If you like the lore, the GC Prime has the better version of it for 1 key reason. The Chozo call Samus a "hatchling", it's a small detail but immensely important and it made no sense at all to remove it. The Chozo consider Samus to be bound to them by blood, so much so that they basically call her their child. Taking that away just doesn't make sense.
The Tallon IV Chozo have no idea what's happening on Zebes as they intentionally isolate themselves. They should have zero personal connection to Samus, so the Entrusted One rewrites make far more sense.
@@AICWYou are assuming that the Chozo on Tallon IV never communicated with any of their own species in the galaxy, like ever. Yes, they lived in their own ways, but we just don't know the full story behind their colonization and all the details in how they lived beyond a few hints here and there that they just wanted to live peacefully and connect with the world around them. But thats all we know. Maybe they knew about Samus, perhaps Zebesian Chozos contacted them, perhaps they learned about her upbringing from other sources. We just don't know. Both the entrusted one and hatcthling work imo. It comes fown to preference.
I definitely understand the different feeling gamecube gives you, it's way different than the remaster. I'm playing Echoes right now and it is WAY more immersive on the original aspect ratio and controls, even to the point where I could feel genuinely frightened exploring dark corridors. Everything feels so grounded and real in how Samus controls, and positioning feels way more strategic
Echoes is probably my favorite prime game and I’d argue one of my favorite “horror” games. I’ve never felt so much fear and anxiety exploring Dark Aether. Sometimes I’d just pause and take a deep breath before continuing
I felt that the tank controls felt different on switch because the GameCube controllers has the little divots in all 8 directions making it much easier to hit the direction you want to hit. When I first played it on switch I wanted to use the tank controls and had to plug in my GameCube controller for it to work best with me
Yeah that's a really good point, it's almost like the game is super old school in the sense that there's sort of 8 primary directions to move rather than the super fluid controls of the remaster dual analog.
This is a great video I had the same feeling too I was first introduced to the Metroid series thanks to the shadow drop of Prime remastered (I wanted to play Prime so bad when I used to watch my cousin play the Trilogy right after the direct I bought it, played it and fell in love with the series. After I finished remastered I decided to get dolphin and play Prime 1 and I noticed a lot of differences which did make it feel more heavy compared to the more fluid Switch version, getting used to the controls took me a bit of time. I too also want a remaster of Prime 2, imagine seeing Sanctuary Fortress.. :o
This is awesome, I'm glad you got to play both and it's an interesting perspective to start with the remaster and go back to the original. I agree sancutary fortress would be the best biome for a remaster, torvus bog would be cool too, I talk about these in my Prime 2 remaster vid :D
What makes this my preferred version is all the original sequence breaks being intact. These can severely cut down on the notorious backtracking and are really fun to pull off.
I agree with this as well, I used to be a "casual" Metroid Prime speed runner and would use those techniques all the time for fun. Almost all of the techniques I used are now impossible in the remaster lol
It's such a special game to have for the Gamecube and now I have it on almost every Nintendo console I own and almost every version of it, just missing the "Wii U" Version.
Metroid Pirme was my first Metroid game. I got it when i bought my gamecube for a half decent price in December 2020. Took me a few months to get into it but man it didn't take long for me to play the rest of the series from there. I always suggest Prime to my friends or any new switch owner. The game has aged beautifully. No rose tinted glasses on me. I played it when i was 18, never touched a metroid game before that(unless if you count Brawl), and played the game completely blind. I never even knew the game existed at all until i played it
This is great - Metroid Prime was also my first Metroid game, when i first played it I didn't know games like that could exist, it was so crazy to me. I quickly started playing all the Metroid I could and the wait for Prime 2 seemed like forever even though by today's standards it was super fast. It really has aged beautifully, both of them.
I do greatly enjoy the heavy claustrophobic feel of the gamecube prime games. I kinda go back and forth whenever I do my annual trilogy playthrough. A change that the remaster has that I think drastically changes how it feels to play is the fact that you are forced to do a triple burst of regular shots before a charged shot on the power beam. In every other version its a singular shot followed by a charged shot. But each subsequent charged shot can be pre charged. I honestly hate the burst fire function. I vastly prefer the manual fire of the other ports.
