We don’t know what kind of control schemes Metroid Prime on Switch will offer, largely because the game still hasn't been officially confirmed, but there’s a good chance it will have some gyroscope support - it just won’t be very accurate. The House of the Dead: Remake made a fairly strong attempt to replicate the light gun experience with the Joy-Cons, but it was pretty unreliable, and required you to compensate with a hybrid layout that used the thumb sticks to help you be more accurate. Gyro Sensors are not very good at tracking point accuracy however, so shooters and light gun-style games can’t really use them. This works pretty well for one-to-one motion, though even Skyward Sword required frequent recalibration to keep it accurate. While the Wii and Wii U hased an infrared sensor bar to track the position of the Wii Remote, the Joy-Con uses a Gyro sensor to measure movement. If you played Skyward Sword on the Switch, the differences in accuracy and useability are obvious. I suspect the Switch version will have some motion control options, but it won’t be the same. The Switch version of the Trilogy will offer portability and enhanced graphics, but it will necessarily lose the motion controls of the original Trilogy collection, and that’s such a shame. I believe the Prime Trilogy’s motion controls - which were introduced in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and retrofitted onto Prime 1 and 2 for the first Metroid Prime Trilogy bundle on Wii - are the superior, and I’ll go as far to say the correct way to enjoy these games. Now that praise has been heaped, allow me to get a bit controversial. Related: Metroid Dread Mastered The Illusion Of Exploration More than a spin-off, Metroid Prime feels like a logical evolution for the series, and I have always hoped we’d see it continue on much like 3D Mario, Zelda, and Sonic have. Metroid Prime maintains all of the exploration and puzzle-solving qualities of the original series but shifts the perspective into first-person for a more immersive and action-focused experience. The last time I replayed them was on the Wii U in 2015, and my love for the series only grew stronger throughout that playthrough. Come on, Samus, Get a move on.I’m ecstatic to revisit the Prime Trilogy on one of my favorite consoles. GameCube games aren't that common on Switch, so Nintendo would skyrocket in fans' books. Whatever it is that Nintendo chooses to do, the arrival of a Metroid trilogy (in whatever form) will surely be met with a lot of love. Another option would be to add them to the Nintendo Switch Online packs if they choose to add GameCube and Wii games to the service. The gaming giant can either elect to release the games individually or as a bundle before the launch of Metroid Prime 4. Right now, we can only guess when the two games will land on Switch, but there are two options that Nintendo could take to. When Could Metroid Prime 2 & 3 Come To Switch? Referencing a GiantBomb clip on Twitch, Twitter user Max Wright says, "When first spoke about Metroid Prime Remastered, he also said that his understanding was that Prime 2 & 3 would also be on their way, just not fully remastered." Jeff Grubb has responded to a Tweet that implies that Metroid Prime 2 and 3 are still coming, but perhaps not with the new lick of paint that the first game received. For a while, leakers and insiders have maintained that all three existing mainline Metroid Prime games would be coming to Switch, and the reveal of Metroid Prime Remastered has thrown these claims into the aether.Īs we sit and wait, one insider holds firm in his belief that they're still coming.
