@@domymbd its crazy we're getting these shadow drops that turn out to be amazing, and probably the best remakes/remasters in history (Metroid Prime, Dead Space, and Resident Evil 4) all in the same year.

The reason this game looks so good is because of its art direction. It was flawless when it came out and now with updated HD textures and models it can be appreciated much more.
I legitimately cried when this was announced during the direct. This is my favorite game of all time and the remaster blew away every expectation I had. I'm glad a new generation can experience this masterpiece.
I couldn't agree more. I love it as much as you do and it's those few people 25 and younger who will now be able to experience what a gem this game is cause they have Switch's now. So awesome! 👍
I'm definitely double dipping, I've never been so impressed with a remaster. The time put into it shows it was done with care, not just a cash grab. I hope this sells beyond expectations and sets a standard for remasters.
Just so everyone knows, you can have both dual stick and gyro. It's buried in the camera section of the controls menu in the game itself as opposed to the controls menu on the title screen. Not sure why they hid it there, but it's there if you want it.
I bought this game right after the direct and downloaded Gameboy and Gameboy Advance. Nintendo definitely got a win for this. We need Metroid Prime 2 and 3 Remaster now. Hoping it happens soon.
@@landrypierce9942 I really hope it does then Nintendo would finally have a first-person shooter first-party multiplayer game on switch hunters online was amazing back in the day

I once bought Eternal Darkness for literally three euro new. To say that game bombed is the understatement of the year. Chances of getting an HD version of ED is as good as zero.
I bought this and put a few hours into this game already. As someone who generally dislikes remasters, I am blown away so far. This captures what every remaster/remake should be. Controls, graphics, everything has been brought up to spec. They also managed to keep the heart and soul of the original intact. Playing this game puts me back on Tallon IV, and not some re-imagined or "improved" version that is nothing like the original. One of my few gripes with the original was the lag when loading new areas (there were delays in doors getting opened, long elevator load screens). Even that has been improved. I hope this does very well and Nintendo and other game companies take note.
@@Matanumi it was bad with the Gamecube games too, also it was kind of random. Sometimes accessing the same room from different doors would have varying loading times. My best guess is that the game had issues clearing the memory of the before last room to make space for the next one.
All fears I had of the switch holding back prime 4 are gone with the wind. Retro studios has me in awe at every turn with this remaster. I’m a huge Metroid fan and I could not be happier!
I really like Prime. It's one of my favourite games of all time. Echoes was really cool too. I hope you find the same enjoyment from them that I did :)
I’m so glad to see you just genuinely excited enough about this to just make the video you want to make. You’ve got this man, and we’ll be here for it!
For real, I can't believe the Switch is running this. At times it flat out looks like a current-gen game, all while running at a locked 60fps and 900p with anti-aliasing. This is hands down the best looking and most technically accomplished Nintendo game thus far.
Can't believe the switch can run it? Like really? The switch has been running some pretty impressive games. It's all about art direction and taking the time to develop the game for the switch
@@jbuggyps2 Bro this game goes far beyond that, all other impressive games have some compromise (resolution, framerate, graphics), but this game has none of that, while looking straight up like a PS4 game. I expected this quality on the next Switch, but definitely not on the current one.
I saw the announcement and bought it immediately. And I was absolutely stunned at how amazing it looks. Retro Studios went above and beyond to give this masterpiece the treatment it deserves. Easily one of my top 5 greatest games of all time!!! Everyone who loves video games needs to buy this. It’s a classic that needs to be enjoyed by everyone.
I just picked this up yesterday, and I am completely blown away. Same as 20 years ago. I've played a lot of remakes (including RE4), but this one feels a lot different. It's something special
I was not prepared lol, I can't believe how good it looks and runs on switch. I haven't played Metroid Prime 1 since when it first came out when I was a child and it's been so amazing to experience it again and I'm so happy other people get to experience it too! I hope we get Echoes and Corruption too cause I'm greedy. 😭
Agreed 100%. One of my favorite games. Ahead of it's time on Gamecube. Played it again on the Trilogy. Saw the Direct and was like, "I'm gonna get the physical." That thought didn't last long. Couldn't stop thinking about it and bought the digital last night. Pure joy and awe while playing it. I'm very happy they did this. Hoping for Remasters of 2 and 3 (3 moreso than 2) and super psyched for 4 (someday). Keep up the great content, brother!
