Metroid Prime was a revolution for one of Nintendo's most beloved franchises. The transition to the first person made us really feel like Samus Aran, and all without losing the essence that Metroid had built over the years.
The video game Metroid Prime turned 15 years old on March 21st since it premiered for the first time in Europe. In all this time, we could think that the work done by Retro Studios, in collaboration with Nintendo, has suffered over the years. However, our surprise has been capitalized when we revisit it and realize that the magnificent criticism that was carried out at the time are more than substantiated. It is a classic Gamecube title.
The video game supposed the entrance of the Metroid franchise in a new and unknown level: that of the first person shooter. But he did it with his own perspective, respecting the iconic keys of this great saga. The American study recovered the exploration that Samus Aran likes so much, as well as his powers, the difficulty and the presence of bosses.
All, of course, from a renewed perspective, that of placing ourselves inside the helmet of the galactic heroine. This made us think in 3D, especially when deciphering the labyrinth maps, but also at the time of aiming with the plasma beam towards our enemies. All with the potential of one of the most technologically advanced consoles of the moment. Gamecube gave us a Metroid Prime that would soon be missing to be released today. Maybe a facelift, because it playable practically feels like the first day. We tell you the details in the video report we have prepared, also to pave the way for the premiere of Metroid Prime 4, which should not take long to get to Nintendo Switch.
