    Didn’t realize hopes and dreams were rumors now.

    This sub really needs to ban rumor posts.

  3. I mean, of course this is a rumor? Now that 1 was released, everyone’s hoping for/expecting 2 and 3.

  4. Slade4Lucas

    I mean, obviously. It feels kinda obvious to release the trilogy before 4 comes out

  5. foreskin-eater

    Felt like I heard this one many times.

    Hopefully they make Boost Guardian less bullshit

  7. mucho_mochi

    They didn’t even get the rumor right. It says the two games are coming, but not remastered.

  8. HylianSoul

    Just like Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. Any day now right guys? …guys? *keeps hoping*

    I remember reading an interview from a former developer at Retro studios. He talked about the feasibility of remastering the prime games. This was in days back when the rumours of the remaster we still fairly new or just after prime 4 was announced.

    From what he said, if the studio were going to do it, they probably would only do the first. His opinion was essentially that Prime 3 was so built around the motion controls of the Wii that just applying a regular twin stick control scheme to the game would make it feel unwieldly. They’d have to rethink a bunch of puzzles and at that point they may as well just do a full remake which would take a lot longer to do right. So Prime 3 was almost aways off the table.

    Prime 2 would be fine since it’s a GameCube game, but it isn’t a well regarded as the original so if Prime 3 is out and as such you’re not doing the trilogy remastered then why bother with 2.

    Wow, what a crazy rumour.

    Rumors: it’s getting dark during the night, informer says.

    I mean, it would make sense to do so, but I don’t think it’s going to happen any time soon. At least, not until Prime 4 releases, hopefully.

    Shocker

    My theory is:

    MP1 – Now

    MP2 – shadwodrop at next direct

    MP3 – shadwodrop at next next direct

    MP4 – announced as crossgen title for Switch and the next system

    I feel like this goes without saying. Releasing a sequel to a game over 10 years later probably won’t sell well. But, if you re-release the older ones with a fresh coat of paint, then people will be hype about the fourth.

  15. Super-Visor

    I hear Metroid Prime 4 might someday come to Switch

  16. TherealCasePB

    I just don’t see Nintendo NOT doing the same level of remaster for 2 and 3. The article states they will be lesser. That would be really dumb.

  17. iamnotabotbeepboopp

    All I want is Zero Mission on the Switch. I’ve never been able to get into 3D Metroid games for some reason

  18. isekai-coffee

    of course it is. its the slow drip feed to MP4

  19. BOSS-3000

    As a Metroid, Legend of Dragoon, and Titanfall fan, I’m use to rumors giving false hope. I can wait for a reasonably priced collection. $40 per 15+ year old game is a bit much.

  20. Nintendo has to do this. If they didn’t plan on it, then they need to start planning it now.

  21. If they plan just a port, just give us the classic trilogy instead AND do the HD remaster later. Now I get to pay for it twice on the same system

  22. Sludgehammer

    I’d really be surprised if they weren’t.

    Rumor: Metroid prime 4 is the next in the prime series

  24. Placiibo

    Prime was my GameCube GOAT, but Echoes I dropped half way. Didn’t enjoy the poison mechanic. Never played 3 due to hating waggle. If they fully remaster like Prime, I’m in.

  25. Rumors before Nintendo Direct be like: “Metroid Prime Trilogy coming soon.”

    Rumors after Nintendo Direct be like: “The rest of Metroid Prime Trilogy coming soon.”

    holy shit, this sub really has turned to shit

  27. sweetbreads19

    For now I’m betting on a shadow drop when the date for 4 is announced

  28. LinkWink

    Yep. Exactly what’s been said since 2021 when the Prime 1 remaster was first rumored. It sucks Prime 2 and 3 can’t get the same level of attention as 1, but it’s better to have Retro focus all of their resources on Prime 4. The only question at this point is release timeframe.

  29. KonamiKing

    Rumour: Mario game to be released within the next two years.

  30. shiningvoid

    That would be too reasonable for Nintendo. They’re going to release all 3 across different systems before finally giving us Metroid Prime Trilogy: Remastered. At $70 of course.

  31. e_ndoubleu

    Awesome! I’m hoping they’ll release them all in a bundle whenever Prime 2 & 3 are released. I’ll probably hold off on getting Prime 1 until then.

  32. Moondoggie25

    Pretty sure the same rumors that said 1 remastered was a thing also said that 2 and 3 would happen, but with less effort. Like a hd texture update and some control stuff and thats it. No idea how to re-track down that into though

  33. Remarkable_Custard

    Yay for the good old hype rumor train.
