![]() Wii-style pointer controls using a detached pair of Joy-Cons are included as well, emulating the controls used in the Metroid Prime Trilogy on Wii. ![]() That’s not ideal on either controller setup, but it’s especially cumbersome on the Joy-Cons because those buttons are so small and close together. Of course, all shooters that use triggers are less comfortable on the Switch’s Joy-Con-attached setup, and Prime does have one odd quirk in its default controls that make you hit both the trigger to charge a shot and the shoulder button to fire it. You can strafe, jump, dodge, and control your view with so much more dexterity.Īnd while I mostly played on a Pro Controller, the fact that Metroid Prime is portable is still mind-blowing, if less novel six years into the Switch’s life.

Each room has a purpose and a name, with details that make no two places quite alike.

Insider Gaming speculates that a Nintendo Direct could be on the horizon, especially considering a new OLED Switch model for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom just leaked too. Giant Bomb previously mentioned improvements would be more notable in the first game compared to Echoes and Corruption (the second and third installments, respectively). The reported remasters for the three Metroid Prime games could include dual-stick and gyro controls.
