hopefully it's better than the trash that was the first one

I'm still surprised the game was either not delayed on Switch 1 for a few months, or outright cancelled in favor of being a Switch 2 seller.

>>714721592 (OP)
the prime remastered sucked
i guess the prime trilogy wasnt that good to begin with
i enjoyed federation force more, peak coop fun

> Rivals are now trying to start inter-fanbase fights because they have no games.

>>714723116
I think the install base is just too small to justify that, and only a few people will make the purchase just for Prime by a studio with a lot of new, unproven talent.. I realize it's a bit retarded of me to say that though, as I'm waiting to get a Switch 2 until this thing has an actual release date.

>>714721592 (OP)
God I can't fucking wait to backtrack through the same 3 hallways to unlock another door, this time with my mind!

>>714723364
>I think the install base is just too small to justify that
Which is why I was expecting a delay on the Switch 1 at the least, similar to Twilight Princess on the Gamecube.

>>714723259
Pretty weak bait bro, but here, have a (You)

>>714723435
>God I can't fucking wait to backtrack through the same 3 hallways to unlock another door
This but unironically.

Based Metroid Senpaitachi

>>714723657
>similar to Twilight Princess on the Gamecube.
Ah, I gotcha. That would absolutely work, maybe they're just worried after how long it's taken for the game to finally release? It's taken more time than TP from announcement to launch, maybe they don't want to burn any last shred of good will Switch 1 owners have.

>>714725270
>It's taken more time than TP from announcement to launch
It has been literally the entire Switch 1 generation for it to come out.

>>714721592 (OP)
hopefully it's better than the trash that was the second one

>>714721592 (OP)
hopefully it's better than the trash that was the third one

>>714724002
I've always found the Prime series far superior to the 2D Metroids. Super Metroid just isn't that good and doesn't stand the test of time, whereas Prime does for me. I did like Dread though, but apparently people hated it because it was designed for you not to get lost.

>>714727143
At this point the only hope for cope is a new ZSS scene or something. The game itself is cooked. Lock on should have died with the gamecube controller and yet the game is still designed around that vestigial single stick control scheme. Disgusting.

>714723259
you don't even get a proper reply, faggot retarded nigger
kill yourself

>>714721592 (OP)
I'm fucking ready.

Fuck them bitches and naysayers.

>>714721592 (OP)
But where's 2&3 m8

It's been two years since the original remastered got released on the switch

>>714721592 (OP)
hopefully it's better than the trash that was the fourth one

Any word on whether this will be what Prime 3 was meant to be? That is, a large-scale, seamless world?
I want to avoid spoilers so I haven't watched anything other than the announcement trailer. But, I am curious to know what the general direction for the game is.

>>714728763
We don't know their keeping things close to the chest this time anon

>>714723116
It was announced for Switch 1 in the first few months the console was out, they wouldn't get away with not doing a last gen version. Same reason BotW released on Wii U

>>714727749
I could see them randomly dropping this in like January 2027, still on Switch 1

>>714728763
I've only heard that the focus is much larger environments, haven't read anything about it being seamless. I did see a rumor that 5 is being worked on as well with a goal of being more open, with it being Switch 2 exclusive (and nowhere near as long of a dev cycle). Pretty sure the source was this shithole though.

>>714721592 (OP)
Now that the marketing for Banaza's dying down, surely it's our turn next, right? R-Right?
Oh who am I kidding, they're just gonna try to drum up hype for the $20 wheelchair game

>>714730347
>morph ball Samus as a ball in wheelchair game
There's your advertisement.

They had ONE JOB, to make it open world like Breath of the Wild, like the original Metroid.

>>714730347
I don't know why anyone thinks the Bananza game looks that good honestly. It looks like it'll get boring to play after a few hours of playing it and you won't want to go back to it much at all.

>>714730450
Damn, we've fallen off hard after Rocket League
Arguable if that was even a high bar in the first place

>>714730581
No Metroid is open world.

>>714730616
Yeah, it's not doing that many different things than Odyssey, not to mention, what the FUCK is DK's timeline now (I say that, but I shouldn't really be surprised since they said "Fuck timelines lol" for their games way back with BotW)

>I just moved my projectiles. With my freakin mind! Ha ha!

