Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is an amazing remaster. It has updated graphics that make samus' suit look realistic and the environment look more scenic and often times terrifying. I love the ability to use the classic control scheme for those who have the nintendo switch gamecube controller and want to play it just like it was intended and the pointer and dual stick schemes for those used to the wii and fps controls.

I never played Prime until the Wii Trilogy, and I was skeptical of this at first, however the dual stick controls and improved visuals and frame rate make this a true remaster. I was happy to see Nintendo drop a physical release too, and while I would have liked to see an upscaled version of 2 and 3 in here too, it's still a fantastic game on its own.

This game is a no brainer for me. I played it when it came out on the Gamecube back in the day, and loved it so much I had to double dip when it was released for the Wii years later. Yet, despite having played it multiple times before, as well as it's sequels, this game still continues to enthrall and amaze me. If you've never had the opportunity to play this amazing series, there's no better time to explore Tallon IV. If you're anything like me, you won't be dissappointed.

I hopped on this the minute I saw it available for order, it's nice to have an accessible version of the game on newer consoles. I was blown away with how good the game looked and how well the controls are. If you're looking for a great sci-fi adventure on the switch grab this game. It's definitely worth it to get an intro to the series, and apparently Prime 2 is coming soonish too, so there's no better time than now to get into the prime series.

This was already a great game and now it's remastered! Definitely pick this up if you can. Improved graphics and controls!

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.

Great remaster, the graphics look incredible especially when you have it on the go. The game has a great ambience overall and it really improves on the original title. I especially like the price of this game, rare for first party nintendo titles. Also the physical edition the box has another option for the cover which is great.

This game was purchased for a gift. My cousin is enjoying it, so it's good

While this game is not the greatest FPS I have ever played, it is definitely a title worth playing if you enjoy exploration and fast-paced combat. I do have my gripes with it, but most are only with optional objectives that are only needed for 100% completion. Easily worth the $40 price tag, though I will warn that if you do not enjoy 3D platforming in first-person, this game is probably not for you.

First time player of this game and was blown away how a 20 plus year old game is better than stuff coming out now

One of the greatest remasters of all time, Definitely make it a must play.

“Metroid Prime Remastered” is a good game. It opens well and has great atmosphere. This remaster overall enhances the visuals in a way that is faithful to the original. On the negative side, the remaster removes some minor visual effects like beams illuminating the environment. And like the original version, the game becomes increasingly tedious as it goes on. Regenerating enemies were my main annoyance, in addition to the infamous fetch quest at the end. It wouldn’t surprise me if most people don’t end up finishing the game for those reasons. All that said, “Metroid Prime Remastered” is a good game and I recommend it.

Great game. Highly recommended It’s been very fun to play and very well made

This has got to be the ultimate edition to Metroid Prime. I was impressed by reviews on line but once you put the controller in your hand and play this game you can tell it blows the original Gamecube game out of the water in terms of how good it looks and how well it runs. If you never played this before then make it a MUST for Switch owners. Im sure 2 and 3 are on their way.

Great game never played it until now and it blew me away

Give it a try, it is a very unique game that is not Mario for the 100th time. Nice art, perfect music, they added better controls for the game, way better and improved graphics, sadly, they took the beams enviroment lighting and some reflections but added a lot of quality in other little things. A true masterpiece for only $49.

This game is packed with fun and adventure. One of my favorite games on the Nintendo switch.

A remaster of one of the best games ever made and one of the best looking Switch games ever made. It would have been nice if they had done some QoL things but it is still one of the best games ever made.

As most of reviews say, this game is awesome, still the on the top 3 of the 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.
