With the sales success of Metroid Prime Remaster, I hope they give Prime 2 and 3 the same treatment as Prime 1.
I'm hoping for Prime Hunters as well.
Bring all the Metroid games available on one current platform
@@KreshWC people liked hunters?!
@GrimAtrament Parts of it. It had a good online multiplayer.
And the coolest bounty hunters in the franchise
@@hazerddex actually sad that you think that... it was still a good game though! Not the best but still good
They know that Prime 4 has to be near perfect, so Nintendo seems to give them all the time they need - which i highly appreciate
but then it gets to the point where they polish and second guess themselves too much and remove a feature or even a layer of paint hopefully they aren't all complete trying to stay busy and removing too much that would be great. Or adding things no one wants.
4 years is a fairly normal development time for a studio, so I'm really not worried.
@@mayae9372 plus zelda totk has taken 6 years and it's now coming out later this year
@@razorshark6790 yes i know haha
@Razorshark67 You mean BotW, TotK didn't take nearly as long because they're only adding new elements instead of building an entire game from scratch. That cuts development time in half.
Prime remastered was my first Metroid experience and I instantly fell in love. Went to dread next and,my goodness. This series is impeccable. I can’t believe it took me this long to get into Metroid considering I’ve been into Zelda forever. Im sooo looking forward to playing the older games and figuring out the roots of the games. hopefully I end up borrowing my friends GameCube and wii soon, so I can get through prime 2 and 3 in time for prime 4!!
Super Metroid was the magnum opus according to many. I put Metroid Prime and Dread up there with it. Metroid Zero and Fusion are excellent entries. The only one I'd skip is Metroid Other M.
Welcome on board mate!
Samus > Zelda
Welcome brother. Skip Nes, just go straight to Super Metroid. Play Zero Mission or Fusion at any time. These 3+primes+dread are basically the main games. Others are weird to bad. I never played the fan remake of metroid 2 aka AM2R but It's supposed to be up there with the best of the mainline 2d games according to many
If we dont get a remaster of Echoes and Corruption it would be a total Metroid Crime.
Your Metroid videos are really making me think about playing the games and getting into the series.
I love them bro. They’re not for everyone, but they are unlike any other game out there, so you really can’t knock it til you try it.
Just remember they're more puzzle games than shooters. My favorite game series next to Half Life, Portal, and Resident Evil
I have a strong feeling it's coming out myself. Mostly because when they made Prime Remastered, it felt alot like a tech demo, meaning I expect Prime 4 is gonna have the same level of polish.
I think Metroid Prime 4 gets released mid to late 2024. I expect Prime 2 and 3 will come out holiday 2023.
I don't know when we will get Metroid Prime 4.
But I can almost guarantee we'll see new information this year.
I'd say next year on information, this year we get info on 2, 3, OR 4, but as they shadow dropped 1, they probably shadow drop 2/3, but as 4 wasn't mentioned I think we don't see 4 info for certain until 3 is released or if they skip to releasing 4, at which point they likely wouldn't shadow drop 4 but release info slightly before release.
And if we do, probably not until the very end. With like a spring or summer 2024 release
If you could only have one, which would you choose…. Tears of the Kingdom, or Metroid Prime 4?
CORRECTION: I mention in the video that they basically hadn’t acknowledged Metroid Prime 4 since 2019, but I forgot that they did briefly mention it during the announcement of Metroid Dread. Regardless, I’ll take every sign of life I can get. Lol
Have to go with totk, but as I play more metroid games that may change haha
Tuff but prime 4
Metroid Prime 4
TOTK but I'd take another Metroid dread game over them all
Prime 4, no contest.
The existence of Prime Remastered makes me not worry about Prime4 anymore.
Nintendo has done this in the past where they utilize the "remaster" motif on older games while using it as a basis for a newer game, either visual practice or engine practice or both.
Prime Remastered's assets are REALLY well crafted. I'd be surprised if they didnt use some of it in Prime4, most notably the Samus model.
