Metroid 4 is not dead yet and could even soon give us a monkey of life. New information gives some hope. However, will it have time to be released on the Nintendo Switch?
Among the list of long-awaited Nintendo games, Metroid Prime 4 is surely the one that arouses the most interest. Announced for the first time at E3 2017, the game managed to unleash the crowd, impatient to soon have the next episode of Samus’ adventures. But nothing since then… the publisher has not given any official announcement. Add to this that the Nintendo Switch is slowly reaching the end of its life, which doesn’t leave much time to release the game on this machine. It is clear that Big N no longer has any interest in releasing such an important software on a console that has already made its mark. Fans’ hope now lies on the famous Nintendo Switch 2, and the latest news from the studios is more in this direction.
Metroid 4 is not dead yet
After several years of waiting, and a simple logo, Nintendo has yet to reveal any image of Metroid 4. You might think that the project is abandoned, but that is not the case. Jeff Grubb, well known in the industry for his good news, recently made an important revelation. In a Giant Bomb video discussing the latest Nintendo Direct, the man explained that he had information regarding a remake ofEpic Mickey and Metroid Prime 4, coming from the same source. As Internet users noticed, Grubb was not wrong about the return of the Disney star, since the Nintendo Direct quickly confirmed his assertions. By keeping this logic, we can therefore give credence to his information on Metroid 4.
On the social network X Jeff Grubb tells us a little more about this information, of which he is “confident”. “As always, let me tell you exactly what I know. Firstly, I don’t know if the game will be released this year […]. But since *LAST YEAR* Nintendo is reportedly looking to get assets by May of this year. », we can read. Although this remains very vague, it allows us to understand that Metroid 4 is still part of the company’s projects. Still according to Grubb, the assets could be used to create two trailers, including one for gameplay. He notes, however, that this data may have evolved since then. What is certain is that at the rate things are going, the Nintendo Switch will surely be overtaken in favor of the arrival of the Switch 2, which could be announced in 2024. To see.