>Metroid if he Forspoke

>>714730715
lmao Metroid one is open world, you can grab the ice beam and head straight to mother brain

Did you know that Mercurysteam's original pitch for metroid was for a metroid prime game?

https://metroid.fandom.com/wiki/Metroid_(MercurySteam_prototype)

and that Harmony's producer was Sakamoto (pic related)?

I thought that was interesting

>>714727352
>I've always found the Prime series far superior to the 2D Metroids
I think super is on the level of Prime 1/2 but the first two prime games curbstomp all the other 2D metroid games and even prime 3 is better than most. I think the people who believe fusion is better than prime have severe brain damage.

The best games are Super, Dread, Prime 1, and Prime 2.

>>714728763
Prime 4 seems to have a planet swapping mechanic like Prime 2, however prime 2's light/dark world were very similar to each other whereas Tanamaar and Viewros look entirely different.

That said we've seen very little of prime 4 so far (first hour or hour and a half at most) with the major mechanic not even being revealed yet, only teased

>>714731792
This but switch Dread with Zero Mission

>>714731936
This but switch Zero Mission with Prime Pinball.

>>714731792
>>714731936
This but switch Dread with Fusion, Prime with AM2R, and that's a wrap.

>>714731638

It's delayed until 2026 isn't it

>Super Metroid just isn't that good and doesn't stand the test of time
Contrarianism is not a real personality.

>>714732350
Pretty high chance at this point. If we don't get anything all summer, I'd say then it's 100% delayed. I've heard a lot of people say that they're expecting a Direct in September now, but IMO that's too late in the year to give it a release date within it. We don't even know if they'll do a Prime 4-centered Direct like they did with Bananza. And here I was, happy that GTA6 was delayed so that Prime 4 couldn't worry about it. Little did I know that Nintendo likes to compete with themselves just as much as, if not more than, with the other guys

>>714732119
>fusion
proto-other M is terrible

>>714732232
try again but copy paste the link on your phone better this time

>Bamco was producing MP4
>nintendo had to yank away the project and give to Retro

Makes me wonder what the fuck they did.

I hope you guys are braced for a mediocre game. Nintendo would be showing it off more if they were proud of it.

>>714732770
What about those 'Out now!' banners that popped up in subways in UK? I'm trying stay optimistic anon
>>714733273
>>Bamco was producing MP4
My guess is it was too reminiscent of Other M, Nintendo doesn't want to kill the franchise again right after Dread revived it.

>>714732770
It's likely the holiday game. They don't have anything else lined up.

>>714733486
There is a rumour that Bamco gave it to some seamonkey studio rather than big boys in japan.

>>714733608
Only Air Riders, which I'm fully expecting to take the holiday slot
>>714733486
I am too, but we're already halfway through the year and we don't even know what Nintendo's marketing team will do after Bananza. Considering Drag x Drive is their next game AT ALL, it ain't lookin good

>>714723259

Luv me 'uper
Luv me Prime
Luv me Fusion
Luv Dread
Luv me 'unters
Luv me zero suit

>>714723259
Hopefully they take cues from the masterpiece that is Other M.

>>714733791
>Air Riders
Oh, right. Forgot about that because they didn't show anything at all for it except that it exists. Kinda like Prime 4 at the beginning. Funny that.

>>714733927
I'm so glad Hunters came out when I was still in highschool, back when I still had friends. Literally hundreds of hours playing local multiplayer, some of the most fun I ever had.

>>714734091
Air Riders also got a year, Prime 4 didn't even get that way back when. Granted, I have my doubts about whether or not it'll MAKE that year, but I think it's more likely to than Prime 4 at this point

>>714733486
Prime 4 was given to retro years before dread released

>>714733791
>Drag x Drive
They have to know they have a dud on their hands, all reception towards it has been comparable to to Switch 2 Welcome Tour... marketing team will probably push the next round of S2 Edition games and hopefully Prime 4. They might be too retarded though, or just holding back bad news

