Here’s what we know about the supposed remaster. It’s still not a guaranteed release, but given the recent report, it’s highly likely we’ll get to play Metroid Prime on Switch - possibly this year. There’s a lot to unpack with this new report, such as the game’s potential release window, features, and even Nintendo’s plans leading up to the launch of Metroid Prime 4. This has yet to be announced by Nintendo, but thanks to a recent report from GamesBeat journalist Jeff Grubb, it seems that Metroid Prime will finally be remastered for Nintendo Switch.
The Metroid franchise which began in 1986 has been so influential on the video game industry that it has partially inspired a whole sub-genre of games along with Konami classic "Castlevania" known fittingly as "Metriodvanias." These are action-adventure games that follow a non-linear structure that encourages the re-exploration of areas with unlocked abilities and upgrades.For years, it’s been speculated that a Metroid Prime remaster was in the works. There is no sign of remasters of "Metroid Prime 2: Echoes" or "Metroid Prime 3: Corruption" yet, but given the surprising nature of this announcement fans of the franchise may be expecting similar releases for its sequels in the future.
A fourth game in the saga for the Switch was announced in 2017 with Retro Studios currently handling development. The game, which differed from the previous four main Metroid franchise entries by offering a first-person perspective rather than a third-person style, was followed by "Metroid Prime 2: Echoes" for the GameCube in 2005 and "Metroid Prime 3: Corruption" for the Wii in 2007, the latter of which closed out the saga for the time being. The original Metroid Prime was the first of a series of three games known as the Metroid Prime saga, set between the original Metroid and "Metroid II: Return of Samus." Controlling Samus Aran and her iconic power armor, players battle the Space Pirates to shut down biological experiments on the planet Tallon IV.
