Still waiting for Galaxy 2.

That one wounds me after the excellent port of the first game.

Metroid Prime 2 And 3 Reportedly Also Coming To Nintendo Switch

Though the timeframe is still unclear.

www.dualshockers.com

On one of his Game Mess Mornings show, Grubb had stated that all Metroid Prime games were coming to the Switch, but that they would do so separately, unlike the Metroid Prime: Trilogy collection for the Wii. He'd also affirmed that only the first game would be getting the higher-scale remaster treatment, while the rest would be simpler ports, likely only with controls adjustments. That was about eight months ago, but after the Metroid Prime Remastered reveal, Grubb reaffirmed his prior claim, as seen below.



He was undoubtedly correct about the first game, so it's likely he's right about the other two as well. Furthermore, him taking the time to reaffirm this means, at the least, that he's still confident about the information after all this time. The question is, when will these titles release?

Even bigger question: will we eventually get Metroid Prime Trilogy on Switch? I spent years trying to find a copy in Best Buy and EBGS for Wii with no success..

They are not going to be fully remastered? Okay. I'll by it used at half price. Thanks.

 

[vodka-bull]

hmm. The first game is the only one I've ever played, so it could be cool to finally play the whole trilogy. However, it would be disappointing if they're not getting the same updates. Are the sequels as good as the original Metroid Prime?

Metroid Prime 2 is miles ahead of MP1. But that's just my opinion.

While I loved the suit design of 2 I just feel that it's "unfun" compared to the first game at times.

3 I never finished... or got far into, I guess I just found that entry unfun too.

But I'm replaying the remake of 1 and absolutely loving it, so it must be something specifically about 3 I just dislike. I don't think I'd give it anouther chance without some sort of overhaul... I would probably play 2 again though, if only for that part where you finally get the dark suit and look awesome.

Also remaster appears to be missing the fusion suit... which is a real shame, I went though prime on gamecube multiple times using it at an unlock so I actually feel weird playing with the regular suit again.

 

[Jesb]

That's really odd. Nintendo is that parent that gives everything to their first born but nothing to the other two.

Prime 2 > Prime 1 > Prime 3

 

[HofT]

Not getting same treatment yet still released separately and at different times?

For sure, makes no sense. Like, what would they charge for them since the remaster was only $40? It would have to be way less and then the question is, would they even be worth to release?

Prime 2 > Prime 1 > Prime 3

If this was meant to look like a podium with first place in the middle…

 

[K' Dash]

Fuck that shit, give Echoes the respect it deserves.

 

[Chiggs]

Prime 2 > Prime 1 > Prime 3

Prime 2 is indeed the best. The loneliness and despair of Agon Wastes and Torvus Bog, the complete "WTF is this" moment when you get to Sanctuary Fortress, the more refined and reasonable backtracking, the better, and more plentiful, boss fights….

I love Metroid Prime, but Echoes is a better experience. Problem is that it went head to head with Half-Life 2 and Halo 2…and the rest is history.

 

[dcx4610]

Because why sell 3 games for $40 when you can sell each game for $40? Yes...I'll buy them.

Yeah, Echoes was done dirty by gamers, i don't doubt Nintendo will release a decent remaster though, they know all 3 games are high quality even if they didn't sold equally, more reason for people to play them

 

[Deerock71]

Watch them still charge $39.

$120 is less than two $70 games of lesser quality.

 

[Alkemyst]

Not fully remastered? Don't really care then

 

[ADiTAR]

While ... again.

Maybe wait until they add Fusion to GBA collection...

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

Didn't they remaster the first game? Makes no sense to remaster the first game and not to remaster the sequels.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

I would get 3 for sure, that one needs it the most.
