Metroid Prime Trilogy PC Control Scheme: Everything You Need to Know

----------------------------------------------------------

The long-awaited release of Metroid Prime Trilogy on Nintendo Switch finally gave fans a taste of classic Metroid gameplay without having to dust off their GameCube or Wii consoles. However, many were left wondering if this critically acclaimed collection would ever make its way to other platforms - specifically the PC.

Fortunately for us, we can now experience one of gaming's greatest franchises in high definition on our desktops and laptops thanks to a recent announcement from Nintendo themselves. But what about those who prefer using their keyboard or mouse instead of controllers? Fear not! In this article, we'll dive into everything you need to know about the Metroid Prime Trilogy PC control scheme.

Before diving into specifics though, it's worth noting that if you're coming straight from playing these games on Switch (or any other console) there may be some initial adjustment period as getting used to controller-free gameplay takes time and practice. That being said - let's dive right in!

The default keyboard controls for Metroid Prime Trilogy PC are:

W: Move forward

A: Strafe left

S: Jump/ducking crouch (hold down while pressing A or D keys)

Spacebar: Fire missile/RPA launcher (Rapid Plasma Blaster Assault Rifle... yeah, Nintendo)

Mouse users will be happy to know that the mouse can also be used as an alternative control scheme. To enable this feature go into Options > Controls and select 'Controller' from the drop-down menu at the top left corner of your screen then scroll down until you see 'Gamepad/Mouse Control'. Checkmark the box next to it.

For those who prefer a more traditional controller feel but don't have an actual controller lying around, there are also plenty of third-party options available online that mimic the feel and layout of Nintendo's own Gamecube Pro Controller perfectly well. Some popular choices include:

* Logitech F710 Wireless Gaming Pad

* MadCatz FightStick Elite (with fightstick attachment)

And many more!

It should be noted however that some features like vibration haptic feedback may not work correctly depending on your specific hardware and operating system configuration.

Overall, the Metroid Prime Trilogy PC control scheme offers a great balance between classic controls from previous generations while still feeling modern enough for today's gaming audience. Whether you're an old-school gamer looking to relive fond memories or just discovering this beloved franchise now - with some patience and practice under your belt (literally speaking), you'll be slicing through hordes of alien enemies in no time!
