Customer Ratings & Reviews

a Gamecube masterpiece is now a Switch masterpiece. first person adventure of a lone bounty hunter in space…this remastered is beautiful and gives you many controls to use even splatoon gyro aiming…I’m hoping they release Prime 2 and 3 the same way…its exciting to have a new generation experience this amazing game!

The best Metroid game in the history of gaming hands down.

I was there 20 ish years ago when Prime came out on gamecube. It was great then and its better now. In my opinion its the best looking switch game. The updates controlles are great and the option to play like it did on Gamecube is there if you want it. Grest overall package. Hope they do the same woth Prime 2 and 3

Metroid Prime is still one of the greatest single player games of all time. Updated graphics and controls make it even better. Looking forward to the remaster of Metroid Prime 2, but I wish Nintendo released the entire trilogy all at once (even though I'd skip Metroid Prime 3).

Such a wonderful game. Feels more like a remake since there are areas that feel made from the ground up. No regrets.

Easily one of the best games of all time. This remake, with its updated graphics, controls, and quality of life changes, puts it on a higher pedestal than the original GameCube release. The game is pure joy to play and you’ll get so enthralled by it it’ll be over before you know it.

Should be called a remake. These graphics are the best you will see on Switch. The updated controls and gyro add to the package as well… and all for $40? When is Nintendo ever this generous with pricing. You should have this game in your cart already and be checking out rather than reading this.

A 20-year old game now manages to feel almost brand-new. It's a landmark of how much more can be done on Switch, with stellar visuals and controls at a smooth 60fps. And even if you don't like the GameCube or Wii style controls, you can also play with dual-stick aiming and optional gyro assist.

An incredible return to one of the best games of all time, it's still the same game you know and love just the upgraded visuals enhance the experience even more, the best looking game on the switch. I hope and pray we get 2 and 3 remastered with this level of quality.

I really like the 3 different control schemes you can use, which pay homage to the gc and wii versions of the game. A well done remaster for switch that still plays at 60fps throughout

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.

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 very good remaster that runs at 60 FPS on the Switch and is one of the best looking Switch games.

This is a fantasic remaster that some would say borders on a remake. The visual overhaul is massive and it runs at a mostly locked 60fps. Makes some smart changes to the controls as well. If you liked the original this remaster is a no brainer at $40.

Great game, solid remaster, hours of play and replay opportunity. Definitely fun on the go.

This remaster is very well done! It really plays well with good performance on Switch and great visuals! I think its the definitive way to play the game!

A remaster of already a masterpiece of a title. If you never got to experience this on the original Nintendo Gamecube, do your self a favor and play this version since its now available for everyone to play once again!

A perfect remake of one of the Game cubes greatest games. Beautiful graphics and great controls. Nintendo hit a home run with this remake, and I can't with for Metroid Prime 4 .

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.
