It's tied to the marketing cycle of Prime 4, which got an indefinite delay. That's all there is to it. They aren't gonna break up the collection. It's a game that already exists.

Oh, that would be awesome actually! I've never actually played any of those games, so that would be pretty cool if it did happen.
Prime Trilogy has always been treated as one "release" in terms of its pricing. It was $20 on the Wii U. If an HD version exists, it'll be priced similarly to 3D All-Stars.
The only way I can see it not being prioritized for release is if the new Prime is intended to be a complete break from the previous games in the series (as in, a shift away from considering it merely Prime 4).

The great thing about them just keeping the Metroid Prime Trilogy in a server somewhere is that they won't make it Pro-enhanced when it releases in late 2022.
Prime trilogy was full price when it released. 50 bucks was the price of new Wii Games.
even then. They'll sell that trilogy together. I know people are very pessimistic when it comes to how Nintendo prices things, but they're not going to separate the trilogy like that since it's how it officially exists. Hell they sold it for 20 bucks on the Wii U
Yeah considering MPT was extremly limited in copies on the wii. Nintendo hates not selling games at full price
I wonder if they would price the collection below $60? They seem rather interested in gauging consumer support for certain price brackets for games, and are experimenting with different price ranges; see: Miitopia, Clubhouse Games, Game Builder Garage, and on the higher end, Ring Fit, Labo, and Home Circuit.
Yeah, Bowser's Fury was basically the Switch's second 3D Mario game this gen with a bunch of ports between that and Odyssey. 3D Mario has essentially been taken care of on the Switch, Mario fans insisting on "Odyssey 2" happening right after 3D World + Bowser's Fury need to chill.

I'm catching up and super late to the party but uhh....
*takes a deep breath*
HOLY FUCKING SHIT ELDEN RING
This might be the single greatest game trailer I have ever seen. It's at the very least neck and neck with the BOTW Switch reveal trailer. I'm practically vibrating with hype, good lord. Can a game be game of the show even if it's not technically part of E3? Because it is.

If you're referring to me then I'll say I'm absolutely not trolling. Just giving some speculation on why the Metroid Prime trilogy may not have been released. Again I hope I'm wrong. For all I know, they might release it cheap just to get people familiar with the Metroid Prime series before 4 is released. I'm just speculating, not trolling. If you were referring to me.
I'm listening to Nate/Grubb expectations but man they really are downers haha. Maybe a BotW2 trailer? Maybe a date? Oof.
If this show feels like the Mario 35th showcase i'd rather just not watch it live. The Switch's leaning on old releases, shifting from Wii U to Wii or older is just tiring. If these were remakes like Links Awakening it might be exciting, but it's clear that's not going to be all that common.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think I agree? I LOVE Mario Odyssey and obviously I would love a sequel, but we do have at least 4 3D Mario games to choose from on the Switch. Id rather Nintendo make a 3D Kirby or DK instead of another 3D Mario
I'm super excited for Elden Ring as well, but that trailer was like, a B+ or A-.
The BotW one is a rank S 10/10 A+ Masterpiece. It's on another level entirely
Are y'all really expecting Nintendo to focus for 10-20 minutes on Zelda PORTS without showing BOTW 2? Really?
Staying positive I do think there could be some Nintendo announcements or some really cool gameplay demonstrations during the three hour treehouse event.
It's pretty understandable. Barely any insiders have any knowledge of Nintendo's 1st party stuff. And if they do, they don't know hardly any specifics.
like it's interesting how many don't know about the DK stuff while a few do. Yet 2D or 3D is a Mystery.
fascinating Dev, those Nintendo folks
It's the usual cycle. Hype gives way to ultra pessimism as we get closer to the event.
Of course. Can't over shadow the Skyward Sword ports. They'll show the rest of the E3 direct after that releases. Duh
That's how it is with insiders. You buy the rumor, but cautious on the announcement.
I was writing how I didn't think they would spend 10-20 minutes on Zelda, but in doing so I kinda convinced myself it could be up to 15, lol
I should trademark that before gearbox makes a version of borderlands where all the attacks are farts... oh wait
Surely not. I'd be shocked if we don't see BotW2. It definitely feels like now is the time, imo.
How can you be that confident when we haven't even seen anything from it in 2 years beyond the teaser?
Nintendo's BOTW 2 video for e3 is that development of BOTW has been rebooted and handed to Retro studios.
Ah is it time for the "I hope they don't spend too much time on X, I want them to have time for Y too!" posts?
Because I don't see it launching in the same quarter as Pokemon Legends, and currently there's nothing in that genre happening in Q3 or Q4 of this year.
And a story trailer featuring the main new mechanic is not a teaser, by any means. Especially when it comes to Nintendo.
I'm also not brave enough to acknowledge the possibility that it's late 2022 or beyond.

Aonuma appears, talks about the Anniversary (maybe with a few words from Miyamoto as well), then comes the trailer for the Collection, Aonuma again and then the BOTW2 trailer finishing up the Zelda section. 8 minutes would be enough, i think. Could be 10 minutes, if they decide to talk about BOTW2 after the trailer as well.
If BOTW2 and DK are there, it will be an amazing direct for me. If none of the two happen I will be dissapointed
I know how that makes you feel, but I won't tell, not until E3.
Lmao, I hope he even used our nicknames.
Xenoblade is pure speculation at this point, game could still be far from release.
I might be affected by the reality-distortion field that is this thread, but I'm still of the impression that this E3 will be the Zelda 35th show for Nintendo.
Abandon insistence on reassurance, take whatever comes your way.
The one thing you can trust is that Nintendo's fiscal targets are still very high despite the next-gen twins and despite them not having an Animal Crossing equivalent this year (i.e quantity is likely going to have to compensate). People go into every Direct expecting a mega buffet of every killer app on earth, but frankly just set yourself up for a pretty good show with a variety of games that's bound to satisfy most people. We've already got games like Pokémon, NMH3, and seemingly SMTV on deck. It's all upward from here.
