Yet Nintendo only had one dev kit with this particular CPU and, to see the problem, the kit had to be cold. 0/7- Jack Mathews NovemTo see this content please enable targeting cookies.Īfter the game shipped, Nintendo told Retro Studios that a "bad batch" of GameCube CPUs had shipped and Metroid Prime was the only game affected by them.
It's a small gesture to be sure, but a gesture that only adds to the significance of a release so anticipated as this one.My friend "an engineer" on Metroid Prime, asked me to tweet about one of the weirder parts of Metroid Prime game dev for the upcoming 20th anniversary, so without further ado. As there is no industry standard or general style guide for the inner sleeve of Nintendo Switch titles, it is entirely at the publisher's discretion whether to include a reversible cover with any physical Switch release.įans are ecstatic that the physical release of the long-awaited Metroid Prime remaster has been lovingly given this little extra touch. Both Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3, for example, featured a unique reversible cover upon their exclusive Nintendo Switch launch. The vast majority of Nintendo Switch games that do go to print with reversible cover art tend to be remasters or special editions, although this is not always the case. RELATED: Metroid Prime 2 & 3 Reportedly Coming to Nintendo Switch Previous Nintendo Switch physical releases which have featured a reversible cover image include The Binding Of Isaac: Afterbirth+ and the Switch port of Bayonetta 2 - and last month it was announced that the upcoming physical Switch release of Ys Memoire: The Oath In Felghana would include a reversible cover of its own. The majority of physical releases feature a cover sleeve with either no image on the inner side, or a non-reversible landscape-oriented image that can only be appreciated in full when the game case is opened. Reversible cover art is more uncommon than not for Nintendo Switch titles. According to pictures shared by u/LegoFan12345, the reverse of the game's cover is identical to the one first showcased in the Japanese announcement of the remaster. As u/Beneficial-Trash 3078 discovered, the physical release of Metroid Prime Remastered features a reversible slick, with the standard Metroid Prime cover art on the front-facing side, and artwork from the Japanese release on the other.
