METROID PRIME REMASTERED (First Thoughts) - Happy Console Gamer

[@fattiger6957]

As a PS2 owner back in the day, there were few games that made me envy Gamecube owners. Metroid Prime was one of those games.

[@michaelmyersplays4992]

GameCube is my favorite console of all time. Even though it failed terribly

[@samuelc6246]

It was the first generation I had home consoles from, we had no tv at home just Gameboys. I bought a used GC first, a used ps2 later. Both had such amazing games not available on the other. But I wouldn't change the order in retrospect. GC is my favourite of the twins you can't have a favourite of without feeling bad towards the other.

[@RockyD12]

My First console was the Gamecube but the stores here almost had no Gamecube games😑 they really did the Gamecube dirty

[@Dracobyte]

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

[@SS64DD]

@@michaelmyersplays4992 I wouldn't say that It did all that terrible, especially for a consol up against the ps2.

[@ActionJaxonH]

Metroid Prime is THE game that got me into gaming as an adult. Watched my brother play 10 hrs a day every day. Went out and bought a platinum GC with Prime 2 Echoes. I played so much I dreamed about the Ing at night (not joking, I really did)

[@10191927]

Those Ing had to be the creepiest Metroid enemies ever introduced, they are intimidating and truly other worldly, those things made me dread the dark world of Aether. Plus add in the limited bubbles of light, it made fighting the Ing feel so claustrophobic, venturing into the very atmosphere of Dark Aether was deadly. Prime 2 Echoes is my personal favorite of the Prime games.

[@ShiKage08]

I'm waiting for the physical copy, but I'm glad so many people are finding joy in one of my favorite series. The Prime games definitely deserved a remaster and I really hope we see Echoes and Corruption get similar remasters soon.

[@Gary-5642]

@@johndodo2062 how's that?? U mean the unlock able charge beam upgrades?? Or the regular charge beam

[@daktaklakpak5059]

I hope they fix the lighting issue when firing the beams. They do not emit light anymore when charged or shot. This is really sad when the Gamecube had them, and the Switch version with its improved graphics leaves you stranded in dark corridors. Its really inconstitent and distracting. When you can see the shimmering of your arm-cannon is illuminating the inner side of your helmet, but a giant glowing orb of plasma does nothing... These are the moments where i have to ask, is it idiocy or intetional? Both answers are bad!

I bought this as soon as it became available, and I can't get enough of it. I have no problem at all calling this the new definitive version of _Metroid Prime._ Everything from the lighting and particle effects to the rain on Samus' visor look absolutely gorgeous, and the gameplay and controls are really good for the most part. If _Metroid Prime 4_ has this kind of effort put into it, then the wait will have been worth it.

[@drowningin]

Also when you do a charge shot the bright light let's you see Samus face reflecting on the visor. If that was in the original I never noticed it, now it is crystal clear

[@Frostwulf1313]

I have played Metroid since the original was released on the NES. It is my favorite video game series ever. Metroid Prime felt like I was finally coming home. I feel in my heart that if the technology would have been available at the time Prime would have been what the designers were aiming for. It is my favorite of the series.

[@jasonking3182]

One of the great strengths of the game is it makes you feel like you’re controlling a high tech suit of armor. The way you move around, the reflection of Samus face, the jumping controls

[@jcnba28]

I've wait so long for Metroid Prime to come back that I still can't believe it's now on the Switch. They did a fantastic job on the remaster and I hope they give Prime 2 & 3 the same treatment. Prime 2 is my favourite game of all time.

[@JudgementNutter]

I think it says alot that the remaster makes it look how people REMEMBER the game looking, but the screenshot comparisons are night and day. It's crazy how much they updated the textures and made the dual stick controls feel good on Switch.

