While not offering much for veterans, if you haven't experienced the Prime games before, this compilation is an outright steal and you owe it to yourself to play it.
When the Gamecube launched, people were completely skeptical that Retro Studios, a largely unknown studio in Texas, was taking the reins of the Metroid franchise, a beloved series that missed the entire N64 generation. The doubt grew when they heard this revival was going to be taken into the first-person perspective. But once the game launched, Metroid Prime was hailed by both fans and critics as not only an amazing entry into the franchise (if not the best) but also as one of the best games ever made. Not only did it feature a very unique control scheme, it also invented an entire genre: the first-person adventure. Despite the perspective, the game maintained Metroid's classic gameplay, tying exploration and action together almost seamlessly.
Nintendo had given Retro Studios the task of remastering the Metroid Prime Trilogy after the studio's unannounced music RPG was canceled.
Maybe it will happen after Metroid Prime 4 launches. Put Metroid Prime 2 & 3 on Switch and Switch 2.
"Metroid Prime Trilogy, the Wii compilation of Retro Studios' first-person take on the Metroid series, launched in North America on 24th August 2009, exactly 15 years ago.
In honour of that sparking release (well, a little less sparkling than the originals in some places due to a few missing effects), we're taking the opportunity to recap Samus' story so far in the Metroid Prime games while we wait for the fourth numbered entry..." - Ollie Reynolds | NintendoLife
my most anticipated game.
just started playing the Trilogy on WiiU again (love the motion controls with wiimote)
amazing series!
if they aren't going to remaster all 3 titles prior to 4, it would have been nice if they just gave us a bare bones Switch port of the Wii U Trilogy. Thankfully I own that so I can still replay all 3 before 4 comes along.
all 3 titles remastered would be awesome.
i would still miss the motion controls though :(
