I was expecting this game to be a similar remaster to what Zelda Skyward Sword was. Higher res and upscaled textures but not much else (and 60 bucks), but man they really went all out. This would definitely pass for a modern game and the visuals look like some of the best on the console.

Lol same it was a favorite for me until I lost my disk in hs, I replayed Prime 2 much more since then. Ive been loving playing this remaster with no hints, I got lost after getting the spider ball and wandered around for a while and got a bunch of missile tanks, and I eventually found where to go but playing without hints is great for the ambiance if you're not impatient to progress

This game was the reason I bought a Gamecube back in the day

I started playing this yesterday and I can't get enough of it. I have no problem at all calling this the new definitive version of _Metroid Prime._ Everything from the lighting and particle effects to the rain on Samus' visor look absolutely gorgeous, and the gameplay and controls are really good for the most part. If _Metroid Prime 4_ has this kind of effort put into it, then the wait will have been worth it.

Metroid Prime is a certified classic!

Every time I watched an Elden Ring video of yours over the last few months, I got the nostalgic pang, hearing the Metroid Prime soundtrack in the back. Another stunning example of a game having a fantastic narrative while having nearly zero dialogue. So stoked Nintendo gave us this surprise gift.

Playing the remaster, it really is clear that so much love was put into it. Mad respect to everyone who worked on it, they did a phenomenal job and they should be proud.

Everyone needs to play this game. It's a timeless classic and a masterclass not only on how to bring a 2d franchise to the 3d realm but also on how to properly do a remake.

Masterpiece! And it's not just nostalgia talking - I got into the Metroid franchise in my mid-twenties about a decade ago - Metroid Prime stands tall as one of my favorite games of all time 🔥

Ahhhh bro I’m so happy for you that this dropped! I loved the first 3 metroids and GBA games, but never had a chance to try the prime series. I’m very excited to try this.

I was hoping so badly that the Prime 1 remaster would come with an online multiplayer mode similar to Echos but dumbed down seeing as there weren't as many suits and power ups. I would take a Prime 1 multiplayer- which would be insane to have with these graphics and modern online PvP. I would easily pay for like a $20 expansion if that was DLC...or they just remaster Prime 2 which I would 100% take too. I just wanted this remaster to have some sort of online feature.

@LeRoy Goldman Ehh I disagree since it'll feel tacked on just like Prime 2's multiplayer, it's fun for like half an hour but that's it, I'd rather they just concentrate on making the graphical changes, and even if the multiplayer component somehow was good, Nintendo's online functions are so unbelievably terrible thatbi still wouldn't play it, if I wanted to play something in multiplayer I'll just use another console.

Oh I already did. This will be my third time through the game. So happy they finally have normal controls. I got along with what Nintendo did on the gcN and Wii ok but dual stick is mine and most console players preferred play style for fps games It's so awesome that they did a true remaster of the game too not just made it 720p and calling it a day.

Trying to wait for physical! If I make it through the weekend it will be a miracle!

I bought the digital copy right away when it came online. My first run was 8:17 at 92%. And I can say, this game is perfect.

I'm getting the physical copy myself. This looks so beautiful.

What they did with this game just set the bar for what we are going to experience with Metroid Prime 4.

Definitely checking this one out. I played the original Metroid release on Nintendo when I was 7-8 years old and played every one since. Definitely not missing out on this one, glad it turned out to be so well polished.

Yep, 21 years later, it's the sound design and score that have stuck with me. Amazing way to create atmosphere!

I am sooo stoked to play this again man. Great video, gave me the info I was looking for!

So glad you touched on the sound track. Over the years I have repeatedly went to KZread and listened to different tracks from this game, specifically the Phenadra Drifts area music. One of the most magical and immersive soundtracks to any game I have played. This remaster has be something I have longed for, for many years. I literally feel like a kid at Christmas. Big props Nintendo and Retro. Thank You

Another thing this remaster did well has the amount of options. Like with the controls, you can turn on and off the looking down when jumping. That was actually huge for me I hated that

Hell yeah, even though I have a Switch, I have never been too much into Nintendo's games (let's say, my enjoyment is much more mixed with the whole catalog), but Metroid Prime is the one thing I have been keeping an eye out for. I now have a Wii with GameCube compatibility, so I was kinda playing with the idea of getting the original ones, but decided to wait out for the looming Remaster/Remake (it kinda is a remake, it just doesn't revise the gameplay nor does it try to look mind-blowingly new and fresh, it simply looks like all the assets were remade). I'll wait out for the physical copy coming out in a few weeks

This game will always have a special place in my heart. It is a timeless masterpiece that has aged better than wine. I still listen to the OST from time to time in my car. This is the type of game you just never forget. Part of what got me into gaming in the first place when I was a kid.