[@johndodo2062]

900p is rather pitiful. Makes it kind of obvious that prime 4 isn't going to be on the switch. If it can't run an updated version of a 20 year old game at 1080p then there's no way it's running a new engine even close to 60fps

[@Deletetarek]

@@johndodo2062 Retro has been using the same engine for all their games (RUDE engine I believe), including this remaster. They’ve just kept on updating it, its clearly capable and is absolutely going to be used for Prime 4. You’re acting like this is just a simple up res of the original Prime but it has way better models, textures, lighting, and 2 x MSAA all at 60 fps so 900p is completely understandable and honestly looks close to 1080p because of the MSAA that they used.

I never owned a Gamecube back in the day, but Metroid Prime, Resident Evil 1 (Remake) & Resident Evil 4 were the games that I REALLY wanted to play.

A perfect game is something innovative and complete like pikmin for GameCube or splatoon for Wii U or the Doom eternal for switch it’s great. The ONLY thing Metroid has going for it is it’s the only Nintendo IP that is rated T for teen. If Nintendo wanted to promote a better exclusive mature game they wouldnt have deserted no more heroes

I wanted to purchase the remaster this morning, went to look at the Nintendo store page, I was thinking in my head "wooh here we go 60 dollars for this light remaster with a new control scheme" then I get to the page and I see that sweet beautiful 39.99. I'm so glad Nintendo came to their senses and priced this appropriately, and this will also help more correctly reflect the existing market for a new Metroid prime, I think this will secure a good future for Metroid fans, I have never been able to look forward to the future of Metroid until these last few years, and it's paying off.

[@georgemorley1029]

This game being remastered now, twenty years on, feels like the gaming equivalent of Usain Bolt turning up at the Olympics at age 50 and just putting on some new spikes and running 9.6 to remind everyone who’s the king.

This is the game current FPS developers never wanted remade. This 20 year old game with updated graphics is putting to shame every major FPS release of the last 5-10 years. Now a new generation of players can see just what their parents and older players are talking about when we say the quality of games today doesn't compare.

The original Metroid Prime is probably my #1 game of all time. I HATED the motion controls implemented in the Wii versions. I was so glad to see that this new version has ALL the different control options, including a new dual stick approach. The only hard part for me is waiting until Feb. 22nd to play it because I simply MUST have this in the physical version. Digital simply won't do for this masterpiece of a game.

This game holds a special place in my childhood. I never got to finish the game, but I did replay the beginning hour of the game over and over. This will be my first time playing the game all the way till the end. They nailed it with this remaster.

[@DiasThiago100]

It's insane. I played the original when came out, but I was 14 and couldn't appreciate the revolution it was. And playing now, in 2023, i have to remind myself very often this is a 20yo game. Not talking about graphics, but the gameplay, the level design, the scope and mechanics of the game. This doesn't feel like a game that was great in 2002, it feels like a great game today. There were FPSs launched last year that didn't have the sophistication Metroid Prime has. So only now, playing the remastered, i understand when people say this is one of the greatest games ever made

[@Mr.Persia958]

This game was just amazing, I remember getting home from work in 2002 and jumping back in the game. Great memories

[@alexforndran7867]

For any veterans who haven't done so, I recommend playing with no HUD (but keep the helmet part), it's an excellent way to play through what is now a slightly easier game on the combat side of things, it really helps with the immersion and with removing the safety that the HUD provides. Enjoy!

All of them were great and Metroid Prime really showed me why it got all those 10/10 scores. Excellent game and pumped that more people get to play it again or for the first time.

I was a senior in high school back in November 2002 and my friend was kind enough to let me borrow his copy of Metroid Prime and his console in order to play. Just 10 min into the game my mind was blown from all the visual effects in the game. Seeing Samus's face during a flash of light, seeing rain and condensation on the visor, seeing the bones in Samus's right hand with x-ray vision and many more just blew my mind back then. The game was so good after beating my friends copy I bought my own a few months later along with a Gamecube and I started doing speed runs and sequence breaking. Nowhere near a world record but my personal best was completing the game 100% at about 2 hr 45 min. Once I saw the trailer for the Switch remaster I knew I had to get it again and play it all over again (waiting for physical copy). Game was ahead of it's time.

Metroid Prime is one of my favorite games. I have 4 different versions of it (The NTSC and PAL versions for the GameCube, the Trilogy version and the Japanese Wii version), and soon 5, when the physical release of the remaster arrives. I'm happy for all the new fans that they get to experience this game. It looks gorgeous.

