Metroid Prime 4
Biggest No-Shows at E3 2021
Yes, I know we just got a new Metroid announcement at Nintendo’s E3 Direct. Yes, I’m excited to go through another 2D adventure as Samus. But Metroid Prime 4 still wasn’t present in the Direct beyond being mentioned as an aside. It’s good to know that it’s still being worked on, but would another teaser trailer have been too much to ask for? We’ve only seen the logo for Metroid Prime 4 and literally no other visuals whatsoever since it was announced back in 2017.
We do know that the game’s development has been anything but smooth, as the general manager of the Entertainment Planning & Development division of Nintendo, Shinya Takahashi, revealed that development restarted from scratch in 2019. We’re not sure what exactly is going on with this new Metroid entry, but we can’t wait to see more of it when the team is ready to share more.
