A comparison of Metroid Prime on the Nintendo Gamecube VS the Metroid Prime Remaster on Nintendo Switch. Full disclosure: This comparison is a "remaster" of one I previously released on my channel. I went in and corrected the aspect ratio, cleaned up the overlay, and fixed audio problems. Hope you all enjoy! - เกม
Boring game
Wtf ? lol
You're just too stupid to play the game.
filtered by exploration and using your brain EZ
i agree...i couldnt get into it at all but i love super metroid
How so?
it's a boring game if you are simple minded. this game is art and a masterpiece.
What amazes me more than the remaster is just how good the original still looks. The GameCube was a mighty little system.
Spec wise yes, but mini discs and Nintendo burning bridges with 3rd party killed it
@@zef9151 Purple color and handle killed it. Deemed a kiddy console. Nintendo regained some of the third part support it lost with the N64.
@@desamster Purple is underrated and is a bit of a bold color choice. Nintendo was going to be deemed a kiddy console maker because of 2000s edge and the company’s refusal to make mature games regardless of the GCN’s color or handle. (Who the hell complained about the handle?)
@@protocetid The console was mocked as the purple lunchbox. It didn't do the company's image any favors. It's ridiculous but it is what it is.
@@desamster purple color and handle, that's the stupidest thing I've ever read, there are other real reasons why it got shoved away and none of it had anything t do with those 2 things, bruh.
The "Remastered" edition that is actually a great full graphic Remake 👀
Metroid Prime was one of the best looking games on the GameCube, and now it’s one of the best looking games on the Switch.
idk if thats a high bar tho....
Prime Remastered is the only game to not only look infinitely better than the original, while looking back at the original also impresses to this day with how excellent it was
Considering the hardware, the original looks fantastic for the gamecube.
This is how you do a remaster
They really blurred the lines between remake and remaster with this one.
remakes always take a cartoon look i dont like
Wdym "always"
@JuhoSprite most remakes like this one destroy all humans super Mario rpg spongebob crash bandicoot all have a cartoon artstyle the so called fortnite look as the originals are more dark and real looking
@@JuhoSprite even the gta remakes
I can't believe we got to see Prime 4 yesterday 😭😂 it's real. After all these years, I was doubting it. Definitely going back and hitting the Prime remaster again!
same here
Ikr
I'm trying to beat prime 2 on dolphin emulator never finished the game
@@AndrewK209prime 2 is my favorite in the trilogy so damn good! Hate that we don’t have 2 or 3 on the switch… hopefully sometime in the future it’ll happen.
💫💯💯
It may have taken a thousand years, but Metroid Prime 4 is officially on the way!
I"M SO HAPPY
Extremely happy
I hope we get Prime 2 & 3 remasters too!
Press F for the floating rock in front of Tallon IV

5:21 These side-by-side upgrades are so big; it almost looks like a fan made a high-end Unreal render for a remaster concept
I HUNGER for Prime 2 Echoes getting this treatment.
I think they will release 2 and 3 remaster before 4 release
@@cats4603 we can only hope, brother
@@cats4603 Man I wish they would shadow drop those remakes somewhere between now and 2025
@@MisterDutch93 I think they will
I think Rare was going to release Metroid 2 and 3 as an enhance port in one cartridge, but now with both games not being released so close to Metroid Prime remaster makes me now believe that Metroid Prime 2 and 3 are getting the full remaster treatment Metroid Prime got.
After seeing the Prime 4 footage I can't get over the massive tank shoulders 😂
True though but that never bother me
I'm gonna miss the tank shoulders :c sure, she looks a bit more streamlined and slim in 4's trailer, but I've always preferred Prime 1 Samus' bulkier appearance.
This is more of a remake than a remaster
Not really. This game is the same as it was with better graphics. That's what a remaster is.
@B0BIN0594 exactly
If it was remake, it would added new level, weapon or enemies or even armors
That what remake mean
@@cats4603 Remake means that all the game is builded again from 0. This is a remaster because it uses the original source code and only had a graphic update. If they add new levels or content is irrelevant.
