i hope the US and EU covers are different and the EU one is better, to balance out botwSwitch boxarts have been amazing so far, hopefully Prime 4 continues the trend
all we know is something metroid being there is heavily hinted at, no idea if it's trilogy, 4, or both.So what's the tldr so far? Trilogy all but confirmed? I'll be happy if i that's all we see, tbh.
What, is this really how they did the Metroid Prime 3 reveal?
I sure hope that they do better next time!

This is way better than what we'd got at E3 last year, tbh.

Something Metroid seems extremely likely. We all hope it's MPTHD plus MP4 trailer.
At the last VG awards Nintendo announced a release for Bayo1 and 2 for Switch and Bayo 3 was in development. This year it would be choice if they followed that up with an announcement of Metroid Trilogy for Switch was coming soon and then show off some MP4 footage

at 0:23 you can hear someone say "...what the fuck"

I haven't seen that before, but that strikes me more as a tech demo than anything. That said there was the '3' at the end.
We burn everything down

At least it was better than the Prime 4 reveal lol.
I remember watching this one a million times.

How salty would people be if they didnt show Metroid Prime 4 or trilogy and instead only had Metroid Other M HD to show.

Can you imagine if a trailer like this is the one they showed?
- Generic fast-paced techno soundtrack
- No sense of isolation
- Random shots of people playing the game (standing up... for some reason)
- Focus on the gimmicky motion control aspects
Watching that and, damn, it is crazy how far video game marketing has come.
Fuck it, I am calling it
They will start with a trailer for Metroid Prime Trilogy on Switch. 60 fps, 1080p, redrawn textures, new lighting engine, choose between motion controls or regular controls. To be released in March 2019.
Geoff, visibly unimpressed: "So yeah, that's it for Nintendo. Here with me President of Nintendo of America and COO, Reggie Fils-Aimé to talk more about these ports."
Reggie: "Thank you for having me, Geoff. It seems like after all those years, you still can't do it without me."
Geoff: "I, uh-"
Reggie: "So, the Metroid Prime Trilogy. Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. Three incredible games, critically acclaimed, by our talented team at Retro Studios in Austin, Texas. These are the games we want Switch players to have, and now, for the first time ever, take them wherever they want."
Geoff: "Alright, okay. So, thank you, we can't wait to see what Nintendo has in store for 2019."
Reggie: "Geoff, Geoff, Geoff. When will you ever learn, you little raggamuffin. Did you really think I would only bring ports to your show?"
Geoff: "So tha-"
Reggie: "What is my name, Geoff?"
Geoff: "I don't under-"
Reggie: "WHAT IS MY NAME?"
Geoff: "Reggie! It's Reggie!"
Reggie: "You're goddamn right. And what am I about?"
Geoff: "Kicking ass?"
Reggie: "And?"
Geoff: "Taking names?"
Reggie: "That's right. And we at Nintendo are about making games. That's why, tonight, I have three more announcements for you and our fans all over the world."
Geoff feels that he is about to lose control of his show but is unable to do anything about it.
Reggie: "Roll that shit."
The first trailer plays. We see through the eyes of someone who is running through a rainforest. The person is breathing heavily and is probably hurt. They dive through shrubbery, jump over fissures when suddenly the ground under their feet caves in and they fall. It is dark, we can't see anything but we can hear. A massive beast, vicious and brutal, comes closer and closer, ready to kill its prey, when suddenly...
...A HUD appears around the edges of the screen, switches to night vision, an arm cannon raises and shoots three swift missiles. It is Samus! A montage of various visually rich alien locales plays. We see Samus fight aliens, turn into a morphball, switch between different beams and visors. It fades to black and for a single moment we see three red eyes that quickly vanish. The Metroid Prime 4 logo appears but "Prime 4" slowly fades away to reveal...
Metroid Dread
for Nintendo Switch
Fall 2019
Geoff: "Wow. There you go, Metroid Dread for Ni-"
Reggie: "Don't interrupt me. When we announced Metroid Prime 4 in 2017, we set our fans' imagination on fire. How could we follow up the revolutionary trilogy? It seemed impossible. But producer Mr. Kensuke Tanabe and the talented team at Bandai Namco Singapore came up with an answer: Metroid Dread. And we can't wait to show you more at next year's E3. Now I know what you're thinking, Geoff: Why isn't Retro Studios making this? Well, I am glad you're asking. For years, fans have been wondering what Retro Studios has been working on. For good reason. With Metroid Prime they revolutionized the first person shooter. In Donkey Kong Country Returns they brought the joy of challenging platformers to millions of people. With every project, they have revitalized characters and worlds that are extremely dear to us at Nintendo. The game that I am about to show you is the next chapter for Retro Studios."