I just hope they bring back the prime 2/3 slanted visor with the little notch on top. That was peak metroid design. Either way, i really hope they stick with a more grounded suit design in general. Im not a fan of fusion or dreads designs, even though they are fantastic, its just... Not connecting to me
I have a feeling it's gonna be a launch title for the Switch 2, if that's the case i really don't mind the wait.
A switch pro. They have sell tonpuch switch to kill it now
Man when I got the survey I was so excited to see the option. But I think it's Nintendo Europe overall, not only UK, since I'm from Spain and I got it
Good to know!
I can confirm this, I'm from France and got the survey as well :)
I'm sticking with "Switch 2" launch title.
Error at 1:33
Nintendo last acknowledged Metroid Prime 4 in 2021, right before the announcement of Metroid Dread.
Forgot about that one. Good thinking
In the mean time they might want to manufacture and restock on physical copys of the Metroid Prime 1 Remaster, there practically sold out everywhere and many hardcore Metroid collectors who want a physical copy for there collection never got one.
I think they likely won't release too many more, they have to keep supply down so the stock doesn't affect future trilogy sales.
@Michael Lane Well I just hope they make enough for everyone who wants a physical copy. I also hope Echoes and Corruption get remastered someday.
Honestly I wouldn’t expect 4 until the next console, and have Prime 2 + 3 to tide fans over.
Which really blows....i got a switch specifically FOR Metroid prime 4
That I don’t mind. I’ll be happy getting 2 and 3 for now.
I think it will be crossgen. It makes sense. Running at 60 FPS in both, but Full HD or 4k in the Super Nintendo Switch (pro, Switwo, whatever).
MORE MANEY for Nintendo and a BIG GAME to the lineup.
But yes, we want Prime 2 and 3 so bad with this same level of care and treatment, that we can wait being happy with these amazing games ❤
Yeah, I hope they wait til the next console, too.
Maybe a cross release like with botw
Prime 4 has probably been done for a lil bit now considering their development team. So the smart thing to do was to build more anticipation an raise sale potential by dropping what they already know old fans an new fans would want
Prime 4 is still being worked on, remember they originally scraped it and restarted development.
I think it depends on how far along they are compared to how far along they are with a potential Switch successor. If they know or think they are gonna have a new console out around the Holidays or early next year, they might wanna push Prime 4 to be a cross console game, both a Switch and a release title for the new console, but if they are more than a year out on a new console I'd think (or hope maybe more like) that we will see Prime 4 in time for the Holidays, with trailers starting some time this spring/summer. Either way it feels like they have to acknowledge it somehow now that Prime remaster has done so well.
I feel like it really depends on when we get the next system. I feel like Nintendo might wait for the next console to release it, and I'm guessing thatll be either end of 2024 or 2025.
*I'm* getting the impression that Prime 4 is coming soon *because* of all these Metroid releases and re-releases. Metroid Dread, Metroid Prime Remastered, Metroid Fusion, and probably Metroid Zero Mission here soon. Bring Metroid to the public eye again, and drum up hype for Metroid Prime 4. Why do that *now,* if Metroid Prime 4's release isn't imminent?
This game taking so long probably means its going to be amazing. Happy to get some assurance
Nintendo mentioned Prime 4 in the Nintendo Direct when they announced Metroid Dread
My guess is a release right after Zelda maybe holiday this year if we're lucky or mid next year. I'm not sure why but I just have a gut feeling prime 2 and 3 remasters won't be released.
Though I'm glad Nintendo wants perfection in their games just like they are Stanley Kubrick, but Retro Studio should have been working on the game since day 1. I'm curious what the game looked like before that made Nintendo hate it so much to scrap it.
I just hope we get a Kraid battle in 4
I hope for mother brain aswell but kraid is more likely
I got that survey the other day, sounds like they're doing a bit of market research, so still deep in development and making changes based on their user feedback.
