12 Legendary Titles Getting a Modern Makeover Worth Playing

8. Metroid Prime Remastered

Packed with moody alien worlds and satisfying exploration, Metroid Prime was already a legend—now, the Remastered version makes it feel timeless all over again. The Switch edition dramatically sharpens up the visuals and repairs some notorious control quirks, letting you glide through Tallon IV as Samus Aran with all the freedom and flair of modern FPS games. Every atmospheric note and subtle environmental clue feels crisper, keeping fans spellbound while welcoming new explorers, too. Updated twin-stick controls (finally!) and remastered music give the game a brand-new energy, but its intricate level design and lore stay firmly rooted in what made the original a classic. There’s no gatekeeping here—if you’ve never tried Metroid before, this is the perfect entry point. For returning intergalactic bounty hunters, it’s the best kind of homecoming, with every secret just waiting to be uncovered again.
