Can’t wait! Still remember booting up Metroid Prime on GameCube. One of the best soundtracks ever and one of my favorite FPS of all time.

“At this point, PlatinumGames needs to give us something on Metroid Prime 4.”

It’s Retro Studios that’s making Metroid Prime 4.

Spenok1601d ago

When I read who they said was making it, I immediately went to see where the article came from.

Yeah, they don't even deserve a click if they can't even get the dev right in the blurb.

Knushwood Butt1603d ago

I played and beat 1 and 2 on the cube, but

wake up call

Nintendo don't care about this or B3.

They can make way more profit by porting old games.

The Animal Forest audience does not want this game.

Neonridr1603d ago

you beat bayonetta 1 and 2 on the cube? say what?

Knushwood Butt1603d ago

MP1 and 2.

I liked them both. MP2 divides opinions, but I liked it and beat it.

Neonridr1603d ago

@Knushwood - haha, my bad. when I read that I saw Bayonetta 1 and 2. I love the first 3 Metroid Primes. 3rd one is a little divisive with its motion controls, but you get used to them after a while. I have the Trilogy on the Wii and it's interesting playing the first two with motion controls as well.

Knushwood Butt1601d ago

I never played MP3 as I never got a Wii. Well, I did get a launch unit in Japan, but sold it immediately.

Sciurus_vulgaris1603d ago

“At this point, PlatinumGames needs to give us something on Metroid Prime 4.”A more correct statement would be : “At this point, PlatinumGames needs to give us something on Bayonetta 3.”

Neonridr1603d ago

Platinum Games? Metroid Prime 4? Did I miss something here?

Knushwood Butt1603d ago

I'm feeling generous today and will give you an agree.

Knushwood Butt1603d ago

But, what if Platinum's mysterious 4 web site is actually a teaser to announce that Platinum is now developing MP4?

Neonridr1603d ago

minds would explode I think :P

Although I don't know if they would necessarily be a good fit for that style of game. Who knows. I'd be intrigued at least.

Knushwood Butt1602d ago

Yeah, I'm currently playing metal Gear Rising and agree it would be an odd fit for them.

i wonder how well thats gonna work.

darthv7272d ago

mouse aiming should feel very fluid and natural to any PC enthusiast.

UnbreakableAlex72d ago

Because of the new high greedy Nintendo prices, people will play the game on an emulator on the pc or Mac anyway.

gold_drake72d ago

yeh just read about the game prices. ridiculous

72d ago
Jin_Sakai72d ago

I guess no one remembers when some N64 games were $75 and $80 back in 96.

Ps5conehead71d ago

Nintendo is a company to make money. There not a charity.

badz14971d ago

@Jin_Sakai

Keep bringing that up. You are doing a good job. Because N64 was a huge success for Nintendo and they didn't get demolished by the PS1 that gen, right?

I mean ultimately it means you have to play with a flat surface. Great for those people who play games at their desks on computer monitors, less so for those of us who like to sit back on the sofa and play.

But nice that the option is there at least.

lukasmain72d ago

The world's most uncomfortable mouse lol

Neonridr72d ago

I've held some pretty uncomfortable mice in my day. I'll have to try it out to see, but I'm sure they've done extensive testing with it. As long as the width is stable enough that it's not gonna tip over everytime you try to move it, then it should be ok. Plus it's a great option for those who prefer mouse style aiming.

--Onilink--72d ago

Also, there is no way there arent already third party options ready for release date where you just pop in the joy con in a more usual mouse shell, but it doesnt necessarily look uncomfortable even without that

Jingsing72d ago (Edited 72d ago )

Yeah, I said the same thing. If the mouse doesn't at least support your hands resting arch position you are in big trouble. I don't see how this would.

Neonridr71d ago

you don't think Nintendo tested this feature? They just decided to slap on an optical sensor and be done with it?

blacktiger72d ago

I been asking this for long time and nintendo is about to make all fps a mouse standard game, I hope

lucasnooker72d ago

It can be played like a real PC shooter when you’ll soon be able to emulate it on an actual PC lol

Jingsing72d ago

As long as they are smart enough to do most of the work first before releasing the emulator and then putting it in a decentralised location and repo.

