Metroid Prime Remastered is Insanely Detailed | 100+ 

"Hatchling" and "Newborn" are terms for Samus, not Metroid Prime.

Let's all hope to get Metroid Prime 2 Remastered coming to Switch

My favourite quirk with the visor is from Metroid Prime 2. There's an enemy in the futuristic area that can cripple your visuals with an energy blast, and you have to reboot your suit by holding certain four buttons down.

The scans from number 95 don't reference the Metroid Prime. They reference Samus. The chozo refer to Samus as "The newborn." because they themselves are really old to the point most of their species became infertile. They can grow thousands of years old and the fact they relied so much on technology made their lives so comfortable to the point they didn't have to raise a new generation of chozo that would do things like, hunt for food, work the fields or build new infrastructure. So the fact Samus is raised as one of them but she's a teenage/young adult made her a "newborn" by comparison.

I have a fun one for you, apparently my partner's family were friends of a dev at Retro and included their family's last name in a data log you can find in the Magmor Caverns with that big observation tower. It was kind of a shock replaying the remaster and seeing my partner's last name show up. Its the Monks of Gronq log.

Let's hope we get Metroid Prime 2 for Nintendo Switch 🙏🏻

Always blessed to see Joey uploading Metroid content ❤️

From what I know, the final boss is called Metroid Prime because it used to be a Metroid once - or still is. For those who have played Metroid 2 know that Metroids evolve and don't look like squishy jellyfishes with big teeth all the time. So I guess the Metroid originally got in contact with Phazon and then evolved even beyond a Metroid queen, which used to be the final evolutionary step of Metroids, at least according to Metroid 2. But I'm not sure if that's official lore or just something I heard once.

The bodies in space were in the original too, they were just harder to see because of the resolution

13:52 It's not actually talking about the Metroid Prime, but about Samus since "Hatchling" and "Newborn" are their nicknames for her as per the Chozo lore entries of the same name.

6:45 METROID IN THE NCU CONFIRMED!!!

The original Metroid Prime is also insanely detailed. I still remember how blown away I was when I played it for the first time. Then many years later I played and enjoyed Wii prime 3. Then the trilogy released and I was reblown away by prime 1 and I was astounded at the shear scale and amount of content in prime 2. The switch remaster of prime 1 is indeed a masterpiece...but let's all never forget that it's almost identical to the original in gameplay and even the visuals aren't as different as you might think. The effects are WAY better and much better rez textures and much more polygons but the original was some of the greatest visuals ever seen at the time. I consider prime 1 ,2 and 3 to be some of the best games ever made, and among the best games on their consoles. I LOVE seeing new players finally experience something that we old gamers new for so long. Can't wait for prime 2 and 3 remasters and of course Prime 4!. Also I want to say how disappointed I was that we got" Metroid Prime Federation Force" on 3ds instead of a 3ds remaster of the EXCELLENT DS game "Metroid prime: Hunters". Now I don't completely hate Federation Force but it's not a game to be the lone representative of Metroid prime on a console as capable as the 3ds was. Thank Ridley we got that excellent sidesscroller Metroid later on, but 3ds deserved a Prime Hunters remake. Let's hope that Nintendo realizes what could be done with today's technology and give us a Prime Hunters remaster/remake

"Hatching" and "Newborn" refer to Samus coming to save the planet in the Chozo's future visions.

I'm just glad Metroid Prime was not just ported for but, completely overhauled for The Switch. This being just a year after I came across a copy of the original, and was actually planning to stream it through the OG Wii. It was quite the curve ball. After the release of Dread, I wasn't expecting anything else. This will do until the next Metroid comes.

