Just like all the other Nintendo games, the only reason to play it is nostalgia. If you never had N64 when you were kid they all fell like garbage(except maybe 2-3 games)
The unmatchable atmosphere, ethereal music that sounds like it was made by aliens, crazy and beautifully designed creatures, silent narrative that is so refreshing. This game throws you into an alien planet and doesn’t let go, a true timeless classic.
@@ChrizHawk90 why tho? ive played it on wii emulator in 2018 and was blown away first time playing it 16 years after its release, its very unique game and no one has ever tried since its release doing something similar
I'd say just one of the greatest FPS games of its generation. The bar has been raised since the PS2-GameCube era. There are so many modern FPS games with for example better shooting mechanics and stories.
For those who like adventure games and are not really into FPS game: don't sleep on this masterpiece. It's not a traditional FPS campaign, it's an adventure metroidvania game in first person view. It's a unique experience and one of the top games ever made.
who count Nintendo EVER out? its the best system to play games on, with best exclusives EVER. (Zelda, Mario, Pokemon etc.) plus JRPG and Indie paradise. FromSoftware games are missing but for that we have PC
Nintendo has consistently made the best games for decades now. Even when the Wii U console generation was not very popular, the actual software for it was incredible and we know this because all of that software sold well on Switch when it was ported. The last time Nintendo put a dud was probably Mario Sunshine, and even then Sunshine was better than many games released that year.
This is what a 10 is for a game. This game is simply perfection : gameplay, atmosphere, graphics, sound, music… And to still be one of the best game ever 2 decades later is nearly unheard of. Pick ANY from that era, they just don’t stand the rest of time ( even the incredible RE4 is dated in some aspects ).
The modern graphics complement the environments amazingly. Its unreal how much detail and lore is stuffed into every area and makes it actually feel like a real place with real a history and ecosystem.
@@XOB89 Oh yes! Absolutely! This is the difference between choice and variety, between difference and diversity. Give me four or five varied environments instead of many environments that are effectively all the same.
Honestly, the game looks beyond incredible for the Switch. The lighting, the textures and the models are leagues ahead of what the somewhat aging tech of the Switch is offering. Retro studios are wizards, genuinely looks like an early-mid PS4 game and the fact that it runs so WELL is amazing too.
@@gabrielanthony1129 almost every game was 60fps back then, but it changed completely in the next few generations, and only now getting back to 60 in the PS5 generation, the switch itself only has a few handlful 3D titles in locked 60fps. And even then you have things like cyberpunk struggling to even get 30 on 8th gen consoles and Gotham knights only doing 30 on next gen
You know a game is one of the best ever made when you can play it again for the 10th time and not only still find new things out about the world but also have it be as satisfying as it was on the first playthrough.
I’m incredibly jealous of anyone getting to experience this for the first time, let alone with enhanced graphics. The first run through of Metroid Prime is always the most memorable, but that takes nothing away from the infinite amount of play throughs that come after.
Better be a 10! One of the best games ever, with it's major flaw addressed. Also, the original still looks great for a 2002 game, but now it looks phenomenal
This is one of those games that feels timeless thanks to an incredible mix of art direction, sound design and gameplay. Even if you play the original, it's still a wonderful title that should be experienced.
There are very few developers that actually understand how to make a fun game. They dive into the experience you will have as a player in every room and every encounter. Most recent games bring the same look of that, but without actually designing an experience
The definitive version of a timeless classic. Metroid Prime continues to be one of my favorite games of all time even nearly 21 years after originally playing it Christmas Day 2002
Zero Mission introduced me to the series, Prime made me a full on Metroid Fan. That was a long time ago, I'm so glad to see how far the series has gone and more people playing the games.
Everyone’s talking about how: A.) the GC version still holds up 20 years later (despite the obvious control differences) both visually and gameplay-wise. B.) How ahead of its time Prime was for 2002, especially when it came to the HUD. (While Halo’s HUD was technically diegetic throughout the series, it didn’t include the bits of visible helmet until Halo 4, which came out a full decade later!) What astonishes me, in hindsight, is the pure witchcraft that Retro pulled to get Prime to fit on one tiny little disc. Prime 4 is gonna be a revelation, if it ever sees the light of day.
This was the perfect game for my 10 year old self back then. Just enough puzzles, just spooky enough, just enough action, it was great. Echoes was the perfect sequel.
Retro Studios and Iron Galaxy have done an outstanding job with the HD remastered Metroid Prime! 21 years later, it's *STILL* a definite must buy digitally and physically!