I liked when you showed off the cover of the GameCube game and it transitioned into a cool shot of the art work infront of a wooden background. Nice

Man, I remember the build up to the original! This remaster made me order my first switch!

I'm a big 2D Metroid fan... I played all the games, even some fan made... I always passed the Prime Saga and I'm taking care of that mistake with this remaster... I'm really enjoying it and it's incredible how they translate Metroid to a First Person 3D Game... You feel that you're playing Metroid, all the things that you love are present and are very recognizable. Greetings from Colombia, thanks for your hard work and great videos

Metroid Prime did for Metroid in my opinion what Ocarina of Time did for Zelda. A near series defining entry that brought everything we loved about the Super Nintendo titles to 3D with ridiculously high ambition and fabulous execution. Metroid Prime might be the best story telling experience in Metroid before Dread (all the games have amazing subtextual storytelling, but Fusion took it higher and Dread really delivered on a new level for 2D). The level design, the music, the controls, Samus herself. Metroid Prime is holistically a near perfect game, and this remaster has made it look and feel better than ever. I have nothing but hype for Metroid Prime 4

Im so pissed they added the STUPID Wii aiming reticle and wont let us TURN IT OFF. Like the original, the game was designed around lock on, you didnt need a stupid aiming reticle in the middle of the screen. It was about immersion and this remaster completely forgets that. They need to get rid of the stupid aiming reticle. It was never in the original.

I bought it digitally on the spot, and have been playing it every night. I played the original in 4k and maxed out settings last year, but this looks and plays sooo much better. It is 100% worth the money, and if you've never played this is the version to get without question.

Metroid Prime has a unique place in history for my younger brother and I. It was my brother's senior year in high school when he had suffered from some severe medical issues that left him hospitalized for over 3 months. I remember talking to him in the hospital about how cool Metroid Prime was, and he eventually asked me if I could bring my Game Cube to the hospital to show him. Although I hadn't beaten the game yet, I decided to leave my console and my copy of it with my brother so he could play it. He was bedridden and there was absolutely nothing else for him to do. So he ended up 100% clearing the game multiple times and to this day he remembers the game as the one thing that kept him going during that very hard time. When the Remaster came out he of course bought it immediately, and has been sharing with his kids why the game is so special. Thankfully he has never been ill like that again, but to this day we both associate Metroid Prime with his recovery.

The level of detail they put on the environments is staggering, plus the gameplay improvements, this is closer to a remake than a remaster in my opinion, akin to Demon's Souls and Shadow Of The Colossus.

Got a metroid prime bundle on my gamecube back in the day came with an exclusive demo for metroid prime 2. What an amazing memory

[@TimDespairBear11]

It’s prime time baby

[@everthealtruist]

I saw an ad for the remaster when taking my Switch Lite out of sleep mode, I didn't know it was coming, and I didn't get to play a substantial amount of the original. I had a PS2 and later an XBOX, but I never had a GameCube. I impulse bought it, and so far I'm not disappointed. I'm psyched to finally get to play it.

I remember back when I was around 7 or 8 years old, I used to watch my brother play metroid prime all the time. He has aspergers and has always been bad with sharing so he never let me play it. Having wanted to play it so damn bad, my mom actually got me a gamecube and metroid prime for Christmas. He was stuck on the phazon mines for such a long while, never making it past the elite pirate. When I got there I actually made it past said elite pirate and taught him how to do it. Following me beating prime one, he actually for the first time, shared metroid prime 2 with me. He could tell how much I loved the games and it meant the world to me that he was willing to share. We helped each other figure out the games and really connected from there. He also gave me metroid zero mission after he got fusion, as he knew just how badly I wanted to try it out. To this day zero mission is my favorite game of all time and prime is easily top 5.

I was not a gamer for a long time and it’s a pleasure to have an opportunity to play these classic games. Prime will be my entry point to 3D Metroid like Super Metroid, and I’m excited!
