He also said it's possible dual-stick and gyro controls could both be included, and the improvements will likely be greater in Metroid Prime than in 2 or 3.

Metroid Prime Remastered is reportedly only a few months away, with remastered versions of the second and third games also planned.Īccording to Jeff Grubb of GameSpot's sister site Giant Bomb, Nintendo is planning to release Metroid Prime Remastered this holiday season, likely to match up with the 20th anniversary. Of course, being a Metroid game you can also safely assume that you'll accumulate new powers and upgrades throughout the game, to get access to new areas and to help you get past obstacles you might have noticed hours before.At long last, it appears the Metroid Prime trilogy is finally coming to Nintendo Switch. Hopefully, Prime 4 will involve plenty of hopping between planets, like in previous games, and puzzle-solving to go with the combat, something to break up the pace nicely.

This would chime with the default control scheme in Metroid Prime Remastered, too. We'll therefore be interested to see whether Nintendo persists with motion controls, or simply makes a standard first-person shooter that you control much as you would Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, for example. However, the way the Joy-Cons work on the Switch is a little different to the Wii's remote, in particular with no light sensor for consistently accurate placement. The Wii-era trilogy of Prime games all came with motion controls that were revolutionary for the time and still hold up surprisingly well if you can get hold of them now. We would very much assume that Metroid Prime 4 will also be a shooter, therefore, since anything else could just be rebranded to something like Metroid Dread.
