This is the physical version that releases on 03-03-2023
Step into the boots of Samus Aran as you navigate the winding paths and interconnected environments of an alluring-yet-dangerous alien planet. Use powers like the iconic Morph Ball and Grapple Beam to revisit hard-to-reach areas and find a path forward. With revamped graphics, sound, unlockable art, and updated control schemes, Samus’ 3D platforming debut has reached greater heights. Calm and capable, Samus takes on this solo mission...but she is far from alone.
Explore the alien environments and eerie isolation of planet Tallon IV
Journey through the diverse biomes of planet Tallon IV as you uncover the Space Pirates’ sinister experiments and gather information about the toxic substance that left the planet in ruin. Blast forward to your next objective or take time to stop and scan your surroundings and delve into the creatures and culture of Tallon IV. From the quiet stillness of the snowy Phendrana Drifts to the magma geysers of Magmoor Caverns, this alien planet introduces beautifully harsh landscapes and labyrinths.
Upgrade your arsenal to take on extraterrestrial terrors
Use Samus’ Arm Cannon and go head-to-head against otherworldly creatures, bolstered Space Pirates, and the energy-sapping Metroids. Backtrack through areas and pay close attention to your environment to solve puzzles and get more upgrades. You’ll need the help of abilities like the Ice Beam, Missiles, and several visors to dispatch the alien threats lurking on Tallon IV.

sorted byIt is a proper remaster in every sense of the word; controls, models, geometry, animation. It's not a remake. It was developed internally at Retro Studios and clearly a lot of love and attention went in to maintaining the original art direction. They have not messed with the music. This isn't the Demon's Souls remake that made some pretty controversial stylistic choices, it is all very tasteful and in keeping with the original intent.
A lot of the graphical features they inexplicably removed from Metroid Trilogy's release have been reinstated and improved (water deformation etc.) . It runs at a pretty great 60fps like the original. There's some fantastic new particle, caustic and volumetric effects that really add the to environments. There are good accessibility options and you can use gyro controls as well as a dual-analog joystick setup that feels perfect, along with the original Gamecube layout. You can also choose to use no narration (US), partial narration (PAL) or full narration (JAP) from any of the regional Gamecube releases. You can even turn off the hint system.
It is rather excellent.

Just play the gamecube version on PC with twin stick controls and updated HD visuals.
nintendo's greed make apple look generous in comparison
Maybe I'll finally beat it!
this will change all that.
plenty of cool stuff announced at direct. This is clearly more than a standard remaster
Should it of been a trilogy, absolutely. But at least it isn't a full price release.
Was very happy to be proven wrong.
It actually looks and runs better than a lot of modern Switch games imo.
Well worth it if your a Metroid fan.
Amazing
