@TikTok User huh so that explains these comments, yhese are bots. It's only explanation for someone to make the ludicrous, that they themselves are better than Nintendo
It would have, if they streamlined the backtracking by adding one or two more elevators, added a autosave feature and fixed the search for the Chozo artifacts in the end. The rest is good. At least by Prime 3 they got all of those aspects right, so Prime 4 will probably build on top of that.
@@The_Ostrich Metroid Prime was better than Prime 3. The backtracking is essential to Metroid. Prime 2 made really good use of backtracking for some interesting encounters
@@The_Ostrich The whole point of a metroidvania is that there isn't auto and quicksaves. You have to plan your route and do a full journey from A to B. The chozo artifacts search is fine. It gives you literally all the clues you need simply by getting the scans.
Hard to buy when Nintendo didn't produce enough physical copies. Many of us prefer to buy all our games physical. Digital isn't an option for those building a physical collection.
@Lionheart They never announced it was limited, but they didn't even produce enough to fulfill initial pre-orders, let alone sufficiently stock store shelves or online retailers.

HUGE longtime Metroid fan here. This was an AMAZING remaster…completely preserved the look and feel of the original while updating and modernizing it accordingly. This is absolutely a standard for remastering games. Everything was how I remembered it, even though going back to the GameCube original, I realized just how much had been changed (for the better). Looking forward to Prime 4! (Please bring remasters of 2 & 3, as well! Simple ports just won’t do!)
Just beat it for first time can definitely understand the praise it got back then. really hoping we get 2 and 3 after hearing people say they’re just as good or even better.
Between Metroid Dread, Metroid Prime Remastered and the rest of the 2D games being made available on NSO it’s a great time to be a Metroid fan. I’m hoping Prime 2 & 3 get this type of remaster as well.
Anyone who questions just how good of a remaster this is know that they even cared enough about the BOX ART to give the physical copy a reversible cover with the american and Japanese covers so you can use whichever one you prefer. That shows the care they had for options and customisability if the control options and colour blind filters weren’t enough
I like how they showcased some of the things that tend to be harder to find/discern for new players. Like the [redacted] in the pillar at magmoor caverns
I really hope they confirm whether or not we’ll see remasters of the rest of the trilogy. Echoes was my favorite game in the series. Darker atmosphere.
For any wondering, yes this remaster is worth it… - Improved/Flexible Controls - Really good looking (Especially for being on switch) - Incredibly stable frame rate - all of this for $40
I'm so excited seeing a game from 20 years ago being re-released to universal acclaim. A whole new generation is getting to experience Metroid with the Prime Remaster and Dread. Seemingly, the only downside is not enough physical copies on shelves to met demand. Who'da thought Metroid would be selling out in stores? Happy for you Samus!!!
One of the best remaster ever made. The game is so gorgeous! Congratulations Retro! No matter how frustrating and lost I can get in it, at least I get to get lost in a beautifully realised world.
Awesome game! Physical copies have been sparse but luckily I was able to secure one from Amazon last night. It won’t be coming in until later on next week but once I’m able to play it, the wait will be worth it I’m sure!
@Matthew Crews I just went to another Walmart to pickup some water and was wanting to check and see and they had 4 copies at that one. I would go into Walmart and see. Especially if you have multiple walmarts around the area.
I do have to say this is basically one of the finest games ever made. This version that looks incredible and actually runs at a proper framerate on top of it. Oh I forgot, the surround soundtrack is fantastic as well.
I’ve never replayed a game as many times as I have Metroid Prime. It is absolutely my favorite game of all time, and seeing it remastered makes me so happy!
This game is where my love for Metroid began! I'm so happy to see it all remastered! It's so amazing! I really hope we'll get Metroid Prime 2: Echoes remastered next! 😍💖
I’ve already 100%ed this game in both normal and hard mode, it’s so much fun! Here’s hoping for Prime 2 and 3 Remastered at some point, as well as some news on Prime 4!
That's so great that the Metroid series is enterring a new golden age with Prime 4 on the horizon. If you never played the original Prime, please don't sleep on it.
This is one of the best examples and the gold standard of remastering a game, some company's release a collection with some visual updates and call it a HD or remaster collection, but Nintendo and Retro Studios went far and beyond to bring back a 20 year old game and made it look like its a modern game for the Switch along with multiple controls options to fit your play style. I really hope that Echos and Corruption get the same remastered treatment, that would be a amazing way to build up for Prime 4 along with wondering how the game will look after the release of the remasters.
Myself and a lot of other people online were coming up short with trying to find physical copies of the game being released yesterday here in the US. We want to see the Metroid franchise succeed as much as you guys and I hope that you’re putting faith in it succeeding as well by producing enough physical copies for people to buy.
Its so weird that this is a 20 year old game. One of my childhood favorties. This was the first first-person game I ever played. I found it so immersive back then, that I was too scared to continue once I got to the phazon mines.
Absolutely stunning remaster of one of the best games ever made.. Here's hoping they give Metroid Prime 2 Echoes and Metroid Prime 3 Corruption the same treatment.
Add checkpoints/ autosave like in Metroid Prime 3 and Metroid Dread, nobody likes to replay the last 30 minutes after he dies. Its a outdated design mechanic that adds nothing but frustration, not a good way to sell newcomers on the franchise.
I've tried and failed to get into Metroid in the past but I'm super glad this series has continued to get support since Samus Returns. And the fact that this is only $40 is very commendable
This is absolutely magnificent! I still can't believe after all these years of rumors about a supposed HD remaster, we actually have it now! Metroid Prime was in a class all it's own when it came out for the good ol' GameCube back in the day. It's so great to see it updated and released for the newer generation of gamers to experience as well as for us old school gamers to relive. The only thing I hope will be done for this remaster is that environmental lighting effects for energy based weapons be implemented. Hopefully they can do it in an update.
