To mostly everyone’s surprise, Nintendo took the opportunity during the latest direct to release the remastered version of Metroid Prime. Metroid Prime Remastered may be Nintendo’s way of not-so-subtly reintroducing the world to the IP in preparation for Metroid Prime 4, but fans certainly aren’t complaining.
In the original release, players could unlock Samus’ Metroid Fusion suit by connecting a Game Boy Advance loaded with a copy of Metroid Fusion to their GameCube. But, needless to say, such a mechanic is hard (or impossible) to replicate with the same technology today. Read on to learn if you can obtain the Metroid Fusion suit in Metroid Prime Remastered, and if so, how.
Is the Fusion Suit in Metroid Prime Remastered?
At present, odds aren’t looking good. It would seem that players haven’t found a means of unlocking the suit in this remaster. But, that’s not to say it’s not available or, if it isn’t, that it won’t ever be available. It may be infeasible to utilize the same technology to unlock the suit today, but there are means.

For example, Nintendo could easily make it so scanning a Metroid Dread Samus amiibo unlocks the suit. Or, for all those loyalists out there, they could make it so that playing Metroid Fusion on Nintendo Switch Online (when the game’s added) for a certain amount of time automatically unlocks it in Metroid Prime Remastered. Or, they could just make it available for purchase using credits like in the Wii version.
So, the jury’s definitely still out on whether this iconic suit is available in Metroid Prime Remastered. But, if it isn’t, it definitely could be added in a future update.
