    FINALLY!

    Just wish we could use Wii controls. That was the best way to play prime. The switch remaster was okay, but not as good.

      Oh man, Wiimote and nunchuck on Metroid Prime was incredible. So goddamn intuitive. You just… point at everything. I’ve actually been holding off on the remake because my one and only playthrough of MP1 was with the wiimote. It ruled.

        Playing the original (GameCube) is also fun. For me neither control structure is the end all be all, I just preferred the Wii version.

        The remake was visually good for the most part, but I think the original looks better overall.

        I hope they release all 3 of the original primes with the remaster before 4 comes out, but I’ll still be playing my Wii prime trilogy 🤣

      Switch remaster has a motion controls option. I quite like it. Is that comparable to how it played on the Wii?

      Yeah, Switch pointer controls were pretty YMMV, simply because the joycons themselves aren’t nearly as reliable in that regard as the Wiimotes were.

        The Wiimote worked with a pair of IR blasters to locate your screen. Joycons have no idea where your screen is. In that light, that they work as pointing devices at all is actually rather impressive.
