    A Top-Tier Game Gets a Top-Tier Remaster

    Adored this game on the Prime Trilogy back in the day. Peak game design on display here. Have been waiting years since DKC:TF for Retro Studios to put something out. This is a perfect holdover for Prime 4. Retro proved that they still got it. Matches the original with visuals better than anything else on the platform. Nice in-game artwork, music, and 3D model bonuses. A variety of control options ranging from the original on GC, Wii-style motion controls, and modern two stick shotter controls. And to top it off, a $40 price tag. A must have for any Switch owner.

    Casual Gamer and Nostalgia at its Best!

    Metroid Prime Remastered is a phenomenal game with great gameplay, smooth controls, and stunning visuals. If you played the original Metroid Prime back in the Nintendo GameCube, this game will bring you right back to the nostalgia! Highly recommend to the casual gamer!

    A classic Metroid Prime revived to perfection

    As soon as I saw it I couldn't believe my very own eyes. Metroid prime remastered is an absolute masterpiece from the ground up and Retro Studios/Iron Galaxy did a magnificent job upscaling the graphics beyond my wildest expectations; though I do hope they add the fusion suits in future updates. Like the original GameCube version Prime remastered runs extraordinarily well on my switch console with zero issue. To those who have yet to experience this Metroid game, I only say this; it's most definitely a must play game & highly recommend it. As a fan of the original game, prime remastered is a well refined game & well worth every dollar spent.

    Remastered Metroid for the switch a must own!

    First time I played this update Metroid for Wii in 2009 and now in 2023 Remastered for the OLED Switch. The storytelling, design work, and gameplay are as good as anything else produced in the last five years. This reworking is a throwback platformer to the original and the perfect way for contemporary and returning players to enjoy Metroid Prime. Controls and camera are much improved but graphics aren’t as good for an OLED Or 4K TV. A lot of secrets to find for hours of gameplay and Easter eggs.

    It's Metroid Prime with a fresh coat of paint.

    It's Metroid Prime but nicer looking. If you're looking to relive a classic this could be for you. No modern quality of life features so hunt down those save points and get ready for tedious backtracking.