The mirror, oddly enough, is my favorite object in the entire game. Alas, a scientific error with the thermal visor exists. Having played with my new thermal camera this week, I found that Metroid's fish should not show up in the water (rather hot fish in game apparently), the visor shouldn't be able to see through, much less within the water. In regards to space pirate zen fishtanks, there is a memo to pirate forces to terminate their because of the potential risk of phazon madness. Yeah, space pirates have their own cats and dogs on the Orpheon. :/ My assumption is that the bio-locked doors we see in the ship and mines may be their barracks, kitchens, and recreational facilities. Also in the logs, the space pirates get Leave. Though, where they go, or what they do on leave is unknown. Probably hunt or count loot :P

This game should be the standard for remastered games.

Please let there be anything Metroid in the next Direct. MP 4 trailer maybe? Or MP 2 and MP 3 remasters? Or a new 2D Metroid? I'll take anything.

Prime 2 remaster next week at the direct?

At 9:54 as you switch beams Samus quickly takes her hand of the plasma beam! That's an amazing detail. When charging she holds the cannon in the case of Power, Wave and Ice Beams but not when chargind the Plasma beam because it gets hot as hell.

My dad loves metroid as well as me

Joey making Metroid content always makes my day! 😊

3:35 ah yes, because when you walk you really feel your hands shake, so much realism!

This is going to sound like the biggest nitpick but im sad the red and orange scannable objects dont have the artifact like logo on them anymore its just a plain blank red/orange square. I was very upset about that when I first scanned in the remaster at the very beginning of the game.

One of the things i never knew was that Samus eyes once you can see her face TURN depending on the direction your facing... there's very few games which are this well made and have so many details. One of the best games ever to be seen on a Nintendo Console, here's hoping we get Prime 2 and 3 Remastered.

Glad to see this absolutely incredible game and phenomenal remaster getting much deserved love! Anyone who hasn’t played this yet needs to do themselves a favor and check it out!

Prime 2 remake definitely coming. It’s such easy money for Nintendo and a good way to keep Metroid in the spotlight while everyone waits for literally anything about Prime 4

Ok I need to finish this game.

2:07 They did something similar. The game blinks every time you do in real life. But only if you're the only one watching.

Shame about the mirror in the remaster.

For the name mistakes in 20(3:58), it seems like that the narrator was reading the Japanese name of each region. For example, the Japanese name of Phendrana Drifts is アイスバレイ（Aisu Barei), which means Ice Valley.

On #96 the chozos were actually referring to Samus descending from the skies when flaahgra releases the toxins that make all the plant life wilt.

the x ray image of her hand in the cannon could show that her dna is alien-hybrid , giving her different, but subtle anatomy.

The impact crater not being visible isn't immersion breaking imo. The impact supposedly happened 50 years prior and planets rotate, so it makes perfect sense that it wouldn't necessarily be visible all the time.

OH! i never realized that outline to the phazon suit was a force field.i feel so dumb. Ever since i was a kid i thought it was just an art issue with how it was displayed because of the colors.

My final score (what I knew) : 93/108, not bad, some of these details were definitely a surprise!

Amazing. It's crazy that the original game only took 3 or 4 years to make.

Imagine the “Switch 2” comes out with a Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Remastered as one of the launch titles

The inside of the metroid title screen was the same as the Gamecube.

I just finished the game for the first time ever last night despite having bought it twice before (the GameCube original and Trilogy on Wii). Such an incredible ride! I hope if/when we get Echos and Corruption, they take the same love and care with them to shine them up; though rumors suggest those ports will just be simple up-rezzed versions and not remasters.

I had two 100% runs as soon as the game came out. One on Normal and the other one on Hard. I just thought I’d better beat it on Hard while I have fresh memories of every item placement. Back then on GameCube the game was unbelievable. And it stays like this even now in almost every aspect. Amazing game.

08:50 That isn't supposed to be a mirror. The ice is supposed to refract the things you see behind it, and the way it does this is by taking the currently rendered frame (also called a Grab Pass) and moving the pixels behind the ice according to some kind of refraction texture. The only issue is, it also does this to everything rendered in front of it, so you can see things like Samus' cannon or the morph ball when you move in front of it. Notice that they dont get mirrored, but stay in exactly the same orientation. This happens a lot in games, like in Super Mario Odyssey with the water in Steam Gardens.