>>714721592 (OP)
Having played Prime Remaster recently,
I appreciate using the controller for it as trying M&K in Dolphin felt pretty boring imo.
Game is not meant to have the same appeal as something like Doom (1993) when it comes to its gunplay and enemies. (Like the switching to the missile, while cool from an immersive POV, doesnt feel responsive to engage with)
Understand why its so praised, as the exploration and puzzles are the main draw, but that last stretch of backtracking definitely ranks it lower than Super Metroid for me personally (the shooting in the 2D games is more interesting than 3D for me atm, the pacing is way more slow and the lack of movement options hurts [I get that ball form is faster, but the length of the transition contributes to the games pacing feeling more tedious compared to the 2D entries imo])
Definitely would rank it higher than Zero Mission and 2 for me
Hoping Echoes is better since I'll be using M&K for that one.
And having tried it for a few minutes, the instant transition into missiles is a big plus.
No idea if I should do Corruption before 4 releases. May be just too wired into FPS styles like Doom to really appreciate the games from a 3D perspective

>>714733927
>other m and federation force try to be original and do something different
>eternally shitted on by journos and the NPCs follow in turn
Every time. Can't wait to play Soulless Sequel Slop #8639! It will be just like my childhood, except worse because I'm better at games now!
(haha just kidding I'm a lobotimized journalist drugged out of my mind who can't play games for shit. Thanks for clicking and generating ad money and reading my shitty opinions though)

>>714734680
>Every time
not really prime is worshiped by journos

>>714734642
>They might be too retarded though
The fact that they're releasing it first means they think it's a better tech demo for the mouse controls than the first-person game, so yeah, I don't doubt that at all

>>714727749
is prime remastered good on switch 2?

>>714734680
>shitting on by journos
and fans of metroid
and the casual gaming public
and nintendo
and everyone except one mindbroken contrarian

>>714734654
Really hoping Prime 4 has more interesting gunplay and enemies while maintaining and improving the exploration and atmosphere personally speaking.
Lock-on strafing in these games has a lot of potential that I didnt think Prime 1 was able to capitalize off of

>>714734850
It runs great no hiccups at all

>>714734850
there are no differences so it'll be 900p/600p (docked/handheld) at 60fps

>>714735038
Prime 4 made the x-ray vision mechanic from prime 3 a core mechanic which is something I was hoping for

>>714734654
1st time I played it had no idea you could scan the pirate logs & get an actual storyline so I thought the game was really lonely

>>714735393
>>714735413
I'm just debating getting them on switch 2 or emulating on pc.

>>714734734
>not really prime is worshiped by journos
Because it's a movie game based on progression. They detest anything skill based or arcade-inspired because it reminds them of how shitty they are at games and at life.

I believe in the July Direct.

>>714736193
>*handicaps your July Direct*

>>714736627
I guess you could say they really rolled out the tarmac for this one!

>>714736627
CARLOS

>>714736627
Nintendo knows it won't sell, it's why it's being sent out at $20.

>>714736731
I wonder if the game's sales will have legs?

Why does every goddamn new Nintendo IP have to be multiplayer-focused these days?

>>714737121
Meant for >>714736627

>>714735843
I think Prime Reastered is worth it on Switch 2. The controls are updated for modern controller layouts along with an overhaul to the look that generally respects the original (except for the removal of reflective surfaces and lights from your projectiles).

>>714729932
Its reassuring that all the music we have for Prime 4 so far is excellent and way above what we got in Dread

>>714737219
I hope they drop a 4k upgrade for it soon.

>>714737247
Yeah, what was up with Dread's soundtrack? The game is great and all but where were tunes?

>>714727689
you first autist

>>714730616
Bonanza's gameplay looks fun but Im really bothered by just how ugly the environments and Donkey Kong's fur is.

>>714723259
truth nuke

>>714733273
it was probably shit if they had to yoink it from bamco after years of fucking nothing

>>714735843
Prime remaster has better controls and overall visuals but resolution is higher on primehack. KMB doesn't provide much for prime, precise aiming isn't emphasized and morph ball controls better with analog

>>714731265
breeding cute girls in armor

>>714737354
To be fair to Dread's composer, it's impossible to make good tunes for dread because you're constantly bouncing between areas and emmi zones which all require different songs. If Chozo grounds was a song in Dread, you would never hear a full loop of it and it'd hardly ever get to the climax of the track

>>714721592 (OP)
I wonder how well this emulates. I plan to rip the rom from a switch 1 cart. Fuck playing on the switch 1 but also fuck buying the switch 2.

