the flashing light warning. Not enough people do that. I got this on gamecube when it first came out. This was the game I realized I couldn't play fps games without getting motion sick lol. Even watching this video is getting me a bit

This game has some great music in it brings me back to when I was a youngin!

Here's the cliff note version of the story so far: -Samus leads happy life with parents in colony -Space Pirates attack and eat said parents -Samus gets adopted by Chozo -Samus gets genespliced, trained and given hyper advanced power armour -Samus becomes Gun for Hire for the Galactic Federation, mostly so she can keep hunting down the Space Pirates -also people keep trying to use Metroids as bio weapons, which almost always results in Samus having to swoop in and blow the planet up Also, ignore Other M.

LES GOOOO QUIN DOING MORE METROID

Oh, yesss. This was one of the best games on game cube, and mine was one of the voices that rose to vote for this, so I am very excited.

Got the notification on my way home and I was so hyped. Excited to see Quin play through it!

I started watching your channel through the dread series and I'm excited to see you play through my favourite metroid game!

Yay!!! So happy to see you playing this 😊

Oh, while you scan a creature, you can press A to read all about it right there and then. instead of going to the log book all the time. If at times you want to do that.

I’ve been having a bad morning but now my sadness is cured.

YES! HE PLAYED ANOTHER METROID! LETS GO! (Btw the whole trilogy is like 20 bucks on wii u)

I hope to see more of these!

YES YES YES BEST METROID GAME EVER MADE, havent played the remaster yet tho but i will before the next week ends!

Just for context, I think the Prime games play inbetween Metroid 1 and 2, so she's only really saved the Galaxy once by blowing up Zebes, but hasn't fully exterminated the Metroids yet. The flying Dragon is Ridley, the leader of the space pirates, which are an antagonistic force in the Metroid games, also, he's the guy that killed and consumed Samus's parents when she was a child. You "kill" Ridley in Metroid 1/ Zero Mission, but apparently he survived and came back with cybernetic enhancements. I didn't play Prime when it first came out, but I did eventually play the trilogy version when it came out on the Wii U virtual console. It's a great game, and I'm glad it's accessible for more people, now. I hope you enjoy it. Oh, and the Chozo are a bird-like humanoid species that was very advanced, but eventually vanished, and now nobody knows what happened to them. They are the ones who adopted Samus when her entire colony was destroyed by space pirates. They gave her some of their DNA, which is why she has superhuman capabilities, and then gave her her suit. Sorry, I'm just kinda updating this comment as questions come up in the video. Also, looking for the 12 artifacts is very much not optional and is eventually required to beat the game. Most of them are only accessible later on, though, I think.

This guy is living what I've been living almost 20 years of playing this masterpiece 😂

Quin: (*innocently jumping back and forth over a crate of Phazon*) I feel like I'm missing something important here...

Ooo, yes. Another one of my childhood games. I hope you scan the entry that details how the space pirates try to replicate Samus' morph ball 😂

Oh man I've been waiting for you to play metroid prime ever since metroid dread

Best entry in the franchise hands down. Always gets me motion sick though

It’s such a great feeling to finish all the homework and see that quin has a new video. Thanks quin! I love when u try older games

Quin, I am so so so happy you are doing this game! I am the biggest dumbest Metroid fan, and it is my favorite of the series by a fat mile. You are in for such a treat buddy.

I love this game so much, i was 11 when this came out on gamecube and i played the crap out of it. Im glad they remastered it so people who missed it on the previous systems can play it now. its crazy playing it now with dual stick control, on the gamecube you could only move with the left stick and the right stick (C stick) was used to change beams, so to look around you had to pull the trigger which didnt allow you to move at all. The dual stick control changes everything lol I wish the game was harder though, im about 3/4 the way through and havent had any risk of dying yet. Come on nintendo and redo the second one now.

Metroid Dread was how I found your channel, so it’s cool to see another Metroid game again. 😊

So stoked you're playing this! Easily my favorite Metroid game.