After playing my all time favorite for a few hours I felt like crying of joy. I’m so happy to be able to play it again. Like you said: it’s gorgeous. The devs did a great job!
My expectations were bare minimum when I first heard the rumors about this remaster, but after watching the trailer and playing though the entire game, I’ve been blown away. I’ve noticed so many details that I never saw on the original even after playing the Prime games a dozen times. And I continue to be blown away at how a game this gorgeous can run on the Switch. I hope the rest of the industry takes notes, because *this* is how you do a remaster right. I really hope 2 and 3 get this same treatment, because those games deserve the same love this did. And if this is a taste of what Metroid Prime 4 will look like? We are in for a treat!
Nintendo is really good at making games that stay at a constant FPS. Playing Witcher 3 remake, and its always dipping way below 60fps. Prime Remastered never dips.
Couldn't be happier with how Metroid Prime remaster turned out. Makes me excited for Metroid Prime 4 if this is how they want to treat the franchise. Very exciting to think about.
@I Hate TMNT Shredder's Revenge well clearly you don't bc you spent 4 hours replying to every comment you know that just by commenting yt goes ohh he's commenting on this video alot he must love it let me recommend more like it even a dislike is good in there system because they want interaction not if you like it or not......lol congrats on successfully adding metroid to your recommended
I was blown away at the visuals of this remaster! MP was the very first Metroid game I ever played, so it has a special place in my heart. Just the opening notes of the music at the start menu had me whooshed back to 2002. This remaster is amazing. I couldn't wait for the physical copy so I purchased the digital...but I also prefer physical copies, so I will be buying the physical as well when it comes out, lol.
The physical copy sold out so I'm disappointed. I'm thinking of buying the digital and the physical when it's available xD Glad you got to play it again and relive your memory lol
Couldn’t agree with you more, RGT. This was a home run for price and quality. Really hoping it crushes some crazy sales so Nintendo does more like this. Absolute bang up job!
They didn't just redo the textures, this was a full rebuild from the ground up, new models, geometry, particle physics, everything, all while paying extreme care to maintaining the feel of the original.
As a diehard Metroid fan and a huge Prime fan, this remake has me impressed. They went through the trouble of making all new assets and models for the entire game, yet it’s still the same game at its core. It’s very nearly a remake(I consider it a remake more than a remaster). It’s also somehow one of the best looking games on the Switch, but I’m a few hours in and everything looks so gorgeous. Phendrana drifts is my favorite area, the snow crunches under Samus feet now. It’s worth $40 for sure.
What a fkn awesome remaster, this is a standard to what a remaster should be ! Retro studios put pure TLC into this amazing ! I hope everyone buys this
Even you saying they redid the textures and character models is an understatement, maps were redone, added more detail with extra design choices and everything!
It is simply one of best games ever made. Still. I recently played through it again on steam deck through Primehack after 20 years, and it was emotional. This game is timeless and still holds up. Better yet, it eclipses many, many modern games. Seeing this gorgeous remaster/remake makes me want to play it yet again. Never experienced this game? I envy you.
See, I’ve already preordered the physical but it’s not hitting the UK until 3rd March. I know that’s not all that long away but seeing everyone loving on it really makes me want to play it now 😩
I bought it immediately after the direct ended, and I enjoyed everything. It's what I put down Splatoon 3 to the side for this childhood game on my GameCube, which I still possess! First seeing it in the direct I was in tears of joy and called my brother to let him know this came out, 2023 is starting off amazing with remasters this year!
I got this the moment direct finished. I own the originals, and this is absolutely incredible. Best remaster I have ever seen. 60fps on switch looking like this? Insane.
The graphics from original has aged really fine after 20 years. This remaster just proved Retro Studios were wizards back in the day when developed the game.
I've always wanted to play the original and was shy of emulation since I have an insane habit of old school roms. I knew this game was a masterpiece and seeing it like this makes me know why.
I really want this game, but I'm holding out for the physical release. It looks so sick! Especially after Metroid: Dread converted me to a Metroid fan single handedly.
