RedmondG Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) I love the Metroid series, especially the Prime's but what is happening with it? The rumours started in 2015ish, then Metroid Prime 4 was announced at Nintendo’s E3 2017 Spotlight Livestream, and as per the Nintendo Switch, the game was under development. Then in January 2019, the short video was uploaded by Nintendo on its youtube channel, showing that the game is under development, and the project is restarted under Retro Studios but there is no announcement on the release of the game! Is this ever going to happen? Any idea when? Edited June 3, 2020 by RedmondG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demon_skeith Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) Yeah, if you read what you typed you stated that it was restarted under Retro studios, meaning all those years of waiting for it up to that point were wiped away and started over. So at this point, the wait is only long because they had to start over from the drawing board. But hey, if the game turns out awesome, the wait is well worth it.

And considering that the GBA isn't designed to fit the Game Genie, there's no way to cheat. So that's another plus.

The Blackangel Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I never knew that. I haven't touched a 3DS in so long, I honestly don't remember any of the games on it. But I have Metroid II for my GBASP, so I thought I would mention it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 There is Metroid 4 and so the franchise has moved much ahead. And in fact with PS 5 out I can imagine they adding more into their content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As @Demon_skeith said, it was remade for the 3DS and I would highly recommend it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some speculation that they may reveal something once the new console is out. I hope that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Any speculation on what this new console will be? Or how they plan to outdo the Switch? I'm curious how they plan to beat a system that can go back and forth between portable and TV console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are planning anything it's probably a mid-gen refresh of the Switch with a bit more power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
