How do you think they'll release the remasters of Metroid Prime 2 and 3? It might be a Luigi's Mansion type deal where Prime 2 is only available on NSO, or they'll do a two-in-one deal like Pikmin 1 + 2 for Switch.

>>13901Fusion was mediocre, yeah, but Zero Mission fixed all it's issues and made what's easily the best game in the series on par with Super.

>>13902>handholding ledgegrabbing suitless bullshitZero Mission isn't even a good remake let alone "on par with Super". It completely misses the point of the original Metroid. Furthermore it's excessive emphasis on the character of Samus Aran (in line with Fusion) is why Metroid games have continuously been boxed into creative dead ends.

>>13910 look exactly like Delta Halo from Halo 2, with the platforms above a forest and strange temples in the distance AND you're running around with a bunch of space marine buddies
2.) The location with the Matrix architectural similarities + lightning and fog is a pretty undeniable reference
3.) The Akira bike slide in the trailer was an explicit nod
4.) Tron bikes have trails
5.) I swear I've seen that same exact alien in some movie or a game

>>13933Alien's Ripley is a direct reference to the director's, Ridley Scott's, name, whom Metroid villain Ridley is named after.
Nintendo used to do stuff like this back when people were less concerned about trademarks, like how the Koopalings were each named after a rock star.

>>13939Metroid Prime 4 isn't even a showcase of Switch 2's full capabilities, it's a Switch 1 game that's enhanced to run at 120 FPS, in a higher resolution.
If you want to see what Switch 2 can do, look at the FF7 remake or Cyberpunk.

This was the Switch gameplay trailer from last fall, before Switch 2 was announced, as you can see it doesn't look very different from the Switch 2 version.
From what I can tell, the main reason to get it for Switch 2 is for better multiplayer functionality, like GameChat, and mouse control. But I wouldn't rush out to buy a Switch 2 for it.

>>13941Also a reminder that mouse controls probably aren't much a selling point, since the Metroid Prime series is designed to be a console shooter. The lock-on mechanism is a central point of the games mechanics. The big win on Switch 2 is 120FPS and probably no stutters. If you are one of those performance mode weirdos, then get the Switch 2 version. For most people, I'm not sure it makes sense if there is a premium.

>>13976Since I made that post, I've learned that Beyond probably won't have a multiplayer mode, since we're a couple of weeks out from the release, and it hasn't been announced. You would certainly think they would've highlighted the multiplayer features for the Switch 2 edition at this point, since people are Christmas shopping for games.
The only Metroid Prime game that had a multiplayer mode was Echoes, not online of course.
It's a missed opportunity to have an exclusive multiplayer FPS out in the beginning of Switch 2's lifespan, but this thing has always been a Switch 1 title from the ground up, and they just added some bells and whistles.
