Metroid Prime 2 Remaster

The remaster of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes is reportedly set for release in early 2025, following successful reception of the first game.

  • Release Date: Early 2025 (pending official announcement)
  • Platforms: Nintendo Switch
  • Features: Enhanced visuals, quality-of-life updates, modern enhancements including improved controls and higher-resolution textures.
  • Fan Hope: Tweaks to streamline complex backtracking elements.

This news follows the success of Metroid Prime Remastered, which launched in 2023 and garnered critical acclaim. The game is expected to retain its darker tone while providing enhanced visual and gameplay experiences familiar from its original release.

It is very peculiar how Nintendo has handled the 3 games, with releases more than a year after their completion, in fact they can release them whenever they want.

What did you think of Metroid Prime: Remastered? How do you think Metroid Prime 2: Remastered will compare?

Metroid Prime 2 is the only main Metroid game I've still not completed. The whole light/dark mechanic was just so joyless and punishing. I'll still be buying this and giving it another go; a few quality of life tweaks and this could be enjoyable.

Taste is subjective and yes, you might enjoy it, but I wouldn't bet on it. Limited beam ammo makes the game unenjoyable all on its own, then there's everything else I mentioned.
