Remastered[edit | edit source]

The Remastered version offers several different control schemes to choose from, including a "Classic" option that mimics the control scheme of the original GameCube version, a "Dual Stick" option that plays similarly to most modern FPS games, and a "Pointer" option that uses the Joy-Cons' motion controls for camera movement and aiming, similar to Metroid Prime: Trilogy for the Wii.
