Nintendo releases video about Metroid Prime 4 development - Currently below expectations - Will redo from scratch with Retro Studios

[toutoune134]

Damn.

Well, now we wait. I'd rather wait a few more years than get a disappointing game.

 

[Deleted member 8593]

Fuck, what a shame.

 

[MatrixMan.exe]

This is both hilarious and sad.

 

[gdt]

Holy fucking shit!

 

[sibarraz]

Wow, is so weird to see Nintendo admiting that development wasn't going well and that they had to change studios.

This make me ask, what was Retro doing after Tropical Freeze if they were not involved with Metroid Prime 4?

 

[Flandy]

Lol and oof, in that order.

Same reaction here lol :(

 

[medyej]

Retro!!!

 

[Regiruler]

WHAT

 

[Resetti]

Who was developing it before?

Click to shrink...

Bandai Namco.

Is my memory fooling me or was there a rumor saying they were having trouble developing the game?

 

[Deleted member 32106]

beaten

 

[oracion]

uhhhhh
OK.

 

[Deleted member 2809]

Oh well, Switch had 2 good years. Now back to Ps5 and Sony domination

Hopefully the PS5 has FF7R.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Very exited for Metroid Prime 4 on my Switch 2.

 

[PS9]

This means Retros racing game is cancelled?

 

[WestEgg]

That's surprisingly transparent. You don't often see Nintendo of all people putting out videos detailing they are unsatisfied with a product and changing studios. Still, better a delayed game than a bad one, and all that.

 

[Deleted member 4093]

WOW Im done with them smh

not really lol but thats disappointing than a MF lol

 

[KtSlime]

Metroid is Nintendo's weakest franchise, so it makes sense rework it if needed.

Better to rework it rather than F-Zero it.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

so all those "insiders"(and you know who the fuck you are) talking about Metroid Prime 4 at the TGAs it looks so good now and Metroid Prime Trilogy and all that good shit...where ya at now?

 

[Kiraly]

Christ

 

[Bulbul]

Is this a joke thread? I can't see the video.

 

[crash-14]

I recall in the old forum people expecting this game in late 2018 and being mad at those who were pointing out 2020 at the earliest

 

[Piccoro]

Oh well, it gives me more time to finish the Prime trilogy first!

(I haven't even finished the first game yet...) :p
Off to the Wii U VC I go.

 

[Kaneda]

Whats going to happen to the Star Fox game?

 

[Dark Cloud]

Wow, is so weird to see Nintendo admiting that development wasn't going well and that they had to change studios.

We already knew Retro had nothing to do with Prime 4.

 

[modiz]

IMO, this is why you dont reveal a logo. You just get issues like this if the game was barely in development.

 

[Stairouais]

Holy shit. We won't see this before 3 or 4 years?

Holy shit.

 

[WhoaIsThatMars]

disabling comments was a good move lol

 

[FormatCompatible]

Long road :(

 

[Mistouze]

Well, they could have waited for the end of the financial year before coming forward with this info.

I hope this means Retro has something to release soon and MP4 will be their next project. Soooo who was working on MP4 before that?

 

[Wispmetas]

Oooof not good. Good to see it goes to Retro now though.

 

[Ikouros]

This is CRAZY. I wonder what went wrong!? I wonder how far in development the original game was?
To be quite honest, I'm really grateful for this level of communication from Nintendo. It's extremely honest. Many other companies would have kept this hush hush.

 

[NickHyde]

poor switch :(

 

[Kiraly]

The January Direct we have all been waiting for! :'(

 

[Kouriozan]

WTF?!....

 

[Serviam]

Really sad, was looking forward to play it this year.
My wallet is happy tho, was waiting to buy a Switch just for MP4. Guess it will be on Switch Pro 2X instead! :D

Edit: I am also really happy that Retro will be working on it.

 

[Deleted member 2840]

Confirmed for Switchoo launch lineup bois.

 

[louisacommie]

Final fantasy 7 remake has a sequal and that game isn't out yet wtf

 

[DevilMayGuy]

Damn, that sucks
Bait and Switch

 

[toutoune134]

Is this a joke thread? I can't see the video.

[Vareon]

Wow, that's very unfortunate.

 

[Jamie OD]

Wait so Retro wasn't behind Metroid Prime 4 to begin with?

 

[jon bones]

all good, take as long as you need

 

[ConHaki66]

lol that is hilarious, not coming out for another 3-4 years then yikes

 

[Naner]

What a roller coaster.

I'm okay if this will result in a better game. But what has Retro been doing since 2014?

 

[Stuart Gipp]

I fully expect this to be cancelled.

 

[Jencks]

A straight up reboot. Absolutely insane.

At least we can expect a great fucking game since it's coming from Retro, but damn I can't say I expected this.

 

[DreamVsPS2]

Damn, no good sign

 

[Alent]

WELP. At least they care about the quality of the game. So it;s okay i suppose. Please make a good game!

 

[Femto0]

See you in 2023

 

[Jbone115]

I'm glad they are being upfront and honest. Game development is tough.
