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.

    This game has excellently and faithfully been remastered. Reminds me of when I played it back on gamecube and wii.

    How a remaster should be done

    I was concerned when I finally heard that one of my favorite games ever made was getting a remaster for the Switch. The GameCube’s control scheme doesn’t translate well to a lot of modern games, but just a little while of playing the game has put my mind at ease. They did a great job working it up for the Switch. If you didn’t play this game when it originally released back in the day, you should absolutely give this one a shot.

    One of the best games all time for the Nintendo Switch. This Remastered Metroid game is an instant classic. I never got to play this on the Game Cube , so I was pretty excited to get it for the Switch. I like how you can customize the controls for a better gaming experience. Also the physical copy has a reversible cover which is a plus. If you can find the physcial copy, I would highly recommend to purcahse it, you won't be dissapointed !

    A classic for a portable console. The scam/resell culture on initial release was sad to see. Best Buy protection is a must need for all electronics If you follow my reviews, I’ll mention if I ever get a 400$ gift card. (Like the one they promise in the emails)

    The original Metroid Prime on the GameCube was the first game I got for that system and it is still considered one of my all-time favorite games. This remastered version transports me back to 2002 and is such a blast to play. From the gorgeous landscapes to the incredibly memorable score, this game hits every beat and was such a pleasant surprise when it was released. I can’t wait for Metroid Prime 2: Echoes! (Hopefully)

    Such a great and faithful remaster of a great game. I really loved that they gave hou the option to play this game in a more modern control scheme rather than the orginally gamecube control scheme. It allows you to experience it the same way you did on gamecub or to play it in a new way. On top of that, this is one of the best metriod games to exist. Totally worth playing it if you haven’t played it yet.