This games world captivated me so much, but I had no clue what I was in for. I didn’t understand what people love about Metroid so much. But Metroid Prime is one of the most unique and creative games I’ve ever played, the atmosphere, the music, and the godly satisfaction when progressing or figuring out a puzzle that at first seemed to have no solution. It’s really amazing, I’ve been playing through the remaster the last few days on my OLED, this is the first time a Switch game had Immersed me to this level, the first time a game looked good enough and performed perfectly to keep me immersed for the time I play it. Buttery Smooth 60 Frames and beautiful visuals on top of the captivating Tallon IV planet makes this game worth it for $40.
I remember getting the original on the GameCube for my bday a couple a weeks after release. Such an amazing game that I beat it twice within a month. I also have very fond memories of Metroid Prime 2, imo just as good but definitely took the difficulty up a notch. I hope we get a remaster of part 2 as well. I'll be buying the physical copy as I still own the original GameCube games. Also this remaster looks like one of the best looking games on Switch from a graphics standpoint.
I agree, this was probably one of the best Nintendo remakes in recent memory. It makes me hopeful for when/if they put out a Wind Waker Remake. I bought it instantly when it was announced digitally and I plan on getting a hard cover copy as well.
@@ReelFilm2016 lol I still think they’re remaking Wind Waker and/or Twilight Princess. I’d be very impressed with Nintendo if they shadow dropped them like Metroid during the next Direct if it’s centered around Zelda.
The reason Metroid Prime Remastered looks so good is because Retro Studios too the entire base game and rendered it in the same graphics engine they built and are using for Metroid Prime 4. The Engine basically redrew the entire game with updated textures, baked in lighting, some volumetrics, etc. It is more of a remake than it is a remaster because it was entirely rebuilt in a brand new graphics engine built by Retro Studios. If this game looks this good, imagine what MP4 is gonna look like 👀 😊
I absolutely loved this game growing up. When I saw it at Walmart after not even knowing it was remastered I instantly bought it. This definitely brought me back to this unbelievable game. A game that sets a standard on the amount of content should be in a story mode at launch.
This has to be the best and most impressive remaster/HD port ever put out by Nintendo. I haven't been this wowed by a game's graphics since playing Mario Kart 8 for the first time in 2015 or 16, and it's for a 2002 game! This is yet another major W for Metroid, and proves that Prime 4 is gonna look absolutely stunning when it finally comes out.
It's just so beautiful, it doesn't feel like a switch game, it just shows the switch at its highest and It just shows how much love retro has for the game. I love how they didn't just do a mario 3d all-stars and just simply port it
I think I only picked up my switch a couple of times since getting a steam deck. Metroid Prime has got me playing on my switch again. On an OLED screen whether docked or handheld the game looks incredible. I’ll double dip and get the physical copy as well.
It's beautifully done! They put so much work into the game. Honestly one of the best looking games on the Switch. I hope strong sales of Prime pushes Nintendo to do similar remasters of 2 and 3 (before a grand release of 4).
Im playing metroid prime for the first time ever on the switch and it already became one of my favorite games ever, the world building and the way the exploration goes just put me in a flow state, crazy stuff.
This game looks amazing. It looks like a borderline current gen game. It just makes it all the more frustrating since we know Nintendo can make amazing remasters like this
Just finished it, was great, the only thing I would have liked to see improved was the map, it would have been helpful if you could high light areas that you knew you had to go back too, quite a few times I was wandering around aimlessly trying to find a an area I could open up now but I couldn’t find it again for ages. If I could have changed the colour to that room so I knew I had to go back at some point it would have been a great help
These are the kind of videos that I come for every night, thanks rgt. I never played prime on GameCube but you’ve got me convinced I have to get it on switch.
This is a amazing shadow drop. Excited to download. The fact they are giving a duel stick scheme is great. The biggest issue I had with original was the controls always felt wrong wonky. I imagine the infuriating Ridley battle will be somewhat more manageable.
The 2D Metroid franchise is my all time favourite. I’ve been aching to play this one for the past 15 years or so (I was too broke to afford a Wii or WiiU) When I booted this up, I got legit emotional. The sights and sounds, through the eyes of my favourite character.. I can’t explain how powerful that feeling was. Oh and the game is a f*cking masterpiece. No bullsh*t handholding, no gimmicks, no expository dialogue. It’s just you and the world around you, with a story waiting to be investigated and discovered in your own pace. PLEASE Nintendo, give Retro all the resources they need to keep this incredible franchise going.
