I wonder who would be making it cos without Retro or another studio of similar mentality they might easily get it wrong and end up with something more like, I dunno, SEGA's Binary Domain with a dose of Other M stylings and CG movies or something. Binary Domain was good obviously but clearly not what the Prime series has been about.

If it's confirmed for 2018, Metroid Prime 4 will be my most anticipated titile of the year !

This January Direct can't come soon enough.

That was a Metroid-like by people who had made another Metroidvania in the past though, so it fit, with Nintendo's guidance on top (and the fact it was a remake rather than all new) helping to make it better than their last game.

If they announce the developers and they also worked on games that could fit Prime's mold I'll worry less (same if the trailer/footage is mind blowing regardless of dev of course). Not that I'll be 100% set on my mind pre-release.

It's happening. I always believed. If it releases in 2018, then it will automatically be my most anticipated game.

I hope we have a date soon. The Prime 4 announcement was the only reason my other half agreed to get a Switch in the first place.

I seem to remember reading Nintendo were doing this one entirely in-house. I could be wrong, though.

Retro hadn't worked on anything like Prime till they worked on Prime.

I've always had a feeling that MP4 was going to be released in 2018. Mind you, this is not necessarily a confirmation but I'm still betting that's the case.
