I played the original Metroid Prime but I was blown away with how Retro Studios and Nintendo remastered Metroid Prime. The graphics are very good. It’s definitely one of the best looking games on the Nintendo Switch. If you’re looking for a sci fi adventure game then you’ll love Metroid Prime. It’s pretty cheap too which is great if you’re tight on money.

Blown away by the attention to detail that was put into this remaster. If your a veteran to playing the original on GameCube it plays amazingly with options to change the controls to how it played on the GameCube or to how most FPS games are played now with dual sticks. To the new comers you’re in for a real treat. Remember to scan every area you’re in! Lots of cool things to learn and discover in the environments you explore!

In the depths of Gotham’s nights, there is a need for things that cut through the darkness, that bring a glimmer of light, a spark of entertainment, and a touch of nostalgia. ‘Metroid Prime Remastered – Nintendo Switch’ is such a beacon, casting its glow with admirable potency.
This remastered edition of a timeless classic proves that true quality never fades. It merely awaits the right moment to re-emerge, stronger, brighter, and more impressive than ever before. As Samus Aran traverses through alien landscapes, it’s akin to navigating the labyrinthine alleyways of Gotham, filled with danger and uncertainty, yet teeming with opportunity and adventure.
The graphic enhancement in this remastered version is a testament to the capabilities of modern technology, breathing new life into the classic game while maintaining its original spirit. Each detail, each movement, each challenge brought to life on the Nintendo Switch is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship that I, too, appreciate in my own arsenal.
The gameplay experience is fluid and immersive, providing a robust challenge that even a protector of Gotham can appreciate. The narrative unfolds with compelling gravity, pulling you in, much like the story of this city I guard.
‘Metroid Prime Remastered – Nintendo Switch’ is more than a game. It’s a journey, an adventure, a call to action that echoes through the silent nights of Gotham. I wholeheartedly recommend this triumph of a remastered classic. It’s a testament to what can be achieved when past meets future, when nostalgia meets innovation. It’s a game that deserves to be played, experienced, and celebrated.

This is such a great port of Metroid Prime to the Switch! The developers did a superb job.
Controls: It has a few control schemes but none of them have the same feel as the Gamecube controller, and you can’t freely assign buttons. You have to pick from some pre-defined templates. I use the Pro controller and I’d say it’s like 8/10ths as good of a feeling as it was on the GC controller back in the day.
I have heard that you can use an original GC controller through the Smash Bros. GC to Switch adapter, but while it works there’s some button (map button?) you can’t access. While hardly anyone will use this, I do wish the developers supported it.
Visuals: All the textures and models have been remade for the game and they look fantastic. It’s not like other cheap HD ports where they only updated parts of the game inconsistently. The game runs at 1080P at 60 FPS all the time.
There are a few visual effects which don’t look right, such as lava sticking to your visor when you jump out of a pool of lava. I don’t know if it’s an oversight but you do wonder how QA didn’t catch this. But I want to stress that like 99% of the game looks perfect, and it really is these minor edge cases where you sometimes see a little weirdness.
Sound: No changes to the audio or sound effects, they’re just as good as you remember it.
Difficulty: There’s a new casual game mode which so far feels a lot easier. While I loved the difficulty of the original game I felt it really spiked at the very end so it’s been nice to have an easier ride through this time. Of course you can pick the normal difficulty mode too if you want that classic challenge.
Overall: I bought the physical copy and am very happy with it. Amazon did a good job restocking this game after the initial wave of orders. I like that Nintendo made this game cheaper than most others because it is a port, and I really hope they release Metroid Prime 2 next because I’ll be first in line to buy it.