The gamecube version is the only version i ever have played and ever will play. I dont see the reason for the remaster, the gc version still looks amazing with an upscaler. And i kinda like the controls. I still have my original copy. Ill never forget when i got it, i always wanted a metroid game but my parents never let me have one. I really wanted prime, the dude at walmart backed me up when my mother thought it was some murder similator he said its just robots and aliens.
I played Metroid for the first time as a kid on GameCube but never beat the game. I beat it recently for the first time on the remastered version and the game is amazing.
This is such a fantastic and fresh take especially that 4:3 argument (never crossed my mind), which is so rare to find on UA-cam nowadays. My only critique is that I found no issues with the strafting. It’s a mechanic that takes time to master and appreciate over time with experience and replay.
Thank you! I don't think I explained my strafing thoughts right, I don't have any issues with it and I think it's useful I just meant it doesn't really compensate for the lack of dual analog or sharp turns much. But its useful in other ways
Nice video. I haven't played Remastered yet but I'm glad to see someone talking about this sort of thing. Subtle changes can have a big impact on our experience and seemingly objective improvements can have side effects so I get frustrated when people treat remasters and remakes as making originals completely redundant.
I highly recommend playing it on a GameCube with an HDMI adapter (BitFunx), it's unbelievable how good this game still looks. I recently beat it on Dolphin in HD and widescreen. No matter how you play it, you can't go wrong. I'm not a fan of the Wii version due to the control scheme though. MP is still my fav game of all time.
Good points, I captured this video using the GameCube disc and GameCube controller on a Wii, because I have an HDMI converter adapter on the Wii that does a pretty good job of signal boosting. Looks kind of amazing for a 2002 game.
PrimeHack is generally my preferred way to replay nowadays if I'm just looking for a relaxing stroll through Tallon IV, the GameCube version is a close #2 for all the reasons you stated. Plus, the original has the most interesting and mult-ifaceted movement in the series thanks to dashing, l-jumping, and r-jumping. Even if I'm not a speedrunner, I just enjoy utilizing the unique control scheme to perform feats impossible in the more modern games. Helps it feel unique rather than "outdated"
Not enough people appreciate these little minor things when it comes to remakes. Like there are so many games where I fully agree with the masses that the remake is way better overall, but sometimes the little intricacies get lost in the transition. I've only played Metroid Prime through on Switch, but this was still fascinating to watch because I doubt I ever would have noticed these things. When I tried playing this version in 2013, I was too put off by the controls to get very far.
Yeah it's interesting, Metroid prime remastered still used the same code base and animations for the most part, yet even then lots of little nuances can change. Full blown remakes even more so
I found that the new twin stick controls made swapping beams and visors uncomfortable the whole play through. Same with firing off super missiles and the jump button. I had to swap literally everything including the Y axis and beam/visor controls before the controls made sense. This was a process that wasn't immediately apparent until I started picking up the different upgrades. The biggest letdown however, is definitely the diamond ABXY pattern vs everything orbiting around A. Would I go back to Gamecube controls? Probably not, but it was hard to relearn what I already knew. That being said, I'm still a pretty staunch advocate for the GameCube controls for Prime 1 and 2. The Wii waggle controls from Prime 3/Trilogy never felt natural to me. In fact, turning was even harder having to pan the pointer to the edge of the screen. The free-lock felt pointless because I still had to aim after locking on. The thing that is great about Prime Remastered is that they give you more than enough options and you will totally figure out how you want to play.
I agree the controls of MP remastered take some modifying to get them to feel right, I almost made a video about this. I also swapped the beam/visor controls, you switch beams all the time vs visors so I don't get why that's not the default. I also switched the missile button. Personally I also like to remove the Helmet from the HUD and lower the opacity, I find it a bit distracting and it blocks too much of the beautiful environment. I'm really glad they included so many customization options.
Apparently the thermal visor was designed to take advantage of specifics in how the Gamecube rendered, which the Switch couldn't efficiently emulate. For similar reasons, they had to remove dynamic light sources, so your beam no longer illuminates dark hallways as it travels down them. There are some really good interviews about this: ua-cam.com/video/0oiIm5Ymu6s/v-deo.html for dynamic lighting, ua-cam.com/video/KX-9M2kiz9k/v-deo.html for thermal visor
Thanks for sharing these, I've seen some of this - I think It's really interesting to see how hardware specific features can translate to unique gameplay/graphics features.
