  • Metroid Prime Remastered is now out digitally for the Nintendo Switch and while I have a lot of fond memories of the game from the early 2000s, this version is significantly upgraded looking more like a remake. With the state of the Metroid Prime franchise in general, this is exactly what Nintendo and Retro Studios needed.

      Literally the only things to critique about this remaster are 1. Certain objects are no longer reflective. 2. A couple of bugs from the original weren't fixed, like the Ice Shriekbats disappearing forever after you progress to a certain point. 3. They seem to have used version 1.1 as a basis, so a good chunk of sequence breaking techniques from the original release don't work. Those are the only things to nitpick that I can tell. Everything else is about as good as it could be.

    Also, on the topic of the "hand holding" that modern games do, I always felt the Prime series (at least 1 and 2) did a great job with the hint system.

    It's incredible how they managed to update all of the assets while still staying true to the original art style. And there's just little things that demonstrate that this wasn't rushed out the door, it was given the proper care that this game deserves. And now it can be played portably, which is something that seems to have been overlooked.

      Yeah, no. Xenoblade changed the textures and character models, Prime changed almost everything: Lighting, 3D character and environment assets, select animations. They're not in the same ballpark, and Prime's improvements are unanimous which wasn't the case as to how the characters looked in Xenoblade.

      It's not a bug. They removed it from the Wii version because the motion controls broke that aspect of the lighting with the ability to move Samus' arm in many more directions. This game seems to be based on the Wii version, and also includes the motion controls. My guess it that they decided to include the motion controls over keeping that part of the lighting.

    The care this game has to immerse you into the world is incredible. When i played it back in the day, i mostly ran through it and only scanned things when i needed a hint. Replaying it now, i took my time and scanned everything. It's amazing how it has in-universe reasons for enemy behavior. It makes the world feel like a diverse ecosystem I'm moving through instead of just a game level. Instead of having a barrier, you have to use a certain use a certain upgrade to break, they're built from unique materials with unique properties that make it weak to certain things that you have to figure out on you're own. Mechanically, it makes no difference, but these little details feel less of a game and more of a space adventure across an alien planet with its own history. I cannot sing the game's praises enough.
