Fuck you im excited

I'll have to go with switch 1 for the moment, besides the boxart looks cleaner in switch 1.

Nintendo tardwrangled the trannies at Retro and to a lesser degree Tanabe. Don’t worry everything will be fine and the game will sell 3.2 million more copies than Doom The Dork Ages

I'm excited in the sense that it's the last one in the Prime series (right?)

so it will be released on september or november? considering that pokemon will take october.

Most hype I've been for a game in a while

Why the fuck would you play the switch 1 version of anything?

for the moment I'm not excited but I'm sure I will after the next trailer, we've basically seen like the first half hour of the game at most

WHEN
FUCKING WHEN GOD DAMN YOU NINTENDO
GIVE ME A RELEASE DATE

Screw the naysayers who think it seems dated. I trust Metroid's winning streak on Switch to continue.

I'm looking forward to it, wish I were more excited. Since it's the first Prime game in a while, they're going to play it super safe. It's going to be charge beam > wave beam > ice beam > [game specific beam that will only appear in this title.] Add some generic looking psychic powers (that will be gone by the end of the game) to have something 'new.'
I hope I'm wrong, tho. Would love for this to be a neat surprise.

I'm just hoping they learned their lesson after the past games. From everything we've seen so far, there's very little in the way of challenge. It looks like we'll have to go through the whole tutorial and a third of the entire game before enemies actually start having any bite to them, and the psychic powers could make this even more trivial.

After Prime 3 there's just alot of worry building up.

The point of the game is not to be challenged through gameplay, but to explore n shiet. The prime games are less fun when they’re super hard (Prime 1’s Phazon Mines, the hard parts of prime 2, the jank Wii motion control parts of Prime 3). These games should be smooth fun adventures not doom eternal-tier difficulty stuff

(Prime 1’s Phazon Mines, the hard parts of prime 2,

But I loved those segments. Infact I was greatly disappointed that they nerfed so many things in the Prime Trilogy.

I think Prime 4 has played its hand gameplay wise. My bet is that 5 will be the one that really innovates, unless Retro stagnates

You can play the switch 2 version on switch 1 anyway

To be honest, this is kind of a stretch.
Switch 1.
Be the change you want to see.

Depends on how it performs and if it ends with any unresolved plot threads, there's no way they don't make another 3D metroid in the future, thing is whether it would keep the prime subtitle or not

people act like prime 3 was horrendously bad, sure it has the wii gimmicks and some nitpicky stuff but it was a good game and a decent prime.

Switch 1 if I buy it at all. If it were Switch 2 exclusive, I just wouldn't play it. "More Switch but stronger" isn't interesting to me.

Because the switch 2 version is just the switch 1 version with the update

I want to say September.
Nintendo's gonna do a direct next month, right? The Switch 2 is listed as one of the Summer Game Fest's partners.

I'm glad you are, bud, but everything they've shown so far looks uninspired to me.

I know they have to make it retard proof but im totally buying switch 1 and upgrading because this cause just looks bad, and I hope to god theirs reversible covers

learn from past games

?

Prime 2 is still the most challenging game in the series

Fuck you be excited I don't care

so what? there are people excited for a switch 2 with no games and they don't post... OH NO WAIT!

oy vey

What kind of creatura will Samus mutate into this time?

This is my first time reading that disclaimer on the bottom. Literal "better framerate DLC".

Switch 2 obviously

she already has a third eye

I'm sorry in advance, anon. Letting go of nostalgia and realizing that something is shit is hard. Prime 1 was a great game for its time. Prime 2 was a flawed but interesting sequel. This shit is an embarrassment for a 2025 game.

After finding out that every third party under the sun is using game-key cards, I'm just going full digital.
I hate it.

Since I only have a switch 1 and not going to buy a whole other console just for Metroid Prime, I too hope that I can buy the Switch version and the upgrade easily once I do get a Switch 2 someday.

more like even if it was a one to one copy of prime 1 it'd still be much better than the worthless sludge released nowadays

And they heavily nerfed it in the Trilogy edition.