Love the prime games. Prime 2 is also my favorite and favorite game of all time tied with bloodborne. I have noticed a lot more people are showing their love for it than back in the day. So I really hope we get the same treatment for the other two while we wait for prime four.

The only Metroid game I ever had the patience to play through was fusion, for the gba, but I definitely have been wanting to get into the series. You now have me fully convinced. Imma get this pretty soon 😊

I already bought. So excited to play it. It's downloading right now

I didn't get the chance to play Metroid back in the day, so this is the perfect chance to jump in and try it for the first time. Pretty excited

I've never played Prime. With how much people LOVE this game, I am quite hyped to play it for the first time.

Dude I really hope that Prime 2 and 3 release I'm buying the physical copy day one and considering buying more just to boost sales. There is literally nothing to complain about. The cheaper price, the better graphics, it's all so good.

I am so happy with this release. Prime is and will always be my favorite trilogy, it held such an important part of my youth and even now I revisit it regularly. Seeing Phendrana, my favorite area and music in Prime 1, remastered honenestly made feel a little emotional. I'm am loving replaying Prime in it's new beauty, it feels so fresh again.

So glad to see the support from the community even more so that M.Dread did so well and if this one does well too, that will help the upcoming M.4 and so on

Just started playing this. I have never played any Metroid prime game ever so I’m excited.

Metroid Prime is F amazing, but there is another game with this level of OST, the only i can put side to side, and it's called Unreal (1995). Like Metroid, the soundtrack is so atmospheric and precise to make you feel what is be in that world and to know the facets of the enviroment, that i can't imagine that game without the musics.

Phendrana drift OST is just top notch. And to this day, my favorite

I just about lost it when I saw this game during the Direct since the Metroid Prime games mean so much to me! When it comes to my history with the series, I first played this game back in 2010 when I was 7 and my parents got me the Metroid Prime Trilogy Collection on the Wii for Christmas I spent as much time as I possibly could for the next couple weeks playing all three games back-to-back whenever I had free time, these games had me in a chokehold. I'm a huge fan of anything Science Fiction, and Metroid Prime was basically my introduction to Sci-Fi as a genre of media alongside Halo and Star Wars. The series was also part of what made me a massive fan of First-Person Shooters too along with watching either my dad play Call Of Duty when I was a bit too young to be doing so lol, and playing Halo 2 and 3 alongside my cousin who owned an Xbox. Anyways (sorry for that little side story lol) I'm so happy this game can now be played whenever and wherever you want to on the Switch, it looks absolutely gorgeous to the point where I'd say its one of if not THE best looking game on the system, and runs incredibly well in both docked and handheld mode. THIS is probably one of the best remasters out there with how much care was put into this game, and this being without a doubt the definitive way to experience this masterpiece of a game

On my second playthrough as of right now. Gotta love the game. So good.

I was skeptical about a remaster because I didn't think they could recapture the beauty of the original on CRT. I was wrong. Retro reimagined the visuals for modern screens and it is just as breathtaking... And somehow they accomplished this on Switch... And it's $40

This especially hits home for me. My parents couldn’t afford a GameCube and the only person I knew who had it was my friend CJ. By the time I knew about Prime, he had sold it and I felt I was doomed to never enjoy this. Then all of a sudden, Nintendo busts down my door and throws this in my face. Worth every penny!!!

Holding off for the physical but DAMNNN I’m so excited! Such an awesome release

I'm waiting for the physical release, but I am definitely buying it! I also agree that the sequels need a remaster too. I've lost the ability to play the originals due to a house fire, and this gives me hope!

alrdy did yesterday and full in again. its really well done. i hope more cube games will follow.

I am going to get this but a physical copy. Loved dread and fusion can’t wait for to play this soon.

Bought it immediately. I have the Frigate ring tone so I have had this love affair since it's inception. When this game first released on Game cube it's as if they had time traveled to the future and brought it back in time. It was so ahead of it's time like Zelda Ocarina of Time when it released. Music has played a big part on Nintendo franchise too. That's equally part of the allure. Great reveal 👍

For a 20 year old game it really held up it looks almost new and feels great to play usually they do a horrible job at control adaptation but this isn't the case aside from having a perfect lay out they even left in the original GC and WII controls as an option they really went above and beyond with this remaster it's well worth the 40 to 60 bucks and that's coming from someone who only payed around 40 a game when the originals released

Im grabbing the physical release :D

Great video!!!

Way ahead of ya. Already bought it the moment it released.

Dual stick + gyro (enable in options) took a minute to dial in, but feels incredible and fresh!

The more people support these remakes, the more we will get in the future. This was certainly a pleasant surprise and hopefully an indicator that Nintendo is interested in rebooting their old games! I’d love to see a remake of Skies of Arcadia next!

Im buying this for sure. I played the original on dolphin 🐬 and it was incredible

I'm waiting until the 22nd because i want to encourage Nintendo to keep doing physical releases. But I'm freaking stoked!