I hope they do a remaster of Federation force, such an underrated game
was honestly relieved when they announced retro took over, even if it meant starting over; no matter how long it’s gonna take i know they’re gonna do it right
Never f around and question Retro studios. Those mfs were doin 80 hour work weeks and suicidal af the entire development of the trilogy. Theyll come out of nowhere and dunk on us hard watch this shit happen
I predict they will release Prime 4 in October/November of this year or next year and that it will conclude the prime games and expand from there. With the recent success of Metroid so far,the franchise has the chance of becoming as,or even more, popular than Mario and possibly Zelda,which may lead to them releasing more merch and maybe an anime or movie later down the line,if I remember correctly,they plan on putting in a Metroid area in Nintendo Land,along with DK and LOZ. The plans for the park were put in an article from when they first announced Nintendo Land,it's been a while since I last saw it.
If I were to guess I'd say we'll see something about Prime 4 in the summer, around E3 time, with an announcement that it's due next year. Prime 2 Remastered will drop during that direct too, Zero Mission on Switch will probably be announced too if it's not available by then. Towards the end of the year they'll show off more and announce a release date, Prime 3 Remastered will be dropped when they do.
Zero Mission is already confirmed for the GBA online
@@SonicMoon1 Really? I know there’s been stuff leaked and obviously it’s coming eventually but I hadn’t heard that anything has been confirmed by Nintendo.
I honestly don't think Prime 4 is going to be better than Prime 1, but that's mainly because Prime 1 was perfect, and it's pretty hard to do better than that. I'll be happy as long as Prime 4 is as good as Prime 2, which in my opinion wasn't quite as good as Prime 1, but still an amazing game with some of the best boss fights I've seen in an first-person game. I don't mind waiting until 2024 to get Prime 4, if we have to. I just don't want it to be a mediocre disappointment.
Great news indeed but I really wish we'd get a release date to end the speculation.
Better to not have a release date. If they set a roadblock, either they’re going to run out of time and delay the release; which will make fans unhappy. Or rush the game and release it with duck tape held together and fans are still unhappy because of them rushing for the finish line.
@@AlexGomez-el7cu It's been under production since 2019. I'm pretty sure they've just about finished it by now.
@@Misty25939 Not necessarily. Remember, development was RESTARTED in 2019 because they didn't like the direction the game was taking.
While it COULD be finished by now, I think it's more likely the development of Metroid Prime 4 at most nearly done, if not 60-75% finished.
I think that they released only Metroid Prime 1 as remastered shows that they need more time for prime 4. If it would be rather close to be finished they could've remastered the trilogy version from Wii, but since only one of the three came out I think the other two games will come at a later time so that the developers for MP 4 have more time to finish everything.
1:32 This is a blatant misnformation. They clearly acknowledged the development of Metroid prime 4 at E3 2021 when they announced Metroid Dread.
I think around 2025 if there are some delays. Around near-end of 2024 if they're actually almost close to finish it.
If Nintendo brings Zero Mission to the Switch, than *every single 2D Metroid game will be playable on one console.*
Metroid Prime is getting some spotlight on the system, which means the only corner of the franchise that Nintendo hasn't touched are those weird DS spinoffs.
Maybe we can start a petition.
They will bring zero mission to the service.
@@Yusei255 My goal when I heard about the Zero Mission leak was to beat Metroid Fusion before Zero Mission came out. And by abusing the rewind feature and looking up youtube guides, I am happy to say that I acheived that goal.
My guess is either this holiday season, or next year with the likely release of a new console
I am more curious if the remasters of Prime 2 and 3 will use the same model for Samus they used in Prime. I never liked how in 2 and 3 they redesigned her Chozo Power Suit and made it look less detailed and cheaper. I'll be satisfied either way but a man can dream.
I never finished Prime 2, and so I never started Prime 3. Now I don't have my GameCube or Wii anymore, so I hope we get them for the Switch in time for me to catch up.
I don't think Metroid Prime 4 is going to release until 2025-2026, because I think they're trying to pull a Breath of the Wild with this one, and adapting the expansive level design of the very first Metroid game to modern audiences.
If Metroid Prime 4 IS going to release, I strongly believe it's not going to be until the end of the Nintendo Switch's lifecycle, and the beginning of the new Nintendo console's lifecycle.
Now, I am probably wrong about what the level design is going to be like, but I don't think that it's going to release this year or next year.
Probably doing segmented releases of 1, 2 and 3 over the span of 12-18 months, then release 4.
