Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the significantly improved graphics, refined controls, and the overall quality of the remaster as major strengths of Metroid Prime Remastered. Many also praise the game's performance and the price point. While some players found the difficulty and backtracking challenging, the positive feedback on the visual and gameplay enhancements outweighs these concerns.

    Metriod is an outstanding IP and Nintendo nailed it on the remaster. The controls and graphics are on point and I recommend for any Metroid fan.

    A very well done remaster that reworked the visuals to give a very well updated presentation and dramatically improved the play experience with a vastly improved control scheme and QoL.

    One of the best games of its generation (if not of all time) is finally back on a modern platform, with modernized controls and gorgeous remastered graphics. And for only $40?! No brainer.

    If you played the original then you know how good Metroid prime was on gamecube. With the updated visuals this game is elevated. Recommend to play this again on switch. If you're new to the prime series of Metroid then prepare yourself. All the greatness of the 2d Metroid games is here. With a new threat that threaten the chozo and the corruption of the planet tallon lV Samus is now on a new mission to figure out what happened. Alot of the familiar power ups are here with a few new ones. The music, the gorgeous environments, the new enemies and the lore all come together for a fantastic game. Not just a must play for metroid fans but for every gamer.

    The game is incredible and it has the best visuals on Switch. If you have played this game before I still think you will love the visual change. Great price and a lot of fun.

    The first in a soon to be four-part epic spinoff series. Metroid Prime was one of the best GameCube titles back in the day, and now it's back in stunning HD with solid visuals and sound

    Better in every way than the nintendo gamecube version. The graphical upgrade is wonder, and the modern controls are a welcome. I dare you to find a better game for $40 on switch.
