Tanooki Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Oh that should be fun, can only imagine how loud the cheering was once that music kicked in and people realized that was the samus bolt going into the 4. I've got the steelbook trilogy on Wii, so I'm game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Salamon Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I hit this prediction in the E3 prediction thread! Now I have to wait... such exciting news! I'm now 99.5% going to purchase my own Switch... I don't want to have to fight my son for control of the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emehr Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I'm game as long as they take the entire narrative of Other M and the characterization of Samus that it brought with it and chuck it in the trash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Perhaps even better, a 2.5D Metroid II remake was announced for the 3DS. It's not quite as neat as a Zero Mission style remake would've been, but I'm ready for 2D style Metroid action even if's all polygons instead of lovely 2D sprites.

KeeperofLindblum Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Welp, I pretty much have to get a Switch now. I'll have to watch the clip later when I get a chance! Also the announcement of the Metroid II remake... I wonder if that's why Nintendo was so adamant about removing the homebrew AM2R (A Metroid 2 Remake).

I was thinking this after I posted the last one. I really am even more set to get that than even a Prime game. That was the one rogue old Metroid game that was too crusty for its own good.

omegadot Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Outstanding. Now maybe I'll actually finish Prime 3... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionHearted78 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Really cool to see that Nintendo is delivering a Metroid game early into the Switch lifespan. I couldn't be more excited for this game. I also hope they bring out the Metroid 2 remake on the Switch as well (I kinda figure it's only a matter of time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 The snes mini is coming to the line up,camp, horde, and resell crowd. Horde, or hoard? Both are possible/likely, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPA5 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I had to change my boxer shorts after seeing the teaser. And it was just a bloody logo. The Metroid Prime series are my favourite games of all time. Don't fuck this up, Nintendo. Btw I have to get a Switch now. I just have to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atariboy Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Eurogamer has announced that Namco is the developer behind Metroid Prime 4. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018-02-08-yes-namco-bandai-is-working-on-metroid-prime-4 Not an official announcement, but probably close enough for most.

Atariboy Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 (edited) Development troubles, but it's good news at the end of the day. http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/01/metroid_prime_4_development_scrapped_will_be_restarted_alongside_retro_studios Nintendo is scrapping it for not meeting their standards and are restarting development with Retro Studios doing the work under MP4's original producer. Switch needs a great Metroid rather than a mediocre one, so it's good to see Nintendo doing what's needed to get this project there. And softening the blow even further are promising sounding rumors about Metroid Prime Trilogy HD to tide fans over and help promote the eventual release of Metroid Prime 4. All three are great games that will be even better in HD. http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/01/rumour_metroid_prime_trilogy_for_nintendo_switch_is_ready_to_be_released Assuming it's real, hopefully both camps will be provided for if this happens. The obligatory traditional controls that a minority of MP fans prefer will surely be present to enable Pro Controller and handheld play. But hopefully Joy-Con motion controls to replicate the very well received Wii motion control implementation in these modern day classics will also be there.

DragonGrafx-16 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I have Metroid Prime 1 and 2 on Game Cube and 3 on the Wii. I was not a big fan of the motion controls for aiming so I turned the auto lock on and it was better. The Spider Guardian was a pain in MP2 on the Game Cube but heard that the boss was super easy on the Wii version because of the jump that was added. No longer had to master the 3 bomb jump lol.

Tanooki Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 The motion controls made the games far more fun and playable to me. I hope to see MPT happen considering it was brought up somewhere before. This game (MP4) is looking like a Holiday 2020 thing at this rate now, so they could do the trilogy this year at that time perhaps. I hated to hell the c-stick being wasted on asinine visor swaps, what a waste considering how some enemies in the game can run/jump around in an instant and lock on fire while you have to play button twister to do the same. The motion controls allow a more mouse+keys like setup so you can just get there which is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
