Metroid Prime Remastered has been bought and is downloading now. It's been a while. The Direct said there are control options. I can't wait to see what they are.

Nintendo and their surprise releases.... This one has been wanted for so long that I wonder HOW they were able to keep the release so quiet.

 

[Caldwin]

Probably because it was rumored so long, whoever would have leaked it didn't think we'd believe them. I'm just guessing. But however they did it, I'm glad. The absolute giddiness of "available later today" was just crazy!

I'm quite pleased about Gameboy and GBA games. Give me all the Zeldas, Tactics Advance and Advance DS and I will be so happy.

Darnit, Nintendo! How could you be so cruel to stealth drop a Metroid Prime Remaster on me on a weeknight? I got work in the morning,

Sounds like you're coming down with a cold. A bad one.

 

[Caldwin]

Pretty bad. I may not make it in for the rest of the week. And right before vacation too.

Im waiting for the physical release. It’s going to be a tough two weeks. From what I’ve seen on YouTube, it looks gorgeous. Not just upscaling but new textures and details. Side by side comparison here:

I saw that. I subscribe to them. I was shocked at how much they did. And that's not even mentioning the control options of and new unlockables.

 

[Thefakelink]

I wonder if they snuck in a Prime 4 Easter egg in the unlockables. Like they did with Return of Samus having artwork that led into Dread.

The actual game comes out February 22nd.

So I'm curious, does it have the Wii controls as an option? Because if not, I feel it's better to just play the Wii Trilogy version.

 

[Caldwin]

It does. You have the choice between: Gamecube controlls, Wii Controls, Switch controls (uses the second analog stick for looking around and aiming), and some sort of mix between Gamecube and Switch controls.

Ooof. the lack of an auto save funtcion after so long hurts a bit. Got to the Phazon Mines after going back to Magmoor to grab the Plasma Beam but all the Beam Pirates and the ambush of an Elite in a hallway dropped me. Found out I hadn't saved since my first run in the Mines.

 

[Caldwin]

Oof. Even with an auto save function, manual save every chance you get. If you think you've saved enough, save it again.

I called it a night after getting the space jump boots. It's been so long since I've played this, I'm not sure where to go next. Good thing I still have my strategy guide from back in the day.

 

[Thefakelink]

Physical copy is preordered. Now the waiting game begins.

I remember playing the original and having the players guide , which was the only way I got 100%. Maybe this time I’ll challenge myself to get 100% without it.

 

[Caldwin]

I have the original GC game and Wii Trilogy physically, so I'm okay just having this version digitally.

So, now there's a rumor going around that Metroid Prime 2 and 3 are coming on the Switch, but not getting the full remaster treatment that Prime 1 did.

Metroid Prime 2 and 3 Reportedly Coming to Switch Without the Full Remastering Treatment

Enjoying Metroid Prime Remastered on Switch? Metroid Prime 2 and 3 are reportedly on the way as well, but not in the same form.

No idea how accurate this rumor will turn out to be.

 

[Shadewing]

that will disapoint a lot of people

 

[Videomaster21XX]

It'd be a shame, but given how modern gaming is right now, I can see this happening.
