Nintendo classic is now in the eShop

In a new Direct, Nintendo reveals what the Switch has to offer in the near future. A shooter classic is even coming much earlier than expected. A remaster for Metroid Prime was not only announced, but also released directly.

Available now: Metroid Prime is coming to the Switch

Samus Aran is back. In a new Nintendo Direct, a remaster for the Gamecube classic Metroid Prime announced. The first part of the trilogy still enjoys great popularity among fans. Luckily, they don’t have to wait long for their return on the Switch. Nintendo has released the digital version of the shooter without further ado.

Metroid Prime Remastered is available now on Nintendo eShop. The price is 40 euros. A physical version of the game is also said to be coming. However, fans will have to wait until March 3rd (source: Nintendo).

Still silence on Metroid Prime 4

Revamped features of the remaster include nicer graphics, improved sound and new control options. However, it is up to you whether you want to use the new double-stick controls or guide Samus through the alien planet in the same way as he did on the Gamecube.

Of course, many fans will prick up their ears when they hear the name Metroid Prime. After all, Nintendo announced a sequel to the trilogy five years ago. However, Nintendo also reveals in this Direct no new information about Metroid Prime 4. Since development restarted in 2018, there has been silence.

After all, Nintendo is now slowly revealing more and more About The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. A new trailer for the Switch hit shows some insights into the story and Link’s new abilities.