Yup, instantly downloaded as soon as I saw "Metroid Prime Remastered", didn't even look at the promo. Just logged in and downloaded. And I will also get the physical release when available. I'm playing docked on a 32" 2K LED and with Logitech X-540 5.1 speakers and Pro Controller, simply amazing!! Blown away when I entered Phendrana Drifts!! Love that a flick of the controller lets the Morph Ball hop, like on Wii. Makes the wall puzzles much easier than timing things with a bomb.
I'm probably the only old school gamer that hasn't played any of the Metroid Prime games, I'll be picking this one up and will experience it for the first time. Can't wait!
I'll admit that although I loved so many gamecube games back in the day, this game slipped thru the cracks and I only lightly ventured into it. I couldn't put Metroid dread down. So now imagine my reaction when they announced this remaster on the direct. I downloaded immediately and haven't looked back and about 4hrs in. I'm loving this remaster it's beautiful looking game and now can only fantasy of how Metroid 4 will look like. This is worth every penny
I'm honestly excited to get this remaster and finally beat it lol. I used to own the trilogy on the Wii but I never finished since it got annoying for me to aim with the controller after awhile. They had me sold with having actual inputs for current day controllers.
Personally, I prefered the Trilogy version but as the Switch's gyro controls are a little finicky. I think the reason why the gyro controls on the Switch aren't so great is that Metroid Prime Corruption and the Trilogy versions were released on the console that was built mainly around motion controls. I wish that other that the 4 specific controls you could customize the controls so that it'd fit more comortably as I keep mistaking the L button for the c button which on the Trilogy and Corruption version was to shift into Morph Ball mode. It'd be nice if the gyro controls stayed true to the Trilogy version. Other than that I'm super happy that Nintendo made a Remaster of Prime and although it's going to happen a remastered version of the second and third games would be incredible as seeing some of the bosses in Echos and Corruption would be excellent to see an updated model of them like Quadraxis, Emporer Ing phase 2, Omega Ridley, and AU 313.
If you're a Metroid fan or even a little bit Metroid-curious, this is absolutely a must buy. I really hope they're going to be giving us the whole trilogy before Prime 4. Metroid Prime was already a masterpiece, and they've basically perfected it.
Picked this up yrsterday and I'm very happy with it. It feels great, looks great and it's a next level remaster. From the cinematics, to the new textures, to the minute details, it's mind blowing!
The lighting in this game legit looks as good as some current gen games and it runs at 60fps and still looks sharp even on a big screen. Like seriously, if Prime 4 looks like this I'd be very happy.
I preordered the Physical Copy of this game so quickly. I can’t wait to try it out. The funny thing, I can tell, is that so many people are probably going to Double Dip and end up spending $80 for one game. And they won’t even complain about it. They’ll be happy to spend that much. Sure, it’s 2 copies, but it goes to show, if you put forth an incredible effort, people WILL toss money at you. They’ll applaud you with cash.
I have been studying for my board certification behavior analyst exam and it's funny that I watched this video and you have been using terms of reinforcement for Nintendo to keep their great behavior with their Metroid Prime Remaster going into the future. Your explanation was so natural and great. I am glad your doing better man and I hope your health keeps improving. I love the content and have been a subscriber for years. Thanks for the fun example of my studies in the real world.
I had no Idea this existed, I started watching TH-cam and Seen a Prime Remastered Commercial. I started to Flip out in the ohone with my Fiancé and I rushed for my switch. Seen the $40 and I bought this in a heart beat. One of my Childhood games I've been waiting to be put on switch. They did a glorious job and I appreciate what Nintendo and Retro did.
The crazy thing is that it ISN’T running at 720p on handheld. I think it probably might look better with the lower res and anti-aliasing. It just looks slick.
I already pre-ordered, I am so happy for things like this happening, Metroid Prime is an amazing game. I need to play it, I put so much self control not to buy it digital, I love the physical format. I only hope that Nintendo bring in the same way Metroid Prime 2 and 3
There was more than just upgrading the textures. Animations, Geometry, 3D engine, particles, textures, player & npc models were upgrade across the game to a greater or lesser extent. Everything was touched!
I never owned a GameCube. I would 1000% love to buy HD Remake/ Remasters of GameCube games on the Switch. Now if only GameFreak could do this kind of quality for their Pokemon games. They really have no excuse when Switch has better looking and running games and now Metroid Prime added to that list.
