Many also praise the game's performance and the price point. While some players found the difficulty and backtracking challenging, the positive feedback on the visual and gameplay enhancements outweighs these concerns.

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

    Love this remastered version on the Switch! Very nostalgic and brings back great memories playing this game on the game cube. Graphics are definitely an upgrade and the controls feel natural. Highly recommend!

    A classic reborn and remade into a truly beautiful game. This looks nothing like the remasters I've ever seen. This game runs perfectly, looks amazing, and is addicting. I highly recommend it.

    Played the original on the Gamecube; it’s wonderful to see this game get visually updated as it looks so much cooler. Updated controls help tremendously and gives a better playing experience.

    This is one of the best games to be released on the GameCube and this remaster makes it even better. Dual stick controls, HD graphics, and Samus Aran makes it a must buy. Just buy it, digitally or physically.

    If you like metroid prime you’ll like this, if you’ve never played one it’s like the 2d metroids but first person. Pretty solid remaster, would recommend.

    An absolute stunner of a remaster from the original. Controls are unique to Switch if you choose, new gameplay tweaks and so gorgeous to play compared to the original. If you can find it in stock…buy.

    A beautiful remastering of prime. This is a must have for any Metroid fan alone and for anyone who owns a switch. Get the physical over the digital imo.

    My first 1st person Metroid experience remastered

    I bought the original Metroid Prime on the Gamecube at release and loved everything about it. If you came off of the 2D games at the time, the 3D exploration and lore scanning added a great depth to Metroid universe. This game is all of the original nicely remastered (feels more like a remake). Probably best played on the OLED model because there are some dark areas which will benefit from the high contrast. The controls are thankfully refined to modern standards, though almost to the point where the game feels easy because of it.