The greatest game ever made IMO. It's definitely a first person adventure game tho, yes there is shooting but that's like saying the 2d metroids are side scrolling shooters. There's more to it than that.
Playing the original when it first launched was an experience all to itself. This remaster just makes it even better. Super Metroid is my favorite game of all time, and Prime comes in a close second.
IMHO the control scheme to go for is Dual Stick and then enable Gyro Aiming manually. This lets you use the right stick to aim in broad strokes across a room, meanwhile the subtle motion of your wrist lets you dial in for more accurate shots.
It has one of the best soundtracks of all time and the sound design adds so much to the atmosphere. It's an amazing game and I'm glad more people can enjoy a true masterpiece.
Now is the best time to buy a Switch. This game alone is definitely a system seller AND tears of the kingdom which will be game of the year comes out in a couple of months
Metroid Prime is not only one of the best games ever made, it’s one of the most unique and distinctive games ever made. That’s why it has that certain special quality that keeps me coming back to it. It was miles ahead when it released and we’re simply rediscovering how far ahead it still is today.
Dang I’m 35 and still have a Gamecube with Metroid Prime. I’m not a gamer but have kept it for the memories. This might make me buy a switch and get this update version! It looks great!
Having recently completed it, it's incredible. It feels completely reborn in all the best ways and it took one of the greatest games of all time and made it even more polished, smooth, and the level of environmental and creature detail is simply stunning and beautiful to get lost in. I'm so thankful to experience my favorite game of all time again like the first time.
never heard anyone claim it's a first person puzzle game but both Nintendo and Retro Studios referred to it as first person adventure game anyway, in many ways the best game ever made
I've been a Metroid fan since the original on NES. I thought Super Metroid was a game changer, Metroid Prime gave it new life as a FPS. If you are watching this and don't have the game, go buy it immediately!!!! Worth every damn dollar!
Unless Sony shadow drops a Bloodborne remaster, I’m going to go ahead and say that this is up there as one of the greatest surprises in gaming history.
Metroid has been giving massive surprises lately. First the 15 year old rumored Dread suddenly getting announced and now this universally acclaimed classic being remastered and shadow-dropped.
@@ExtremeAce You could practically hear peoples' heads explode at that announcement. Everyone was expecting Advance Wars to be shadow dropped, but Nintendo's all, "GOTCHA!"
@@sean7332 It absolutely holds up. Here’s the thing though: it’s NOT a first person SHOOTER. This is not Doom, it’s NOT a game designed for you to constantly be shooting enemy waves of alien enemies. This is a first person EXPLORATION game. The game is so unique because of the atmosphere. You’re isolated and alone on this planet. It’s a very creepy ambience. It’s a classic example of “less is more”. It’s nothing less than a masterpiece
@@02valdo73 2023 games are garbage. It's much better than the same regurgitated watered down experiences made to appeal to mainstream audiences today. This was a Metroid designed at a time that appealing to such a wide variety of gamers wasn't a thing. Most people played most things back then. It was crafted expertly and there is not metroidvania that comes close.
The visuals are absolutely stunning for Nintendo switch. It’s seriously impressive how they achieved this. Some of the lighting and effects looks like a ps4 or ps5 game. Absolutely amazing
Prime is an absolute masterpiece, there aren’t many games that make you stop and take in the environment and atmosphere, prime does it and does it a lot. Roll on the other 2 and Prime 4
Saw it played briefly when it 1st came out, and up until this video, the gameplay wasn't really speaking to me (Dread was more my style). Not sure what it is, but amped seeing the gameplay today, and the comments are glowing, so going to give it a go. We were spoiled back in the day with some games.
This review is the best one I've seem in a loooong time anywhere, the text and video talk to each other, shows all important things that makes Metroid Prime so GREAT. It's worth of the same score as Metroid Prime: 10!
Hearing Sam's voice on the review just makes you want to go and listen to the game scoop podcast. Super excited to finally be able to play this and not have to struggle with Wii controls (never had a GameCube) as I've always wanted to try the first person perspective for metroid. Just waiting on that physical release.
This game is honestly such genuine and heartfelt gift for Nintendo fans.
Just like all the other Nintendo games, the only reason to play it is nostalgia. If you never had N64 when you were kid they all fell like garbage(except maybe 2-3 games)

The modern graphics complement the environments amazingly. Its unreal how much detail and lore is stuffed into every area and makes it actually feel like a real place with real a history and ecosystem.
It also shines light on how a compact interesting world can be so much more interesting than a huge open world.
