Note these are a playlist of the boss battles in each Metroid Prime games which are the highlight:


Metroid Prime 1 (Note only goes to 1080p but still the idea of seeing the game in very hi-definition)

Ah, Metroid Prime. My favorite game series (alongside the two Fire Emblems) of the Gamecube and Wii generations. It's such a shame that Nintendo basically killed off the franchise with Other M.

IMO, it had the best and most satisfying first-person platforming in any 3D game I've ever played. Jumping around the environments was actually fun rather than a chore.

I'm curious what your system specs are. As far as I understand, Dolphin is pretty much the most resource-hungry emulator out there.

In my case, I have the following:

i7 4820k "Ivy Bridge-E"
8gb DDR3 RAM
AMD HD 7870 Ghz Edition GPU, 2gb. IceQ added extra cooling pipes and such to this card.

The Metroid Prime Trilogy runs a bit choppy for me, so I have been thinking about upgrading to an Sapphire RX 480 8gb.

I run this myself on the emulator, I own the game so I got the rom copy online so I wont f up the original.

I had the game lag on 4k with a 6700k and a gtx 970 strix but it ran fine on the 980 I had lying around.

do I wont recommend anything in the 970 range to pull off 4k up scaling on emulators in the gc range or ps2 but in the 980ti or even 1070 range you will be perfectly fine.

i wanted to love prime so bad. i couldn't get past the unmemorable warbly techno music (aside from the intro), the open environments, its need to explain the crap out of everything, and that lame rock boss thing. i thought the gameplay itself however, was pretty good, i enjoyed the movement and the shooting, etc.

when i think of metroid i recall stumbling upon draygon's layer amidst the ichor glazed walls of zebes' dark, wet meridian abyss. i also recall going down the vertical chasm of the brisntar red soil area, an organic looking vein of crimson pulse in the background with no explaination besides what one's imagination can conjur, the end of this cavern feeding you directly into the maw of a giant Kraid. when i think metroid i think dark isolation in slimy, barely-charted alien caverns & ruins, crawling with membranous, mucousy wildlife. maybe it's because i was 11 when i played super metroid and 19 when i played prime? prime was just a different beast i guess. to me it was like the 50-cent of the metroid games for the 50-cent era.

dead space got much closer to the vibe i wanted in metoid prime. i did give it a fair shake though, i didn't quit till the rock boss in the snow area. i just sighed and turned the gamecube off.

It isn't that much really. Depending of the game you can easily run on a decent dual core (~3 GHz range) + mid range card.
It has come a long way, and it only gets better.

Hmmm my computer has an i74790K CPU, 16GB RAM and a GTX 970. it run well most I tried in PC games and Dolphin, PCSX2, PPSSPP in modest 1080p and often just High preset, i am not fan of Ultra my eyes are declining with age... :p

I agree about the music, once I started playing the first video in the OP I realized I had forgotten how bad the boss music is although that is usually common, so annoyingly stressful but I loved the open environments and the scan visor, finding out more about the Metroid universe was probably my favourite part of the Prime series.

I played the first 2 games on Dolphin although I had an older computer with the first one so that lagged a great deal especially opening doors and bosses, I remember playing Ridley at 15FPS which forces the engine to run 1/4 speed so it became very easy, had a lot of time to react. :P

Metroid Prime 3 was always a bitch to get working as in the early iterations of Dolphin, the game would get stuck during the first sequence that I never found away to get past. The only solution was when I managed to save right in the beginning, tweak the settings, play around, restart and repeat. I was very happy when I got my Wii summer of 2014 so I could play MP3 without any issues (except the final boss, I never defeated him).
