Metroid Prime Remastered is Great, But a Trilogy Collection Would have Been Better

Players jumping into the series before Metroid Prime 4 releases need access to the entire trilogy on the Switch, not just Metroid Prime Remastered.

Imagine Metroid Prime using UE 5?, thank you Nintendo you are ossummm! :D

badz149865d ago

you want them to melt all the Switch worldwide?

PhillyDillyDee866d ago

Theyre gonna pull some BS, just watch. Im betting 1 and 2 will be sold individually then 3 will be a part of a trilogy pack.

Petebloodyonion866d ago

I don't know why everybody is praising Nintendo for remastering Prime1 when they became silent radio on Prime4.
As much as I can see the game looking better it's still played exactly like the Metroid prime 1 on Gamecube or the Trilogy version that I also own on Wiiu (It's the Wii version but it was made a Wiiu title)

--Onilink--866d ago

Because its a great remaster? And actually reasonably priced against all odds?

I dont need them to be telling me every six months that Prime 4 is still coming. They are developing the game and will show more details when its ready, simple as that.

I have no problems with Nintendo not showing it yet if they still don’t want to

jambola866d ago

it's 40
I've seen better remastered trilogies for roughly the same, hell I've seen collections 5 times bigger for half the price

Petebloodyonion866d ago

and they released the COMPLETE trilogy on Wii-u for 20$

--Onilink--866d ago

@pete

And that was still the Wii version, with literally no WiiU enhancements whatsoever…

I 100% prefer a remaster of the level we got at $40 than just a simple upres port of the trilogy at $60 like it has happened with basically every other Nintendo remaster so far, or even worse for them to release a Wii port for $20 with no enhancements

Not to mention this is clearly part of the work Retro is doing graphically for Prime 4

Tacoboto866d ago

That's not accurate on either part. The Wii U "title" is only just the Wii version - motion controls and 480p only. This version is the first version with dual-stick controls so that alone makes the feel of this different than either version 10 or 20 years ago.

Petebloodyonion866d ago

Yes like I said the Wii u is the Wii version but was billed as a Wiiu game the point it appears straight into the Wii-u Menu and not the Wii one like the Wii game but it is essentially the Wii Trilogy offered at a discount price at the time with remote controls.

PhillyDillyDee866d ago

As much as you can see? Guess you missed the part about modernized controls. I also saw a video that showed off an updated soundtrack.

Petebloodyonion866d ago

Ok they modernized control... update the music basically exactly what they did with the Wii trilogy (that supported motion control-like corruption)
My point isn't that the game is fined tune but the fact that ppl celebrate Nintendo for not delivering something that was a major announcement in 2017.
How would ppl feel if Sony was announcing Uncharted 5 and after 6 years they would release a remaster of the 1st Uncharted or if the upcoming Perfect Dark by MS is ... the remaster of the 1st one so you can still wait.

Heck I can already see the Xbox has no game or can't make a game comment flooding in

And also you know that they didn't made the trilogy so they can release the others game later on.

Neonridr866d ago

and TLOU on PS5 plays exactly the same as it does on PS4. What's your point? A great game deserves to be enjoyed by a larger audience.

Petebloodyonion866d ago (Edited 866d ago )

and the majority of the crowd dissed Sony for basically remastering a Ps4 titles
how many reviews gave it a great score but mentioned that the price was too high?
Heck, go see Angry joe review it's the perfect satire where he basically goes fetch the review of the Ps4 changes some filters, renames the file name to Tlou part 1, and press play.
Also, did NaughtyDog announce Tlou3 Part 5 years ago?

Again my issue isn't that they remaster a great game it's the fact that they are giving a middle finger to fans of the actual trilogy (ppl like me who basically own all previous versions) while saying get ready for parts 2 and 3 before the damn part 4.

And let's be clear if Microsoft would have put that crappy move with a 40$ Remake of Halo1 instead of Infinite
the negative comments would have flooded this thread.
Heck just wonder what would happen if MS release a Perfect Dark remaster instead of the new one?

