So if this isn't Retro's project, then what the hell are they doing? And why didn't they announce anything at E3? It's been nearly 4 years since Tropical Freeze!

Somebody PLEASE put the metroid logo and reggie face on this gif LOL
 
Guys I remember beforehand there were conflicting rumours about new Metroid. Some people said it was a 3DS game, some said it was for Switch, some said there were two. Some mentioned a developer in Europe.

We know that MercurySteam (a European developer) are working on the 3DS Metroid game.

There's a chance this may be a mixup like all the Hey Pikmin/Pikmin 4 and Pokemon Stars/Ultra Sun and Moon stuff. Let's not lose our heads.
 
OH MY FUCK JESUS WHAT THIS IS REAL FUCK MY DICK UP HOLY SHIT I NEEEEEEED TO BUY A SWITCH I CAN'T NINTENDO U DA BESS JJJJFJFJFJFJFJFJFFJJHHGGGAHHHH
 
Funny how people see things different ways. I'm way more hyped that Nintendo is doing this in-house and Retro's game STILL hasn't been shown - they must have something big.

The Prime guys you want working on this game aren't at Retro anymore, accept it.

If they're 4 years out, it's definitely not another 2D Donkey Kong.


Could be a 3D Donkey Kong.



I'd imagine that we didn't see footage of Prime 4 because this was fast-tracked after the reaction to Federation Force 2 years ago.

LMAO. Chills during the video, now I'm laughing so hard I'm tearing up...for more than one reason. A new Metroid Prime and Beyond Good and Evil game are the only things I've deeply wanted for many years now (sans Zelda). Now, if Half-Life 3 gets announced, I can't think of anything that would make me shit my pants like these two announcements.
 
The developer (on 3DS) is Mercury Steam. I haven't played their games, but apparently they've been working on recent Castlevania titles.

... Please less scanning and use traditional twin-stick controls. (Is scanning still a thing in the series?) I've never finished a MP past the original because I just dislike how the controls are handled.

But more Metroid is always good... I hope....

There will hopefully be optional pointer controls. I will end up playing mostly that way when the console is docked.
