Metroid Prime is the game that made me fall in love with the Metroid series. I loved the original game so much that I ended up playing it twice back-to-back. I don’t think I have ever done that with a game before or since. With that in mind, you can probably guess my feelings on this remaster. It’s just as good as the original game with a beautiful coat of paint that is so good it honestly almost threads the line to being a full blown remake instead. Reflections look stunning and blast effects feel as vibrant and powerful as it felt using them in the original version. It’s probably one of the best looking games on the Switch and with a stable 60 fps it is a breeze to play. Most of my major complaints are moreso on things that weren’t changed in the remaster that were in the original. The Chozo artifact hunt is as arbitrary as ever without any way to mitigate the backtracking. An item tracker, which is something 2D Metroid titles have nailed down, still has not crossed over to the Prime series and thus going for 100% still feels like something I will only ever do once. Those complaints aside, this is still a great package and should definitely be the first entry any newcomers should try when playing through the namesake of the Metroidvania genre.
