Customer Ratings & Reviews

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).

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.

I love this game. It feels so good to play and looks incredible on the switch. They updated the controls and it is incredible to have dual stick controls in this game. I wish they could have included other games in the series but I am happy with the game we received.

Takes me back to my childhood, it plays better and looks better than ever

Metroid Prime was an amazing game back on the Gamecube and Wii, but now with even better controls and a VERY comprehensive graphical overhaul, it is better than ever. This is a MUST buy for fans and newcomers to the series alike. One of the best looking and playing Switch titles out there.

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.

Absolute blast to play if tou havent already do yourself a favkr and pick this up

This is not an HD port, this is a complete remaster from the ground all the way up. Modern controls, beautiful visuals, do not pass on this game, specially if you never played any Metroid Prime.

A must-play on the switch. The updates and life improvements in this version make it the best version to play. The modern controls and graphic improvements make for a smooth 60ffs game play.

Amazing game. Play seemless on the switch and switch 2

We'll worth the $40. Metroid Prime managed to perfect the transition from 2D to 3D for Metroid games, on the first attempt. It was a great game 20 years ago and still is. This version is more than a coat of paint. It's a completely updated version for modern GPUs and dual stick controllers.

In short, this is a gold standard of how to do a remaster. Upgraded textures, audio, controls, added bonus items in the menu. Game runs great. They did add another difficulty, hard is still behind a completion, and they reduced the difficulty of normal a little bit.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Blast to the past in HD. Remember getting this game as a kid for the GameCube, loved every minute of it. Now its in HD and portable!
