But rather, it was Nintendo's absolutely asinine decision to not at least port Echoes and Corruption to the Switch before release, let alone a remaster. For people who first jumped into this series, and like to do everything square and don't feel comfortable with emulation, having only the Metroid Prime 1 remaster and MP4 available to play on Nintendo's current gen console can absolutley give the player a sense of whiplash had they not known the direction that the Prime series was headed in before the hiatus. Having Corruption be playable on current gen Nintendo hardware could have had the effect of tempering expectations that people had of MP4 being "MP1 2.0" and signaled to players the fact that Beyond was going to be more similar to Corruption than MP1.

i really want to get all scans, i already got prime 1 and 2 and want to get 3 too lol.

I know logbook entries carry over into New Game+, but I’d still prefer to get 100% on a single playthrough

Yeah so….played Prime when it came out back in the day and loved it.

Just recently I played and finished Prime 4, then afterwards went back and played Prime Remastered.

Holy shit prime remastered had me pissed off. I feel like it’s a whole other level of frustrating. I’ve played through Zero mission, super Metroid, Metroid fusion, prime 4 and now Prime remastered in the past couple months and without a shadow of a doubt Prime Remastered was the least amount of fun.

In fact, I had a complete blast playing through Prime 4. I get that it’s super linear, but so is metroid fusion.

I never once was frustrated by Prime 4’s design. The entire second half of Prime Remastered I was like “oh my god really”. Just the constant backtracking and respawning enemies ain’t it.

Edit: love how you guys are here in the comments trying to explain Metroid games to me lol. I’m 40 years old. Been playing these games since before most of you were born. I know what they are.

I’ll give you that yes indeed, backtracking and respawning enemies are part of every Metroid game. It just feels really bad in Prime 1.

Keep in mind folks, this is an opinion. No need for ruffled panties and whatnot

Hi everyone, I recently stumbled a pon metroid prime remasterd at my local store and was wondering 8f it was worth it as a newbie to the series. I've never really played metroid so idk whether I'd like it so wondering if you could give me it's strong points abt the game and weak points to see if I should I buy ps ik I'm in a metroid sub reddit but I had nowhere else to ask

Recently I've been playing through the Prime series, I've gotten through 1-3 and I'm super impressed by the visuals throughout them. I love the smaller designs of the rooms in 1 and 2, which really keeps the spirit of the older games intact and allows for a lot of attention to detail. Though 1 lags a bit through the end for me, the Phazon mines personally being a low point, the Chozo Ruins, Tallon Overworld, and Phendrana Drifts all do an incredible job with each setting and are incredibly fun to explore.

The visual fidelity of Prime 2 is honestly a genuine step up I felt, even if the areas maybe aren't as memorable as Prime 1 for me, I really love the fortress with all its intricacy and Torvus which has such a great theme, and of course you can't forget the rain, which feels like it goes so hand in hand with Metroid.

Prime 3, while honestly from a gameplay side was quite difficult for me to get through... Actually has some pretty great areas with lore I felt was pretty interesting. Elysium no doubt was the high point for me, amazing music, I loved the backstory, and the whole atmosphere was so good. Second pick would probably be the Pirate Homeworld for me, with all its orange and red just feeling really heavy and what you'd expect from such a hostile place.

I haven't gotten to Prime 4 yet but I hope too soon, I know reactions are mixed but as long as there's some cool areas I will definitely enjoy it I think.

These little flying go-bots are slaughtering me

This one teleports now, so it's impossible to target it. I turned into the ball and started rolling around, randomly dropping bombs for five minutes. somehow it died.

How do I not die? Literally anything too close or too far from me just dominates me and the 2003-era save system is torture.