We're in a workshop. Tools are spread out on a work bench and there is a lot of commotion but we cannot make out the words. The camera pans over to something mechanical, we trace the lines of a strangely familiar machine in white with blue accents. We zoom out to reveal an Arwing... but it looks different, like a car. Slippy pops up from behind it, his face smeared with oil. He says: "Here you go!" The camera snaps around and we see Fox and Falco fighting, Peppy trying to keep them apart. The repairs are done and Fox shouts: "Let's rock and roll!"
Fox zooms around a race track at lightning speed but it becomes apparent that this isn't a typical racing game. He shoots down enemies, loops around through canyons, asteroid fields, seamlessly exits and reenters planets' atmospheres. We see epic boss fights with a dynamic camera, your team constantly giving you pointers through your voice comm, Fox walking around in Corneria in some form of adventure mode where he starts quests etc. The trailer ends with an intense race that leads Fox through a battlefield with two opposing factions fighting each other. He dodges spaceships, lasers, explosions, the music swells up, Falco tells Fox that he warned him, Peppy tells him to be careful but only Slippy has useful advice: "Do a barrel-". Cut.
Star Fox Grand Prix
for Nintendo Switch
Summer 2019
Geoff: "..."
Reggie: "Aren't you going to say something, Geoff?"
Geoff: "No."
Reggie: "I thought so. Star Fox Grand Prix is Retro Studios vision for the Star Fox universe. And next summer, you and your friends will be able to meet up in Corneria for breathtaking races all across the Lylat System with your own StarFox Grand Prix avatars in up to 16 player races."
Geoff: "That is amazing, Reggie!"
Reggie: "Geoff. Didn't I tell you I was about taking names?"
Geoff: "You did."
Reggie: "Then don't make me take yours. For our last reveal tonight, I want to bring a special guest to the stage: Mr. Hideki Kamiya."
Kamiya gets on stage, shakes Reggie's hand. As he walks towards Geoff, Reggie slaps his butt but Kamiya is unfazed.
Kamiya: "I am here to present a game, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch. As a game creator, it has been my passion to finish games and ship them. Today, we will give you the first look at our new creation. Prepare to see action in a game that will actually be released."
We see the same race from the end of the Star Fox GP trailer but from a different perspective, from below. We hear rattling and clanking, the camera pans around and it's Captain Falcon trying to repair his Blue Falcon, which was seemingly shot in the race, and giving up. He closes the hood and raises an angry fist against the sky. We cut to Captain Falcon pushing the Blue Falcon through the streets of Mute City back into his garage. He slowly walks to his door where he finds a note. He reads it, crumples it up and we cut to gameplay. You play Captain Falcon in a beat 'em up/racer hybrid where you can seamlessly combo with your Blue Falcon. The trailer ends with the iconic Falcon Punch into the camera, the screen breaks and reveals...
F-Zero: The Falcon Rises
for Nintendo Switch
We go back to the stage where Reggie is shadowboxing and punches Geoff in the shoulder. Kamiya laughs.
Geoff, rubbing his shoulder: "That was amazing. Mr. Kamiya, what made you choose to work on something like F-Zero?"
Kamiya: "Ask your mom."
Geoff: "...ok, well, when can we play it?"
Kamiya: "Next week in game magazines."
Geoff: "Can you tell us anything about this game?"
Kamiya: "Eat shit."
Reggie grabs Geoff, goes for a suplex and Kamiya catches him with a clothesline. Both of them walk off the stage.

They will start with a trailer for Metroid Prime Trilogy on Switch. 60 fps, 1080p, redrawn textures, new lighting engine, choose between motion controls or regular controls. To be released in March 2019.
Geoff, visibly unimpressed: "So yeah, that's it for Nintendo. Here with me President of Nintendo of America and COO, Reggie Fils-Aimé to talk more about these ports."
