10 Beloved Video Games That Deserve A Modern Reboot

6. Metroid Prime

Team Ninja's Metroid: Other M left a sour taste in the mouths of Metroid fans. While Retro's seminal Prime Trilogy tasted as good as a nice glass of orange juice on a warm summer's day, Other M tasted like someone's shoes after a rigorous running session; it was too linear, the controls were fiddly and the story reduced Samus from a feminist icon to a woman that won't even turn on her Varia suit to protect herself from heat without her superior's permission. Retro's Prime games hold up surprisingly well today, but the thought of a new one in glorious HD is a mouth-watering prospect. A new Metroid Prime could put the Wii U's GamePad to good use by using the controller to navigate maps, scan objects, read logs and manage Samus' inventory - maybe the GamePad's screen could be used to display visors? Moving the controller around to explore the environment through the X-ray visor would be really cool. Metroid Prime and Wii U go together like a Saturday morning and a bacon sandwich. It'd be a nice addition to Wii U's growing library of quality exclusive titles and who knows - maybe it could prove that the GamePad has uses beyond off-screen play.