The only thing they directly nerfed was the boost guardian pool damage. Spider guardian was indirectly nerfed by spring ball but you can ignore that and fight as intended

Prime 4 really feels like a game that's going to underperform. Or at least just sell "OK" like the rest of the prime games. This should be the last Prime game

Anon Babblejeet predicting a failure

prime 4 best selling entry in the series confirmed

i hope she can make enemies heads explode like in scanners

I feel like a proper multiplayer would improve its sales or shelf life, because as far as single player experience goes, Metroid fans are not exactly easy to satisfy. Either way, I hope the best for the game and hope they dont stray away too far from Prime series

Look at the difficulty modes, and how everything got punted down a tier, so hypermode was the intended difficulty, and veteran was the baby mode, and you have to beat the game once just to access hypermode.

Veteran is normal mode from the original, hypermode is hard. You had to beat the OG to unlock hard too

The marketing for the game starts in 3 weeks, it should at least do 3 mil like Dread but that might not be enough for 8 years of dev

I just wish they'd let you choose hard from the beginning. Having to play through the game once just to unlock it seems silly.

don't interact with this retard, he doesn't play videogames and will bog you down with stupid bullshit

it should at least do 3 mil like Dread

if you look at the trends on switch the 3D entries sold much more than their 2D counterparts which is an inversion of the previous pattern where mario games especially sold much more 2D entries than 3D

prime will be fine, especially since it's unironically the technical showcase game for switch 2 with the highest resolution and framerate of all first party nintendo titles

Stop being a schizo.

what exactly is this image trying to prove

he doesn't play video games

cleared all three prime games on trilogy

I can type "metroid prime trilogy file select screen" into google image search too.

ITS JUST LIKE MY HECKKIN PACIFIC RIM!

Whatever you say.

Same, on Switch 2. Pretty sad that there is no VRR in docked mode. I don't understand why, if it can do it in handheld there is no reason it can't docked. Hopefully a firmware update one day fixes this. I haven't gamed in over a decade without some form of VRR on PC between GSync and Freesync displays over the years. I shutter to think about seeing tearing again for the first time in 12 years.

you are like leetle baby

?

Fuck yeah. Opening doors with your mind powers. Holy fuck I'm hyped too OP

worked at Retro for less than two years

k

If Prime 4 comes out this year, I might give the games another playthrough. At least NOW I can access hypermode.

LE HECKING MCU SUIT!

fuck off
kys

I think most people are but we dont have a lot of gameplay yet and expedition 33 trannies are frothing at the mouth at the moment so dont expect too much excitement until the June direct

I think Prime 4 has played its hand gameplay wise.

No, Nintendo is just being fucking weird with their trailers. They were the same way with TOTK and the fuse mechanic, theyre weirdly hush hush with new features lately.

MCU

Master Chief Unlimited suit?
Looks amazing tho, the booster nozzles are very... erotic.

That can't be right, it doesn't look anything like Chief's suit. I wonder what he meant by MCU...

Its marvelshit. The new suit was clearly influenced by marvelshit aestehtics.

I'm excited for it too. I'm thankful they're releasing it for Switch 1 as I ain't buying Switch 2 nor any Nintendo products anymore

durr you're just a switch 2 redpiller hopping on the bandwagon

Nintendo earned my ire after my third set of joycons got drift and they had the fucking gall to say it was my fault and I should treat my controllers better, meanwhile the Xbox 360 controller I'd had since launch still works to this day. Fuck 'em.

I wanted a 2 and 3 remake first....

I just hope they don't go full retard in the opposite direction and don't reveal all the new gameplay mechanics in the next trailer

just show the speedbooster and maybe another psychic ability and be done with it

I swear to god this looks like it came out of XCOM

Whaaat? That's ridiculous.

If it has a multiplayer mode I'll buy it. Hunters was fun.

Considering the return of Slyux, the focus on mouse controls, and how many AAA FPS devs they hired, I'd be shocked if there's no Hunters 2 as multiplayer.

focus

It's a Switch 1 game. That shit was just tacked on.

