Amazing game...great remaster.....................

Easily the best purchase I made for the Switch this year. I didn't think they'd do this classic Gamecube title the proper facelift - and aside from a few things here and there, at 60 FPS and the touched-up graphics, it all looks fantastic to watch all over again; it was like going through a time machine back to 2002.

I love every metroid and this one as well, buy it.

Having owned and enjoyed the GameCube version this is a fantastic remake. Graphics upgraded and modern play control with pro controller. I haven’t put this game down since picking it up. Worth every dollar at full price. It’s a must play to experience Metroid in 3d as all the others were side scrollers.

Full disclosure: I havent played this yet, though I did play some of the original back in the day on the GameCube but didnt love the puzzle and backtracking nature of it. The recent reviews sold me on picking up a copy, however, with how good it performs and looks on the system. I’m willing to give it another shot!

This remaster is polished and improved in general over the GameCube and Wii Editions of this game. Aside from graphical upgrades some of the enemies move in a more natural pattern as well as character movement. Great overall. And for those new to the Metroid series, this is a great place to start.

I great remaster to a great game. Graphics polished, more crisp, but otherwise the same game from my childhood.

Sleek visuals, tight controls—Prime is perfect again.

Metroid at its finest. Completely updated from the ground up for Switch. If you like first person experiences with an exploration element then you will enjoy this game. As you progress you find items to help you. Is it worth 40? I’d say yea. - a must have for an satisfying single player experience

Great remake, keeps the original mostly intact, with revamped controls.

Great remaster of one of the best shooters there is

Perhaps the best game of the GameCube/PS2/Xbox generation gets new life on Switch. If you missed this game the first time around, now is a great time to experience this amazing game. Really like the option for a more modern control scheme, but the classic controls are still offered as well.

Loved the game would recommend it to anyone who likes metroid games

Still can't believe they remastered this GameCube classic, and it wasn't a simple remaster they made quite a bit of changes under the hood. I hope they do the same with Metroid prime 2 and 3

Faithful remaster of one of the best Metroid games. Well worth the play and for anyone’s collection. Graphics and gameplay are great!

I had not played this title during the original launch on the Nintendo GameCube. Playing this title for the first time on the Nintendo Switch is a beautiful interaction. I love the puzzles and the need to unlock abilities in order to progress. First person shooter goodness and fun. A must buy!

Great gameplay like the original cube version. improved graphics. it really impressed me. i was playing the og prime a few months ago.. yes I do still have my old cube and game. maybe ill do a play-through on that as a real comparison. The bad...Every game has it... I do not like the controls vs GameCube. even in gamecube mode, it doesn't feel good. In switch mode, your fingers get confused sometimes. NO Fuzion suit connection bonus or Original Metroid. i been playing the game for 12-14 hours so far and i still hate most the controls. i am deducting 1 star because of the bad. Great game and a much-needed release but the controls suck in my opinion. i find it slower to react vs enemies

I have such fond memories of the GameCube original, and it's a game I have revisited many times. I was absolutely wowed by the attention to detail that Retro Studios brought to this "remaster" that should have more appropriately been titled Metroid Prime: Remade.

A perfect Re Master version of Prime 1… What more can I say. If you enjoyed playing back in the day your gonna love replaying in a more updated version.

Remember having a blast playing this game one the old NES so wanted to get the updated version for my son to play on the switch.