Reggie: "Thank you for having me, Geoff. It seems like after all those years, you still can't do it without me."
Geoff: "I, uh-"
Reggie: "So, the Metroid Prime Trilogy. Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. Three incredible games, critically acclaimed, by our talented team at Retro Studios in Austin, Texas. These are the games we want Switch players to have, and now, for the first time ever, take them wherever they want."
Geoff: "Alright, okay. So, thank you, we can't wait to see what Nintendo has in store for 2019."
Reggie: "Geoff, Geoff, Geoff. When will you ever learn, you little raggamuffin. Did you really think I would only bring ports to your show?"
Geoff: "So tha-"
Reggie: "What is my name, Geoff?"
Geoff: "I don't under-"
Reggie: "WHAT IS MY NAME?"
Geoff: "Reggie! It's Reggie!"
Reggie: "You're goddamn right. And what am I about?"
Geoff: "Kicking ass?"
Reggie: "And?"
Geoff: "Taking names?"
Reggie: "That's right. And we at Nintendo are about making games. That's why, tonight, I have three more announcements for you and our fans all over the world."
Geoff feels that he is about to lose control of his show but is unable to do anything about it.
Reggie: "Roll that shit."
The first trailer plays. We see through the eyes of someone who is running through a rainforest. The person is breathing heavily and is probably hurt. They dive through shrubbery, jump over fissures when suddenly the ground under their feet caves in and they fall. It is dark, we can't see anything but we can hear. A massive beast, vicious and brutal, comes closer and closer, ready to kill its prey, when suddenly...
...A HUD appears around the edges of the screen, switches to night vision, an arm cannon raises and shoots three swift missiles. It is Samus! A montage of various visually rich alien locales plays. We see Samus fight aliens, turn into a morphball, switch between different beams and visors. It fades to black and for a single moment we see three red eyes that quickly vanish. The Metroid Prime 4 logo appears but "Prime 4" slowly fades away to reveal...
Metroid Dread
for Nintendo Switch
Fall 2019
Geoff: "Wow. There you go, Metroid Dread for Ni-"
Reggie: "Don't interrupt me. When we announced Metroid Prime 4 in 2017, we set our fans' imagination on fire. How could we follow up the revolutionary trilogy? It seemed impossible. But producer Mr. Kensuke Tanabe and the talented team at Bandai Namco Singapore came up with an answer: Metroid Dread. And we can't wait to show you more at next year's E3. Now I know what you're thinking, Geoff: Why isn't Retro Studios making this? Well, I am glad you're asking. For years, fans have been wondering what Retro Studios has been working on. For good reason. With Metroid Prime they revolutionized the first person shooter. In Donkey Kong Country Returns they brought the joy of challenging platformers to millions of people. With every project, they have revitalized characters and worlds that are extremely dear to us at Nintendo. The game that I am about to show you is the next chapter for Retro Studios."
We're in a workshop. Tools are spread out on a work bench and there is a lot of commotion but we cannot make out the words. The camera pans over to something mechanical, we trace the lines of a strangely familiar machine in white with blue accents. We zoom out to reveal an Arwing... but it looks different, like a car. Slippy pops up from behind it, his face smeared with oil. He says: "Here you go!" The camera snaps around and we see Fox and Falco fighting, Peppy trying to keep them apart. The repairs are done and Fox shouts: "Let's rock and roll!"
Fox zooms around a race track at lightning speed but it becomes apparent that this isn't a typical racing game. He shoots down enemies, loops around through canyons, asteroid fields, seamlessly exits and reenters planets' atmospheres. We see epic boss fights with a dynamic camera, your team constantly giving you pointers through your voice comm, Fox walking around in Corneria in some form of adventure mode where he starts quests etc. The trailer ends with an intense race that leads Fox through a battlefield with two opposing factions fighting each other. He dodges spaceships, lasers, explosions, the music swells up, Falco tells Fox that he warned him, Peppy tells him to be careful but only Slippy has useful advice: "Do a barrel-". Cut.
Star Fox Grand Prix
for Nintendo Switch
Summer 2019
Geoff: "..."
Reggie: "Aren't you going to say something, Geoff?"
Geoff: "No."
Reggie: "I thought so. Star Fox Grand Prix is Retro Studios vision for the Star Fox universe. And next summer, you and your friends will be able to meet up in Corneria for breathtaking races all across the Lylat System with your own StarFox Grand Prix avatars in up to 16 player races."
