Metroid Prime 1 remaster reportedly launching for Switch at end of this year

Whispers of a Metroid Prime remaster for Switch have been circulating quite some time, but a new report has claimed Nintendo is finally almost ready to share the fruits of its labour, and will be releasing the long-rumoured game at the end of this year.