BUY THIS GAME SO THEY DO MORE STUFF LIKE THIS.

This game looks beautiful! I’m really hoping this is just the start of GameCube remasters. The GameCube had some amazing and underrated games.
Indeed, this takes me back.
Especially with the rapidly rising prices of originals in decent condition.

@@Ihatevideogames334 Now I'm kind of curious of how much time and energy you put into this
My expectations were bare minimum when I first heard the rumors about this remaster, but after watching the trailer and playing though the entire game, I’ve been blown away. I’ve noticed so many details that I never saw on the original even after playing the Prime games a dozen times. And I continue to be blown away at how a game this gorgeous can run on the Switch. I hope the rest of the industry takes notes, because *this* is how you do a remaster right. I really hope 2 and 3 get this same treatment, because those games deserve the same love this did. And if this is a taste of what Metroid Prime 4 will look like? We are in for a treat!
I totally agree with you dude. I bought and played it right after the Direct and was pretty blown away. Silky smooth.
Nintendo is really good at making games that stay at a constant FPS. Playing Witcher 3 remake, and its always dipping way below 60fps. Prime Remastered never dips.
@@Ihatevideogames334 you must really love Pokemon!!
Couldn't be happier with how Metroid Prime remaster turned out. Makes me excited for Metroid Prime 4 if this is how they want to treat the franchise. Very exciting to think about.
@I Hate TMNT Shredder's Revenge well clearly you don't bc you spent 4 hours replying to every comment you know that just by commenting yt goes ohh he's commenting on this video alot he must love it let me recommend more like it even a dislike is good in there system because they want interaction not if you like it or not......lol congrats on successfully adding metroid to your recommended
I hope it sells well too! So we can get the other two games.
I was blown away at the visuals of this remaster! MP was the very first Metroid game I ever played, so it has a special place in my heart. Just the opening notes of the music at the start menu had me whooshed back to 2002. This remaster is amazing. I couldn't wait for the physical copy so I purchased the digital...but I also prefer physical copies, so I will be buying the physical as well when it comes out, lol.
The physical copy sold out so I'm disappointed. I'm thinking of buying the digital and the physical when it's available xD
Glad you got to play it again and relive your memory lol
Couldn’t agree with you more, RGT. This was a home run for price and quality. Really hoping it crushes some crazy sales so Nintendo does more like this. Absolute bang up job!
I’m definitely double dipping!
@@bullet2800 same. Had to play it the second it went live, but it needs to be in the collection!
They didn't just redo the textures, this was a full rebuild from the ground up, new models, geometry, particle physics, everything, all while paying extreme care to maintaining the feel of the original.
As a diehard Metroid fan and a huge Prime fan, this remake has me impressed. They went through the trouble of making all new assets and models for the entire game, yet it’s still the same game at its core. It’s very nearly a remake(I consider it a remake more than a remaster).
It’s also somehow one of the best looking games on the Switch, but I’m a few hours in and everything looks so gorgeous. Phendrana drifts is my favorite area, the snow crunches under Samus feet now. It’s worth $40 for sure.
Agreed!
I love that they added a soundtrack extra to the unlockables! That second Phendrana theme is so good
I double dipped because I'm a Metroid addict. I'm loving playing this game and loving watching others play this game
Same, I just couldn't wait but I want that physical copy. If it helps in anyway to get 2 and 3 on the Switch then I'm happy to.
My favourite game ever.its amazing on the switch now
What a fkn awesome remaster, this is a standard to what a remaster should be ! Retro studios put pure TLC into this amazing ! I hope everyone buys this
Even you saying they redid the textures and character models is an understatement, maps were redone, added more detail with extra design choices and everything!
@@Ihatevideogames334 Lol ooooook
It is simply one of best games ever made. Still. I recently played through it again on steam deck through Primehack after 20 years, and it was emotional. This game is timeless and still holds up. Better yet, it eclipses many, many modern games. Seeing this gorgeous remaster/remake makes me want to play it yet again. Never experienced this game? I envy you.
See, I’ve already preordered the physical but it’s not hitting the UK until 3rd March. I know that’s not all that long away but seeing everyone loving on it really makes me want to play it now 😩
I bought it immediately after the direct ended, and I enjoyed everything. It's what I put down Splatoon 3 to the side for this childhood game on my GameCube, which I still possess! First seeing it in the direct I was in tears of joy and called my brother to let him know this came out, 2023 is starting off amazing with remasters this year!
