Metroid Prime 4
2017’s Biggest Gaming Announcements
Instead of showing an epic cinematic trailer met with hundreds of cheers from a roaring crowd, sometimes an announcement can have just as much of an effect if you take the simple approach. Sometimes, all you need is a name. One game that Nintendo fans have been pining for for the longest time now is a new Metroid Prime game. It’s been so long that, like Beyond Good and Evil, people began to doubt whether a sequel would be announced. Ever.
That’s why this 30-second teaser, simply showing the number 4 in space, followed by the words ‘now in development,’ had such a huge effect on us all. This is easily one of the biggest announcements of E3, and Nintendo didn’t show even a second of gameplay. What a truly risky way to make an announcement – but the strength of the series, along with the fan reaction, shows that we’re all ready for a new entry in the Metroid Prime universe.
