Will Metroid Prime Trilogy on Switch Use Motion Controls?

Metroid Prime Trilogy may be making it's way to Nintendo Switch, but will it require players to use the Joycon motion controllers?

IMissJimRyan1839d ago

Not as default, because motion controllers where just a gimmick when Switch was lauched. With Switch Lite they removed the feature and the games must follow.

CobraKai1838d ago (Edited 1838d ago )

All true. Especially with Switch Lite. Nintendo is not gonna make motion controls a requirement if their system can’t play it.
Besides, the only game that required motion control was Part 3. The other 2 I played just fine on GameCube.
But, isn’t the Switch version still a rumor?!

ZeekQuattro1839d ago

I see no reason why not. The Wii U version had the option for all three games after all.

"Option" is key :). Frankly I am wayyy more curious about the visuals hoping it will be better handled than Xenoblade

Hopefully loved Metroid corruption with the interactivity using the Wiimotes.

Metroid prime was one of the few games where I felt that motion controls added to the experience. I hope they are able to keep the motion controls in the switch version .

If it required players to use motion controls, then it wouldn’t be playable in handheld mode, and Switch Lite users wouldn’t be able to play it at all.

Metroid Prime 4 is vaporware at this point

That's why it got a trailer last year

Maybe it will happen after Metroid Prime 4 launches. Put Metroid Prime 2 & 3 on Switch and Switch 2.

Metroid Prime: The Story So Far - Everything You Need To Know Before Metroid Prime 4: Beyond

"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!

Neonridr295d ago

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.

druwepro294d ago

all 3 titles remastered would be awesome.
i would still miss the motion controls though :(
