The surprise release is further proof of their confidence in the character. Obviously the promise of The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of A Kingdom is a biggie but Metroid Prime Remastered sees Nintendo determined to reinvent Samus Aran as an A-list star. Rather than talking next-gen, the company is looking at brilliant games to keep players interested. In recent weeks, Nintendo has spoken about how it’s entering “uncharted territory” with the Switch as the console confidently enters its seventh year. It’s telling that these are the biggest criticisms around Metroid Prime Remastered though. Other players have issues with the £35 price tag, when WiiU owners can still purchase the original trilogy for almost half that. A former developer has claimed the doors are “ fucked up” because they look a little different while some players have complained that Metroid Prime Remastered uses the scanner from the Wii’s rereleased Metroid Prime Triology, rather than the original. See how it stacks up to the Wii & GameCube originals in our graphics comparison Metroid Prime Remastered graphics are a huge upgrade. It’s not on the same level as the ongoing Final Fantasy 7 Remake project, but it’s a long way from the recent release of Goldeneye 007 (which makes a brilliant case for never revisiting a much-loved classic). It’s almost funny how the best-looking game on Nintendo Switch is now a 21-year-old remaster, but that should tell you the level of care and attention that’s clearly gone into this project. Remember how terrifying the Parasite Queen looked? Hate to break it to you, but it was actually a brown and green blob of cell-shading but in Remastered, it’s once again the stuff of nightmares. Picking up Metroid Prime Remastered for the first time, you’ll probably be amazed that the game looks and handles exactly how you remember it did, with Nintendo somehow matching two decades of rose-tinted glasses. "They took Samus' reflection out of Metroid Prime Remastered" /rFuRCYqeCa Even a well-timed rocket now reveals Samus Aran’s reflection in your visor with startling detail. From the rain hitting your visor and the way the light reflects off your arm cannon to the industrial intensity of later boss battles, this refreshed and repainted take on a classic is impossible not to get immersed in. Samus Aran’s suit now looks fearlessly imposing, while the different environments of Tallon IV are regularly breathtaking. As for the visuals, they’re astoundingly great. The controls work perfectly on the Nintendo Switch while Gamecube diehards have the option to toggle those back to allow their muscle memory to shine. The biggest change is how Metroid Prime looks and handles. The engaging shooter/puzzler is as engaging today as it was back in 2002, with a sparse soundtrack that’ll still send a shiver down your spine. Metroid Prime was always a thrilling game that blended blast-happy boss battles with mind-bending puzzles and a curious want to explore every inch of Tallon IV, and Remastered is no different. Taking a leaf out of the recent Dead Space Remake book, the game’s narrative remains true to the original and for good reason. Nintendo and Retro Studios has changed very little in Metroid Prime Remastered. It went on to sell over 2.8million copies, inspired two sequels (2004’s Echoes and 2007’s Corruption) and remains one of the most critically acclaimed games of all time. The premise was simple enough – formidable bounty hunter Samus Aran crash lands on the planet Tallon IV after doing battle with her nemesis Ripley and has to find artifacts to escape alongside upgrades to repair her damaged suit – but the resulting game was nearly flawless.

More than a simple remaster though, this reimagined version of Metroid Prime sees Nintendo finally celebrate Samus Aran’s enduring legacy. Here, another chapter of that history will be written,” the scene continues, before players can actually get their hands on the iconic bounty hunter. “Her battles extend beyond her life and etch themselves into the history.
