Our take on the Metroid Prime Remastered - Nintendo Switch

Metroid Prime Remastered is the 2002 GameCube first-person adventure rebuilt for Nintendo Switch with new graphics, remastered sound, unlockable art and modern control options. It blends shooting, scanning and exploration on planet Tallon IV, with abilities like the Morph Ball and Grapple Beam opening routes back through old areas. It suits players who want atmosphere and puzzle-solving over fast multiplayer action, and it stands as one of the strongest single-player shooters on the system. Owners rate it very highly, praising the visual overhaul and the controls while noting the deliberate backtracking and the lack of new content beyond the presentation.

About the Metroid Prime Remastered - Nintendo Switch

Metroid Prime Remastered is a first-person adventure for Nintendo Switch in which you play bounty hunter Samus Aran. You explore the winding, interconnected environments of the alien planet Tallon IV. This version has revamped graphics, sound, unlockable art and updated control schemes.

Samus uses abilities such as the Morph Ball and Grapple Beam to reach hard-to-reach areas and find a path forward. You uncover the Space Pirates' experiments and learn about the toxic substance that left the planet in ruin. Scanning your surroundings reveals more about the creatures and culture of Tallon IV. The planet's biomes include the snowy Phendrana Drifts and the magma geysers of Magmoor Caverns.

Combat uses Samus' Arm Cannon against alien creatures, Space Pirates and Ridley, who returns with cybernetic and genetic enhancements. Backtracking and close attention to your surroundings help you solve puzzles and find more upgrades. Abilities like the Ice Beam, Missiles and several visors help you defeat the threats.
