Topic: Metroid Prime 1 Remastered

@StarPoint Yeah I knew where the setting was at, just assumed it wouldn't work with the Pro controller for some reason. >.< lol

@Joeynator3000 Oh yeah thankfully it does, it would be a nightmare without…

If only Nintendo would fix the stupid joycons already, but nope. xD

@Joeynator3000 Yeah I think at this point there’s no hope for them. But at least we have ProCons which just so happen to be pretty high quality and fit my hands perfectly

@Ryu_Niiyama
Let's see some pics when it's done!

@neonpizza
It is. I'm not a retro collector. I typically don't buy reproduction cases but with the market prices where they're at now, near mint would cost $2k for all games. I have authentic Fire Emblem GBA games sealed and Mega Man 3 on NES, but aside from that everything is GC/DS onward. Quality is pristine though. Etsy is where I went. $25 for all of them. Best decision I ever made. If one day I can score all games in near mint for $500 total, ok, but that day will never likely come. And since they're just gonna sit on display anyways, why not just go for repro. They look flawless. Just check reviews and user pics to see who has the good ones.

@Joeynator3000
That was always there. In fact it leads to a massive area you'll visit later.

@StarPoint
I just got to Phendrana Drifts myself. This remakester is just spectacular. Might go down as one of my favorite releases of all time. Heck, there's no "might" about it. It is and has. It's up there with Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak, Fire Emblem Three Houses, Awakening and Engage, Zelda BotW, Portal 2, Persona 4 Golden and Persona 5 Royal, and Metroid Dread (hopefully can add Pikmin 4 to that list soon). They nailed it.

@JaxonH I know about the area, but yeah I never seen that small tunnel before...weird. I was expecting a new area or something. xD

@JaxonH Ha, remakester is the perfect word to describe this game. It’s such a huge overhaul of graphics that it’s kind of hard to just call it a remaster. And yeah, OG Prime is like my 4th favorite game of all time, and so far I can absolutely say that this is the definitive way to play. So many control, audio, and video options, plus a tonnn of extra gallery content. I’m so happy this turned out as well as it did.

As for me, just took down Thardus, making me think, were those lightning bolts ever supposed to actually hurt you? Or are they just...there? xD

You'd think that he'd start sending multiple bolts out at you after that part or something. lol
But yeah, never really thought about it before until now.

My pro controller is broken so I have to choose between third-party controllers and joy cpms sadly.

....OMG how am I getting lost in this game?! I can't remember how to get to the mines, has it been THAT long since I played Trilogy?!....on the Wii U...yeah okay it has been a while. lol
EDIT: Okay I'm good now, I remembered things...xD

@HotGoomba I picked up a Zen Pro Controller from Target and I love it. I even like it more then Nintendos own pro controller. I personally can't wait to try it on Metroid Prime.

Bought it and spent most (all?) of Friday night playing it.

The dual-stick controls - what a game-changer. The game how it was meant to be played, at a minimum - haven't tried the gyro controls yet but I'll get around to it.

This is an incredible remaster - well worth the almost 60 bucks!

@Weapon_Wheel If this remaster tells us anything of what Prime 4 is gonna look like, I’d say it’s looking very, very promising. Retro certainly hasn’t lost their touch after 8 years not releasing anything

Looks like initial preorders sold through on AmazonNA and shot up to #1 best seller.

The hype is real.

I wanted to take advantage of Target's Buy 1 Get 1 50% off but it sold out there, too.

So tell me everyone. The chances of the entire trilogy being Remastered is basically a sure thing right?

...It better be.

@Truegamer79 I wouldn't necessarily say so, maybe after Prime 4? I mean, i guess there are gonna be more remasters, but it might take a little while

@Solaine
Exactly.

Word is the other two may or may not come, but if they do they'll be more HD ports. That could change if Prime Remastered sells like crazy, but even then I'm quite sure they'll be years off.

They won't wanna burn people out before Prime 4 releases. Last thing they want is to release 3 different Prime remasters before Prime 4, then have everyone skip it because they've had their fill already.

If the other 2 are coming, my guess is it'll be at least 2 years after Prime 4- probably in the middle of the Switch 2 generation.

I feel like Echoes should get the Remastered treatment like with this game, but Corruption may end up being a normal HD port or something.