I'm pretty sure we'll get both metroid prime 2 and 3 remastered on switch and after that is when we'll get metroid prime 4.

Crazy enough. most of these details are in the original game showing how much nintendo loves their attention to detail

Always happy to hear Joey's voice in a Metroid video

15:28 Metroid means ultimate Warrior in the Chozo language it's likely just referring to the literal Chozo meaning rather than the species they created 15:36 I doubt it i think that MP4 Samus would be more Closer to her more modern versions Rather than basing it of the Super Metroid designs an MP2 & MP3 ZSS HD Textures of the original models.

That hand gesture to select different beams is such a nice detail :O, It really deepens the lore to me :o

I just love that 6 is something I thought was for me when I first saw that I just had to clip it and I can't wait for 2 and 3 to be remastered as well.

Even though I was there at launch, it's still incredible what Retro managed to achieve so long ago.

Love this game. I played and finished the Gamecube,Wii(the Trilogy release) and now SWITCH version. Only one artifact left to find. Enjoying this remaster.

I really hope we get the sequels with this much love. Damn this is a beatiful remaster. :’)

Thank you for sharing that Mario Bros movie tidbit about the franchise’s solar system. That little detail is what makes that movie larger than life. They really went all out to hook us up with something truly special. That’s just unnecessary but it’s such a delightful find!

I thought #95 was talking about Samus? Words like hatchling and newborn feel like they would apply to how the Chozo viewed Samus, and then also - the sentence structure doesn’t make sense for them to be referring to the Metroid Prime. It says that after the plants wilt, then the Newborn will descend. The plants don’t wilt until the impact crater lands, so it doesn’t make sense for the “newborn” to be the Metroid Prime. If I’m wrong, I’m wrong, but I feel like that makes sense. Great video either way! What a time to be a Metroid fan

On the arm cannon: -The different cannons change the cannon in different ways. The power beam is the default cannon, the wave beam expands outward, the ice beam expands upward and the plasma beam elongates the cannon. Also, the plasma beam's configuration looks like radiator fins. (This carries into Prime 2 with the dark beam having the ice beam configuration, the light beam having the wave beam configuration and the annihilator beam having the plasma beam configuration). -When you hold a charge, you can see different effects on the cannon based on what the beam does. The wave beam has a lot of electrical arcing, the ice beam freezes over and thr plasma beam glows with heat, with the outer edge of the helmet glowing from the heat.

The Metroid Prime is named as such because it was originally a Metroid that was heavily mutated by Phazon. You can see in MP3 how Metroids evolve when exposed to Phazon, slowly resembling smaller version of Metroid Prime until you literally find discarded shells of actuarial Metroid Primes in Phaaze.

Yet due to the switch weird infrastructure, they were unable to get beam lighting or good visuals on the Infated visor, both of which were present in the gamecube and wii

wow this is a great video i deffinitley noticed a few different things this game looks great too!

There are two reasons, why Metroid Prime is called a Metroid. First, in an earlier state of development the lore of Metroid Prime was, that it was a Tallon Metroid, that phased into the meteor crater and absorbed massiv amounts of phason. Second, in the chozo language Metroid means ultimate hunter. And the creature is called Metroid Prime, because it is the apex predator of Tallon IV

Samus changing her hand position to change beam blows my mind for some reason

Joey’s videos are the best in this channel 👌🏻

That ravenbeak reference on 91 was pretty funny how it was used.. could've made someone spit😅

One of the best first party games on Switch, no doubt

Can't wait to see Joey talking about "100+ Details You Missed in Metroid Prime 4 Trailer"!