The reason people speculate Prime 4 might be imminent is that a while ago there was a very thorough and specific leak that described the Metroid Prime remaster to a T - including the fact that it would be just the first game, and that it would have totally remade graphics. That same leak though, said that the game was ready... like a year and a half ago. Numerous other leaks all suggest that Nintendo sat on the finished Metroid Prime remaster - even though last year would have been the games' 20th anniversary.
So the question is...if they've been sitting on it, why release it now as a shadow drop? With a Zelda game already holding up the first half of the year? For many, the answer is that they were timing it to serve as an "on ramp" / hype generator for MP4.
All I'm a say is we waited almost 20 years for Metroid 5: Dread. So Metroid games never get fully cancelled, they just sit in the vault until the time is right.
Great
I see that question like this:
The game may not be anywhere into the dev phase yet, and the question is to gauge how many of the people that bought Prime, want Prime 4. Think about it. Prime is selling like hotcakes and getting rave reviews. If all those buyers were to show they wanted 4, they will make it a priority. It could also be that Retro has a log of games to do and Nintendo want to know whether Prime 4 should be at the forefront or can be sat on while they do something else first. Personally, I would like to see remasters of both Echoes and Corruption before Prime 4 gets released, as despite me loving Prime, I never got to play 2 or 3.
Just wondering, have you played the fan game AM2R?
That's some cool music at the end!
I think at this point Prime 4 will receive a similar treatment to BotW, being a launch title for the next console but also having a somewhat graphically inferior version on last gen. Either that or it's straight up a next gen exclusive.
Prime 4 would be a perfect way to showcase the power of a new system, & the Switch is already struggling to keep up even with Nintendo games
There was also the interview with one of the remastered designers, and they said they'll be releasing Prime 4 after the rereleasing of Prime 2 and 3.
I would reckon if they had to restart development yet again, they would be remastering Prime 2 and 3 in the meantime. Supposing that dude from Retro Studios was playing coy at them not being in development as well.
Ya, after Dredd they wanted to prime the public for how Prime plays, gearing up for 4! Get the new generation hooked
I feel an early next year announcement seems very likely at this point. With Prime 2 and 3 remasters thrown in somewhere between then. Something like Prime 2 remaster later this year, Prime 3 early next year. With Prime 4 in the summer
This would be ideal. I wonder if Nintendo only planned a Metroid Prime Remastered and then planned Metroid Prime 4. I doubt they expected the remastered version to be as successful as it is. Who knows.
My experience to buying Metroid prime remastered is because it was in my GameCube days , CLEARLY of course I buy it if it was released to the switch
"Why would nintendo be asking this if they were having doubts about prime 4?" Because they are having doubts and wanna see if fans are interested in the game.
This can mean anything, but at least shows that nintendo is still thinking of prime 4.
Idk, with how long Nintendo didn't want to give Metroid another chance, how long it got put in the hole with things like Starfox, I feel like the Metroid Prime 4 wait isn't entirely a good option. Confirmation they're still working on it, great, but their silence is already confirmation imo 'cause waiting this long to tell us it's cancelled would only go poorly.
No, I feel like Nintendo is testing the waters, I think them not making the physical copies of the Prime 1 Remaster was already a big sign that Nintendo STILL doesn't have faith in Metroid's success levels. By doing a survey like this they're gathering info on the market for Metroid- is it only successful now because of the wait for Prime 4? If so then if Prime 4 is coming closer to release it's not worth it to do the other games. But if there's genuine interest in the series, maybe it is worth it.
I feel like they're just testing the waters with how long Nintendo put the series in the vault never to be seen again, heck with how much money is going into Prime 4s development (what with restarting an entire development cycle on the game maybe from scratch we're not sure) I wonder if Nintendo is at the stage of considering axing the entire thing if Metroid can't prove it'll have been worth the cost
I think I'm gonna skip out on Metroid Prime 4 and wait for Metroid Prime 5.
To me, it is a survey question that is meant to reflect how the community likely feels, wether or not Prime 4 is a soon release or not.
My prediction: 4 drops in late 2025 (extra points if it is less than 30 days away from the new Fable), giving Retro and Nintendo enough time to drop remasters of Echoes and Corruption.
