It’s going to blow our minds

Makes sense that he would be finally happy to show. Since not only is it his job to oversee all first party development. As well as thrvone was the one to announce the game in 2017 and announced the development reboot back in 2019.

Us too!

I hope it can do VR.

It’s the game on switch I’m most looking for and I hope it sell well. I also hope it differentiates itself enough from its predecessors.

The moment they released that video with him saying that they had to scrap development on MP4 and start over from scratch made me realize that the folks at Nintendo love Metroid. If this is indeed the case that he has a smile, we are in for something special.

I wonder how that one Nintendo Share Holder who asked about F-Zero is doing…

I can understand how great a milestone this is for him especially. He’s been overseeing this development for all these years. Must be such a weight off all involved to see it finally get its first public preview.

epic!

Maybe they should show the shareholders the sizzle reel of reactions on YouTube during the reveal. There is lots of screaming and hyperventilating.

Fuck shareholders

I’m not really impressed. The game has been in development hell for years it seems and while it’s nice to finally get a trailer, after 10 years footage of Samus doing basic expected stuff isn’t doing it for me. Scan visor? Morph Ball? Missile Space Pirates? I can just play Metroid Prime 1 for that. Where’s the new gimmick? Where’s the new mechanics?

I have a question. How come in the direct, Shinya Takahashi and Eiji Aonuma were both dubbed over with English, but that one guy with the plushie by the fireplace (I forgot his name) was not dubbed over with English?

Say what you want about Retro Studios, but every single game they made turned out to be a masterpiece.
For me they’re the best internal studio at Nintendo. It’s a shame they had a game cancelled between Tropical Freeze & Metroid Prime 4, but I have no doubt they will deliver.

…stop the presses…an exec at Nintendo smiled while showing a new game? Say it ain’t so.

O wow, he showed enthusiasm and excitement at a shareholder meeting? Industry standard is that people frown and look disappointed during those events…..

It’s cool that Nintendo is so proud of Metroid regardless of whether it sells well or not compared to other flagship series, especially in Japan.

So did everyone who watched that trailer.

Would love to see some in game footage of prime 4 before they restarted development.

Not really news. Would be angry? No. Of course he would be happy!

Probably because they could finally stop sweating him overvit being vaporware.

If anyone has a Japanese eshop account, Metroid Prime is under $20 usd . They got the 30% discount on both Dread and Prime where US eshop only got 15% on Prime. With the yen conversion rate now is a great time to get Japanese games. Also, Japanese Prime Remaster is in full English.

It looks just like Metroid Prime 3

Well, that’s what it’s all about. As long as the share holders are happy!

Was excited to finally see some gameplay.. but it didn’t do a lot to impress me personally. An auto-aiming basic shooter isn’t really gonna fly as well in 2024 when we have some great evolutions of the gameplay loop.

I am so glad Nintendo decided to scrap the original that wasn’t up to par, could you imagine if we got a bad MP4? Retro was the right choice and I think Nintendo realizes that now.

We have waited a long time.
