Would you pay 60 bucks for a Metroid 1-4 compilation on Nintendo Switch?

if LRG put only metroid 1 on a physical switch card with some extras added like a museum and some trinket it would sell out. so i think people would love the chance to own the legacies physically.
Download obv doesnt make sense if a good chunk of the games is already free on NSO

Considering Zero Mission alone will run you upwards of $80+ online, $60 is a fucking steal for a 2D collection.
It's a fucking shame that you either have to own a Wii U or a GBA and pay exorbitant secondhand prices to reasonably play the series.

I'd pay $60 for Metroid 1-4 plus Zero Mission & Samus Returns. It's Nintendo though, so it'll be an upscaled port of Samus Returns for $60 by itself.
I own all four titles.
Metroid (NES), Metroid II (GB), Samus Returns (3DS) and Super Metroid (SNES) all on the 3DS.
Zero Mission, Metroid (Classic) and Fusion on GBA.
and I have access to the Switch NES and SNES collection for yet more ways to play Metroid 1 and Super Metroid.
And I would buy them all again for $60 on the switch. if for nothing else than having them all on one console makes replaying them easy. I Just completed a replay, in anticipation of DREAD, and it was kind of a pain to swap back and forth, with screen sizes being the main frustration.

I wouldn't, since I have no interest in replaying/rebuying Super (I already have it on pretty much every conceivable platform it's been released on) or SR. I could see Nintendo releasing Fusion and Zero Mission for like $15 each on the eShop or as a bundle for $25 though.
I'd gladly pay $60 for a collection that included ports of the NES and GB original versions of 1 & 2 along with the GBA and 3DS remakes (and SM and MF, of course).
Most of these games are too widely available for them to be worth this kind of money. Furthermore, there is no room for significant remaster improvements (outside of maybe Samus Returns, which I haven't played but have little interest in since I just beat AM2R for the first time recently).
I'd be a thousand times more interested in Prime 1-3 port with upscaled graphics. I don't own a copy of Prime 3, and I can't emulate GCN as easily unless I want to sit down at my PC.

$60 is a lot, particularly considering one of those is already available on SNES Online.
Throw in the OG Metroid 2 (and I guess NES Metroid though that's part of Zero Mission right?) and I'd probably pay $40 or maybe $50.

Without hesitation.
Congrats on your shiny new copy of Metroid Prime: Federation Force!
I'd love an enhanced collection of Metroid I-IV with the following:
But I'd equally be just as okay paying a smaller amount for each game individually with the bare minimum done to make sure they look good on a modern TV.
- Metroid: Zero Mission: Graphics reworked to fit Modern HD resolutions, optional borders, fully restored OST.
- Metroid: Samus Returns: Graphics reworked to fit Modern HD resolutions, option to play the GB original if you really want to.
- Super Metroid: HD Resolution ready, optional borders, QOL changes so you don't have to press Select 6 times to cycle through everything, new optional ledge grab feature even if it breaks the game.
- Metroid Fusion: Graphics reworked to fit Modern HD resolutions, optional borders, fully restored OST.
- Optional bonuses: Soundtrack mode, concept art, interview with staff and creatives from each game.

The Pixel Remaster approach where you try to capture the spirit of the originals, but with widescreen and enhancements, is by far my favourite approach. So yea please.
I voted no because your question doesn't work with the responses as to select the second and third options would both say, 'Yes I would pay $60 but it would have to be cheaper.'
But I would like a collection in Widescreen for less than $60. Prime Trilogy first though please.

Think you'd have to be a bit of a mug to pay 60 quid for a collection where the best one is already included with NSO
let alone whatever is going on between the second and third option lol

Yeah, we're talking no lag here!
For Super Metroid, Zero Mission, and Fusion, you get the option of playing them in their original format or crisped up in 1080p x widescreen. Samus Returns would also be boosted up in resolution.
I too want GBA to go to the NSO service. Hopefully in September.
When Nintendo likes my proposal enough and makes it happen, I'll let you know! :)
Right on!
Nice, and yeah, I want Prime Trilogy, too!
Smart choice!
What if the game comes with chips and dip!?
That'd be a great scenario.
LOL, great response! I hope the majority are like-minded.
I think Prime Trilogy is gonna happen...maybe 9 months before Prime 4.
It'd be great to get those two on Nintendo Switch before too long.
Good, reasonable.
I'm with you!
Yeah, Nintendo could easily sell me on a big 2D Zelda or 2D Mario collection, too.

Two of those four are available on the current NSO service, so Nintendo doesn't hold opinions of them as being worth too much, stand-alone, nowadays. Though with an optional upscaling mode and bundled in with Samus Returns, I think a $59.99 price tag is pretty attractive.
I do agree in wanting to see at least one game, Super Metroid, eventually get the complete remake treatment. Of the same style and art as before...basically super pixeling the game up. Not hand drawn, not polygonal, but an incredible amount of detailed pixel-art approach with animations to follow, in wide screen and 1080p. I could really get behind that.
Yeah, I have Zero Mission and Fusion, too...but NS has become such a dominant console in my life that I really want them on it.
My thoughts too! Haha.
Fair enough!
Thank you! Samus Returns really should have come out on Nintendo Switch, alongside the 3DS version. It wasn't in the cards, but it would have been so good. Great game and I hope the next time I play through it, it's on NS.
Well I would get it too! When one of those games is a $40 title though and it's being HD'd up, with the other three also having optional viewing modes, it's worth $60 to me. :)
Which one do you not have?
What if the GBA and SNES Metroid had some cleaning like in the SNES Classic Edition and then some, without overdoing it?
I think Fusion and Zero Mission are great ones that more people definitely need to play.
Three out of the four, and without polishing, yes...but add a spruced up Samus Returns and I think it's worth$60.
I hope so too!
Good!
60 it is!
This poll and thread will serve as the official petition to Nintendo! Thank you for participating.
I'm sorry, I completely goofed. I thought this was about prime 1 - 4. I'm sorry, I should have read the thread.
Only $60? I'd happily pay $100 for it, Metroid deserves it.
I don't like the remake of Metroid 2 at all, so probably not unless it included the GB original