Tacoboto865d ago

What are you on, Pete?

Halo CE already got remade, in 2011. Then it got re-released again as part of MCC in 2014. It's still getting updated. Nintendo hasn't said anything about remakes of Prime 2 or 3. The only TLOU being officially worked on is Factions and Part 1 PC.

What you're saying here is wrong, your initial post is wrong, and all of your follow ups have been wrong.

jambola866d ago

but that would be expected to cost less and nintendo doesn't like things costing less
especially when people keep supporting that anyway

Profchaos866d ago

Metroid fans for years: "we want prime remastered."

Metroid fans after getting what they want: "yeah.... It's ok but where's the rest"

Rage77866d ago

Notice that the people bitchin aren't the "Nintendo Fans".
That age old myth of "Crazed, Zealot acting Nintendo fans" is a construct from years of trolling coming from
"opposite camp fans".
Most of the people you see complaining here arent true Nintendo fans, they are low key "imposters" that fake
"concern", because "they care" when in reality you only see praising only what others do but Nintendo in teir eyes can only do wrong...its gotten old and it didnt work against the Switch's success and it probably never will.
In the meantime, i prefer to enjoy stuff instead of being day in and day out "disapointed" in the stuff i dont care about. Would it had been nice to have all 3? Sure, does it make this one less great? Abso-F&^in-lutely NOT. :)

jambola866d ago

Lol
"Not true Nintendo fans" ok

jambola866d ago

It's almost like there are a variety of people on the internet with varying opinions
Crazy

Rage77866d ago

Ah yes, There are in fact many with varied opinions and that in itself is a great thing to have, what is not so great is the people who either try to either force their opinions on to you, or try to guilt you into either feeling bad or dumb for not conforming to their opinion. Or as an alternative those who dont have a valid argument and resort to either belittling others or going for low petty insults to puff their egos online.
I personally care for none of the examples above, but have seen a lot of it happen for many years now.
I stick to being around peeps who enjoy the medium (video games) and dont feel the need to crap over somebody else's enjoyment.

Metroid Prime 4 Can Be Played Like A PC Shooter On Switch 2

Metroid Prime 4 supports mouse aiming with the new and revamped Joy-Cons on Switch 2.

gold_drake84d ago

i wonder how well thats gonna work.

darthv7284d ago

mouse aiming should feel very fluid and natural to any PC enthusiast.

UnbreakableAlex84d ago

Because of the new high greedy Nintendo prices, people will play the game on an emulator on the pc or Mac anyway.

gold_drake84d ago

yeh just read about the game prices. ridiculous

84d ago
Jin_Sakai84d ago

I guess no one remembers when some N64 games were $75 and $80 back in 96.

Ps5conehead83d ago

Nintendo is a company to make money. There not a charity.

badz14983d ago

@Jin_Sakai

Keep bringing that up. You are doing a good job. Because N64 was a huge success for Nintendo and they didn't get demolished by the PS1 that gen, right?

Neonridr84d ago

I mean ultimately it means you have to play with a flat surface. Great for those people who play games at their desks on computer monitors, less so for those of us who like to sit back on the sofa and play.

But nice that the option is there at least.

lukasmain84d ago

The world's most uncomfortable mouse lol

Neonridr84d ago

I've held some pretty uncomfortable mice in my day. I'll have to try it out to see, but I'm sure they've done extensive testing with it. As long as the width is stable enough that it's not gonna tip over everytime you try to move it, then it should be ok. Plus it's a great option for those who prefer mouse style aiming.

--Onilink--84d ago

Also, there is no way there arent already third party options ready for release date where you just pop in the joy con in a more usual mouse shell, but it doesnt necessarily look uncomfortable even without that

Jingsing84d ago (Edited 84d ago )

Yeah, I said the same thing. If the mouse doesn't at least support your hands resting arch position you are in big trouble. I don't see how this would.

