Metroid Prime 4

[R0b]

Too late, Gerbik. It has no mercy.

(I still think that Metroid Prime 4 will either end up as vapourware, or more likely end up being one of those Nintendo games which slips in the development schedules until it ends up as a launch game for a future Nintendo system.)

I'm already on the list, so I can reply with:

 

What if Prime 4 is secretly Prime Hunters 2 instead of a proper Prime 

Spoiler

 

[R0b]

They wouldn't dare after the tantrums about Federation Force.

[Ninja Doctor]

Has 4 ever actually been explicitly announced?
 

edit: NM, actually red the thread. Still think this is too early to be soon if they’ve started again unless they’re just reskinning the GameCube engine.

Shit I mixed up Hunters and Federation Force. Joke ruined. 

 

My idea was that they'd see Federation Force 2 as their own potential take on the Destiny genre, a Nintendo shared online experience grindfest a go go! Instead of proper Prime.

It's understandable why this got announced so early. On the first E3 of the Switch, they announced a new 2D Metroid...for the 3DS. Announcing they had something in the pipeline for the Switch was to stop the fans from complaining there was nothing coming on their new hardware. 

 

Still way too early, mind.

I for one would welcome a Hunters sequel. It’s a title I had a lot of fun with and is massively underrated for some reason, imo. A forgotten gem.

[Ozzy Womandias]

It's basically going to be exactly that, though, right? I thought it was all but confirmed that the main baddie in the game is going to be rival bounty hunter Sylux?

[Marlew]

Can we get an IP ban for this bump

Metroid NFTs incoming!

Porting Metroid Prime Blast Ball to the switch 

[shirubagan]

I wouldn’t mind a new Metroid Prime Pinball — along with MP4 or Hunters 2 — at all. 

[Exit Chamber]

Apart from Elden Ring, this is the game I'm most looking forward to right now. Every Direct I hope for a little crumb of info and every time I'm left looking like this 🥲

Eeeh - unless they're dropping something soonish, they're best just getting on with the game and not tempting fate.

That’s the only game I still play on my DS, love the music too.

This week's episode - The Metroid That's Still a Couple of Years Away.

[Sexton Hardcastle]

Nintendo aren’t announcing a new Metroid game by letting the work experience kid who runs a developers social media hint about it on twitter.

That's what they want and expect you to think!

This is entirely it. We've now been conditioned to see hints and clues about releases and announcements in almost every small thing. It's exhausting.

While that's true, to the best of my knowledge that's completely new art...

They announced it years ago anyway.

It's a game so nice, they made it twice. Over.
