okay i have now completed a 100% playthrough of this bad boy and i gotta say: nintendo greenlit a remaster that's GOOD? it plays better than the original?? runs better? looks amazing? did someone do this behind their back or on a computer not connected to their servers. that is the only explanation for this being leaps and bounds better than the anemic 3D All-Stars. Metroid got a better remaster than MARIO, that's insane. Prime was one of the best looking games on the Gamecube and is now one of the best looking games on the Switch.

The actual game is preserved Metroid Prime goodness, you even have the original control scheme as an option along with customizations to tailor it to your playstyle. You can unlock the beautiful Metroid Prime concept art, listen to the kickass OST, and even adjust the helmet effects that define Metroid Prime if you're a sicko.

This is one of the most lovingly crafted remasters ever, that recaptures everything that made Prime so awe-inspiring, but plays so beautifully they honestly could just drop the "remastered" from the title and convince someone this game is brand-new entirely.
