The Trilogy may be a little different as far as controls go. NOTE: I made this guide with the GameCube version of Prime in mind. Nonetheless, by following this guide, hopefully you won’t have to go through the headache that I did. Getting MPR to work on the Deck was a very tedious process. Long story short, we probably won’t ever see a Linux release of this Dolphin fork anytime soon – due to complications in porting the archaic Ishiiruka code into something that Linux can understand, according to one of the developers – but fortunately for us, we’ve got compatibility layers like Wine and Bottles to do the work for us. Plus, we have the addition of keyboard and mouse controls, as well as support for resolutions much larger than what the Switch can handle. Hence we have an unofficial remaster that would knock any official one out of the water. Well, if Nintendo ain’t gonna do it, leave it up to the fans. But, of course, our expectations got crushed. It would have made sense considering this year marks the 20th anniversary of the beloved title. There were rumors of an official remaster of Metroid Prime coming this year. If you’re like me, you were probably left with a bad taste in your mouth after this year’s Nintendo Direct. If you’ve been on the fence about getting a Steam Deck yourself, this might be enough to convince you.EDIT (): this is for the UNOFFICIAL remaster. It’s great to see that the Steam Deck is now another option to access that amazing experience. PrimeHack has been one of the best ways, if not the best way entirely, to experience the Prime Trilogy. The touchpad in particular opens the door for precise FPS controls, but if that doesn’t suit you, FabianDR says you can utilize gyro controls instead. This is their “favorite way to replay the Trilogy with perfect controls,” reporting 60fps at 3x resolution and high-res texture packs, and higher field-of-view and touchpad aiming thanks to PrimeHack. On Reddit’s r/Metroid, user FabianDR is one of those fans, showing off Prime Trilogy played via PrimeHack on their Steam Deck. It’s no surprise then that fans have turned to Valve’s new Steam Deck console, which is essentially a handheld PC, to give Trilogy a try.
This has allowed fans to experience the Prime Trilogy in a whole new way – with higher resolution, enhanced textures, higher field-of-view, mouse-and-keyboard controls, and much more. The Trilogy has long been a popular choice for emulation on PC for years, thanks to software emulator Dolphin and one of its specialized builds, PrimeHack. While another year passes without the Metroid Prime Trilogy available on the Nintendo Switch, this hasn’t stopped dedicated fans from getting the modern handheld console experience for the beloved game collection.
