By STEPHEN MICHAELS
For fans of the “Metroid” series, “Metroid Prime” stands out as the best that the franchise can offer, as it garnered a near-perfect score on Metacritic and is still considered one of the greatest Gamecube titles of all time. Excitingly, it was finally announced during a Nintendo Direct event that the first “Metroid Prime” has been remastered with new graphics and features.
Apart from graphical improvements, “Metroid Prime Remastered” introduces an updated control scheme. Also, fans can now guide Samus with the dual-stick setup that has become standard for console first person shooters, which should make it much more accessible to newcomers. Nostalgic gamers can also enjoy a controller configuration that approximates the original setup.
The announcement trailer for “Metroid Prime Remastered” on YouTube is already full of comments celebrating the release, with an emphasis on how good it looks on the Nintendo Switch. Younger gamers are also praising the decision to offer a modern control setup. Anyone interested in returning to Tallon IV can snag it now for $39.99!
