Metroid Prime first came out on the GameCube and had a single-stick control scheme that has not aged well. Before I get into the options available in Remastered, here’s a quick history lesson ( which I got much deeper into last year). New fans will think I’m joking, but those who grew up on Prime know that nothing beats the Wiimote. Related: Metroid Dread Mastered The Illusion Of Exploration I was delighted to find that Retro Studios not only translated the Wii’s motion controls to the Switch version, but they feel damn amazing to boot. After the half-baked Skyward Sword port botched the motion controls, I was worried Metroid Prime would suffer the same fate. Metroid Prime Remastered is the definitive version of the game, but before it launched - in the (many) years where its existence was Nintendo’s worst kept secret - I didn’t think it would be. I haven’t been this impressed by a remaster since the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, and now have more confidence than ever that Metroid Prime 4 is in good hands.
The new lighting, character models, HUD effects, and animations work together to bring Samus and Tallon IV to life in a way I never could have dreamed of. Retro Studios was able to maintain the tone and atmosphere of the original while elevating almost every single technical and visual aspect of the game. I’m only a few hours into Metroid Prime Remastered, but I can confidently say it's one of the best remasters out there.
