Metroid Prime Remastered was a surprise digital launch back in early February, and has been available as a download for nearly a month. Its biggest challenger this week is Metroid Prime Remastered from Nintendo, which misses out on No.1 by just 1,000 units.

A fourth game in the saga for the Switch was announced in 2017 with Retro Studios currently handling development. The game, which differed from the previous four main Metroid franchise entries by offering a first-person perspective rather than a third-person style, was followed by "Metroid Prime 2: Echoes" for the GameCube in 2005 and "Metroid Prime 3: Corruption" for the Wii in 2007, the latter of which closed out the saga for the time being.
The original Metroid Prime was the first of a series of three games known as the Metroid Prime saga, set between the original Metroid and "Metroid II: Return of Samus." Controlling Samus Aran and her iconic power armor, players battle the Space Pirates to shut down biological experiments on the planet Tallon IV.
