E3 2017: Metroid Prime 4 Announced For Nintendo Switch

It's time to buy a switch

Lame.

Not in 2018 people. 2019 at the earliest.

In the meantime you will get Toad Treasure Deluxe Switch version.

How to keep the Switch relevant.................................................................show a 'announcement trailer' for a 'Metroid' game with absolutely nothing in it.

Comedy gold right there.

Nintendo announcing Metroid: Samus return is awesome news, it's kind of a remake of the original NES Metroid game. I'm just kind of concerned here after what i've heard WHAT Tanabe said about Metroid 4 for SWITCH.

“Personally I’d like to create a story centering around Sylux and Samus. We’ve done a story based on the Hunters, and this time around we’re doing a story on the Galactic Federation. I would like to cross the two over in the future. And of course see a little more of Samus.”

First of all, Sylux while mysterious, is a lil bit overrated, i would love seeing an origin story for Samus and know a little bit more about the bird-like Aliens the Chozos. I think a story about how Samus came to be is more interesting and creative than go after a random Bounty hunter.

AND ONE MORE THING: The game's name is Metroid, for what?? Is it imply that all the adventures of Samus the bounty hunter will be related to those stupid Metroid all over the galaxy??

2019 folks.

I'm really excited to see how they force movement controls into this one.

I don't care if the announcement looked jank, that Prime series music is so killing.

i got to beat all metroid prime game before i play the 4th one.

I always come to gamespot to read comments

Wonder if this one will be any good, hmm.

Next E3 2018, we will see a glimpse of Metroid Cutscene, on 2019, we will see the gameplay, and 2020 will be the release date

after delay, 2021 will be the release of Metroid Prime 4, for Switch U

This announcement was made with Windows Movie Maker? It looks like shit!

MP4, awesome!

Halo 4 however wasnt made by Bungie.

Following the franchise instead of rebooting it is risky and means that there are huge shoes to fill.

Even so, Nintendo is boss when it comes to straightening design and they can make a better job with MP4 than 343 did with Halo.

PS: ironic how it's in the very same 343 that many of the original Retro members work :D

Like I SAID IN THE GAMESPOT CHAT Live..

**** YES! **** YES! lol Love Metroid.

Glad its back. awesome, just awesome.

Makes me want to whip out 1 and 2 for Gamecube and play through them. I need to get 3 back for Wii.

Best announcement of E3

I wonder if they'll give us something to unlock a Switch version of the Trilogy with 4?

Well, now that we've got Super Mario Odyssey comin' out this year, a main series Pokemon game on the way, and the long-awaited Metroid Prime 4... looks like I'll be buying myself a Switch next year (although, to be fair, I was already planning on getting one eventually). I haven't been impressed with the Switch, but this E3 finally convinced me. Nintendo did good this time.

I hope it's as epic as the original.

Damn! I wanted a sequel to Federation Force. I am disappointed.

"learned at a separate E3 event that series developer Retro Studios is not handling development of the game."

Just why?! WHY!?!

I was sooo happy till i read that.

Dat theme....brings back memories

Wow i had lost hope...MPrime is one of my favorite game series ever i just hope Nintendo know what they are doing since Retro Studios (the true artists behind the trilogy) are not at the helm this time around.

So. The Switch is finally getting a game.

Glad for a new Metroid but disappointed it's more of the same series and not something new.

that's ecxellent news :)

Thank goodness Sony and Nintendo saved this E3! Tons of sweet AAA EXCLUSIVES for both PS4 and Switch!!

Its all about the games people, with metroid 4 my choice is clear as a ps4 gamer, I will get the switch over xbox.

Hard to get excited for something I haven’t even got to see a glimpse of yet.. but at least thats another game to look forward to even though its probably years off.

Still disappointing though.. was expecting more games, but there’s always TGS I guess.

Im hyped but worry a bit...., since its MP4 and not a new take, it wont have an impact as MP did back then.., but be more like MP2 or 3...

and MP3 was good with epic moments, it was overall not an epic game like MP1&2.., and with games out like dead space, doom, prey etc., MP4 needs to add fereshness too still impress (or it will "fail" like MP3 did..., which was still like mentioned a good game, just more like an addon)