I think the most impressive part of this remaster / remake was that they kept most of the colors and gloomy vibes intact while still dramatically upgrading the graphical fidelity. Lots of remasters completely change the original artistic vision to brighten things up and make them shiny, like Halo CE Anniversary.
Lined up the side by side comparison so well! Fantastic game!
After seeing the Prime 4 reveal, I feel like the Prime remaster was most likely a test project for the new engine that they’ll also use for beyond because of how similar they look technically
The biggest praise you can give the devs of the remaster is that when you play it for the first time since 2002 it looks and feels like you remember it.
Only when put side by side it’s apparent how vast the improvements really are!!
Man, our brains interpolated a huge amount of stuff into those clunky visuals back then. 😂
(Not taking away anything away from MP on GC. It was a technical marvel and still holds up pretty well.)
"Prime 4 looks too good for a switch"
-People who have forgotten about this remaster
i didnt forget...it pretty much looks like the remaster...I didnt understand the hype for prime 4...After all this wait we basically get remaster level of graphics lol
I feel like remasters are not usually this faithful to preserving the soul of the original.
I think what I find most impressive is just how well the art direction of the original has held up over time.
huge difference and the remaster was pretty amazing work actually. I was playing it after the prime 4 reveal yesterday, i played till i got the varia suit i was so excited.
Experiences I will always remember: seeing & playing this, Star Fox Adventures, Rogue Squadron II, and FFX when they finally came out.
I played metroid prime a few years ago with my husband and fell in love with the series! The remake looks phenomenal and metroid prime 4 is going to be so good! I can't wait!
I never played the original, but the remaster looked great and felt like a modern game. Maybe with a touch of a feeling of it being an older game but the original was ahead of its time with that.
looks like the most proper 'remaster' . so many games with that remaster description that doesn't look fresh or interesting
The remastered version is exactly how the original looked to me as a kid. This is how a remastered / HD version of a game should be done. Really wish Skyward Sword HD and Twilight Princess HD received this kind of treatment.
The absolute overhaul of e graphics is amazing!
It’s forever in my heart. This game has it all. Adventure, mystery, great gameplay and mechanics. Good story, great level design. Interesting enemies and very varied. Good boss fights, graphics and the music, my gosh the music!
Have played this game for more then 20x literally! And hearing this tune I can start all over again.
No other game has ever accomplished that!
This game and Crash's remasters are good examples on how to take old games to newer audiences, instead of the lazy compilations that Nintendo do, like All Stars.
masterpiece of a masterpiece (I have 10 copies of the remaster)
Why? Lol
Are you hoarding those so you can hold ebay hostage in 10 years? 😂
Just thinking that the OG Metroid Prime even has more details than the remastered version (light when shooting, mirror in the chozo ruins, light reflections) is just impressive
Xenoblade Chronicles Wii and Xenoblade Chronicles Remastered Switch, please :D
That exists already lol
Very nice comparison. Subjectively, TH-cam videos do not do the justice seeing it eye to PVM or any type of decent CRT with upscale. Something about those boards and chips simply gave it a life of what it was so for the GameCube. Objectively, The switch still proves its possible to keep that love and taste we had when we were kids. I do in hopes see a team being able to capture that same direction if Nintendo approves for a Metroid Prime 2 echoes Remastered.
Nintendo needs to give prime 2 and 3 this treatment!
It wasn’t just an upscale. There small details around.
small? man if you play the whole game you d be amazed how much they improved
I’ll never be able to play the original ever again, and I still adored the original when I played it the first time
Amazing to see the difference and the OST. I played the trilogy on the Wii. I think I buy this to replay it before prime 4 comes in 2025
You can tell the Switch version looks more advanced, but the GameCube version looks impressive for its time!
I couldn't agree more!
How did I never notice the space pirate station looks like an Anglerfish?! 1:17
Very good remaster but I like the atmosphere of the original game better. A lot of areas are too bright on the remaster, especially in Chozo ruins...
I completely understand that. I prefer the remaster, but I do have so much nostalgia for the original. Playing it back when it was new. I'm that way with the Zelda n64 remakes on 3ds. I still prefer the originals even tho I do enjoy the remakes of those games.
