IGN's Nintendo podcast talks about the next Metroid game.
Following the major video game showcase reveals over the last weeks, games like Astro Bot and Doom: The Dark Ages are highly sought-after.
I went from being unexcited about anything that wasn't GTA vi to having a fully stocked end of the year especially after that direct
Xbox has a ton of games lined up. I was hoping more would be coming to PS5 but I think I’m going to finally subscribe to PC Game Pass since no matter what, it will still be a better deal. If MS makes a handheld, I’ll buy a console, if not I’ll play on PC.
IGN asked tech experts Digital Foundry to analyse the Metroid Prime 4 gameplay footage to get the definitive answer.
If this is the original Switch, I can only imagine how good it will look on the Switch 2. You know if the game is launching in 2025, there will be both a Switch & Switch 2 version!
They are using the same engine they used to do the MP remaster. I was kind of hoping they do 2 & 3 in the same engine before releasing 4.
Of course it is. 🙄 Nothing about that trailer screamed not possible on the Switch. They took what they learned from the Ptime Switch port and improved upon it. This is the results.
i did notice that nothing at the xbox event had a sign that said, the footage was captured from an xbox
they both mysteriously left this information out
Its not really that amazing looking in any of scenes. Its great, and looks like a switch game with a 10 years matured engine from the last prime release. Nothing more, and that's fine.
The funniest thing for me -- I pre ordered this game in 2018 on Amazon because they were doing 20% off all pre ordered games. Fast forward 6 @#$%ing years and it has since been literally delisted from Amazon but somehow my pre order is still there at $48 before tax lmao
If the game is awesome and Nintendo puts the hand of God behind it marketing wise, it can bring NEW fans into the franchise. It can easily be the best selling Metroid game by hitting 3-4 million. Sure, it won't do huge numbers but if the quality is even anywhere close to say Super Metroid or Metroid Prime it will give Wii U lasting credibility and gamer goodwill that will help it's market value. And I mean market the heck out of it like it's the second coming...
note: They said everyone who loves Metroid already has a Wii U. What bologna!!! How can they say that with a straight face? That is all we hear online..."when Mario Kart, Metroid, Smash or Zelda comes I'll consider"....
Ign is the foxnews of the video game world. Logic need not apply.
metroid only has a small fanbase when compared to games like mario kart or smash bros.. If those two games dont help the wii u boost sales, metroid wont either.. I dont care tho, as long as i get my 1st party games, ill be happy.. Thats why i bought a wii u anyway.. I will ALWAYS buy a nintendo console just for titles like zelda, metroid, smash bros, mario kart, etc.. Bayo 2 & X are just bonuses that ill enjoy too
It would be a risk wouldn't it? The Metroid games aren't exactly sales blockbusters and the sales in Japan are even worse than in the US.
Nintendo just needs to get the new Zelda out already.