Just a FYI, NOE also send out this form.
It also asks about which games you played and if you liked the 2d or 3d more.
IIRC, they did a similar one with dread (2d 3d).
Thank you, I had no idea !
I checked and saw I received a mail from nintendo for the survey, I just answered it :)
My prediction is a trailer after the TotK train slows down, so Holiday 2023. With a tentative release date of late 2024. That’s a 5 year development cycle, which I think to be perfectly reasonable. Now, I also think that may be a bit optimistic if it weren’t for the MP Remaster release recently. That signals to me that MP4 marketing is spinning up, which indicates that MO4 is entering its final stages of development.
They need to release a multiplayer metroid game created by retro, it could be a mixture of hunters' multiplayer and the scraped ideas for metroid 1.5.
Those private, cherry picked user surveys are usually very helpful. I had surveys about Pikmin and Kirby that also were very close to the announcement of the next game in the franchise. Usually only 2-3 months away.
They basically restarted development again from scratch. 4yrs is not super uncommon, to be honest and the fact they brought Dread and Prime Remastered shows their interest to establish Metroid as a big non--niche franchise.
Release remastered versions of Prime 2 & 3 since they already have all the assets from Prime 1. Then release Prime 4 as a launch title to Nintendo new console to fully grasp the potential of the games graphics instead of the Switch old hardware that can barely handle fully optimized games right now.
I would kill for metroid prime 4 😜
I am ready to bet money on the fact that Metroid Prime 4 will be released on the new console, maybe even WITH the new console, BOTW style, basically. It will most likely be on Switch as well, but I'm confident that it's being programmed for the new system.
The way I see it, it was supposed to be for Switch, but time passed and now they decided to upgrade it, because by the time it's ready, the Switch will be kinda dead.
But now they need more time, so they decided to slowly resurrect the franchise and slowly feed the audience games to play. I wouldn't be surprised if Prime 2 and 3 will recieve the same treatment and would come out next year (even if, honestly, I discovered tbe franchise with Dread and now that I've played Prime I'm STARVING for Echoes).
Your wrong, the last time they talked about prime 4 wasnt 2019, it was 2021 direct before the metroid dread trailer started.
I think Metroid Prime Remastered releasing itself was a sign that MP4 is nearing completion. Everybody knows it was rumored for YEARS and never came, until last month when they finally announced and shadow dropped it. I think they were waiting for a specific reason, and I think that reason was some sort of development milestone for MP4. I would not be surprised if the devs at Retro didn't pop a bottle of champagne that day.
I think that the next Metroid we will get on the switch is Metroid Prime 4 and that it is a prequel to the first Metroid Prime, release maybe summer 2024 or if we are truly blessed December 2024.
Video starts at 0:55 everything before is a waste of time
I took the survey and to me after all this time i think its being held back for switch 2 launch it could be cross gen aswell thought
Were they seriously trying to make a Prime game, WITHOUT Retro studios?!
The person who works as a cleaner in the office building next door to Nintendo's could slightly cough, accidentally making it sound like the word 'Metroid' and my RUclips feed would become flooded with news about the new game...
Look in sure prime four will be great but currently I want you al to either play or look at the game Anthem and it's world and then tell me that Metroid isn't a prime candidate for adaptation into that style of game play but metroid style.
Either Holiday 2023 or 1st Quarter of 2024, that's my speculation
Two things I know about Nintendo: They don't rush games, and they don't do things that aren't on purpose. I'm hoping that MP4 is taking all the time it needs to get developed properly and done right, and I'm confident that Nintendo including that option as a response is definitely on purpose. They're stealthily creating hype for it.
I truly hope you’re right but I fear that you might be reaching…I don’t think that this survey is made by the Nintendo you’re thinking of, I think the survey was by the UK department of Nintendo, probably like usual some marketing campaign just collecting feedback, they most likely don’t really care to strongly about the % of what people answer, like most likely there are questions on there to recommend the game and a rating you’d give it etc.
