Metroid Prime Remastered Review – The Final Verdict

29 Comments

1. Metroid Prime is now old enough to drink.

2. The color blindness adjustment isn't new. The gamecube version was just that comprehensive

3. This will be my first Metroid game… I've wanted to play the originals for a while but never got around to them. This one looks absolutely amazing though

4. I kept the trilogy disc for my Wii, and I haven't played it on my WiiU in a long time. Glad I still have it. But this remake blows me away.

5. This game was the main reason that I bought my Gamecube way back when. I was 23 years old in 2002 and fresh out of college. Was a huge fan of the original on the NES when I was a kid (still have my original cart). Saw this game previewed on a Gamepro DVD that came with an issue of the magazine. I was a little skeptical, at first, as I couldn't really fathom the idea of a 3D Metroid game. However, I was still was interested in trying it out. When it dropped, I finally picked up a used Gamecube from Funcoland and a new copy of this game and was immediately sucked into it.

   Aside from the 3DS title (don't own the system), I have pretty much every game in the series across multiple Nintendo platforms from the NES original thru Dread on the Switch. With that being said, the original Metroid Prime still ranks up there as one of the most engrossing and entertaining games that I've ever played.

   I'm damn near 44 years old now and this video really makes me want to dust off my old copy of the game. Definitely may pick up the remastered version.

6. As of currently beat the game on and now playing through on hard, I have not seen or obtained the Fusion Suit that was in the original, wii, and wii u versions nor do I know if they put it in the game.

7. Take my money

8. A remaster is taking the core thing and making it aesthetically better. A remake which so many games today claim to be is a complete modernization from the ground up. Demon's Souls title may say remake, but its an absolute lie. You can remake visual assets and have Sony dump money to get an orchestra and it's not going to qualify your game as an honest remake. Not only did Demon's Souls NOT build the game from the ground up, but they ruined a lot of important aspects of the original. The music does not compare, the netcode got slaughtered, and save management no longer exists making one massive bloated save. It is nothing but a port with replaced assets which while beautiful and the specialty of Bluepoint, they would have been more impressive long term calling it a humble remaster. I know it was Sony who wanted it a remake for the sake of selling consoles because it worked on me. My stupid self went in for worlds first sl1 ng+5 pbwt run and I got it, and by the end hated the game. Lets not forget you can't even choose a gender. Just type A or type B. Now that garbage is in Elden Ring thanks to Bluepoint or who knows maybe it was more Sony. I really respect titles like this just getting the proper remaster title. Please don't go explaining that its a visual remake because it is NOT. They literally ported assets and while so much of what you described is remade, thats technically true of any remaster that textures and such are improved. I understand the laziest way would be a simple upscale. But lets not give developers more credit than they deserve just because Metroid isn't trash.

9. Ok wow, i was waiting for this to come out someday, but comming out the day it was announced is insane and at low price tag. Good, good, GOOD. Now what happend to Echoes and Corruption ? Will they comme out suddenly like the first ?

10. If this has the invisible walls that the wii version added I'm going to be really sad

11. metroid prime is the only game deserving of a prefect score 10/10

12. FYI: Metroid Prime Remastered is currently sold out in Amazon US, Amazon Spain and Amazon Mexico.

13. I loved this game when I was a kid. It was truly beyond anything else that was being done at the time. One of my favorite parts was the feeling of exploration it instilled. Going into a new area and turning on the scanning visor to record the flora and fauna and enemies. It made you feel like you were truly the first one to explore a unique alien world.

14. For some reason I never played the prime games. I must’ve thought I outgrew Metroid. I’ve been playing this all weekend. Has to put down Hogwarts

15. This verdict is trash

16. The gushing in the video really should have made it a 10/10 at the end

17. Game was always overrated and irritating to play. Unless you were a biased nintentard that never played a real fps. I hope this one fixes the crap controls

18. "Good things come to people who wait, but better things come to those who go out and get them." –Anonymous

19. It's not upgraded "beyond recognition". The game looks, feels and plays same as before. Just with higher fidelity.

20. Wow i probably buy the game without the system

21. Reviewers have been having finger bang orgasms over this i have to get the digital ver now and i took preordered the physical copy….damn

22. Mastapieeeeece

23. My gripe is the broken aiming it's constantly fighting me

24. What I took from this was that in 21 years time, Nintendo games will look slightly better than the remasters graphics.

25. Yanking the pro controller makes the morph ball jump. They did every possible improvement. The game is amazing.

26. We need to reward great remasters like this as opposed to lazy ones like Persona 3/4 and Tales of Symphonia

27. either the player in this video is really bad or the 1st person view in this game is abysmally shit

28. No metroid 4. We've been waiting forever

29. I hope they will bring Ocarina of Time Remaster as well.