Geoff: "That is amazing, Reggie!"
Reggie: "Geoff. Didn't I tell you I was about taking names?"
Geoff: "You did."
Reggie: "Then don't make me take yours. For our last reveal tonight, I want to bring a special guest to the stage: Mr. Hideki Kamiya."
Kamiya gets on stage, shakes Reggie's hand. As he walks towards Geoff, Reggie slaps his butt but Kamiya is unfazed.
Kamiya: "I am here to present a game, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch. As a game creator, it has been my passion to finish games and ship them. Today, we will give you the first look at our new creation. Prepare to see action in a game that will actually be released."
We see the same race from the end of the Star Fox GP trailer but from a different perspective, from below. We hear rattling and clanking, the camera pans around and it's Captain Falcon trying to repair his Blue Falcon, which was seemingly shot in the race, and giving up. He closes the hood and raises an angry fist against the sky. We cut to Captain Falcon pushing the Blue Falcon through the streets of Mute City back into his garage. He slowly walks to his door where he finds a note. He reads it, crumples it up and we cut to gameplay. You play Captain Falcon in a beat 'em up/racer hybrid where you can seamlessly combo with your Blue Falcon. The trailer ends with the iconic Falcon Punch into the camera, the screen breaks and reveals...
F-Zero: The Falcon Rises
for Nintendo Switch
We go back to the stage where Reggie is shadowboxing and punches Geoff in the shoulder. Kamiya laughs.
Geoff, rubbing his shoulder: "That was amazing. Mr. Kamiya, what made you choose to work on something like F-Zero?"
Kamiya: "Ask your mom."
Geoff: "...ok, well, when can we play it?"
Kamiya: "Next week in game magazines."
Geoff: "Can you tell us anything about this game?"
Kamiya: "Eat shit."
Reggie grabs Geoff, goes for a suplex and Kamiya catches him with a clothesline. Both of them walk off the stage.
Thank you! That was quite fun.

With every project, they have revitalized characters and worlds that are extremely dear to us at Nintendo. The game that I am about to show you is the next chapter for Retro Studios."
We're in a workshop. Tools are spread out on a work bench and there is a lot of commotion but we cannot make out the words. The camera pans over to something mechanical, we trace the lines of a strangely familiar machine in white with blue accents. We zoom out to reveal an Arwing... but it looks different, like a car. Slippy pops up from behind it, his face smeared with oil. He says: "Here you go!" The camera snaps around and we see Fox and Falco fighting, Peppy trying to keep them apart. The repairs are done and Fox shouts: "Let's rock and roll!"
Fox zooms around a race track at lightning speed but it becomes apparent that this isn't a typical racing game. He shoots down enemies, loops around through canyons, asteroid fields, seamlessly exits and reenters planets' atmospheres. We see epic boss fights with a dynamic camera, your team constantly giving you pointers through your voice comm, Fox walking around in Corneria in some form of adventure mode where he starts quests etc. The trailer ends with an intense race that leads Fox through a battlefield with two opposing factions fighting each other. He dodges spaceships, lasers, explosions, the music swells up, Falco tells Fox that he warned him, Peppy tells him to be careful but only Slippy has useful advice: "Do a barrel-". Cut.
Star Fox Grand Prix
for Nintendo Switch
Summer 2019
Geoff: "..."
Reggie: "Aren't you going to say something, Geoff?"
Geoff: "No."
Reggie: "I thought so. Star Fox Grand Prix is Retro Studios vision for the Star Fox universe. And next summer, you and your friends will be able to meet up in Corneria for breathtaking races all across the Lylat System with your own StarFox Grand Prix avatars in up to 16 player races."
Geoff: "That is amazing, Reggie!"
Reggie: "Geoff. Didn't I tell you I was about taking names?"
Geoff: "You did."
Reggie: "Then don't make me take yours. For our last reveal tonight, I want to bring a special guest to the stage: Mr. Hideki Kamiya."
Kamiya gets on stage, shakes Reggie's hand. As he walks towards Geoff, Reggie slaps his butt but Kamiya is unfazed.
Kamiya: "I am here to present a game, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch. As a game creator, it has been my passion to finish games and ship them. Today, we will give you the first look at our new creation. Prepare to see action in a game that will actually be released."
