what the is this switch 2 no way switch 1 can do this??

 

[Robb]

Metroid Prime Remaster is the best looking Switch game I’ve played, and I assume it was built on the engine for Metroid Prime 4, so I’d expect no less.

That said I’ll get the Switch 2 version.

 

[Thebonehead]

That is vile - Horrible aliasing everywhere

 

[Embearded]

It might be the best one out there but its far from being a nice looking game.
I get that the device is pretty weak for 2025, but let's not pretend the game looks great.

Just use AMD RSR and all the jaggies will be gone.

ahah no all this flavors and you choose salt

 

[Puscifer]

I thought it looked amazing for a switch game. Really shows you how much ART STYLE works in place of muh graphics

 

[analog_future]

Image quality is atrocious but the art direction is fantastic.


Makes me believe this will be a stunner on Switch 2 w/ that higher resolution.

 

[Blitzkrieg!]

PS4 level graphics. Not bad for that lil toy. Excited to see it on Switch 2.

best image quality on switch annnnnnd 60 fps

 

[analog_future]

Definitely not PS4 level graphics, especially at that insanely low resolution.

It actually reminds me of Halo 4 on Xbox 360:

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

It showed very impressive for a Switch game, no question.

 

[Turk1993]

Halo 4 on Xbox 360 looks better, and that game was released in 2012 on a 7th gen console.

Definitely not PS4 level graphics, especially at that insanely low resolution.

It actually reminds me of Halo 4 on Xbox 360:

You beat me by a min lol.

looks like crud compared to op and was 15 fps annnnd fake thirs is the 360 versions im sorry i must tell the truth my friends

 

[Xaeroxcore666]

On the OLED screen will look georgeus!

 

[RodriGames40]

Definitely not PS4 level graphics, especially at that insanely low resolution.

Definitely better than Halo 4 but not by much. Totally tracks, considering this is a 0.2 tflop console.

 

[Puscifer]

best image quality on switch annnnnnd 60 fps

Hell in some respects I think it looks better than Stalker 2 but that's none of my businesssssssssssss

 

[Robb]

Makes sense. I’m pretty sure I read RETRO Studios hired people/artist(s) who worked on Halo 4/5 as the lead artist(s) for Prime 4.

 

[analog_future]

looks like crud compared to op

Nope.

 

[lughnasadh123]

Didn't look all that impressive from a tech standpoint or even art direction but I also don't suffer from Switchvision.

 

[Synastry]

Congrats on catching up to the last of us graphically

Spoiler

(ON PS3)

 

[Muddy]

PS4 level graphics. Not bad for that lil toy. Excited to see it on Switch 2.

PS3 level graphics.

PS4 launched with Killzone Shadowfall. Not even on the same hemisphere.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Halo 4 on Xbox 360 looks better, and that game was released in 2012 on a 7th gen console.

You beat me by a min lol.

Halo 4 should look better. It runs at 30fps. Prime 4 runs at 60fps.

 

[fallingdove]

No. Game looks like shit. There are plenty of great looking games on Switch, in 2025, this is not one of them.

 

[LordOfChaos]

We've poured over every pixel dawg

It looks like MP Remastered with very slightly more polish. It does not look like a Switch to Switch 2 leap which would be much larger. It 95% looks just like the MPR engine, which should mean Switch 1 at this detail and resolution, which is great news that the Switch 2 can do more.

 

[Xaeroxcore666]

Halo 4 on Xbox 360 looks better, and that game was released in 2012 on a 7th gen console.

Compared them side by side, and yes....I´m suprised by how similar they look. In other hand, Halo 4 graphics on a 2017 hybrid console, doesnt sound bad, specially if you play on OLED Model...But yes, not the top graphics on Switch, i mean Doom Eternal, Witcher 3, Luigi´s Mansion 3, MK 11, No Man´s Sky or Dying Light would be impossible on 360, no matter the downgrade, at least on their original graphic engine...or not?

 

[64gigabyteram]

Definitely not PS4 level graphics, especially at that insanely low resolution.

It actually reminds me of Halo 4 on Xbox 360:

I was thinking it looked like a halo game LOL

I was thinking more Halo 3, but that's mostly because I haven't touched Halo 4 much

 

[Gryllis]

Looks like a remastered Gamecube game to me. But Metroid Prime Remastered is one of the best looking games on Switch, so I suppose that is the target.

 

[Blitzkrieg!]

PS3 level graphics.

PS4 launched with Killzone Shadowfall. Not even on the same hemisphere.

After reviewing the tape I’m going to revise my statement… to Metroid Prime 4 on Switch looking BETTER than PS4 games such as this:



What is that, 15 fps?

 

[Turk1993]

Halo 4 should look better. It runs at 30fps. Prime 4 runs at 60fps.

Switch is almost 2x (500 Gflops docked) as powerfull as a Xbox 360 (250 Gflops) with better cpu and newer architecture. So it should run and look better. And its not our fault that Nintendo is using super low end hardware for there consoles.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Looks like......


A switch 1 game.

Cleary your trolling at this point and everyone can see it. In what world does MP4 look anywhere near KSF?

GOTY

 

[Lootlord]

Uncompresed, no AA, no AF.

 

[Fermbiz]

Its the Halo killer we've all been waiting for.

 

[Moses85]

Definitely not PS4 level graphics, especially at that insanely low resolution.

It actually reminds me of Halo 4 on Xbox 360:

Yes, because members of the Halo Team are working at Retro.

 

[Blitzkrieg!]

Why are you getting so emotional about my subjective opinion of graphics?

 

[IFireflyl]

ahah no all this flavors and you choose salt

 

[analog_future]

You make ridiculous claims, you’re going to get fired up responses.

 

[drotahorror]

Curious how Nintendo will go about people buying MP4 on Switch. Will it get the Switch 2 upgraded res when you play on a Switch 2 or will you have to buy another copy? I'm guessing the latter cuz...Nintendo.

 

[Synastry]

Why are you getting so emotional about my subjective opinion of graphics?

No one is getting emotional you made a claim that everyone can see is BS and others have called you out as well.

 

[Blitzkrieg!]

You make ridiculous claims, you’re going to get fired up responses.

Nothing I said was ridiculous. It’s not like I said, “PlayStation has tons of great games.”

 

[VeganElduderino]

looks good! but I still think Mario Kart 8 is the best looking switch game!

 

[GigaBowser]

After reviewing the tape I’m going to revise my statement… to Metroid Prime 4 on Switch looking BETTER than PS4 games such as this:

yes it's all true prime 4 is 60 fps doubles the rendering

GORGEOS

 

[Schmendrick]

Is that a joke my {insert any stationary hardware of the last decade} is too powerful to understand?
*Yuck*

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Some people are beyond helping.

Ooooh you’re a console warrior lmao. Okay not going to bother engaging with you

The second screen is Halo 4, not 3.
