      Its weird he says it wont release on Switch vs saying it will be the release title for the next system. Twilight Princess and BOTW served as intros to Nintendos new systems and they also released on the old. Its clear Nintendo will do the same which is why they are re releasing the old Primes on Switch

      Given all the hiring Nintendo has done for Retro, and the difference in genres, it's safe to assume Metroid Prime 4 is going to be much more expensive to make than Pikmin 4, so Nintendo will probably want to have a lengthier marketing period for that game. So I think it's just too late for MP4 for the switch, they wont have time to market it before the new console is out.

      @LuckyTrouble777 Рік тому +10

      The dirty little secret about the Prime Remaster is that it's basically the same game with a new coat of paint that had been included in the Prime Trilogy on Wii. It's not like they remade the game in a new engine or anything like that, which is why they use remaster instead of remake to market it. Odds are really low they're going to be using their Gamecube era engine to develop a game coming out no earlier than sometime in 2024. That said, I don't doubt that they'll *try* to make a functional Switch version just to avoid the bad press that would come with completely abandoning the system after the game was initially announced for it in the same year the Switch released.
      It's probably worth noting as well that the cross generational efforts so far have mostly been Zelda, where Twilight Princess released on Gamecube and Wii, two consoles damn near identical under the hood in terms of base hardware, and Breath of the Wild released on Wii U and Switch, where it only really worked because the Switch was a little bit weaker than the Wii U so they could yield similar performance. If the Switch successor represents the hardware step up it should have with all the advancements of mobile tech in the past decade, anything developed for it could sincerely be outside the scope of the Switch without significant compromises though.

Everyone would always look back on it with a sense of what could have been, with an overall outlook that the long wait was in fact not worth it. Not that it's going to turn out that way; but setting such low standards is never a good thing in the long run.

    It's important to keep in mind that Metroid Prime's original release in 2002 gave it the reputation for being a cutting edge, top tier graphics experience. That's why prime 4 releasing on the current switch has always been a sketchy idea. Even prime 3 suffered a bit from the Wii's lagging behind of the hardware specs of its competitors at the time. Prime 4 being used as a showcase & flex of the new console's capabilities would be good for both Metroid and Nintendo

      This isn't really a tough prediction. With the Switch 2 most likely coming out next year, it almost being May and nothing at all being announced until at least a month after TotK releases, it's just too late for MP4 to drop on the switch. It's almost common sense at this stage that it's a switch 2 game, maybe crossgen maybe not.

    After I played Metroid Prime Remastered, I lost all anxiety about Metroid Prime 4. I realized that Retro knew exactly what they were doing, and that if Prime Remastered was any indication, Prime 4 would be a 10 out of 10 masterpiece. Prime Remastered is probably my single favourite Nintendo Switch game now. Personally I think we will see the game launch for the current Switch in 2024. The logistics are not great for a new console coming in 2024. Also, they have apparently been hiring cinematic directors at Retro Studios since last year, which means that they're likely getting ready to put out trailers for Prime 4.

    I've actually had a similar idea in the back of my mind recently. It's been nearly six years since the last big full on 3d mario, and if it is gonna be six years, then that will have been the longest wait for a 3d mario game ever. I've also taken note of how Nintendo likes to release big new 3d Mario games a little bit after (usually no more than a year) a new console has released. Think Mario 64, mario sunshine, mario galaxy, mario odyssey. So i also kinda think that nintendo is gearing up for the announcement of their next console

      I think you forget they made the Virtual Boy, which's technically a VR console 😂. The Switch has several VR compatible modes in games like Smash Bros Ultimate and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe to name a couple. This is despite the awful resolution ppi, refresh rate, pixel smoothness, ghosting, and response time of the normal Switch screen for VR and relatively low power.
      I doubt we will see something as good as the PSVR2 or a high end PC gaming headset but they still have the potential to make something pretty cool that would be really fun. They could easily beat something more budget like the Meta Quest 2 if they wanted.
      Worth noting the Steam Deck a technical marvel PC gaming handheld console that has already past 3 million units sold, "only" has around the power of a last gen PS4. Even though it's already year old and many more powerful gaming handhelds have released since then, it was heavily subsidized and sold at a loss for $400-620. So we'd be more looking at a VR with the performance of the PSVR 1 upgraded if Nintendo were to make one but with much more modern tech
      I am guessing the next console Nintendo makes will be $450-500. I don't blame them for wanting to wait longer to release a new platform as every year they wait the tech gets much better. I just hope the screen will have a higher refresh rate like 75hz I think that'd be cool

The 3D was in fact the reason we invested HEAVILY from 2011 to just last year in N's humble handheld. The immersion factor was awesome, despite the lo-tech under the hood. A PSVita would've been so much better with glasses-free 3D!
      Aside from retro gaming, I'm into (pun?) VR gaming experiences. Not on PC, though that'd be the most immersive (and $$$$$). PSVR, and soon PSVR2. "RE7VR" and "Moss" are two great games!!
      Yes, I noticed N's half-hearted forays into VR with the papery contraption that fit around the original Switch. Didn't own the Switch, so had little interest in that. I'm hopeful N will see the squiggly glowing writing on the wall and give us a real VR option next time.

    I think you're right, it just makes sense for it to be released alongside or near a new console given how long it's been. Though I think they'd want to make it cross-gen to take advantage of the largest possible audience. As you said, Metroid needs all the help it can get.
    Given the great performance of past Prime games, they'd likely put a lot of focus into proper scalability. That way it has solid Switch performance while still taking advantage of the power on the next system. I imagine that would add quite a bit to the development time if that is the case.

    Yea after Arlos last Prime 4 video I had this thought in my head for a while. The switch is in its final cycle, and I think Tears of the Kingdom is gonna be Nintendos last triple A title for the system. Not to mention they practically have nothing after July. Mayyyybe Prof Layton will drop in the fall or something but Layton isn't a massive franchise. Mario also, everyone was wondering when the next mario game is coming. Every next gen system has always had at least 1 mainline Mario game. Mario 64, Sunshine=GameCube, Galaxy 1&2=Wii, 3D World=Wii U, Odyssey=Switch. So i think both Prime 4 and the next Mario game are gonna be brand spanking new games for the next generation of Nintendos console. As for Zelda, I'm almost certain they're gonna make a version for both the Switch and whatever next gen console they're making for Tears of the Kingdom. They did it with BoTW, im sure they'll do it here too. I HOPE Prime 4 is a launch title bc Metroid is unfortunately may not be massive franchise to Nintendo, but the fans....the FANBASE is massive. And after the release of both Dread and Prime Remaster, the base grew even more with brand new fans. So yea, it's win win