We see the same race from the end of the Star Fox GP trailer but from a different perspective, from below. We hear rattling and clanking, the camera pans around and it's Captain Falcon trying to repair his Blue Falcon, which was seemingly shot in the race, and giving up. He closes the hood and raises an angry fist against the sky. We cut to Captain Falcon pushing the Blue Falcon through the streets of Mute City back into his garage. He slowly walks to his door where he finds a note. He reads it, crumples it up and we cut to gameplay. You play Captain Falcon in a beat 'em up/racer hybrid where you can seamlessly combo with your Blue Falcon. The trailer ends with the iconic Falcon Punch into the camera, the screen breaks and reveals...
F-Zero: The Falcon Rises
for Nintendo Switch
We go back to the stage where Reggie is shadowboxing and punches Geoff in the shoulder. Kamiya laughs.
Geoff, rubbing his shoulder: "That was amazing. Mr. Kamiya, what made you choose to work on something like F-Zero?"
Kamiya: "Ask your mom."
Geoff: "...ok, well, when can we play it?"
Kamiya: "Next week in game magazines."
Geoff: "Can you tell us anything about this game?"
Kamiya: "Eat shit."
Reggie grabs Geoff, goes for a suplex and Kamiya catches him with a clothesline. Both of them walk off the stage.
You can tell this is fake because Geoff isn't a good enough actor to pull this all off.
Fuck it, I am calling it
They will start with a trailer for Metroid Prime Trilogy on Switch. 60 fps, 1080p, redrawn textures, new lighting engine, choose between motion controls or regular controls. To be released in March 2019.
Geoff, visibly unimpressed: "So yeah, that's it for Nintendo. Here with me President of Nintendo of America and COO, Reggie Fils-Aimé to talk more about these ports."
Reggie: "Thank you for having me, Geoff. It seems like after all those years, you still can't do it without me."
Geoff: "I, uh-"
Reggie: "So, the Metroid Prime Trilogy. Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. Three incredible games, critically acclaimed, by our talented team at Retro Studios in Austin, Texas. These are the games we want Switch players to have, and now, for the first time ever, take them wherever they want."
Geoff: "Alright, okay. So, thank you, we can't wait to see what Nintendo has in store for 2019."
Reggie: "Geoff, Geoff, Geoff. When will you ever learn, you little raggamuffin. Did you really think I would only bring ports to your show?"
Geoff: "So tha-"
Reggie: "What is my name, Geoff?"
Geoff: "I don't under-"
Reggie: "WHAT IS MY NAME?"
Geoff: "Reggie! It's Reggie!"
Reggie: "You're goddamn right. And what am I about?"
Geoff: "Kicking ass?"
Reggie: "And?"
Geoff: "Taking names?"
Reggie: "That's right. And we at Nintendo are about making games. That's why, tonight, I have three more announcements for you and our fans all over the world."
Geoff feels that he is about to lose control of his show but is unable to do anything about it.
Reggie: "Roll that shit."
The first trailer plays. We see through the eyes of someone who is running through a rainforest. The person is breathing heavily and is probably hurt. They dive through shrubbery, jump over fissures when suddenly the ground under their feet caves in and they fall. It is dark, we can't see anything but we can hear. A massive beast, vicious and brutal, comes closer and closer, ready to kill its prey, when suddenly...
...A HUD appears around the edges of the screen, switches to night vision, an arm cannon raises and shoots three swift missiles. It is Samus! A montage of various visually rich alien locales plays. We see Samus fight aliens, turn into a morphball, switch between different beams and visors. It fades to black and for a single moment we see three red eyes that quickly vanish. The Metroid Prime 4 logo appears but "Prime 4" slowly fades away to reveal...
Metroid Dread
for Nintendo Switch
Fall 2019
Geoff: "Wow. There you go, Metroid Dread for Ni-"
Reggie: "Don't interrupt me. When we announced Metroid Prime 4 in 2017, we set our fans' imagination on fire. How could we follow up the revolutionary trilogy? It seemed impossible. But producer Mr. Kensuke Tanabe and the talented team at Bandai Namco Singapore came up with an answer: Metroid Dread. And we can't wait to show you more at next year's E3. Now I know what you're thinking, Geoff: Why isn't Retro Studios making this? Well, I am glad you're asking. For years, fans have been wondering what Retro Studios has been working on.