I know its remastered but WOW this game is amazing to look at

*Samus' arch-enemy appears, one of the most iconic villains in the series* Quin: who's in the ceiling?

I was hoping for this ! I love this game ! I played the original on release, I remember going to the store with my dad and he got both Fusion and Prime. I had never played a Metroid game before, but I got hooked instantly ! Man, the GameCube & GBA era was the best. Anyway, have fun with this, I’m looking forward to watching your playthrough ! Oh, unrelated, but are you considering playing Pikmin 4 on the channel ? I’m not sure if you’ve ever played Pikmin, but I really think you would love it. It’s the perfect balance between charming and terrifying !

I didn't necessarily played the OG Metroid when it first came out, the first time I played a Metroid game was probably when I was 10, I was finding portable DVD players when I bought one, the guy that was selling it to me wanted to give a disk with a bunch of games fit into a single disk (Mario, first Zelda, you name it) so I took it, couldn't clear a single classic game at the time lmao

The video hasn’t started yet, but I already know it’s going to be good.

6:00 Yeah Quin, Samus really likes chorizo so they're in a lot of the games.

I'm so hyped to play this game myself, awesome!

Well, timeline-wise, this is between the first and second Metroid games But also, I remember playing this on a real Gamecube as a kid and *_DANG,_*_ it looks so good!_

I played the absolute crap out of the original of this game in the Metroid Prime Trilogy version on the Wii, and I've recently completed a playthrough of the original version on Gamecube so seeing what they may have changed, or just seeing the game with updated graphics will be interesting. The Prime games are probably some of my favorite Nintendo games period so I can't wait to see you experience what I feel is my favorite one of the three! Happy hunting!

Man is always nice to see you come back to this game

What the hell!! I literally mentioned to my husband other day “I hope one day quin plays Metroid prime that would be so cool” and you post a video today. HOW DID YOU KNOW ?!? Amazing lol. Love it! My uncle who just passed away loved this game and brings back many memories ❤️❤️ can’t wait for more videos 😎

I was a whole 2 years old when the game came out I’m glad it got re released

I have watched two people play MP Remastered and for some reason, a gushing pit of green liquid 8:10 has called to both for them to go inside, even though the danger meter literally says no, hahahaha

Love this game. Hope to see the rest! Haven't gotten the remaster yet but I plan on it. Hope the others are in the pipeline as well.

QuinBoBin thank you I seen never gameplay for metroid yet it is like legend of Zelda

Quin's back at Metroid! nice. It's understandable that you don't recognize the dragon bud because the only Metroid game you've played before is literally one of the few in which he doesn't appear.

YES MORE METROID FROM QUIN

Some of the artifacts you can get early. You can get hints to where they are by scanning the totems at the Artifact Temple, in Tallon Overworld. The Artifacts are required for the end game stuff. Also this is the one time it is useful checking the log book, AFTER SCANNING THE TOTEMS, when you are for example in a different area, and you just quickly want to check where they could be.

The Prime trilogy, best games of my entire childhhod and shapes the games I like today, along with Zelda

Yippy more of Quin trying not to simp over Samus

Love your joy for scanning creatures Quin lol

How is it that you choose the best games to play?

I played it on the GameCube and Wii and I loved it!!!! I am so glad your playing this game

You know the kid that freaked out when he got the N64 for Christmas, that was me when I got this for Christmas when it released.

I got really excited seeing this game had a HD remaster, and I'm excited to see you play it! Used to, and still do, love this game! Ahaha Good job, goos shooting, and good scans! Glad you enjoy the game!

I still have to beat this game on the wii lol. Thxs for the vid Quin and wish everyone the best of luck!

I hope he plays more of this game

Hello quinbobin. I love your content ❤❤

Oh damn this brings back memories

The entire Prime series is self-contained in between the first and the second game.

I actually want try again 😅

Played it originally on the game cube, your video brought back so many memories 😁
