Metroid is in a dire situation at the moment. Absolutely no news on prime 4, no mention of her anniversary for a decade now, and Nintendo just seems fit to ignore her entirely. Why does Nintendo hate the series so much?

Because making a 'good' metroid game requires effort.
Shitting out a mario, zelda or pokemon is easy.

If things would have turned as planned, we'd be getting the new Prime game right about now. Mercurysteam is working on a new 2D Metroid for switch. Have some perspective, it could be a lot worse.
Wyatt Baker
Why do Sonyfags always have to shitpost?
Kayden Powell
Incompetence
Adrian Adams
Not to mention prime 4 is also missing an art director.
Which you'd think they would've had by now but apparently not.
Colton Walker
>Absolutely no news on prime 4
because it just restarted development a few months ago

Uhhh, but I like Metroid? Which has been a Nintendo exclusive series forever? I think I'm missing something here.

Metroid 5 is in development and you're bitching that Prime 4 got delayed because Nintendo didn't want another Other M situation, be happy for what you got.

>Prime and 5 both in development despite setbacks
>people seem to think theres a good chance of a Switch Prime Trilogy release
All things considered, Metroid is in a better place right now than its been in quite some time.
Nolan Cooper
I just hope they introduce some new powers and upgrades in the next game.
While the series tends to retread itself a fair bit I just want a few new things to spice things up a bit further.
Isaac Mitchell
Still in a better state than F-Zero, it's been 15 years since the last game.

>Nintendo Switch is a very attractive hardware, and I think there are all kinds of possibilities to take advantage of it. Although I can not say anything specific about the development of the next Metroid game, I can tell you that I am always attentive to all kinds of potential options.
>Of course it is implying something, but I would like you all to try to find out what it is for now!

So the source is literally "dude trust me". And then it'll get cancelled mid-development and restarted all over, taking another 5 years just like Prime, while conveniently never showing us a single bit of the game during its dev time.
How very convenient.
Justin Barnes
The more you talk the more you sound like a Sonyfag.
Andrew Jenkins
just like Prime 1 then?
Owen Williams
>"dude trust me"
That's literally the words of the director of Samus Returns.
Jaxson White
Stop being stupid. Prime 4 is early in development, and we know Metroid 5 is in development.
Jeremiah Campbell
Because it's unpopular in Japan and it already has fractals off its formula from indie games.
Colton Davis
SAMUS IS UNDER FIRE
SHE SENT OUT AN EMERGENCY DIRECTIVE
Reply to this post or Nintendo will never publish another Metroid game
Christopher Phillips
...fuck
Anthony Johnson
Because Nintendo appeals to young children, Metroid is more mature.
Isaac Young
After Prime 4 was conveniently canceled, I stopped having any faith in Nintendo. As far as I'm concerned, Prime 4 never once existed, and the cancelation was just an excuse to placate fans while leaving the series to rot. Infact, the same can be said of Metroid 5 too. Since we don't even have a trailer or screenshots or even concept art, how are you so sure that it's in development?
Now, I'll be glad to eat my words with a side of humble pie once they show ANYTHING related to it, but until then I'm gonna remain skeptic.
Matthew Long
>canceled
and that's how I know you're shitposting.
Joseph Morgan
Get out, Sonyfag, you're not welcomed here.
Alexander Wood
What other term would you use then? According to Nintendo, the threw everything out and started over from scratch with a new company (retro). You very well can't say it's a continuation or even a restart. That would imply that they have a foundation built at least.
Elijah Hernandez
>new company
Retro did the whole Prime Trilogy. Also, Nintendo literally owns Retro. Now gtfo
Connor Howard
Holy shit you guys got 3 games and 2 smash characters this decade with Prime 4 announced and delayed to ensure better quality and you're STILL complaining.
Carson Russell
>Smash
Literally who cares
Lucas Kelly
A new company from the last people working on Prime 4, aka Bamco.
Isaiah Baker
It's just this one Sony turd shitposting.
Bentley Clark
>Smash
You make that sound like a good thing. That accursed series has ruined video games and made Metroid much worse as a result.
Easton King
>new company (retro)
>A new company from the last people working on Prime 4
Okay, so which one is it? Make up your mind about it.
Jack Perry
A flub of words on my part. I meant that Nintendo scrapped all the work bamco did on Prime 4 and hired Retro to start all over. Or so they claim.
