Anyone with the foresight to pre-order this physical version of Metroid Prime Remastered could have secured such a price before release by visiting one of the smaller video game specialists. However, this is the first time we’ve seen Amazon match that price.
Apart from the convenience factor, this is good news for accessibility. A physical version of Metroid Prime Remastered has been pretty hard to come by since publication, so having a source like Amazon selling the game at a highly competitive price will hopefully help.
The digital version of Metroid Prime Remastered was unexpectedly released shortly after its announcement at the last big Nintendo Direct event last month. This highly desirable physical version was later dropped.
It’s fair to say it was a critical smash. The original GameCube game is widely regarded as one of the best games ever made, successfully reimagining the Metroid side-scrolling first-person shooter series.
This Remaster is not a cynical reissue. Instead of simply emulating the original or upping the resolution, it’s been completely rebuilt using a new engine with new and improved assets and a frame rate of 60fps. The developer has also included redesigned controls to be more in line with the expectations of modern gamers.
Mark our words. Metroid Prime Remastered will be in the Game of the Year countdown in December. The fact that it can now be had for less than half the price of most new triple-A titles is amazing.