Could be Switch 2 only feature.

ok well use gyro aiming then

Well, yeah, of course it's a Switch 2 only feature. You can't use Joycon 2s on a Switch 1. Doesn't mean it isn't tacked on to justify their overpriced "Switch 2 Edition" upgrade pack.

Are there any multiplayer games that use gyro aiming? Splatoon?

I mean the multiplayer, not the mouse.

I wanted Mario Galaxy 2 to be added to 3D All Stars but here we are

Oops. I'm a faggot I guess.

Paladins

Samus is gonna be a tranny dyke.

they added it to fortnite, pretty much every game on switch with a significant aiming element use gyro

Given that Xbox is dead now and Nintendo and Valve won, will Master Chief make it into the next Smash Bros. game like Sonic did in Brawl after Sega died?

Sakamoto would lynch any NOA nigger to try it

Master Chief is old hat. If we're talking Valve, The TF2 Mercs deserve to get in.

Scout running past Sonic and stunning him with a baseball

Pyro sets Mario's butt on fire, while Bowser claps and applauds

space pirate tries to sneak up on Samus, but gets blown up by a level 3 sentry attached to Samus' back, the engineer giving a thumbs up in the back

spy and Solid Snake try out-sneaking eachother

demoman offering a bit of scrumpy to peach and toadstool since ruling a kingdom needs a drink once in a while

medic tells yoshi to say ahh, only for him to eat a shy guy nearby

heavy looks down on kirby with gritty russian music playing, until he pulls out a sandvich and shares it with him

The jokes write themselves.

*Peach and Zelda

Master Chief doesnt really have the cultural capital he did back in the 360 days so no

You guys don‘t find it weird that there‘s no release date yet? As for the game, i‘m excited but it looks really close to prime 1. I‘ll probably still enjoy it for the exploration but the combat was due for an overhaul

Not at all. It's a Switch 1 game, and Switch 2 is RIGHT HERE. They know how big Metroid Prime is and don't want it to overshadow anything.

They probably do not want to announce the date until very close to launch like Dread, which if its in the June direct would line up with a September release

It will come this year, Nintendo knows they'd be riots if they delayed it after revealing it at this point. Probably a big marketing push and a release date in to September direct. Probably November since October has Pokemon this year.

They probably aren't gonna announce the date until the switch 2 releases anyway, we know it'll be a switch 1/2 game so it'll be out when the switch 2 is out

I was sure they were going to give the release date during the switch 2 presentation but no instead they focused on mario party of all games

I stopped trying to understand their marketing at this point

but no instead they focused on mario party of all games

Mario Party may be shit but they did sell a fuck ton of copies during the Switch gen so it makes sense they'd push that

You're not very smart, are you? Mario Party is getting Switch 2 exclusive DLC. Of course they would focus on something that is Switch 2 exclusive. Why would they focus on something that people can play without buying their shiny new system in a presentation dedicated to said shiny new system?

That would be unfortunate, but it's not like I play Nintendo games for their online. The last time I had NSO subscription was when Miitopia came out.
Say what you will about the decline of the Halo games, but I doubt anyone would be able to replace Chief as THE Xbox mascot.

It's a box anon, I don't really care about it

the people who bought mario party aren't going to be early adopters of an expensive new system

Its obvious this was originally planned for the switch 1, and its complete shit. Disgusting they stalled it for the switch 2 release. Should have a real next-gen metroid. But they have ruined every metroid since super, so its no surprise.

I don't watch movies and my wife hates hollywood goyslop. Most we'll do is some anime and the occasional TV show if it has been out a while and we know it is good (almost done with Breaking Bad). Pirated of course. Haven't had cable or been to a theater in like 15 years. Vidya, Warhammer and Guns are what we spend our time on.

ok? good for you I guess

Its obvious this was originally planned for the switch 1

wow how did you come to this conclusion, this guy is smart...........

After repeating the fourth grade for 10 years, you learn a thing or two.

MCU

looks like a ferrari

speed booster suit

I hope this loot box progenitor tf2 dies a miserable death

being too poor to afford some crates

Can't please everyone.

pay to win zoomer slop

Trash it, hope myg0t rapes this game again

pay to win

More like "pay for downgrades of stock weapons". Skill beats unlocks any day.