Definitely gonna pick up a physical version of this game. Excited to play it for the first time!
@@Ihatevideogames334 It's kind of ironic that most people just ignore you though
Go take your hate some where else kid.
I got this the moment direct finished. I own the originals, and this is absolutely incredible. Best remaster I have ever seen. 60fps on switch looking like this? Insane.
The graphics from original has aged really fine after 20 years. This remaster just proved Retro Studios were wizards back in the day when developed the game.
This will be my first time playing Metroid prime. I feel a little spoiled
It’s definitely a remaster that is so good it almost feels like a Remake. So crisp.
I've always wanted to play the original and was shy of emulation since I have an insane habit of old school roms. I knew this game was a masterpiece and seeing it like this makes me know why.
@@Ihatevideogames334 k
I really want this game, but I'm holding out for the physical release. It looks so sick! Especially after Metroid: Dread converted me to a Metroid fan single handedly.
@loganbuternowsky: You won’t be disappointed! Game is good and top 5 in my all time list.
@@Ihatevideogames334 It's really just a strong word can you just dislike something a lot
I'm excited for you to experience metroid in 3d after appreciating its 2d roots first!
I literally fell to my knees and shed tears when they announced this. Thank you Nintendo
If only we could get Baten Kaitos remastered too … oh wait 😁
This games world captivated me so much, but I had no clue what I was in for. I didn’t understand what people love about Metroid so much. But Metroid Prime is one of the most unique and creative games I’ve ever played, the atmosphere, the music, and the godly satisfaction when progressing or figuring out a puzzle that at first seemed to have no solution. It’s really amazing, I’ve been playing through the remaster the last few days on my OLED, this is the first time a Switch game had Immersed me to this level, the first time a game looked good enough and performed perfectly to keep me immersed for the time I play it. Buttery Smooth 60 Frames and beautiful visuals on top of the captivating Tallon IV planet makes this game worth it for $40.
I was going to buy this game when the physical version releases, but now you got me excited for it!
I remember getting the original on the GameCube for my bday a couple a weeks after release. Such an amazing game that I beat it twice within a month. I also have very fond memories of Metroid Prime 2, imo just as good but definitely took the difficulty up a notch. I hope we get a remaster of part 2 as well. I'll be buying the physical copy as I still own the original GameCube games. Also this remaster looks like one of the best looking games on Switch from a graphics standpoint.
I agree, this was probably one of the best Nintendo remakes in recent memory. It makes me hopeful for when/if they put out a Wind Waker Remake. I bought it instantly when it was announced digitally and I plan on getting a hard cover copy as well.
I would prefer twilight Princess to get a proper remake.
@@ReelFilm2016 why not both? 😁
@@snap4936 Why not indeed. 🙂
@@ReelFilm2016 lol I still think they’re remaking Wind Waker and/or Twilight Princess. I’d be very impressed with Nintendo if they shadow dropped them like Metroid during the next Direct if it’s centered around Zelda.
@@RyanTheEatingwarrior we can hope.
I love how her reflection lights up whenever you shoot close to something. The cracks in the rocks!!! I swear it’s lumen and nanite.
We need an HD remaster of Ocarina of time! Then ill give them every dollar I have! But im also buying this, it looks fantastic!
They could just HD upscale the 3DS version and it would look gorgeous....
I hope they do both Echo's and Corruption as physical copies that would be awesome to collect.
I bought it the minute the listing came up
Well done bro we need more metroid
The reason Metroid Prime Remastered looks so good is because Retro Studios too the entire base game and rendered it in the same graphics engine they built and are using for Metroid Prime 4. The Engine basically redrew the entire game with updated textures, baked in lighting, some volumetrics, etc. It is more of a remake than it is a remaster because it was entirely rebuilt in a brand new graphics engine built by Retro Studios. If this game looks this good, imagine what MP4 is gonna look like 👀 😊
I’m certainly glad I preordered a physical copy (alongside the Zelda TOTK Collectors Edition) at my local GameStop!
Lucky I was at work couldn't preorder totk yet.