The Remaster has the best control scheme no doubt, but that bouncing arm cannon was iconic and it's a shame they changed it. Yes, I am absolutely nitpicking.
after playing prime remastered, i decided to go on a metroid binge where i play each game in order of release. i’m currently on prime and i definitely think it has its own style and feel the remaster doesn’t, a lot of that coming down to the controller
@@crywolfplays I was hoping they'd fix it in an update, but from a developer interview they said they had hardware limitations and some sacrifices had to be made so I imagine it's not coming
I'll admit that I'm spoiled and primarily play the prime games with pc controls using Primehack these days, it feels good to control but you can definitely feel the game was designed around a slower and more deliberate control method. Enemies whose mechanics are designed around your lock-on, which is most of them, can either be cheesed insanely easily or just refuse to work properly unless you actually use lock-on.
As much as Prime 1 aged well enough that Nintendo didn’t need to remaster it yet they did for marketing reasons for MP4. I wonder if you can try to talk about Super Metroid potentially getting a remake treatment that doesn’t need.
Tank controls are a total dealbreaker. Not only for me, for many new players as well. I have friends who played remastered first, tried out the "classic" controls, and couldn't grasp it.
I think we would all benefit and it'd help heal the world a bit if we went back to Metroid Prime and played through on the original GameCube. It'd help us remember a simpler time, when gaming innovation was going strong. It'd also help us remember that the GameCube controller memes have gone too far and it's time to recognize that those controllers were great, and it's for reasons like you're describing here. Every major console controller after the GameCube stuck to some boring design. What would a kid choose between a chubby corporate Xbox controller, a sci-fi wannabe PS5 controller, or a goofy purple colorful GameCube controller they would choose the GC every time. Hopefully Prime 4 can capture some of the essence of this simpler time and take some of the "corporate" out of this beloved industry. Perfect video.
I recently played it on Dolphin using a DualShock 4. Man, it's a pain in the @ss to shoot a super missile because you have to use two buttons (X and Triangle) that your fingers can't reach at the same time. On the GameCube, it's so much more intuitive.
@@Clodd1 That makes sense, I love the setup on gamecube, it really feels like an alt-fire on your main weapon with the smaller curved Y button above it.
I bought a GC, MP and some other games in 2018 or so, and eventually felt like playing them in early 2024. They looked horrible with A/V composite cords on a HD TV, of course. I found the RetroBit Prism for GC's digital out port to HDMI, and it looks much better. But now, it seems like Nintendo likes remastering GC games. 😛 Guess it's about time.
The remaster looks amazing..don't get me wrong..but there's one fatal flaw... If you look into the mirror at the chozo ruins...you won't see yourself....
to quote knuckles... I DONT KNOW... it seems the gc version was clunkier because of the dated control scheme and slower load times, if the original game had had dual stick controls and the remaster didnt, everyone would complain.
I think the phazon looks best in the original game. I’m not feeling what they did with it in the remaster. I will say though, most of the bosses look better in the remaster. The beams are kind of obnoxiously bright in the remaster though. The old plasma beam is easier on the eyes. Samus herself looks a lot better in the remaster.
My biggest gripe with Prime remasteted is that they didn't officially support the Gamecube controller with dual stick. Otherwise, the Wii version is the worst one due to using motion controls. I find them extremely unpleasant to use.
I REALLY dont like the controls on Switch. Gamecube was amazing. The Wii version was seemless and the control was it 100%. Wii versions of Prime and RE4 were amazing to aim with.
Because the effects look better? Even iof the graphics and lighting look far better on the remaster, they ruined the rest of the effects. The beams and beam cannon forms look weird or wrong and the aerotroopers just go 'poof' when they die.
When people ask me what my favorite game of all time is, it's so hard to choose when I have many favorites, but Metroid Prime is up there.
There's just something special about playing Metroid Prime on the Gamecube and I think you nailed it!
Thank you! Glad to see someone else can relate

Expect Echoes to come to the switch as an HD port after MP4 launch.
