If you know what to look for it's pretty evidently a Switch 1 game, but shortly after it was shown, I saw quite a few people on forums or social media comment that it "looked too good for Switch" or that we must be looking at the Switch 2 version, and that's a testament to the skill and hard work of the team at Retro.

They have a long history of technical excellence going all the way back to Prime 1 in 2002, and its great to see that continue.

I think it's dumb that this game targets 60fps on switch that's why i thought it might be switch 2. You might ask why? well i just feel like they can do way more with 30fps on really dated tech, like better ai for enemies, much better looking and bigger environments and let the switch 2 get a huge benefit by getting the 1440p/60fps version.

Remember Breath of the Wild runs on WiiU and had impressive A.I and Physics all things considered... To early to judge the quality of the A.I yet anyway.
But Metroid tends to rely on heavy scripting for it's routines so you can assess for patterns and counter.

Metroid is a game of exploration and using your analytical and problem solving skills.

I never tried prime series only super metroid on super nes  which i thought was good but nothing amazing. I wanted to try prime but i hear that its more about exploration and the combat is really bad, so that kind turned me off.

End of the day this game should have been made with switch 2 in mind and being the main focus on it.

Super Metroid is one of the best games of all time... I would love for it to get a remake that stayed true to the original.
But otherwise it's perfect in my eyes.