This and the System Shock remake within two years (for consoles) is pretty amazing
Remaster definitely looks good, but there are subtle design changes I think that still make the gamecube version better (in those aspects). I kind of like the scratchy, static-y appearance and the subtle movements in the original game's title screen. The remaster's menu as a result just looks far less stylized and more static without that. It has less life. Which unfortunately brings me to how some of the lighting works. No doubt the remaster's lighting is superior in terms of baked lighting and texture detail is better, too. But the missing dynamic lights from the arm cannon fire in many scenes is unfortunate and the lack of reflections in spots (even if they were done using heavy tricks back then, who cares, it's the end result that matters) also reduces the dynamism of scenes. That said, at least the water motion and effects aren't missing in this version like in the Wii version. And everything else is just outright better looking than the gamecube iteration. I will say I think fixing the (or keeping the fixed) physics bugs was a mistake. It made subsequent playthroughs far better and more interesting. It's like if someone released Super Metroid Remastered and removed all the speed boost tricks to skip sections of the game. That stuff is part of the game and a huge part of the reason the original was so lauded, since it opened the game up in ways beyond just the original mostly linear pathway through it.
Prefer how shiny her armor was in the original but the remaster is a massive leap. Its the only switch game that doesnt look like shit which is impressive.
There are many other switch games that look just as good as Prime remastered. People are just blinded by poorly optimized ports of games originally made for next gen consoles.
@@mikehasfallen the cartoony games do but this game isnt cartoony. Otherwise games of a similar aesthetic only look good on youtube. On the tv they are an aliased low res mess.
This game looks amazing on the Switch. It also looked great on the GameCube, the GC was basically as powerful as the original Xbox. The gameplay feels very similar to the original, it would have been nice if their was more 'kick' when shooting. Thats one thing Halo always got better in that generation, along with the story. Also, I feel like Nintendo got the graphics so great on this re-make because this is the exact same graphical style/'system' they will be using for Metroid 4. At least that's what it looks like from the preview on the Direct. I hope not because I'd rather them show off what the switch 2 can do. But more than likely not; considering this was always being developed on the OG Switch. Just like BOTW on WiiU and Switch.
Oh man I'm gonna trigger you guys...but I bought this game and I still wanted the original.
I hope more remasters do what Xbox did with halo MCC.
This is probably the least triggering comment of all 😂. That would be incredible. Who wouldn't want the option to switch between Remaster and OG graphics? The only difference between the Remaster and the collection you mentioned is that MP had WAY more work done to it. It is borderline a remake. So, swapping graphics may not have been possible when the game has been reworked to this extent. But yea, I would have loved that option.
and they sell this for $40
it's so weird as a European to see the intro without the voiceover lmao
before i knew about the voiceover, i had downloaded a European version of the game. The voiceover startled me lmao
I knew about the voice over, but not until years after it's release. As an American, it's so weird to think Prime has voice over lol.
almost perfect remake. my only issue was how bright the queen parasite fight was.
hope mgs3 gets the same treatment but it doesnt look as faithful
It actually looks extremely faithful, and Konami confirmed the legacy color grading, camera perspective and controls are all back.
And you can use the Legacy color grading with the modern controls and perspective as well.
With them using the original score and VA work it’s clear the focus is on accuracy.
Much like MP Remastered.
@@RicochetForce idc abt the original controls because mgsv is basically the standard just like im glad tank controls r optional in MPR.
i havent seen nowhere that says the original color grading will be back but it should be the default because thats part of the atmosphere.
theres also some effects missing like i think the game should have a soft lense look because that's part of the art direction. ik alot of games had excessive bloom because of technical limitations but for mgs3 it was deliberate. kojima wanted to emulate spielberg and spielberg is known for using lense nets and filters to make his films more soft.
search up bleach bypass and diffusion filters (lenses, and nets). i think both of these effects need to be put on MGSTriangle. ill use reshade if it's not there but i want the game to be done justice

@@RicochetForce ur misunderstanding me n being combative for no reason. i mentioned MGSV because it was a good call to change the control scheme. like I said the color grading shouldnt be a tucked-away option it should be the default. it's part of the games art direction because its a period piece. the game should have a movie-like look to it (like I said soft lens and film grain).
i found the interview and it sounds like the visual filter is only available on legacy control mode which doesnt make any sense, theres no reason for that. i also dont like it being treated as a n afterthought. the color filter is not the only thing that made mgs3 look like it did.
since we're talking abt mgsd now there's also the issue with the boss not looking exactly like herself. she's supposed to look like. her model is ok but it could def be better ngl.
i never said that mgsd looked bad or unfaithful i said it doesnt look as faithful as MPR which is a near perfect remake and im pointing out my issues w it so that it might be fixed because feedback fixes things.
