We'll worth the $40. Metroid Prime managed to perfect the transition from 2D to 3D for Metroid games, on the first attempt. It was a great game 20 years ago and still is. This version is more than a coat of paint. It's a completely updated version for modern GPUs and dual stick controllers.

I really like a llt the meteoid games, this was not the exception, is a very good one

In short, this is a gold standard of how to do a remaster. Upgraded textures, audio, controls, added bonus items in the menu. Game runs great. They did add another difficulty, hard is still behind a completion, and they reduced the difficulty of normal a little bit.

This is no cash grab — this remastered game is great with upgraded visuals (over Gamecube and Wii versions). Also, the controls are improved and match modern standards. Don't pay scalper prices due to availability. This is not a limited edition and stock will be replenished.

I played the original on GameCube years ago and was looking forward to the updated graphics. I had a lot of fun playing the game and was pleased to see that they completely rebuilt the environments and textures and updated the controls for the Switch.

This is not an HD port, this is a complete remaster from the ground all the way up. Modern controls, beautiful visuals, do not pass on this game, specially if you never played any Metroid Prime.

A must-play on the switch. The updates and life improvements in this version make it the best version to play. The modern controls and graphic improvements make for a smooth 60ffs game play.

Metroid Prime is one of the definitive GameCube classics and is still widely cited and used as an influence in Adventure games today (Star Wars: Fallen Order for example). This Remaster has set the bar for remasters. It is 60FPS in both docked and handheld mode. The lighting quality is amazing, shadows are also incorporated to a level that looks next-gen for a remaster. Music has been remastered and didn't do the typical 'just make it louder' like a lot of remasters these days are guilty of. Gameplay has had a ton of quality of life features added such as the ability to move and shoot at the same time, which makes Prime feel fresh, even for it being over 20 years old. I have bought Prime on each platform it has released on (GC, Wii, Switch) and will definitely say if you own a Switch you absolutely need to own this game.

A remaster of one of the best games ever made and one of the best looking Switch games ever made. It would have been nice if they had done some QoL things but it is still one of the best games ever made.

Metroid Prime was and has been my favorite Metroid game of all time. This remaster with the updated controls and graphics holds up as well as it did over 20 years ago. If you haven’t played this game, then buy it as soon as you can! It won’t disappoint.

I haven't played this since its Game Cube days. I must say Nintendo have outdone themselves. The updated graphics and control schemes are stellar. I truly hope Nintendo does the same with the other 2 Prime games. Fantastic job Nintendo!!!!

Its always hard to gauge whether a remaster will be worth it, however in this case, it is! This is 100% the same Metroid Prime you know and loved on the Gamecube. Yes it was available in widescreen on the Wii with barely any visual updates (and annoying motion controls) - but this is the "Prime" version of the game. The visuals/textures have been completely redone in HD and look gorgeous - especially if you play on TV on an OLED Switch. Playability in handheld mode is a breeze. The game itself - as fun as ever - now we just need Nintendo to remaster the other two in the trilogy... 10/10 worth it if you played it in the past. 8/10 if you like Metroid and haven't played it before. It is still the same game form 20 years ago - so the controls and movement can feel dated to younger or unaware players.

Fantastic game, made much better by the updated graphics and control scheme. Also, the 3D metroidvania style gameplay works really well as the sort of game you’d pick up and play on the couch, which is a great added bonus.

First time player of this game and was blown away how a 20 plus year old game is better than stuff coming out now

The game transitioned to 3-D originally in 2003. Remaster has updated controls for dual stick it works really well and you still have the lock on button from the original gate.  this game is still a lot of fun to play and still great.

I love they made this game available in physical form vs digital only. The game looks great, beautifully remastered. Controls are smooth and gameplay is awesome! I highly recommend! (Even if this is your first Metroid experience)

The Metroid Prime remaster makes for a great time. With updated controls and graphics it is an amazing play. Whether you’re returning or playing for the first time you are in for a great time!

Best game on GameCube, is back. I thought that the pointer controls would be best ala the Wii Trilogy, but no, I think the dual-stick + a little bit of motion was the best control. Runs great. Wish it was longer.

Metroid prime remastered was great fun. I never olayed the original release and kept coming back to this until I finished the game

Incredible that this game is 20 years old, with just a graphics redo and modern controls it became one of the best games on Switch. Whether you've played the original or not, new to Metroid or not, it's worth playing.
