Metroid Prime Remastered (Nintendo Switch)

Metroid Prime Remastered is Nintendo's revamped version of its critically acclaimed first-person adventure, putting you back in the armour of the bounty hunter on Nintendo Switch. This listing is the standard edition on a physical game card, published by Nintendo and rated PEGI 12.

A classic Metroid adventure, revamped

Metroid Prime Remastered belongs to the long-running Metroid series, and it is a game that fans of exploration-heavy adventures have been talking about for years. Nintendo describes it as a critically acclaimed first-person adventure that has been revamped for Nintendo Switch, which is exactly what the word remastered promises: a familiar game given a fresh coat of polish for a newer console.

You play as the bounty hunter, seeing the world through the visor in a first-person view. The genre tags for this release are Action and First-Person Shooter, so expect a game that mixes combat with careful movement and discovery rather than a pure shooter. If you have never tried a Metroid game before, this is a natural place to start, and if you played the original, it is a chance to revisit it with updated presentation.

Gameplay and features

• First-person adventure with action and shooting elements
• Part of the Metroid game series from Nintendo
• Revamped for Nintendo Switch as a remastered edition
• Single-player experience, listed for one player
• Rated PEGI 12, suitable for teens and up
• Text available in nine languages including English, French, German and Spanish

Because this is a single-player game, it suits long solo sessions: you set the pace, decide how closely to explore each area and take on the challenges in your own time. There is no online play listed for this release, so everything you need is on the game card itself.

Why play Metroid Prime Remastered on Nintendo Switch

This edition was revamped specifically for Nintendo Switch, so it is designed around the console rather than being a straight port of an older release. Having it on a physical game card means you can keep it on the shelf beside the rest of your Nintendo collection, lend it to a friend or swap it between consoles in your household.

It is also one of the stronger picks for anyone building a library of single-player adventures on Switch. If you enjoy games where progress comes from curiosity and patience as much as from fast reflexes, this one is well worth adding.
