About This Item

Get behind the visor of intergalactic bounty hunter Samus Aran in her critically-acclaimed first-person adventure Step into the boots of Samus Aran as you navigate the winding paths and interconnected environments of an alluring-yet-dangerous alien planet. Use powers like the iconic Morph Ball and Grapple Beam to revisit hard-to-reach areas and find a path forward. With revamped graphics, sound, unlockable art, and updated control schemes, Samus’ 3D platforming debut has reached greater heights. Calm and capable, Samus takes on this solo mission…but she is far from alone. Explore the alien environments and eerie isolation of planet Tallon IV. Journey through the diverse biomes of planet Tallon IV as you uncover the Space Pirates’ sinister experiments and gather information about the toxic substance that left the planet in ruin. Blast forward to your next objective or take time to stop and scan your surroundings and delve into the creatures and culture of Tallon IV. From the quiet stillness of the snowy Phendrana Drifts to the magma geysers of Magmoor Caverns, this alien planet introduces beautifully harsh landscapes and labyrinths. Upgrade your arsenal to take on extraterrestrial terrors. Use Samus’ Arm Cannon and go head-to-head against otherworldly creatures, bolstered Space Pirates, and Ridley, revived with cybernetic and genetic enhancements. Backtrack through areas and pay close attention to your environment to solve puzzles and get more upgrades. You’ll need the help of abilities like the Ice Beam, Missiles, and several visors to dispatch the alien threats lurking on Tallon IV.

    Metroid Prime Remastered review

    Great game...you can count me as someone who believed Metroid should always be a 2D platformer...realized how wrong I was now that I have played this...Never played any Metroid Prime games until this...the updated controls make it a joy to play...very happy with this purchase!

    An incredible remaster and hopefully more to come

    The Metroid franchise has always been very near and dear to my heart and the prime trilogy is no exception. A refined Metroid gaming experience bringing Samus to the big screen was always a gem of the earlier years of modern gaming and entertainment. The Metroid prime series always stood out amongst its peers especially when it came to Nintendo titles which it did tend to stray from what they were more well known for. What you get here is a beautiful remaster that really shows that the switch is capable of handling titles at a higher degree when it is given the proper care and attention and Metroid Prime's remaster is just that. A beautifully handled remaster that brings the most out of the switch and also brings an older title back from the GameCube days up to modern standards and really shows what it is physically capable of doing. I only hope that moving forward they give the sequels equal amount of attention and love on the switch too but don't neglect the original switch as well as it can still handle some of those titles brought up to modern specifications.
