>tfw Nintendo has just killed Metroid and they don't even know it
Nobody is going to pay 80$ for a glorified scavenger hunt. Get ready for the series to go back in the vault. Again.

Why can't you people be happy that Metroid has a bunch of content in smash?

>>715007221
Smash is garbage. Take a shower and stop touching kids, you subhuman freaks.

>>715007135 (OP)
Fuck off, doomer.

Bump

>>715007980
Dude, come on. There's no way in hell. Metroid, despite the recent push, is still a niche franchise. 80$ for a C-list title is a hard no from normies. Prime 4 is fucked.

>>715007135 (OP)
What makes you think it'll be $80 when literally only Mario Kart is that price so far, especially when it's going to be on both Switch and Switch 2? It'll probably be $60 at the absolute most, probably lower.

Prime 4 isn't going to be $80, just like Bananza upcoming is not $80. This is anti-Switch doomer nonsense. They will most certainly price Prime 4 the same as Bananza if not lower maybe because the Metroid franchise isn't a top-seller like Zelda or Mario. The only $80 game so far is MKW because MK8 sold insanely well (70m+) and they wanted to push people to get the bundle.

>>715007221
what a fucking weird, barely relevant comment, if this isn't an AI post you might genuinely want to think more before you talk/type.

>>715012894
$60 for the base game, +$10 for the switch 2 upgrade. Just like BotW, Just like Legends ZA

You got rapelated, erpedophilesnoytrannic ;)

Yeah I'm sure Nintendo will charge more for Metroid than fucking Donkey Kong.

I fucking wish Netroid would go back in the vault, every time you niggers get a decent game that sells two copies you start thinking you're more relevant than you actually are.

>>715012894
Because corpos gonna corpo. They already got away with this 80$ shit with Mario Kart, why wouldn't they jack up the price of every other game?

>>715007135 (OP)
Switch 2 already has an insane userbase. Prime 4 has been a highly anticipated game, so it's bound to sell a few million.
Stop being such a doomer when you don't even know what you're talking about.

>>715007135 (OP)
>Nobody is going to pay 80$

The game will sell fine. Jesus christ Xenoblade games are more ambitious and costly than Fartroid and still doesn't sell as much as Fartroid Dread which sold over 3 million, that's a huge profit, and Xenoblade games still get made

Your niche sci-fi series is fine and will get more games dick'ed.

>>715014962
>>715015050
I never realized how horribly naive Metroid fans on /v/ are. Y'all got too cocky when Dread did okay.

>>715015332
Dread sold like 3m. It's fine. It will be fine. You shouldn't obsess over sales anyway, it does not really matter.
Metroid has never been a topseller, but it's still getting good games. That is enough.

>>715007135 (OP)
I would give anything for Nintendo to sell the rights to Metroid to someone who actually knows what they're doing

>>715007135 (OP)
Maybe Samus should just do porn than

>>715012894
Why do you tendies believe that only Mario kart is gonna be $80?

>>715015446
3mil is jack shit compared to Mario and Zelda. And that's the only thing a corporation like Nintendo will ever care about.

>>715015979
Because they're stupid, apparently.

Okay, faggot. 3m is still good for the series. Go buy stonks in Nintendo if you're so fucking concerned about sales.

>>715016263
You got rapelated, erpedophilesnoytrannic ;)

>>715016446
Sales keep IPs alive. Just look at Star Fox and F-Zero. Dead as shit cause they didn't sell.

>>715016263
Two years ago they thought tears of the dlc would be the only $70 game too, and now they’re defending the DK tech demo for the same price. I can’t understand.

>>715016784
>>715016750
You got rapelated, erpedophilesnoytrannic ;)

>>715016750
It is not about sales.
Those franchises could be brought back if Nintendo just chose to do so.
They haven't made any new Star Fox or F-Zero titles because they want them to showcase some unique new technology, or gimmick or whatever. They don't have any new ideas like that, so they haven't made any new games.

>>715016986
But then they release a $70 copy-pasted dlc for breath of the boring.

>>715016784
The lack of pattern recognition is fucking pathetic. Nintendo are not anyone's friend, and these idiots need to start understanding that.

Holy fuck, I am arguing with a child.

Corporate executives literally ONLY care about what will make money. And not just profit, it MUST be absolute gangbusters or it goes in the trash. You're a fucking idiot.

>>715017094
Legitimately mind boggling.
Like they have the audacity to raise the price of their games by $20 but they’re only gonna do it once?

>>715007135 (OP)
I could buy 3-4 amazing "metroidvanias" for the price of one nintendoslop. In fact all of them are guaranteed to be longer and actual video games and not just bing bing wahoos for toddlers.
Yes if you like dread you should fucking get a drill and use it on your skull.

>>715017401
I still can’t believe tendies bought a 5 hour game for $60 lmao

>>715017309
>it MUST be absolute gangbusters or it goes in the trash
This is just not true in the slightest and it can be easily proven by looking at Metroid, which has never done gangbuster numbers, but still consistently had new installments made.
Samus Returns on 3DS didn't sell insane numbers, but Dread was made and released. Metroid Prime Remaster was made and released. Prime 4 is being made and will be released.

You are just wrong.

>>715013779
You take video games far too seriously.
I can't imagine how much of a fucking faggot you are as a person.

again, where are you getting $80 from? stupid faggot

>>715017506
Metroid is a weird anomaly. I genuinely have no idea why Nintendo has been propping it up lately, and frankly, I find it suspicious.

