It still would have had to have been something started in 2017 though when all signs pointed to the 3DS being out. Plus, technically speaking, they would have been split, and may continue to be split, due to FEH.
It would be too soon if it was IS doing the remake, but it looks like it might've been in AlphaDream's garage. Again, if it was initially planned to be 6+7, I'm hoping that if the remake plans were brought in-house, it's shifted to Holy War/Thracia since those need way more attention.
So it's safe to say a possible MH Next won't be announced at Festa considering the MHW Iceborne focus?
Thanks for the answers btw.
I would play literally every one of these games repeatedly, maybe if i believe long enough i can will it into existence.
This is my biggest worry. What's going to be the artstyle. I liked Samus Returns, but I didn't think was "omg" so great artstyle. I need something better for Metroid V
I wouldn't expect it too look as stylized as either of those really. The aesthetic of certain parts in Ori in particular made it hard to make out what exactly to do, left me wanting some "cleaner" Metroid like design.
Switch has more juice than the 3DS so hopefully it looks a little sharper over all. Returns on Citra in 1080p looks pretty sharp.
was there ever a metroid game planned for N64, or didi they just ignore the series for that console?

Sick, literally just tell me (@ mention) when you're doing it and I'll copy the link and request the close.
IIRC, Sakamoto once spoke about not finding a suitable control scheme for a N64 Metroid.
nintendo life is such clickbait nonsense. no it doesn't mean that, jeez.
Obviously it won't look as good as Prime 4, but I think it can look quite nice. The Lords of Shadow games had really strong art direction. With the 3DS they had to put some of the focus on the technical aspects of making it work in 3D, and also having to somewhat adhere to the vibe of Return of Samus. None of that will apply here. And now they have some experience with Metroid as well, so they'll have a better sense of how the world of Metroid should look.
I won't be satisfied until the Switch has all the wii u ports.
From a mag interview:
games™: "This apprehension over 3D gaming, is that the reason there was never a Metroid 64?"
Sakamoto: "I was actually thinking about the possibility of making a Metroid game for N64 but I felt that I shouldn't be the one making the game. When I held the N64 controller in my hands I just couldn't imagine how it could be used to move Samus around. So for me it was just too early to personally make a 3D Metroid at that time. Also, I know this is isn't a direct answer to your question but Nintendo at that time approached another company and asked them if they would make an N64 version of Metroid and their response was that no, they could not. They turned it down, saying that unfortunately they didn't have the confidence to create an N64 Metroid game that could compare favourably with Super Metroid. That's something I take as a compliment to what we achieved with Super Metroid."
games™: "Can you say who that company was?"
Sakamoto: "Sorry, I cannot."
Usual garbage from them. Nintendo trademarks all the time. They renew trademarks all the time. This doesn't mean anything.
Here's hoping they nail that Super Metroid grime/grit combined with garish colours look.
Pretty much. In the end we're happy nothing happened or Retro probably would've never got the chance
Sakamoto didn't even want to make Other M 3D. He originally wanted it to play like Pandemonium!/Klonoa, but Team Ninja put their foot down. I actually hope for Metroid 5 he goes back to that idea.
Also, Miyamoto was the one who wanted to make Prime, not Sakamoto. He doesn't seem to have any interest in making a fully 3D Metroid.

I'd say it's 50/50 tbh. If it happens, it'd probably be just a logo or a hint anyway.
edit: the issues with Other M ultimately fall back on Sakamoto. Making it a 3D action game controlled like a 3D action game (aka nunchuck rather than Dpad), and without the dumb wiimote scan implementation would have already felt a lot better.
That doesn't mean he's not good for 2D games though, but he was stubborn on many elements there, and this was shown in countless interviews.
It's actually interesting that all 2D Metroid games have had a different art style. I think I prefer Super's the most, but I actually liked Fusions a lot as well.
Didn't IS mention Shadows of Valentia would be their last 3DS FE game?
Regardless, I'm on my hands and knees begging for an acceptable graphics engine the next time around.
Nintendo Direct Speculation |OT3| Keep your expectations low
Incidentally, these are the same noises I make whenever Nintendo throws some info scraps my way.

correction, phendrift's thread will be chaos if nothing happens
at the rate we're going I should be outta here by then
I don't think a remake combining either two games is in the cards. They're far too large, and in the case of Genealogy and Thracia, mechanically incompatible with one another.
For context, IS had to delay the comparatively smaller Shadows of Valentia as well as nix plans to modernize its maps early in development.

Which one do you think is more likely:
Nintendo using all of this sweet time to enhance the Metroid Prime games with better textures, lighting, enhanced controls...
...or that it's been sitting there for probably a year now, with the port already done, just upscaled to HD and specifically MP3 having a new control scheme conversion as good as "at least it's playable"?
Also, Hunters yes or no. I played it last year and it did NOT hold up.

As long as I get games announced.
People for some reason say that the mini direct from 2018 was bad, but it was fun. Great reveals, especially from third party.