He slowly walks to his door where he finds a note. He reads it, crumples it up and we cut to gameplay. You play Captain Falcon in a beat 'em up/racer hybrid where you can seamlessly combo with your Blue Falcon. The trailer ends with the iconic Falcon Punch into the camera, the screen breaks and reveals...
F-Zero: The Falcon Rises
for Nintendo Switch
We go back to the stage where Reggie is shadowboxing and punches Geoff in the shoulder. Kamiya laughs.
Geoff, rubbing his shoulder: "That was amazing. Mr. Kamiya, what made you choose to work on something like F-Zero?"
Kamiya: "Ask your mom."
Geoff: "...ok, well, when can we play it?"
Kamiya: "Next week in game magazines."
Geoff: "Can you tell us anything about this game?"
Kamiya: "Eat shit."
Reggie grabs Geoff, goes for a suplex and Kamiya catches him with a clothesline. Both of them walk off the stage.
This is probably the greatest post I've ever seen. This is the stuff dreams are made of.
Metroid Prime 4 is Nintendo's next big game, if they game receives a BotW/Mario Odyssey style blowout at 2019's E3, then the game will definitely come in 2019. If it doesn't and it's just shown and/or playable without too much focus on it, then it will definitely won't be a 2019 title.
I think Animal Crossing is their next big game unless Pokemon comes out before it.
Damn man, how did you get access to the Game Awards script?Fuck it, I am calling it
They will start with a trailer for Metroid Prime Trilogy on Switch. 60 fps, 1080p, redrawn textures, new lighting engine, choose between motion controls or regular controls. To be released in March 2019.
Geoff, visibly unimpressed: "So yeah, that's it for Nintendo. Here with me President of Nintendo of America and COO, Reggie Fils-Aimé to talk more about these ports."
Reggie: "Thank you for having me, Geoff. It seems like after all those years, you still can't do it without me."
Geoff: "I, uh-"
Reggie: "So, the Metroid Prime Trilogy. Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. Three incredible games, critically acclaimed, by our talented team at Retro Studios in Austin, Texas. These are the games we want Switch players to have, and now, for the first time ever, take them wherever they want."
Geoff: "Alright, okay. So, thank you, we can't wait to see what Nintendo has in store for 2019."
Reggie: "Geoff, Geoff, Geoff. When will you ever learn, you little raggamuffin. Did you really think I would only bring ports to your show?"
Geoff: "So tha-"
Reggie: "What is my name, Geoff?"
Geoff: "I don't under-"
Reggie: "WHAT IS MY NAME?"
Geoff: "Reggie! It's Reggie!"
Reggie: "You're goddamn right. And what am I about?"
Geoff: "Kicking ass?"
Reggie: "And?"
Geoff: "Taking names?"
Reggie: "That's right. And we at Nintendo are about making games. That's why, tonight, I have three more announcements for you and our fans all over the world."
Geoff feels that he is about to lose control of his show but is unable to do anything about it.
Reggie: "Roll that shit."
The first trailer plays. We see through the eyes of someone who is running through a rainforest. The person is breathing heavily and is probably hurt. They dive through shrubbery, jump over fissures when suddenly the ground under their feet caves in and they fall. It is dark, we can't see anything but we can hear. A massive beast, vicious and brutal, comes closer and closer, ready to kill its prey, when suddenly...
...A HUD appears around the edges of the screen, switches to night vision, an arm cannon raises and shoots three swift missiles. It is Samus! A montage of various visually rich alien locales plays. We see Samus fight aliens, turn into a morphball, switch between different beams and visors. It fades to black and for a single moment we see three red eyes that quickly vanish. The Metroid Prime 4 logo appears but "Prime 4" slowly fades away to reveal...
Metroid Dread
for Nintendo Switch
Fall 2019
Geoff: "Wow. There you go, Metroid Dread for Ni-"
Reggie: "Don't interrupt me. When we announced Metroid Prime 4 in 2017, we set our fans' imagination on fire. How could we follow up the revolutionary trilogy? It seemed impossible. But producer Mr. Kensuke Tanabe and the talented team at Bandai Namco Singapore came up with an answer: Metroid Dread. And we can't wait to show you more at next year's E3. Now I know what you're thinking, Geoff: Why isn't Retro Studios making this? Well, I am glad you're asking. For years, fans have been wondering what Retro Studios has been working on. For good reason. With Metroid Prime they revolutionized the first person shooter. In Donkey Kong Country Returns they brought the joy of challenging platformers to millions of people. With every project, they have revitalized characters and worlds that are extremely dear to us at Nintendo. The game that I am about to show you is the next chapter for Retro Studios."
