The results were&#8230; not close \u2014 expectedly so, really. The North American cover held onto the top spot with 58% of votes in its favour. This was followed by Europe on 32% and Japan bringing up the rear with only 10% of the vote.<\/p>\n<p>This time around, we are leaping forward to the present day as we take a look at a release from <em>this week<\/em>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/metroid_prime_remastered\">Metroid Prime Remastered<\/a>. We&#8217;ll be honest, we still can&#8217;t really believe that this game is finally here! After what feels like years of speculation around the title <em>definitely being 100% finished<\/em>, the remaster was shadow-dropped following the February Nintendo Direct Showcase, and it&#8217;s a beauty!<\/p>\n<p>There are only two box art variants for this one with the European and North American release using the same cover. Nonetheless, we still have a duel on our hands!<\/p>\n<p><!-- cache: html:nintendolife.com\/ssl\/nintendo-switch\/related-articles:144970 @ 2023-02-13T07:14:23+00:00 --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"block object-related\"> <\/aside>\n<p><em>Be sure to cast your votes in the poll below; but first, let&#8217;s check out the box art designs themselves.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Europe \/ North America<br \/><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"picture\"><a class=\"scanlines\" title=\"Metroid Prime Remastered NA\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/571c186037774\/metroid-prime-remastered-na.large.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA1NTYgOTAwIj48L3N2Zz4=\" width=\"556\" height=\"900\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/571c186037774\/metroid-prime-remastered-na.original.jpg\" alt=\"Metroid Prime Remastered NA\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption\"><em class=\"credit\">Image: Nintendo<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This is the box art that we were always expecting for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/gamecube\/metroid_prime\">Metroid Prime<\/a> remaster. Why? Well, because it&#8217;s practically identical to the original GameCube design only, uh, <em>remastered<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this isn&#8217;t to the detriment of the overall design. Samus still stands there looking cool as heck, and the extra shine on her armour thanks to the improved visuals is enough to send a shiver of excitement up our spines.<\/p>\n<h2>Japan<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"picture\"><a class=\"scanlines\" title=\"Metroid Prime Remastered Japan\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/d3a1599a8e7c4\/metroid-prime-remastered-japan.large.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA1NTcgOTAwIj48L3N2Zz4=\" width=\"557\" height=\"900\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/d3a1599a8e7c4\/metroid-prime-remastered-japan.original.webp\" alt=\"Metroid Prime Remastered Japan\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption\"><em class=\"credit\">Image: Nintendo<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Now this is something a little more dynamic! Yeah, Samus has every right to be standing proud, surveying the space corridor of her choosing; but this is a series all about <em>action<\/em>, and the Japanese cover does a much better job of conveying that.<\/p>\n<p>Itself a remaster of the original&#8217;s Japanese cover, this one similarly nods to the game gone by while showing off some of that remastered flare. From Samus&#8217; running pose to the Visor filter over her helmet, this is selling a different kind of game. Less epic, sure, but more action-based.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div id=\"poll-which-region-got-the-best-metroid-prime-remastered-box-art\" class=\"poll\" data-uri=\"polls\/which_region_got_the_best_metroid_prime_remastered_box_art\">\n<div class=\"results hidden\">\n<h3 data-toc=\"Which region got the best Metroid Prime Remastered box art?\">Which region got the best Metroid Prime Remastered box art?
