If I suck at shooters, would I enjoy this? I know it’s a classic and it seems really cool

Fantastic game. Sam from IGN reviewed Dread too and gave it a 9. Couldn’t agree more with these scores. Both on Switch and both amazing. What a time to be alive
RabbitFanboy
Can’t wait until next Wednesday to finally play it!

I just wanna say, to finally have this come out after years of speculation AND have it be so absolutely phenomenal, is one of the coolest gaming experiences I’ve had the pleasure of having. So cool.

I pray they do the other two. Idc if they are all 40 usd each. I just want to replay them all again. Haven’t since I hade a GameCube/wii

Would someone who has never played a Metroid game (so doesn’t have that nostalgic connection) realistically enjoy this?

I’ve always wanted to play the 3D Metroid games, and this seems perfect, but I get pretty frustrated when I don’t know what to do in games. That sort of point-and-click adventure game feeling of “How was I supposed to know to do that?!” where you have to use a certain item somewhere for an obscure reason to progress. Or games that frequently don’t tell you where to go/what to do next.
Would these hang ups severely impact my potential enjoyment of this game? Or is it more straightforward than I’m imagining?

as someone who played this with zero nostalgia, indeed it is

This game is timeless, just as enjoyable to play today.
blackandwhitetalon
Hell yeah!

Amazing game and can’t wait to pick it up. I’m one of the few people that actually thinks Prime 2 is the best in the series though so I hope they remaster that one too.

I have never played a metroid game. Looks like I’m going back to the beginning!

For everyone calling this a FPS it isn’t, it’s a FPA (first person adventure)

Metroid is just sneaking around the industry putting out some of the best games — not only on the Switch, but on any console — of all time. Seemingly effortlessly.
Metroid Dread winning multiple game of the year awards with barely any lead up or hype. And now Metroid Prime Remastered (which was shadow dropped!) appearing to be one of the best remasters ever.
Prime (20 years old), has very minor gameplay flaws when comparing to modern day counterparts, and those flaws are easily forgiven because the game was so far ahead of its time when it was originally released. The remaster is simply perfect.
Fans can speculate and worry about Metroid Prime 4 all they want, but in the past couple of years, Nintendo has proven they love this series and they don’t want to mess it up. That gives me hope for Prime 4.
(It’s a shame Pokémon doesn’t get the same care.)

Let’s just stop to think about this being a 21 year old game for a moment.

I can’t believe this game came out 21 years ago. It feels like it wasn’t that long ago when I first played it, damn. Happy to see the high review score, can’t wait to play it again.
RedRazor2098
I’ve never played Metroid, so might pick this one up.
Ishlibidish23
I’m loving the game so far this is my first time playing it too.

10/10 an appropriate amount of water.

I am trying to save money and work through a backlog, but this is *tempting.*

When it was announced I bounced around my room like a little girl, I haven’t been able to play the games since my older brother’s broke their GameCube a few years back, they were my favourite go-to game to get lost in and relax.
I just really, really hope they treat the second with as much love as they have the first, and then the third after, I’ll buy all of them!
pacman404
I was reading an article today that said Nintendo gave Prime 4 to fucking *Namco* like 5 years ago and they had to scrap it because it was garbage…like, yeah? Retro made a perfect game and you sent it to fucking Namco?!?!? What in the fuck did Nintendo think the pacman people were gonna do with it better than the people who made it????

Gamecube was peak console. It didnt have many games, but what it did have were absolutely legendary and the peak of the genre.

10/10 Too much phazon

Having never played any Metroid games aside from super Metroid – is this it chief?
Prestigious_Ad_9613
One of the best things Nintendo has ever done
Azure-the-DragonKing
Metroid dread is the only game I’ve played in the series would this be worth playing
Fenlon87
You ever sit there and think, how tf do nintendo just release bangers of this standard regularly- its incredible tbh. The quality control of their ip’s is pretty good all being said
Brentums
Is the game worth it if I’ve never played a Metroid game?
Stable_Genius21
I guess I’ll go ahead and buy it. I never played it back in the day, but I loved the original metroids on nes/snes. The first person view kinda of threw me off.