Hate me if you want but this didn’t need a remaster. The GC graphics hold up even today!
it's just nice to see nintendo showing my favorite single player game of all time some love.
La versión de Gamecube no envejeció mal que digamos
Really wish Nintendo made an actual console again….
Are you referring to power or the console not being a hybrid?
Wow the original looks immaculate
The game is 22 years old. It really is mind-blowing what Retro pulled off with the original game. People who sleep on what the GameCube was capable of graphically must not have played games like Prime 1 and 2.
@@indominus_Bit also run at lock 60fps too most people don't know that the gamecube is more powerful than ps2 it just lack the storage
Almost a remake.
It looks even better than Metroid Prime 4 lmao.
when the same day of the remastered, the remastered needs another remaster....is like 2 gen ago!!!
beautiful but... 02:25 did the Power Suit really need a buttcrack contour?
whoever dont like this vidiea aint right i tell you what...
ITS SAD TO SAY THAT REMASTER IS NOT BETTER
I would love to see someone run the OG Metroid Prime on a CRT through S-Video side by side with Prime Remastered running on a 1080p (NOT 4K) IPS monitor. That is a more accurate comparison.
This is a 100% accurate comparison. I'm well aware that consoles from the Gamecube generation and back look better on CRT tvs. They were designed for them. I have a very nice CRT I use for my retro gaming. However, everything here is running in its native resolution on real hardware. If you're advocating for people to play their retro games on CRT, hey, I'm all for it. However, it's completely false to say this is not an accurate comparison. If someone plugs up a Gamecube nowadays on a modern TV, this is exactly what you'll see. In fact, the image here is even better than default. I'm running it through an hdmi adapter via the component port on the Gamecube.
@@indominus_Bcan u make a video with a CRT filter or sumn. it's an accurate comparison of graphics but not accurate to how it looked when it came out/ art direction. or maybe play it on the CRT and edit the video to emulate what u see
Then he would be fighting against CRT imperfections like glare, CRT geometry issues, etc..
This is the most fair comparison, direct renders output to screen.
@@RicochetForce it might be the most raw comparison but not the most fair comparison. the devs made the game being mindful of how the crt would process the image. u can find examples like ff7, silent hill and RE, castlevania, etc. where it looks better (intentionally) because the game was made for crt.
@@RicochetForce 😐 old games look better on CRT because they were made for CRT.
The GC version holds up _so_ well vs the Remastered one.
However, it clearly has -nothing- , Ok 😅😄 _very little_ on Beyond. I ,, just want to have some of the stuff that Retro is on (if I can handle it!) when they're going to be squeezing a PS4 inside those Cartridges! 😅
imagine what a talented studio like Retro Studios could do if they weren't hindered by hardware from the stone age
Original looks better IMHO
Honestly 50 50
i hope switch 2 ia not as weak as this console is, remaster not really
More enhanced, nothing special 😐they only need money from us
They called it a remastered not a remake this is one of the best remastered and you say something like this it also only 40 bucks which is too good for the price of the game most of the remastered charge 60 but it just HD and widescreen this one completely remake every texture , improved lighting effect,modern control and more.
@@SMOFan-eh5fr Not just every texture. Every asset was entirely remade. They are really underselling this by calling it a remaster. It's a complete graphical remake.
@@ians_parks That's what I'm talking about everything was remake and it only cost 40$ is insane for the price of the game I think maybe they want to attract more new fan which is good for Metroid series.
and this guy will probably buy Luigi 's mansion2 HD saying it's amazing lmaoo
The Remasterd is brilliant my eyes dancing of happines 🥹😍