We're in a workshop. Tools are spread out on a work bench and there is a lot of commotion but we cannot make out the words. The camera pans over to something mechanical, we trace the lines of a strangely familiar machine in white with blue accents. We zoom out to reveal an Arwing... but it looks different, like a car. Slippy pops up from behind it, his face smeared with oil. He says: "Here you go!" The camera snaps around and we see Fox and Falco fighting, Peppy trying to keep them apart. The repairs are done and Fox shouts: "Let's rock and roll!"
Fox zooms around a race track at lightning speed but it becomes apparent that this isn't a typical racing game. He shoots down enemies, loops around through canyons, asteroid fields, seamlessly exits and reenters planets' atmospheres. We see epic boss fights with a dynamic camera, your team constantly giving you pointers through your voice comm, Fox walking around in Corneria in some form of adventure mode where he starts quests etc. The trailer ends with an intense race that leads Fox through a battlefield with two opposing factions fighting each other. He dodges spaceships, lasers, explosions, the music swells up, Falco tells Fox that he warned him, Peppy tells him to be careful but only Slippy has useful advice: "Do a barrel-". Cut.
Star Fox Grand Prix
for Nintendo Switch
Summer 2019
Geoff: "..."
Reggie: "Aren't you going to say something, Geoff?"
Geoff: "No."
Reggie: "I thought so. Star Fox Grand Prix is Retro Studios vision for the Star Fox universe. And next summer, you and your friends will be able to meet up in Corneria for breathtaking races all across the Lylat System with your own StarFox Grand Prix avatars in up to 16 player races."
Geoff: "That is amazing, Reggie!"
Reggie: "Geoff. Didn't I tell you I was about taking names?"
Geoff: "You did."
Reggie: "Then don't make me take yours. For our last reveal tonight, I want to bring a special guest to the stage: Mr. Hideki Kamiya."
Kamiya gets on stage, shakes Reggie's hand. As he walks towards Geoff, Reggie slaps his butt but Kamiya is unfazed.
Kamiya: "I am here to present a game, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch. As a game creator, it has been my passion to finish games and ship them. Today, we will give you the first look at our new creation. Prepare to see action in a game that will actually be released."
We see the same race from the end of the Star Fox GP trailer but from a different perspective, from below. We hear rattling and clanking, the camera pans around and it's Captain Falcon trying to repair his Blue Falcon, which was seemingly shot in the race, and giving up. He closes the hood and raises an angry fist against the sky. We cut to Captain Falcon pushing the Blue Falcon through the streets of Mute City back into his garage.

Geoff: "Reggie! It's Reggie!"
Reggie: "You're goddamn right. And what am I about?"
Geoff: "Kicking ass?"
Reggie: "And?"
Geoff: "Taking names?"
Reggie: "That's right. And we at Nintendo are about making games. That's why, tonight, I have three more announcements for you and our fans all over the world."
Geoff feels that he is about to lose control of his show but is unable to do anything about it.
Reggie: "Roll that shit."
The first trailer plays. We see through the eyes of someone who is running through a rainforest. The person is breathing heavily and is probably hurt. They dive through shrubbery, jump over fissures when suddenly the ground under their feet caves in and they fall. It is dark, we can't see anything but we can hear. A massive beast, vicious and brutal, comes closer and closer, ready to kill its prey, when suddenly...
...A HUD appears around the edges of the screen, switches to night vision, an arm cannon raises and shoots three swift missiles. It is Samus! A montage of various visually rich alien locales plays. We see Samus fight aliens, turn into a morphball, switch between different beams and visors. It fades to black and for a single moment we see three red eyes that quickly vanish. The Metroid Prime 4 logo appears but "Prime 4" slowly fades away to reveal...
