As a diehard fan of the Metroid series but more specifically the Prime trilogy; its a no brainer for me, especially since I already own a Nintendo Switch.
The development delay for it actually doesn’t worry me at all, in my opinion, I think Nintendo is trying to make sure this isn’t a -blam!- up considering every Metroid game released since Prime 3 (with exception to Samus Returns, but it IS a remake of M2) has been met with little to no enthusiasm by the fan base. I also respect Nintendo for having the balls to come forward and say “we don’t like how this is going along and feel like you guys won’t either”. The inclusion of Retro Studios back into the project has me very excited as well, given that they’ve gone from strength to strength since the Trilogy with DK country.
Anyways, what about you guys? Are you interested in Prime 4 and will you buy it or not?

3 RepliesI am, but I'm honestly wondering if its worth it at this point. It's now been more than ten years since MP3, the current Retro dev team is almost all new with very few series vets, and that's after they were told to start the project over from scratch after the [i]"extremely talented"[/i] first team apparently failed so hard that Nintendo scrapped the whole thing. The negative rumors surrounding Retro don't help. The fact that Nintendo is transparent about the delay shows that they are at least aware that fans are watching closely, and that a quality product requires quality time. But damn, that time.
