Metroid Dread, Prime 4… The new ones are coming, so are the old ones!
Already there since 1988, Sarus Aran has yet to hang up his famous suit of armor. Always ready to start a new adventure, The legendary bounty hunter made her big comeback on Nintendo Switch last October with a 2.5D episode in the spirit of the main components of the license, positioned chronologically in the continuity of the opus Fusion published on Game Boy Advance in 2002. At the time of its announcement Metroid horror had surprised the public, who with impatience made him want to have news Metroid Prime 4.
At the moment there is nothing to announce on the side of this fourth episode, but it seems that things are moving around the founding episode of this branch of the Metroid franchise. While a Nintendo Direct mini will be held tomorrow to discuss the games in preparation at third-party studios (howHollow Knight: Silk Song or Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope), All eyes are on a new indiscretion from GiantBomb site reporter Jeff Grubb tonight.
A remaster of Metroid Prime 1, but not only!
It’s been a while since there were rumors of the arrival of a remaster of Metroid Prime on Nintendo switch. Some rumors even claim that it has been around for a while with no real confirmation on the matter. However, Jeff Grubb came to add fuel to the fire regarding this mysterious remaster, which according to his sources would be released to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the episode released on Nintendo GameCube. Here are the journalist’s recent comments on the matter:
I can say that I’ve been told pretty unequivocally that Metroid Prime Remastered will be one of their big Christmas games (…) I had heard in the past that something was in the works and that this game was moving forward. I was told that they were planning to release it during the holiday season and I think it’s almost certain that it will coincide with the 20th anniversary in November.
This statement should please players who experienced this opus in the early 2000s, but the following may please them even more. Nevertheless, according to Grubb, Nintendo would not stop at this one episode: Metroid Prime 2 and Metroid Prime 3 would also have the right to a new edition, even if it would be significantly less spectacular than the one reserved for Metroid Prime, first of all the name. We just have to wait for more information from Nintendo: however, the time until November 18th (date of the original release in North America) seems very long!