>>714732350
I wouldnt start dooming yet, we've got a couple more weeks of a probable Nintendo Direct slots before anybody should enter panic mode

>>714737981
switch emulation has been dead in the water since nintendo's last legal outings and prime 4 seems like the most demanding game on the switch so I wouldn't put my money on it being particularly good.

>>714738018
I wouldn't expect news until bananza drops. They like for their games to take turns in the spotlight.

>>714732350
Given the Out Now poster is in circulation I’m still confident it is this year

>>714738236
It's just too bad they have two games they can focus on in August after Bananza, neither of which are Prime 4

>>714738526
the wheelchair game isn't major and pokemon does its own thing

>>714738790
There's also the Forgotten Land port in August. Pokemon's in October anyway

>>714738853
they're not going to push a dlc as much as a new game

Metroid Prime deserves so much better than Nintendo and Nintendo fans. It could be an excellent series if freed from the garbage Switch hardware and the limitations of Yippee Wahoo Inc. Even by Prime 3 you could tell Nintendo was getting their gross baby game fingers in everything and ruining it.

>>714738526
I think they'll give Prime 4 a pretty good push considering its the best showpiece for Switch 2 mouse controls

god the music in prime 3 was so good

>>714739078
doesn't seem like hardware is holding back prime remaster/prime 4

>>714721592 (OP)
OP's song sucks.
Prime 1 had the best OST.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6Ky2BMVWfs

>>714739078
>It could be an excellent series
No it couldn't. It's fundamentally shitty.

>>714739078
This isnt Iwata's Nintendo anymore, Metroid isnt forced to go along with Wii-era casual pandering

>>714738968
>>714739098
You say that, but this is the company that thinks that wheelchairs are a better way to flaunt mouse controls than a Metroid Prime game, soooooooo

>>714739283
>Metroid isnt forced to go along with Wii-era casual pandering
In the wii era they literally had team ninja make a metroid game
And it got shit on because the journalists couldn't clear it lmao

>>714739432
other M is easier than prime 3, which is really saying something

>>714739432
Other M is the easiest Metroid game, Nintendo wanted it to be a game anybody could play. People shit on it because it was miserable to play lmao.

>>714739172
Prime Remastered is a GameCube game with new art. Prime 4 looks like Halo 4 but worse. I definitely think hardware is holding it back.
>>714739283
Nintendo has no "mature" games. Everything has to be suitable for "the whole family" aka 6-year-olds.

>>714739432
other m is the most retard proof game in the series

Why are you guys responding to obvious shitposting?

>the schizo has arrived

>>714729932
I'm so excited, but I dunno if I'll get a Switch 2 for it. Mario Kart was ruined and Bananza doesn't look like it's worth paying $520 + tax for. I'll probably just play Prime 4 on the Switch if it's not terrible performance-wise.

>>714739929
The very first footage we saw of it last year was 60fps, and that was well before we knew for sure it was going cross-gen, so you'll be fine

>>714739490
The hardest part of Other M is unironically the pixel hunt portions because they're absolutely retarded. Even the secret boss pales in comparison to trying to comprehend the idiot logic behind Team Ninja's take on 'scanning'

>>714740098
I hope so. I didn't get the Switch 1 until Xenoblade 2 released. I probably won't get the Switch 2 for a long while until all the good cross-gen games stop releasing.

I really hope existing Yuzu and Ryujinx versions can play this. I'm not buying a Switch 2 with its shitty screen Nintendo.

>>714740226
yup. The scanning stuff was probably on sakamoto though, not TN

>>714740364
If it gives you more hope, the reason I think Prime Remastered exists is so that Retro could learn how to make a Metroid Prime game that can both look and run good on the Switch's hardware. Partly why i also don't see remasters of Prime 2 and 3 happening on that note

>>714733791
>>714734642
>>714734787
They will most likely do a direct after bananaza

>>714740638
If they did Pikmin remasters, they'll do prime 2/3 even if they're more like pikmin 1 and 2 as opposed to prime R

>>714736061
>>714734680
Nice try acpdosnoytranny

>>714721592 (OP)
eh I couldn't care less. the creature Metroid Prime is dead and they're just using the name because they had no faith this crap would sell on its own. artistically it looks too simple and Samus' suit isn't as bulky despite carrying the name "prime". oh and my hype is definitely 0 since dread came and went like a wet fart

