Review: Metroid Prime Remastered - A Long-Awaited And Stunning Return Of A Legend | nintendolife

With Metroid Prime Remastered, the seemingly impossible has been achieved: a masterpiece has been made even better

This game looks and runs amazing on the Switch OLED. The extremely rare Nintendo remaster that is actually a graphical remake and is priced below standard MSRP.

Shadow dropping this after years of rumors sweetened the deal. Bought it immediately, played through the opening and it's clear even an hour in that they put effort into making this something special.

Really hope they do the other 2 as well. Would have been nice if they dropped all 3 at the same time. But maybe we'll see the next one in 3 or 4 months

[Tacoboto]

Me too. It's a hope though, even if they don't get the full treatment of this; I would especially like to give Corruption a fair playthrough with these controls

I'm not understanding why they broke the collection up when they released it on the WiiU already.

[Tacoboto]

The Trilogy was released on Wii with Prime 1 and 2 having some graphical downgrades even - most notably the arm cannon glow - to accommodate their added motion controls. There was no Wii U version or port, only Wii with all the motion controls and only the motion controls.

So this isn't broken out of that. This is a graphically refined remake, like Wind Waker HD, not a lazy up-res of the original like Skyward Sword HD or (worse) like the emulated Mario Sunshine.

Beat the original on GameCube 20yrs ago, I preordered the physical copy of the remaster, can't go digital with Metroid😆 I also played it on PC with Dolphin mapping keyboard/mouse and it's damn good that way. This will be the best version we get emulated on PC: https://www.youtube.com/wat...
Also the ROM is out as well, so the remastered version should look even better emulated on PC.

A remaster of a 20 year old shooter getting a perfect 10 in 2023 after decades in improvements in FPS games? Look at Atomic Heart so see what a 2023 FPS looks like before gushing over the enhanced visuals of this game.

One of the listed pros:

"Scanning the environment for information still feels fresh"

Nintendo pass strikes again.

it's one person's opinion. If this is a 6/10 game to you because it's 20 years old, then so be it. Remember, no random person on the internet can tell you if you enjoy a game or not.

I don't know why people get so upset over a favorable review for a Nintendo game.

And this comment is also one person's opinion. It's why these articles have comment sections beneath them.
