Customer Ratings & Reviews

I played this game when it was first released on GameCube. It’s absolutely stunning to see and play on the switch. The gameplay is just as fun, if not more, than it was all those years ago. The remaster is definitely worth checking out if your a Samus Aran fan as it sticks with the tried and true Metroid formula. The maps are vast, the colors are richer, and the fights are more explosive. This game is simply amazing and a must play if you are a fan of the series.

Before Metroid Prime 4 comes out I decided to replay the original Metroid Prime. Now Remastered, this game has not aged a day and is still one of the best single player FPS games ever released.

Metroid Prime is by far one of my favorite games of all time and the original still holds up to this day. The remastered version makes its already good visuals and turns it into one of the best looking switch games out right now, making it feel like a fully modern title. Especially with the updated control scheme. If you have the chance to play it, try it out. This game is fantastic and deserves all the praise it gets, especially for it's price.

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

Excellent remaster. Played n beat original on GC and this remaster is vastly improved in gfx. Very good remaster and its worth the 40 dollars msrp

Having played the original over a decade ago, this is definitely an amazing remaster. This is how games should be remastered. This is no simple upscale. Visuals have been tweaked to make everything look stunning on the Nintendo Switch at a constant 60 fps (with very rare stutters). I believe this is the definitive version that people should pick up if it is their first entry into the Metroid Prime series.

With new dual-stick controls, gyro support, and remastered assets and lighting, this is the definitive way to play Metroid Prime. This exploration shooter "first person adventure" redefined not just console FPS games, but influence future FPS level designs for games such as DOOM 2016 and PREY (2017). At its original MSRP of $40, it's quite a steal.

Game is a masterpiece ! Graphics are top notch and I feel like I'm a kid again getting to replay this. This is a perfect remaster !

I bought this on the GameCube when it was released and even then I thought it was a masterpiece. Visuals are improved in this version and the game is even more amazing. Motion controls are awesome and even if you don't use those there are multiple control setups. A must have game for anyone interested in FPS.

Still the same classic game, with completely rebuilt visuals, with minimal quality of life changes and control updates! If you haven't experienced this classic, definitely pick it up! Or if you have, play it again! 9/10

Amazing remake! Visuals have been massively improved, new control options, cheaper than most other remakes and remasters these days. Fingers crossed they'll drop the other 2 games in the future AND ACTUALLY SHOW US SOMETHING ABOUT METROID PRIME 4. At the time of this review, it has been just over 6 years since the announcement of Prime 4

Every time I experience a Retro Studios game, I'm in awe. This remaster turned a classic into a modern spectacle. They fixed the twin-stick aiming and they gave the graphics a major overhaul. The fact that this runs at 60 fps on a base Switch with very few hiccups is amazing.

This game blows my mind with how different it looks. The graphics are scaled up and look fantastic. I would call this a remake and not a remaster because some parts of the world look different then the original. It is a great game. One of the best Gamecube games ever made. Great soundtrack.

Engaging traversal, scale of world, you feel every equipment upgrade change the way you play. Quality of life updates and upgraded visuals make this a must play for switch owners.

I remember playing this game when I was a little kid on the Nintendo Gamecube, and to think they revamped the graphics and controls to help fit the Nintendo Switch like how you could play it on either Nintendo Gamecube or Nintendo Wii makes me so nostalgic. The graphics are a step up from back on the Gamecube.

Way above and beyond what anyone could expect from a remaster. Perfect 60 fps, new textures and models, tons of options, complete on cart version 1.0. Pretty much the gold standard for remasters. And of course the game is a masterpiece.

Played this game in childhood and getting to play again is a treat. A very beginner friendly entry too.

Fantastic game, looks amazing. I had the original Prime on the GameCube and this version is simply gorgeous. Big thanks to Nintendo for not price-gouging on this game, too. $40 is certainly reasonable, and kinda takes the burn off their newer high-priced (yet must have) game that just came out.

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.

One of my top 5 games of all time and this is by far the best version. Easy recommendation for any fps adventure fan.