Neonridr83d ago

you don't think Nintendo tested this feature? They just decided to slap on an optical sensor and be done with it?

blacktiger84d ago

I been asking this for long time and nintendo is about to make all fps a mouse standard game, I hope

lucasnooker84d ago

It can be played like a real PC shooter when you’ll soon be able to emulate it on an actual PC lol

Jingsing84d ago

As long as they are smart enough to do most of the work first before releasing the emulator and then putting it in a decentralised location and repo.

Ratchet2384d ago

They just copied lenovo go handheld system.

drivxr84d ago (Edited 84d ago )

and Lenovo copied them with detachable controllers?

Jingsing84d ago

Nintendo copied Android gaming tablets that had detachable controllers that the big tech sites laughed at until Nintendo did it (Engadget, Verge etc hypocrisy). and didn't do it any better.

Metroid Prime 4 Looks Great, and We’re Still Debating If It’s a Switch 2 Game

The final Nintendo Switch 1 Direct just gave us our best look yet at Metroid Prime 4: Beyond—and it’s stunning. But here’s the big question: Is this actually a Switch 2 game? Join the NVC crew as they break down the new trailer, analyze Samus’ psychic abilities and the jungle planet Viewros, and debate whether this is a cross-gen release or a last-minute upgrade for Nintendo’s next console.Plus, we’ll discuss why Metroid Prime 4’s long development cycle (and lack of a release date) has us suspicious. Is Nintendo holding it back for the Switch 2? Or is this truly the Switch 1’s final masterpiece?

_SilverHawk_88d ago (Edited 88d ago )

Metroid prime 4 looks so dated and bland. I hate it when fanatics can't be objective because it sends the wrong message about what's good so Nintendo continues down the same wrong path. The short gameplay of metroid I've seen is enough to convince me that the game is rubbish and not worth full price. Im hoping Nintendo doesn't continue with low quality and bland looking games for the switch 2 and only relying on games brand name to sell. The switch 2 is a new generation where it's possible to have very powerful handhelds or midrange handhelds that can handle modern games with very good performance. Switch 2 shouldn't have games that resemble switch 1 games or even have performance issues like switch 1. I've seen a lot of games on ps3 that looks a lot better than metroid prime 4 and the ps3 was released 20 years ago.

Levii_9288d ago

Look i get it Switch is ancient, i hate that fact and i'm so sick of the console and can't wait to get rid of it finally for Switch 2 but you can't deny that this game isn't impressive looking running on such an outdated hardware. We'll find out soon if exclusive Switch 2 games will look just like Switch 1 remasters or something better and more, but judging by that short Mario Kart teaser... ehhhh... hmm i don't know.

_SilverHawk_88d ago (Edited 88d ago )

All i would like from the switch 2 is to be able to run modern games like gta 6, assassins creed shadows cyberpunk and others with performance similar to having medium to high settings on a pc at a stable 30 to 45fps locked and having the ability to buy all previous Nes games from the original to the latest switch without renting. I would also like Nintendo to have Nintendo online to be as good as Xbox live and psn with a proper party system and no silly friend codes

ZycoFox87d ago

It doesn't help that they don't use the latest tech, and then drag it out for 8 years when it should be more like 5-6 tops.. especially being a portable device which gets outdated quicker.

87d ago

Levii_9288d ago

It's not a Switch 2 game it's a Switch 1 game. It will be a cross gen game like BOTW was. Switch 2 version will have better framerate, resolution and texture filtering.

Plagasx87d ago

My thoughts exactly. It'll be on Switch 1.

originaljohn87d ago

I wasn't really excited by the trailer editing and no solid date given but the gameplay looks great and environments look super atmospheric. Retro doing wonders on the Switch again.

badz14987d ago

"it's stunning"

LOL the bar is really REALLY low for Nintendo. Stunning, sure...for 2010!

Metroid Prime 4 is vaporware at this point

Zeldafan64168d ago

That's why it got a trailer last year

PRIMORDUS168d ago

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