I absolutely loved this game growing up. When I saw it at Walmart after not even knowing it was remastered I instantly bought it. This definitely brought me back to this unbelievable game. A game that sets a standard on the amount of content should be in a story mode at launch.
This has to be the best and most impressive remaster/HD port ever put out by Nintendo. I haven't been this wowed by a game's graphics since playing Mario Kart 8 for the first time in 2015 or 16, and it's for a 2002 game! This is yet another major W for Metroid, and proves that Prime 4 is gonna look absolutely stunning when it finally comes out.
It's just so beautiful, it doesn't feel like a switch game, it just shows the switch at its highest and It just shows how much love retro has for the game. I love how they didn't just do a mario 3d all-stars and just simply port it
Waiting for the physical edition but definitely a Yes from me.. Good job!
I think I only picked up my switch a couple of times since getting a steam deck. Metroid Prime has got me playing on my switch again. On an OLED screen whether docked or handheld the game looks incredible.
I’ll double dip and get the physical copy as well.
It's beautifully done! They put so much work into the game. Honestly one of the best looking games on the Switch. I hope strong sales of Prime pushes Nintendo to do similar remasters of 2 and 3 (before a grand release of 4).
Im playing metroid prime for the first time ever on the switch and it already became one of my favorite games ever, the world building and the way the exploration goes just put me in a flow state, crazy stuff.
This is the greatest remaster Nintendo has ever made.
This game looks amazing. It looks like a borderline current gen game. It just makes it all the more frustrating since we know Nintendo can make amazing remasters like this
Just finished it, was great, the only thing I would have liked to see improved was the map, it would have been helpful if you could high light areas that you knew you had to go back too, quite a few times I was wandering around aimlessly trying to find a an area I could open up now but I couldn’t find it again for ages. If I could have changed the colour to that room so I knew I had to go back at some point it would have been a great help
Some kind of marking system for the map would be insanely useful and I hope they do that for Metroid prime 4
These are the kind of videos that I come for every night, thanks rgt. I never played prime on GameCube but you’ve got me convinced I have to get it on switch.
This is a amazing shadow drop. Excited to download. The fact they are giving a duel stick scheme is great. The biggest issue I had with original was the controls always felt wrong wonky. I imagine the infuriating Ridley battle will be somewhat more manageable.
Meh, they should have just ported the trilogy and upscale them to 1080p instead of remaking only Prime 1.
The 2D Metroid franchise is my all time favourite.
I’ve been aching to play this one for the past 15 years or so (I was too broke to afford a Wii or WiiU)
When I booted this up, I got legit emotional. The sights and sounds, through the eyes of my favourite character.. I can’t explain how powerful that feeling was.
Oh and the game is a f*cking masterpiece. No bullsh*t handholding, no gimmicks, no expository dialogue. It’s just you and the world around you, with a story waiting to be investigated and discovered in your own pace.
PLEASE Nintendo, give Retro all the resources they need to keep this incredible franchise going.
The trailer already looked amazing, in person it's even more crazy.
Give us Eternal Darkness Remaster now!
I'm not really a fan of Nintendo anymore, but I DO want to play the Metroid games that I haven't played yet. That's about it!
Yup, instantly downloaded as soon as I saw "Metroid Prime Remastered", didn't even look at the promo. Just logged in and downloaded. And I will also get the physical release when available.
I'm playing docked on a 32" 2K LED and with Logitech X-540 5.1 speakers and Pro Controller, simply amazing!! Blown away when I entered Phendrana Drifts!! Love that a flick of the controller lets the Morph Ball hop, like on Wii. Makes the wall puzzles much easier than timing things with a bomb.
I have finished the game and I am speechless. Incredible game and amazing work from Nintendo and Retro Studios.
I'm probably the only old school gamer that hasn't played any of the Metroid Prime games, I'll be picking this one up and will experience it for the first time. Can't wait!
I’ve been on the fence for dread, but I got this one as soon as I saw it in the shop yesterday! It’s fantastic so far!
Really happy to have found your channel. Perfect mix of news/actual reviews from someone who has actually invested time in the games. Thank you!
I'll admit that although I loved so many gamecube games back in the day, this game slipped thru the cracks and I only lightly ventured into it. I couldn't put Metroid dread down. So now imagine my reaction when they announced this remaster on the direct. I downloaded immediately and haven't looked back and about 4hrs in. I'm loving this remaster it's beautiful looking game and now can only fantasy of how Metroid 4 will look like. This is worth every penny
I'm honestly excited to get this remaster and finally beat it lol. I used to own the trilogy on the Wii but I never finished since it got annoying for me to aim with the controller after awhile. They had me sold with having actual inputs for current day controllers.