Now I have some serious doubts MP4 is gonna even be on the Switch, guessing it’ll be pushed to next gen Nintendo consoles at best 😕
Untill i see a trailer or at least an update in a direct or something i’m going to assume the game is cancelled and we are never going to see it. Nintendo has a track record of doing the complete opposite of not what people expect so im not getting my hopes up
I bet they'll remaster Prime 2 and 3 before releasing Prime 4 that's just my theory
This is out there, but I'm hoping they make 4 a third person game. See samus like the side scrollers with increased movement speed but a 3D space more like the prime series to date. Best of both worlds.
Retro Studios was very adament about this, that it doesn't work. Some time during the development for Metroid Prime 1 they shifted to first person, away from third. But some of the animations were already done at that point, hence you have some third person transition animations etc.
I think this is still the case in all honesty.
That option on the poll seems to indicate that Nintendo is contemplating a choice...release Prime 4 when it's ready, or hold off on it and release cash grab Prime 2/3 ports/remasters before releasing Prime 4.
I think it's still a fair way away (2025?) given hints of internal turmoil at Retro, but Nintendo definitely has gained renewed faith in it given the response to Dread and MPR
I'll never understand why Nintendo says/does the things they do, the way they do.
That's such a great news !!!! 👏
Crazy how the smallest mention of Metroid Prime 4 like in a survey get interest. That's how starved Metroid fans are😭
Will it be better than the first three? Probably not. It's hard to top Prime 1 and 2. It might be better than 3, but(while I think 3 is still a great game) that ain't hard. I reckon a release date for late 2024 or early 2025
I think we’re going to at least hear something soon. 4 years is a typical development cycle
Less cos remember they did scrap it originally cos they didn't like hiw the previous developer was handling it.
So they restarted development with Retro now handing it
must be better than previews 3
Somewhere in 10/24 would be m guess
Imagine if Pokemon had done the same thing when they released Sword and Shield, which are the worst pokemon games of all time, or if they've taken the time to properly develop Violet and Scarlet. Wish all the games had this focus on quality, rather than cuantity.
I think it will be crossgen. It makes sense. Running at 60 FPS in both, but Full HD or 4k in the Super Nintendo Switch (pro, Switwo, whatever).
MORE MANEY for Nintendo and a BIG GAME to the lineup.
But yes, we want Prime 2 and 3 so bad with this same level of care and treatment, that we can wait being happy with these amazing games ❤
At this rate after Half-Life 3
I just hope they're a bit more generous with the save system. I quit at Phazon mines after I lost hours of playtime.
Chides speculators, asks us to speculate in the comments. lol
Well duh. Why would they remaster Metroid Prime if they weren't going to release Metroid Prime 4?
Because it makes money regardless, duh. Lol. Have you been paying attention, like at all?? 😂
@@zeltroid Nintendo hasn't ported or remastered a lot of things that fans would want that would make money. Nintendo probably wouldn't put in the time to remaster Metroid Prime, if there wasn't a new Metroid Prime game coming out. Stop trying to make me look dumb by putting "lol" 😂 and telling me to pay attention.
End of 2024
It's weird seeing so many vids pop up on this. This survey was making the rounds over a month ago right when MPR released. Yall are late to the party and fishin for clicks.
Disagree. This became news to me last night, and I run a freakin Metroid channel. Lol. I believe you when you say that you were already aware of this, but I wasn’t, and I think many people weren’t and would consider this good news. Also, everyone wants clicks. Welcome to RUclips 😂
I'm seeing pretty much everyone making videos on this nintendo UK survey because "They finally mentioned Prime 4 for the first time since the restart!" As if they didn't also reassure us they were still working on it during E3 2021. Only reason no one made videos on that is because Metroid freaking Dread got announced 10 seconds later.
And that's just the big N, Retro themselves have been putting out job listing for metroid prime 4 for years, and we got that twitter banner art last year.
I'm glad that Nintendo acknowledged it again, but I don't feel like this is worth everyone making a video about it.
🎉❤
I seriously doubt some intern at Nintendo UK has inside knowledge about MP4. Neither Nintendo nor Retro have outright denied that the game is still in development, so we shouldn't be surprised when it gets referenced in passing on the seemingly very rare occasion.