This is the best suit design in over 20 years. Dread's sucks and is only better than fusion. SR gravity suit is tight though

Do most people know what "MCU" means? That's sad if you can identify an acronym for Disney goyslop.

looks like a ferrari

Indeed. Very sexy.

SR's only good suits are the Power suit and the redesigned Fusion suits

Dread's sucks

sorry for your shit taste

My only issue with the suit is the chest. There's something about the way that it protrudes out which doesn't exactly sit well with me.

metal diaper

oversized boots

pathetic shoulders

other M tier peashooter canon

downgraded SR gravity suit

dread suit is shit

man I want to fuck that suit

While they would be a good fit theres zero chance we are getting mkre than 1 and medic has zero chance of being chosen. So question is...who should it be? Is Heavy still the face of the game?

MS has moved away from cheif for a while now. I think if any microsoft character gets in that hasn't already (steve, banjo) it's going to be doomguy given that all his games are on nintendo systems

metal diaper

This is MMZ Zero all over again. You really haven't been paying attention to the design if you think this "diaper" is new.

looks great, 9/10 on the hype. They seem to be nailing almost everything, the only thing that irks me is that the opening is more like prime 3 and less like 1/2 but it's over much quicker thankfully

After the parryslop that was Fart Ages, I don't know. Nips don't really know ta Slayer.

MMZ

Zero's design has always sucked

previous suits didn't have the diaper shit

doomguy is more relevant than MC in general, especially given the former has precedent in smash. The only other character I can think of off the top of my head would be someone from warcraft or CoD which would be awful

What are the odds that Viewros is a past version of Phaaze?

Parryslop revived the metroid franchise with dread

warcraft or CoD

I'd rather have Clippy from MS Office

none, it's a past version of Tanamaar. That wouldn't make sense anyway given Phaaze is an organic entity that was so far off from the GF's space of operations that hyper warp speed had to be used to reach it

Nintendo needs to properly represent samus as the horrid abomination she is.

doomguy is more relevant than MC in general

lmao, no. Even on Master Chief's worse day, that will never be true. le Slayer is forced as hell, and the devs hard dicksucking of him is what ruined him, he wasn't even that relevant before the soft reboot either.

Are those ayyylmao on the cover going to be a new Chozo/Luminoth like species? I'm not convinced on the whole psychic powers but maybe they'll strike creative gold somewhere with further power-ups

Samus needs extra maintenence for her incontinence

Metroid didn't overuse it like Doom did.

MC is irrelevant and halo is a zombie series, however irrelevant doom is it's not as bad as halo

seem like the new luminoth yeah

it absolutely did, parrying is just as prevalent in SR and dread as it is in TDA

I like the soft curves it gives her in certain shots, very aesthetic.

tru

MC is irrelevant and halo is a zombie series, however irrelevant doom is it's not as bad as halo

Doom the Fart Ages couldn't even break a million in sales, Infinite broke 5 million in a month Day one on Game Pass before Ultimate was a thing.

it absolutely did, parrying is just as prevalent in SR and dread as it is in TDA

Parry happens every 2 seconds from bullet sponge enemies while holding a Captain America shield in Doom, the entire game, even when changing the gameplay up, is parry slop.

that was so far off from the GF's space of operations that hyper warp speed had to be used to reach it

Which is why the whole blackhole themes are in it

5 million players, not sales, counting its F2P multiplayer kek

Parry happens every 2 seconds from bullet sponge enemies while holding a Captain America shield in Doom, the entire game

not even close. I don't even like TDA that much, but it's a better effort than anything halo did for the last decade and a half, evidenced by the fact that the series/studio behind it are dead

does anyone have that gif/webm of samus in fed force being crushed by debris
i thought it was funny

Nope, 5 million sold, the player count from GoyPass was 20 million.

I'll only be happy if space pirate tube posting comes back.

Getting excited for an American AAA game in 2025 is pretty retarded.

True true