With regards to 20, those are the names which the original JP version gave those two regions.

my most favorite game ever!!! I almost cried when I started playing this lol

Didn't actually understand why they gave Samus fall damage in Metroid Prime: Hunters. It's kind of the only Metroid game where this happens ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(•_•)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Number 50. Those are not reflections at all. Those are mere artifacts from the way those surfaces distort the image behind them

4:04 i think the developers should hired the narrator to do the voice actor who did the narrator to do new lines saying the "canon" names.

Some of these details I never realised and find absolutely mind blowing.

The original game already had many cool details and aged so well. I was blown away back then, and Remastered did a masterclass again. By the way, it didn't really make sense to see the Impact crater from space, it's not that big 😅

This is the best remaster that I know and you can feel, how it was made with love

The narrator announcing the levels is not in the PAL Version of the game. Even in the original, it was only when going in and out of the impact crater

I think the detail I appreciate most is the force field around the suit.

Prime remastered actually lacks details from the original, and all mentioned details in this vid are present in the original. Nice vid though, even with missing details MPR is still beautiful

Yeah i did notice a lot of things that weren't in the original.

There's one thing you didn't necessarily miss, but instead got wrong. In number 31, you mentioned a planet called Dormine II. It's actually *Oormine II* with two o's. Hard to tell if it's an O or a D, right? I may or may not have made the same mistake in my first playthrough, but that was probably because the screen I played it on was a bit far from me. Much easier to see it up close (or if you, y'know, look it up).

4:05 I think were the japanese names for Phendrana Drifts and Magmoor Caverns.

Great video

4:34 they're not cowards, the data logs demonstrate that they're intelligent, well organized, and ruthless. It ultimately just shows thay Samus is so badass she can easily take them out.

I'm glad other people were sad about the missing chozo ruin mirror reflections 😂

Man the phazon suit goes hard

So many of these details were already in the 2001 release

The impact crater is older than the MP3's leviathans. So of course the radiation is stronger since it had more time to decay. Metroid Prime 3's only had a couple of months time while Metroid Prime's had hundreds of years. Red phazon is just a more decayed phazon.

I missed Metroid Prime 4

16:41 Maybe the crater seemed too large for what you actually see when going there. Also Samus went after Ridley near the blue part of the planet and nowhere near that crater.

Awwww yeah, metroid prime details. I love the rain in that game.

Hey one thing you didn’t mention is how the changed the falling snow in phendrenda drift the game cube virson the flakes were much bigger witch me personally I liked better. And on the game cube you couldn’t perform a morph ball jump?

Since Phazon is radioactive, it could be an extremely heavy element, and having an extreme concentration of it may be able to influence gravity.

You mean the remastered one? Not the GameCube version?

It's a realistic face alright; it looks like Lucy Letby's.

there is another detail that you guys forgot to add: in the original prime, during the landing sequence, the ship passes through some foliage when almost reaching the ground; in prime remastered that issue was corrected.

Hope prime 3 comes too thats the best of the 3 metroid prime games

Since metroid prime was my first metroid, i thought the disc was a basketball

Hopefully Metroid Prime 4 has lots of cool little details like these!

Thank you for this, it made my day after completing the game for the 315th time lol :)

So I think the reason why the impact crater is more orange, bigger and not quite moving in Prime 1 but in prime 3 the other leviathans are more blue, I took it as the leviathan in prime 1 had time to settle and the leviathans in prime 3 are "new", like a few years new. Oddly enough, Metroid prime seem to follow a similar trend ot Command and conquer. First game is introduction, second game we see some weird changes, third game, we are given a massive reveal. Oh and at some point two different variants are introduced. Well, atleast metroid prime will get a fourth game unlike CnC.

90 I think there are cases of branches from two trees fusing on Earth.

0:30 Looks like Jimmy Nuetron's brain blast to me 🧐

0:43 bruh I was wondering was I was 1 percent short on the scan logs.

I always thought "the hatchling" referred to Samus

Oh look, a video demonstrating the many details of Metroid Prime! Let's see if I can learn anything new! "Did you know the insides of a Metroid seen on the title screen are actually the insides of a Metroid?"
