Metroid Prime™ Remastered for Nintendo Switch - Nintendo Official Site (2024)

FAQs

How many hours does it take to beat Metroid Prime Remastered? ›

And by the way, to get everything in Metroid Prime Remastered it took me about 13 hours. But I know what I'm doing (I contributed to the strategy guide, and recommend using it for a 100% run!), and the Hard Mode you can unlock by beating it on Normal is worth a second go for a serious challenge.

IMO the Remaster is an absolutely beautiful game, but it doesn't differentiate itself to the point that you need to play both. I'd say it's fine if you don't want to finish your 3rd playthrough. I got Remastered despite Prime Trilogy being my favorite game of all time.

When focusing on the main objectives, Metroid Prime is about 13½ Hours in length. If you're a gamer that strives to see all aspects of the game, you are likely to spend around 17½ Hours to obtain 100% completion.

The sales success of this game is quite unprecedented, considering the other high sellers on this list like Fire Emblem Engage and Kirby's Return to Dreamland Deluxe had a few months or even a year of promotions and ads behind it.

Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Dark Echoes. The Hypermode difficulty setting in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption takes Hard Mode's place, which is continued in the Metroid Prime Trilogy release, but renamed back to Hard Mode in Metroid Prime Remastered. Hard Mode causes Samus to deal 50% less damage and take 50% more.

There are three endings to Metroid Prime.

In Metroid Prime Hunters, Samus must escape from each planet and space station after defeating one of the 2 types of bosses found in the Stronghold Voids and acquiring an Octolith. The time limit differs for each boss encounter, ranging from 8 minutes, 30 seconds, to 3 minutes.

Prime 1 isn't too difficult, outside of a some of the late game bosses being tough. 2 is tougher with more tough bosses and midbosses, and I though it was harder to figure out where you were going in general. The only certain death in the universe is Mother Hitton's Littul Kittons.

At 100% item collection, an extra scene plays after the Mission Final screen. Back inside the Impact Crater, Dark Samus is born from Metroid Prime's remains.

Changes from the original

Remastered adds multiple control options, including a new dual stick control scheme, as well as motion controls based on the Wii versions, and a classic scheme based on the original GameCube version.

Will Metroid Prime Remastered sell out? ›

Even before launch, the physical version of Metroid Prime: Remastered has been tricky to get a hold of. Preorders sold out quickly, and even since its release it's been sold out at most retailers most of the time.

The Bottom Line. Featuring gorgeous graphics, revamped controls, and a budget price, Metroid Prime Remastered gives Nintendo's glorious FPS classic the update and new audience it deserves.

Metroid Prime Remastered is a must play masterpiece, regardless of if you were there on the GameCube or if this is your first time exploring Tallon IV. Such is the quality of the original release, the gameplay holds up on its own accord, as some of the best in the genre, two decades later.

Metroid Prime contains one suit downgrade and three suit upgrades, Power, Varia, Gravity, and Phazon, respectively. The Fusion Suit is available as an unlockable cosmetic recolor.
