100% agree. Booted it up on my Switch OLED and was pretty wowed to be honest. Combined with the dual stick control scheme and I’m in heaven.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
That capture is 30fps (atm, maybe it's still processing?) despite the video having the 60fps option, better skim around the gamexplain stream.

No, I have all the systems and play everything, I don't play silly brokedick fanboy games. Hi-Fi Rush is dope as fuck, and one of my favorite games of the last couple years. Genuinely a new classic. And not an indie game by any definition, it's every bit as AAA as Devil May Cry 5 or anything else in that genre. Don't sleep on it.
Not to downplay MP Remastered, I bought it and downloaded it looks great, but it's still a 21 year old game that we've all played.

This is the best looking game on Switch. Retro Studios are wizards.

Come on, even with the upgrades to this one, technically the Switch has way more impressive stuff. The geometry complexity in Odyssey is well beyond any room I've seen so far even with way larger/more populated worlds and it's no slouch in the (shader and other) effects and polish either.
Of course subjectively aesthetically you may prefer this just as you could prefer a direct port without these upgrades if it was done, that's fine.
I'm sure Prime 4 can top this significantly if it has the right budget and the development hell phase has passed (or they haven't changed the plan with some Switch 2 making it crossgen and only 30fps instead of 60 on Switch which would be less impressive). But yes, it's a great and stylish game.

If you think about it, this is just a single generational jump in graphics. Original was on GameCube and the Switch is about the same as the PS3/360 graphics wise, though maybe a tiny bit better because of 1080p. It's also funny considering nowadays we start to get PS3/360 games themselves remastered (see Dead Space).
It's a missed opportunity to remaster a game like this on the weakest hardware available, considering the point of a remaster is to make games of the past look as good as modern games. It's going to age badly and need another remake pretty soon i bet.
Thankfully we should be able to maximize it's potential with emulation mods or something.
Yeah, i know, i'm complaining about MP getting remastered but hey.

Cool,
But,
$40 is steep, and why not the trilogy?

For God's sake have some willpower man!Buy digital now and succumb to the urge, even though i have a huge backlog..
Or wait a bit to buy physical, a better investment long term than even the stock market when these go out of production...

This IS AMAZING! LOVING IT! Using the hybrid scheme which is a mix of classic and gyro aiming, it works really well! It feels really faithful to the OG Metroid Prime but more HD. This is my new golden standard for remasters! It doesn't have that cobbled together halfassed feeling of some other remasters out there

It annoys me when they don't do this.
Hell, even if they just release them all separately for $40 each, fuck it why not. Cause we're going to have this game now on its own and never revisit the sequels....
...just like how we'll never see Galaxy 2 after they re-released Galaxy 1 by itself. And one day when MG2 comes it'll be hugely upgraded and we won't have the duo with a consistent tech experience.

Why does the suit have a buttcrack?

I haven't bought a Nintendo product since the Wii but now I will be grabbing a Switch just for this.

In a lot of old art Samus' suit from the back has a butt crack. Not sure why.
While it's scummy, makes more money if you release them one at a time.

It's purely functional. If you're in space and you have an itch, the closer the suit is to the skin the better. You can't just remove the suit or you die. It's a matter of life and death, is what I'm saying.

Hopefully there's a port you can poke a coat hanger through. Like when you wear a cast on a broken leg.

imagine if a coat hanger was the final upgrade.

I love these threads. The amount of folks that sleep on these games is hilarious to me. Probably the same folks that poopoo Zelda.
I get it…you’re 19 and haven’t played 90% of them but this is the WRONG place to complain about Metroid, Zelda, and in most cases Nintendo in general.
It’s ok to be young and wrong…you’ll mature and in that time I hope you get to develop some gaming culture.
I’ll see myself out…I have clouds to yell at

You can buy some today for $40 bucks via the Nintendo eshop

Wow these comparisons... ok I'm sold. Hopefully it holds up on my 65inch qd oled

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Somewhat random question: Does the game support the Gamecube adapter? The feel of the analog triggers in MP is something indescribably beautiful, and I want that.

Exactly. It is scummy. Why sell 1 for $40 when you can sell all 3 for $40 each.

Looks so good, but any FOV options?

Came to post this, this is an amazing work, as soon as I get some funds I'll be buying this one, I hope some patches get released by then if it needs it, I think twin stick doesn't have gyro option, well, there they got some homework

Take a look a this early tech analysis:
They remade models, textures, lighting, added different controller options (now standard twin stick are default), etc... This is not an upresed ISO, this is a complete graphical remake like Demon Souls, Spyro, Crash trilogies, TLOU Part I, etc.

I checked that out, I'm actually shocked they did that much to it, I figured Nintendo would just dump the Wii U ports on Switch.

I wouldn't complain if they did and gave us the trilogy, I normally prefer direct ports with QOL, IQ, controls and framerate improvements, but stuff like these make me wish all exhancements worked this well, I even think it's a great value for the price, I say it because I hated how they ruined WW with the HD remaster, too much bloom that made it look worst than the original emulated.

No. More like Demon Souls. Dead Space actively changes gameplay sections entirely, adds new areas, lore bits, and scenes. Dead Space Remake is more akin to Resident Evil Remake.

If this was any other corp, it would be slagged off for a cheap remake and lazy no to included all 3 games .
No doubt Nintendo will look to charge full price for it too
