Metroid Prime 4 announced for Nintendo Switch (New Dev Team, No Footage)
- Thread starter Cerium
- Start date
As soon as I could hear those little alien critters, it was like I could feel them crawling up my spine.
Fuck.
Considering the extent of the reveal, technically it could have started development yesterday for all we know.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
No that's Josh Thomas.
You know what, I think this is a really great counterexample to all the comments about how terrible it is to reveal games very early at E3.
I understand that angle (FF7 Remake, Last Guardian, etc), but as a huge Metroid fan I completely wholeheartedly agree with them doing this.
We had zero hope. We've lived through Other M and Federation Force. People were saying (rightfully) that the franchise could be dead.
That us passionate Metroid fans can now live our lives for the next 2 years or so knowing that at least an attempt at a new, real, potentially fantastic Metroid game is underway is huge.
It actually instantly changed my feelings about Nintendo. That maybe they really do care about us Metroid fans after all.
I don't care if we don't get the game until 2019. Just knowing that it's coming, and it could be great, is massive. I'll tune in to every conference they've got over the next few years hoping to see more.
And though it's tough we didn't see anything, the music alone gave me chills.

They fucking did it.
Do we have confirmation that Retro is working on it?

Exactly. Seeing this put a smile on my face. The Prime series is awesome.
...even though I had to use a guide in the first two games, and never beat the last boss in MP2.
lol
It's what legions of angry fans have wanted for a flippin' decade. More Prime. What are you on about? They've tried doing the spin-offs and innovating on the formula and they are mostly terribly received.

Well this is something alright.
Just please model the gameplay and structure after the first Prime. I can accept Sylux being the main villain or whatever if the game at least plays like a great Metroid game.
Kenji Yamamoto better be back.

Yes, that's right. Where have yunbeen the last few years? We thought Metroid was dead.
100% agreed. Long-suffering Metroid fans needed this badly.
Metroid Prime 3 came out a decade ago. There will be more time between Prime 3 and Prime 4 than there was between Super Metroid and Fusion.
This is the year hell froze over.
And now Metroid is getting a new game. Granted, this is really nothing; just a simple logo. But man. I never expected to see a new one get announced. Hopeful this will take notes from the past Prime titles. Wouldn't be shocked if Next Level was co-developing this with Retro and an internal Nintendo team.
- New 3D Sonic Let's You Make OC Characters
- Bubsy is Returning in a brand new video game (that one one even asked for...though it might be decent?)
- Beyond Good & Evil 2 was re-announced
- Kingdom Hearts III is a REAL Video Game
- OG Xbox Games are playable on Xbox One
- SotC is Getting Remade from the Ground Up on PS4

So MercurySteam are co-developing a 3DS Metroid 2 remake.
Maybe the rumour is mixing that and Prime 4 up.
I actually wouldn't mind that!

Close to the best thing about these announcements is that we won't have to read KingBroly's annoying posts anymore !
No. It's happened before.