>>715017838
It's because a lot of people like the games and they review and sell well.

>>715017767
As has been pointed out several times, they've already pulled this shit before. Fuck you're naive.

>>715017883
>Metroid
>sell well
...

>>715018262
Why do you care so much about the price of something you're not going to buy? Why didn't you freak out when Sony and Microsoft sold games for the same price?

>>715017681
Okay anon, keep deluding yourself into believing that Nintendo considers a series that regularly sells less than Fire Emblem, Xenoblade and Pikmin is a major enough series for them to consider giving an $80 price tag when they aren't even doing it for much bigger IPs.

>>715018262
>bananza, a switch 2 game is only gonna be 70 dollars

dude those 3 mil are more than the best sold megaman game and megaman has like 100+ games.

The brainwashing has already set in. Pathetic.

>>715019101
You were the one saying it would be 80 fucking faggot retard

>>715019240
Games shouldn't cost 70$ either, you dumb bitch. Hell, they shouldn't have cost 60.

>>715019380
You got rapelated, erpedophilesnoytrannic ;)

>>715007135 (OP)
Prime series has no effect on the main series.

tortanicfags should be dragged from their homes and raped to death publicly

>>715015979
Because they're intentionally duplicitous, like 85% of this entire board.

>>715015979
because their big 3D Donkey Kong is $70 you dumb nigger

>>715019746
You got rapelated, erpedophilesnoytrannic ;)

>>715013126
If I had to guess, the $80 games will be the major single-player/multiplayer games like Smash, whereas the big single player titles like Zelda and Mario will be $70, but with major DLCs arriving sooner than usual.

>>715018262
name more than one nintendo game that's $80. now.

>>715015979
Do you know what "so far" means?

>>715020351
Why are you so desperate to go to bat for the corpos, dude? NEVER trust them, under any circumstances. You should always assume they are out to screw you over. Again, they have pulled this shit before, and they WILL do it again.

>>715020970
You got rapelated, erpedophilesnoytrannic ;)

>>715007135 (OP)
Nintendo killed Metroid's momentum by thinking Namco could produce anything other than slop and getting Prime 4 rebooted, Metroid is just barely hanging in there because of Mercurysteam

>>715007135 (OP)
You made me go look for a price announcement that doesn't exist, fuck you OP.

>>715018408
I care just about enough to reply to your obsessive dorky impotent rage-fueled post. I don't need to deluxe myself of anything because it's a fucking video game, a toy for kids, it doesn't really matter that much in the grand scheme of things lol calm down you spastic.

>>715015781
Both the 2D and 3D series are done by external devs now, it's basically already happened.

>>715024330
OP is a fag, always

What do you hope the next game does differently than Dread? I want level design that isn't constantly guiding you via one way doors and shit but that's probably not going away, also fuck teleporters.

>>715007135 (OP)
They paid $60 for an 8 hour 2D Metroid. The series is fine.

>>715028091
nobody bought dread

>>715007135 (OP)
Prime 4 is 70$, not 80$

Prime games are shit and are not real metroid games

>>715019380
Why didn't you say anything about it when sony and microsoft made it the norm?

>>715036423
I'd say the ideal scenario is $60 for Switch 1 and 70 for Switch 2 but I don't see that happening now with Donny's new tariffs

>>715007135 (OP)
I'm less worried for Metroid as the series has survived worse. What worries me is the Switch 2's future as a whole.

Beyond the red salt mines full of deranged cocksucker tendies, the console as a whole has a dark vibe around it, like the WiiU had before. Bowser, the prices, Nintendo's bad customs finally going over the edge and real competition with stronger hardware (Steam, Snoy) are all impacting the sales.

A strong start doesn't always mean a long-term future.

>>715036426
The only good post in this thread. It's like you bitches just forgot about how MP2 and 3 sucked complete ass. Wake me up when we get a dread sequel.

Stealth acfag thread, maybe his buttbddy's

how do you live thinking like this.

>>715036610
It was always gonna be 70$ even on Switch 1, we have known this since the TotK situation
>>715036927
Take your meds, acfag

>>715037326
Considering Retro somehow got it to run at 60fps on the Switch 1 hardware, I don't doubt they could see that as enoug hreason to charge a premium, even for a more niche series like Metroid. In any case, that's gonna be a tough pill to swallow whenever they do give it a proper release date and price point

>>715007135 (OP)
>Nobody is going to pay 80$ for a glorified scavenger hunt.
I am.

>>715038768
I hope we don't have to at least, but seeing as though it's the only game I give a shit about anymore in this hellscape of an industry, guess I'll just have to suck it up and do it and then bow out

>>715014962
Prime 4 isn't a Switch 2 game, so the Switch 2 userbase doesn't matter.
There is an absolutely massive Switch 1 userbase however, and that's what counts.

The hope meme has gone too far.

>>715007135 (OP)
Metroid fans are so starved for content that they'll take anything their neglectful dad will give them.

>$80
Proofs?

>>715007135 (OP)
$80 in 2025 is a bargain compared to what some SNES cartridges cost in 1994

Adjusted for inflation, Donkey Kong Country was $150

>totally bro just waiting for a cool gimmick
>what's that? Two consoles in a row with no gimmick & star fox died on the console before it with a gimmick??? Thats not why its gone or because it sold bad

I don't play Metroid games for the scavenger hunt. I play because I get aroused when Samus turns into a ball and gets objectified/vored.