Metroid Dread
for Nintendo Switch
Fall 2019
Geoff: "Wow. There you go, Metroid Dread for Ni-"
Reggie: "Don't interrupt me. When we announced Metroid Prime 4 in 2017, we set our fans' imagination on fire. How could we follow up the revolutionary trilogy? It seemed impossible. But producer Mr. Kensuke Tanabe and the talented team at Bandai Namco Singapore came up with an answer: Metroid Dread. And we can't wait to show you more at next year's E3. Now I know what you're thinking, Geoff: Why isn't Retro Studios making this? Well, I am glad you're asking. For years, fans have been wondering what Retro Studios has been working on. For good reason. With Metroid Prime they revolutionized the first person shooter. In Donkey Kong Country Returns they brought the joy of challenging platformers to millions of people. With every project, they have revitalized characters and worlds that are extremely dear to us at Nintendo. The game that I am about to show you is the next chapter for Retro Studios."
We're in a workshop. Tools are spread out on a work bench and there is a lot of commotion but we cannot make out the words. The camera pans over to something mechanical, we trace the lines of a strangely familiar machine in white with blue accents. We zoom out to reveal an Arwing... but it looks different, like a car. Slippy pops up from behind it, his face smeared with oil. He says: "Here you go!" The camera snaps around and we see Fox and Falco fighting, Peppy trying to keep them apart. The repairs are done and Fox shouts: "Let's rock and roll!"
Fox zooms around a race track at lightning speed but it becomes apparent that this isn't a typical racing game. He shoots down enemies, loops around through canyons, asteroid fields, seamlessly exits and reenters planets' atmospheres. We see epic boss fights with a dynamic camera, your team constantly giving you pointers through your voice comm, Fox walking around in Corneria in some form of adventure mode where he starts quests etc. The trailer ends with an intense race that leads Fox through a battlefield with two opposing factions fighting each other. He dodges spaceships, lasers, explosions, the music swells up, Falco tells Fox that he warned him, Peppy tells him to be careful but only Slippy has useful advice: "Do a barrel-". Cut.
Star Fox Grand Prix
for Nintendo Switch
Summer 2019
Geoff: "..."
Reggie: "Aren't you going to say something, Geoff?"
Geoff: "No."
Reggie: "I thought so. Star Fox Grand Prix is Retro Studios vision for the Star Fox universe. And next summer, you and your friends will be able to meet up in Corneria for breathtaking races all across the Lylat System with your own StarFox Grand Prix avatars in up to 16 player races."
Geoff: "That is amazing, Reggie!"
Reggie: "Geoff. Didn't I tell you I was about taking names?"
Geoff: "You did."
Reggie: "Then don't make me take yours. For our last reveal tonight, I want to bring a special guest to the stage: Mr. Hideki Kamiya."
Kamiya gets on stage, shakes Reggie's hand. As he walks towards Geoff, Reggie slaps his butt but Kamiya is unfazed.
Kamiya: "I am here to present a game, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch. As a game creator, it has been my passion to finish games and ship them. Today, we will give you the first look at our new creation. Prepare to see action in a game that will actually be released."
We see the same race from the end of the Star Fox GP trailer but from a different perspective, from below. We hear rattling and clanking, the camera pans around and it's Captain Falcon trying to repair his Blue Falcon, which was seemingly shot in the race, and giving up. He closes the hood and raises an angry fist against the sky. We cut to Captain Falcon pushing the Blue Falcon through the streets of Mute City back into his garage. He slowly walks to his door where he finds a note. He reads it, crumples it up and we cut to gameplay. You play Captain Falcon in a beat 'em up/racer hybrid where you can seamlessly combo with your Blue Falcon. The trailer ends with the iconic Falcon Punch into the camera, the screen breaks and reveals...
F-Zero: The Falcon Rises
for Nintendo Switch
We go back to the stage where Reggie is shadowboxing and punches Geoff in the shoulder. Kamiya laughs.
Geoff, rubbing his shoulder: "That was amazing. Mr. Kamiya, what made you choose to work on something like F-Zero?"
Kamiya: "Ask your mom."
Geoff: "...ok, well, when can we play it?"
Kamiya: "Next week in game magazines."
Geoff: "Can you tell us anything about this game?"
Kamiya: "Eat shit."
Reggie grabs Geoff, goes for a suplex and Kamiya catches him with a clothesline. Both of them walk off the stage.
Fucking great.