Personally, I prefered the Trilogy version but as the Switch's gyro controls are a little finicky. I think the reason why the gyro controls on the Switch aren't so great is that Metroid Prime Corruption and the Trilogy versions were released on the console that was built mainly around motion controls. I wish that other that the 4 specific controls you could customize the controls so that it'd fit more comortably as I keep mistaking the L button for the c button which on the Trilogy and Corruption version was to shift into Morph Ball mode. It'd be nice if the gyro controls stayed true to the Trilogy version. Other than that I'm super happy that Nintendo made a Remaster of Prime and although it's going to happen a remastered version of the second and third games would be incredible as seeing some of the bosses in Echos and Corruption would be excellent to see an updated model of them like Quadraxis, Emporer Ing phase 2, Omega Ridley, and AU 313.
If you're a Metroid fan or even a little bit Metroid-curious, this is absolutely a must buy. I really hope they're going to be giving us the whole trilogy before Prime 4. Metroid Prime was already a masterpiece, and they've basically perfected it.
Picked this up yrsterday and I'm very happy with it. It feels great, looks great and it's a next level remaster. From the cinematics, to the new textures, to the minute details, it's mind blowing!
This gives me hope. I think we’ll get Prime 4 by next year, I just hope we get Metroid Prime 2 and 3 this year
When I shot a missile too close to a wall and saw samus' face reflected in the blast 😍
The lighting in this game legit looks as good as some current gen games and it runs at 60fps and still looks sharp even on a big screen. Like seriously, if Prime 4 looks like this I'd be very happy.
I feel like Nintendo felt like it had to apologize for what happened with Prime 4 by giving us an actual good value for prime 1 remastered.
I preordered the Physical Copy of this game so quickly. I can’t wait to try it out. The funny thing, I can tell, is that so many people are probably going to Double Dip and end up spending $80 for one game. And they won’t even complain about it. They’ll be happy to spend that much. Sure, it’s 2 copies, but it goes to show, if you put forth an incredible effort, people WILL toss money at you. They’ll applaud you with cash.
I'm amazed how good the original game looks for 2002.
I have been studying for my board certification behavior analyst exam and it's funny that I watched this video and you have been using terms of reinforcement for Nintendo to keep their great behavior with their Metroid Prime Remaster going into the future. Your explanation was so natural and great. I am glad your doing better man and I hope your health keeps improving. I love the content and have been a subscriber for years. Thanks for the fun example of my studies in the real world.
I had no Idea this existed, I started watching TH-cam and Seen a Prime Remastered Commercial. I started to Flip out in the ohone with my Fiancé and I rushed for my switch. Seen the $40 and I bought this in a heart beat. One of my Childhood games I've been waiting to be put on switch. They did a glorious job and I appreciate what Nintendo and Retro did.
The crazy thing is that it ISN’T running at 720p on handheld. I think it probably might look better with the lower res and anti-aliasing. It just looks slick.
Bought this game finished it in 2 days. the clarity made it easy to navigate some areas. was 10 years last time I played it on the gamecube..
Bought it the moment it was announced. I hope they give 2 and 3 the same treatment before we’re graced with 4!
This game looks so good! Also great to see regular notifications of RGT videos again
Got it as soon as I saw your direct vid. Can’t put it down. Playing it on my LG 65” OLED and it’s beautiful!
I already pre-ordered, I am so happy for things like this happening, Metroid Prime is an amazing game. I need to play it, I put so much self control not to buy it digital, I love the physical format. I only hope that Nintendo bring in the same way Metroid Prime 2 and 3
There was more than just upgrading the textures.
Animations, Geometry, 3D engine, particles, textures, player & npc models were upgrade across the game to a greater or lesser extent.
Everything was touched!
I loved the updated model of the Parasite Queen!
I never owned a GameCube. I would 1000% love to buy HD Remake/ Remasters of GameCube games on the Switch. Now if only GameFreak could do this kind of quality for their Pokemon games. They really have no excuse when Switch has better looking and running games and now Metroid Prime added to that list.