Ratchet2372d ago

They just copied lenovo go handheld system.

drivxr72d ago (Edited 72d ago )

and Lenovo copied them with detachable controllers?

Jingsing72d ago

Nintendo copied Android gaming tablets that had detachable controllers that the big tech sites laughed at until Nintendo did it (Engadget, Verge etc hypocrisy). and didn't do it any better.

Metroid Prime 4 Looks Great, and We’re Still Debating If It’s a Switch 2 Game

The final Nintendo Switch 1 Direct just gave us our best look yet at Metroid Prime 4: Beyond—and it’s stunning. But here’s the big question: Is this actually a Switch 2 game? Join the NVC crew as they break down the new trailer, analyze Samus’ psychic abilities and the jungle planet Viewros, and debate whether this is a cross-gen release or a last-minute upgrade for Nintendo’s next console.Plus, we’ll discuss why Metroid Prime 4’s long development cycle (and lack of a release date) has us suspicious. Is Nintendo holding it back for the Switch 2? Or is this truly the Switch 1’s final masterpiece?

_SilverHawk_76d ago (Edited 76d ago )

Metroid prime 4 looks so dated and bland. I hate it when fanatics can't be objective because it sends the wrong message about what's good so Nintendo continues down the same wrong path. The short gameplay of metroid I've seen is enough to convince me that the game is rubbish and not worth full price. Im hoping Nintendo doesn't continue with low quality and bland looking games for the switch 2 and only relying on games brand name to sell. The switch 2 is a new generation where it's possible to have very powerful handhelds or midrange handhelds that can handle modern games with very good performance. Switch 2 shouldn't have games that resemble switch 1 games or even have performance issues like switch 1. I've seen a lot of games on ps3 that looks a lot better than metroid prime 4 and the ps3 was released 20 years ago.

Levii_9276d ago

Look i get it Switch is ancient, i hate that fact and i'm so sick of the console and can't wait to get rid of it finally for Switch 2 but you can't deny that this game isn't impressive looking running on such an outdated hardware. We'll find out soon if exclusive Switch 2 games will look just like Switch 1 remasters or something better and more, but judging by that short Mario Kart teaser... ehhhh... hmm i don't know.

_SilverHawk_76d ago (Edited 76d ago )

All i would like from the switch 2 is to be able to run modern games like gta 6, assassins creed shadows cyberpunk and others with performance similar to having medium to high settings on a pc at a stable 30 to 45fps locked and having the ability to buy all previous Nes games from the original to the latest switch without renting. I would also like Nintendo to have Nintendo online to be as good as Xbox live and psn with a proper party system and no silly friend codes

ZycoFox75d ago

It doesn't help that they don't use the latest tech, and then drag it out for 8 years when it should be more like 5-6 tops.. especially being a portable device which gets outdated quicker.

Levii_9276d ago

It's not a Switch 2 game it's a Switch 1 game. It will be a cross gen game like BOTW was. Switch 2 version will have better framerate, resolution and texture filtering.

Plagasx75d ago

My thoughts exactly. It'll be on Switch 1.

originaljohn75d ago

I wasn't really excited by the trailer editing and no solid date given but the gameplay looks great and environments look super atmospheric. Retro doing wonders on the Switch again.

badz14975d ago

"it's stunning"

LOL the bar is really REALLY low for Nintendo. Stunning, sure...for 2010!

With "E3 Season" Now Over, Here Are Some Of The Best Games To Look Forward To

Following the major video game showcase reveals over the last weeks, games like Astro Bot and Doom: The Dark Ages are highly sought-after.

Profchaos358d ago

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

LostPotato357d ago

It's not over yet still have the THQ showcase and Games-Com this summer,

TwoPicklesGood357d ago

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.

phoenixwing357d ago (Edited 357d ago )

You could buy a steamdeck if you actually have a pc library. And If you don't have a steam account I feel sorry for u when you claim to own a gaming pc
