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.

I haven't played this since its Game Cube days. I must say Nintendo have outdone themselves. The updated graphics and control schemes are stellar. I truly hope Nintendo does the same with the other 2 Prime games. Fantastic job Nintendo!!!!

Metroid Prime was and has been my favorite Metroid game of all time. This remaster with the updated controls and graphics holds up as well as it did over 20 years ago. If you haven’t played this game, then buy it as soon as you can! It won’t disappoint.

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

This game is excellent on Switch 1, if only we got 2 and 3

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.

Fantastic game, made much better by the updated graphics and control scheme. Also, the 3D metroidvania style gameplay works really well as the sort of game you’d pick up and play on the couch, which is a great added bonus.

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!

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

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

The Metroid Prime remaster makes for a great time. With updated controls and graphics it is an amazing play. Whether you’re returning or playing for the first time you are in for a great time!

Gorgeous one to one remake of the original. Looks great, plays great and is a ton of fun.

Metroid Prime remastered is a great game with good graphics on the Switch. Old school gameplay with modern controls is also a nice touch.

The game transitioned to 3-D originally in 2003. Remaster has updated controls for dual stick it works really well and you still have the lock on button from the original gate.  this game is still a lot of fun to play and still great.

Prime was one of the best games for the Gamecube and I can not wait to play it with better visuals and tighter controls on the Switch!

Best game on GameCube, is back. I thought that the pointer controls would be best ala the Wii Trilogy, but no, I think the dual-stick + a little bit of motion was the best control. Runs great. Wish it was longer.

I love they made this game available in physical form vs digital only. The game looks great, beautifully remastered. Controls are smooth and gameplay is awesome! I highly recommend! (Even if this is your first Metroid experience)

Incredible that this game is 20 years old, with just a graphics redo and modern controls it became one of the best games on Switch. Whether you've played the original or not, new to Metroid or not, it's worth playing.

Arguably one one the best remasters of one of the greatest games ever made by nintendo. It feels like a whole new experience compared to the original. Many great control styles and beautiful graphics with a smooth 60 fps.

Metroid prime is absolute stunning on switch must play
