What is "Metroid Prime 4"?
Beyond the logo seen above, and Nintendo confirming it as a game headed for the Nintendo Switch, we know next to nothing about it.
We can infer at least two things from the logo screen of course:
- It's a direct sequel to "Metroid Prime 3," or at least of the same first-person lineage.
- It's currently in development for the Nintendo Switch.
Of course, given what we know about the previous trilogy of "Metroid Prime" games, we can expect this one to be another combination of first-person shooting, exploration, and puzzle solving — all set within the trappings of the classic "Metroid" universe.
It wouldn't be a huge surprise to see "Metroid Prime 4" show up in some form at the show given that we haven't heard anything since it was unveiled in June 2017. A few notable folks in the world of games are seemingly excited about exactly that, but it reads more like a groundswell of hope rather than insider information.