>>714740849
Anon... Dread is the best selling Metroid game to date and received numerous GotY accolades

>>714734850
it looks like ass since it's not 1080 handheld and it's stretched to a bigger screen. uninstalled it immediately then played it on my steam deck instead

>>714733927
Other M was fun, it just had a shitty story.
THERE I SAID IT

>>714740716
They also made a big deal about "Now you can play ALL the Pikmin games on Switch (don't look at Hey Pikmin ssssssh)!" with those remasters. I don't really see them treating the other Primes the same way. At most they know that Prime 1's gone down as not only one of the best Metroids, but also consistenly regarded as one of the best games ever made. I don't see Prime 2 or 3 get nearly that same level of praise

>>714741016
I know, but I just didn't like what we got after waiting 19 years. the plot is beyond stupid, the final suit is fuck ugly, the raven fag pulling an "I am your father, join me" was also pretty damn stupid.

>>714721592 (OP)
im playing prime 3 for the 1st time and it kinda blows so far teebeeaych fampai
are ppl just excited for p4 because it's been so fucking long atp?

>>714741629
Have you played 1 and 2?

>>714741881
of course. mite as well replay them.
this cinematic slop ain't it.

>>714741093
>those controls
no it was not fun, it having a shit story just made a trash game worse

>>714741629
3 settles into usual prime fare pretty quick. play it for the sky city and space pirate homeworld

seems like skytown is the only truly memorable part of prime 3
prime 2 only has 2 out of its 4 areas but torvus bog and sanctuary fortress are both so good that it doesn't matter that agon and temple grounds are mid
prime 1's areas are of course cliched but just excellent and loveable. it's why prime 1 is probably the most replayable, despite 2 being the best for a video gaymen experience

>>714741119
prime 2 and 3 were received better than pikmin 1/2, prime 2's reception in particular has increased over the years.

>>714739684
>nintendo has no mature game
This fag hasn't played emio yet

>>714741629
3 has too many waggle gimmicks

>>714733927
This except I didn't luv me hunters

>>714741016
>best selling metroid
selling a few hundred thousand copies more than NEStroid/Prime on the switch while being co-marketed and released alongside a new model (OLED) isn't exactly a big deal when every other nintendo series got huge boosts in sales. 2021 didn't have any massive game releases, being a goty candidate hardly means anything

>>714729932
that's definitely some Kenji Yamamoto stuff.
Reminds me of the intro vid of Tropical Freeze.
https://youtu.be/XOjlhR0YhR0?t=115

>>714741629
prime 3 is worse than 1/2 but still a great game. The intro segment is the worst part about it though, it gets much better the moment you land on Bryyo

>>714742482
Mages developed emio tbf

>>714742156
After the intro it lightens up. There is still more of it but there are definitely some good segments in the game

>>714742592
yamamoto didn't compose for TF, he was a sound director/supervisor or something. I doubt the prime 4 music is done by him as well, just someone trying to emulate the original prime trilogy sound (and doing a pretty good job of it so far)

>>714742451
I also think the fact that Miyamoto is still such a driving force for Pikmin being a thing at all has something to do with it. It's probably the only thing he does at Nintendo anymore besides producing the movies

>>714741629
I liked Prime 3 and I liked the Wii controls. Hopping in your ship and taking off was cool as fuck every time.

>>714742482
>played emio
I wish there was more of "play" aspect to Emio.
The player doesn't even solve the mystery

>>714742446
Based and entirely correct

>>714742446
Skytown is only memorable from a visual perspective. Both Bryyo and Pirate Homeworld have better level design, Bryyo looks really good too and homeworld isn't particularly bad looking either

>>714744062
I remember Bryyo the most, for music, boss fights and enemy encounters, overall design. Skytown isn't half bad though. I found Homeworld kind of meh.
https://youtu.be/6nMFLquJeCc?si=ucejCBDXPrpj_HiT

>>714745149
homeworld had more interesting level design/progression than just zipping through linear paths in elysia. Admittedly it is cool as fuck the first handful of times.

>>714742446
Pirate Homeworld is pretty memorable. As is Bryyo Ice.
Also the GFS Valhalla.
