[Vampirolol]

Artwork looks dope

 

[Amnixia]

News soon? News soon please.

[Khanimus]

That sure is Metroid-like

 

[Defect]

I hope they have a little something to show for Prime 4 at E3 alongside the reveal of Prime 1 Remaster

 

[Mass Effect]

Can't wait to play this in 2027

 

[ILikeFeet]

 

[FarSight XR-20]

Dark Samus is back !

 

[stersauce]

i guess metroid still can't crawl after all these years :(

 

[Fuchs]

This will sustain our hype for the next 2-3 years

 

[Deleted member 11637]

YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS

 

[Neha]

Dang that poster YELLS "i'M HERE TO CHEW GUM AND KICK ASS AND I'M ALL OUTTA GUM" energy and I am fucking here for it.

 

[Mashing]

Metroid Prime Dancing All Night confirmed!

 

[Atheerios]

Those are some nice prime ribs.

 

[Neoxon]

Metroid Prime 4 during the Summer Direct, perhaps?

 

[Dyle]

Looks like a good place for a barbecue

 

[Aether]

Yeeeah... in othere words, Prime 4 Trailer E3 for 2023, with Prime 1 anouncement for 2022.

 

[scare_crow]

Looks like we're looking at Samus from inside another visor.

 

[Neiteio]

If that Prime 1 remake/remaster is real….absolute dream would be a reveal of it at summer direct that leads into Prime 4 gameplay with 2023 for release year.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

dunno, looks more like Samus to me

 

[Transistor]

Hey, maybe this means we'll see Prime 4 this decade

 

[Neiteio]

Sorry pal, surprise new Waverace dropping in May

That would also be dope!

Samus is a smash bros character

Metroid stars in the Metroid games and can't crawl

 

[Biggad]

This is much more exciting than it should be.

Getting just the right Prime feels looking at this art.

Let's not do this to ourselves.

I'll take anything from Retro at this point, Prime 1 remake, Prime 4, whichever.

 

[giapel]

Gearing up to a Metroid Direct…

 

[Zonic]

I can't believe Nintendo got the studio founded by the creator of The Guy Game to make a Metroid game.

 

[Stopdoor]

Can't deny this gets me irrationally excited lol, usually I'd be eye rolling such a minor thing but you know, man, it's been so long

 

[Doctor Phishshoe]

dunno, looks more like Samus to me

Click to shrink...

well with Metroid Dread canon..... both are correct

 

[BossDumDrum]

Oh god. I hope the folks at Retro understand the shit storm if this doesn't lead to anything.

This is could be the new grillin' steaks.

 

[yap]

i can't believe retro spoiled samus is in metroid prime 4

 

[OnanieBomb]

Oh god. I hope the folks at Retro understand the shit storm if this doesn't lead to anything.

I mean they're definitely making Prime 4 so that's what it'll lead to

Yeah, but is the announcement of something coming sooner or later? That's always the thing with these vague posts.

 

[Fendoreo1]

My guess is we get a Prime 4/Prime 1 Remake double whammy to end off the June Direct(Prime remake this year and Prime 4 2023)

 

[Neiteio]

I want to see the Funky Mode in Prime 4

Samus with shades over her visor, and a surfboard

Let's not get too crazy here.

Spoiler

Except he's lying down on his side.

 

[TheCongressman]

Metroid Prime, 4 new banners.

 

[Ultimate Bear Cub]

Wait...Metroid is in this?

 

[AzorAhai]

2014 : releases game
2022 : releases artwork

I'm sad.

 

[NotLiquid]

I would be surprised if Metroid Prime 4 isn't the "one last thing" teaser at this summer's Direct. 2023 feels like a real possibility, and I don't think a Prime Remake would suffice as a holding pattern without news on Prime 4.

 

[Temascos]

It's been a long time since we've had a new Retro Studios game, excited for this.

Yeah same here.. Retros output really slowed down on HD era, they put out 4 games in 8 years between 2002-2010 (MP1-3 & DKCR) + the MP trilogy on Wii, but since then have only put out single game in 11 years (DK: Tropical Freeze in 2014 and the Switch port of it a few years later). I think they did do some support work for other Nintendo studios on the side, but it's still odd we haven't seen much of anything from them in years. I miss Retro, hopefully they'll reveal their hand soon and it'll be glorious.
