GameInformer - On this week's show, we take a look back at one of the Gamecube's best games and Nintendo's most surprising franchise reinventions.
Andrew Reiner and Dan Ryckert join me in playing through the first 20 minutes or so of Retro's at-the-time-totally-shocking first-person take on the Metroid formula. Tune in to see how well it holds up and hear plenty of reminiscing about our thoughts on this turn for the series and where we'd like to see it go next.
Metroid Prime is a detective game at heart, and the Scan Visor is Samus' trusty magnifying glass.
It's been two decades since Metroid Prime first launched and it still holds up fantastically well.
I can’t believe it’s been 20 years since I bought this for my GameCube! My best friend and I ordered pizza for delivery, it was snowing outside and we stayed in all weekend playing it. Still one of my all time favorite games and I really hope the Switch ports being rumored is true. Fantastic game, one for the ages🙂
With the recent release of Dread, it's time to look back on the history of Metroid and rank the best — and the worst.
Best (for me) would be the first Metroid Prime. It was simply amazing the first time i played it. so deep and challenging while also turning the series completely into something that felt new and fresh.
Worst (for me) is most likely Other M. I can appreciate what they were trying to go for but it just felt flat and played out.
Looking at the rest of the list, I never played Federation Force but i have played the rest. Pinball is still one of my favorites to play now and then.
I was playing the first one yesterday and god i cant believe this made in 2003.
This game became a classic ... such a great trilogy :)
One of the greatest games ever made. And my personal all time favorite. Nintendo /Retro should be proud of this one.
IMO best game of last gen, with maybe the exception of RE4.
