I don’t know if Nintendo would want to release 2 remasters just months before the big new game in the same franchise. Also am skeptical about the Metroid Prime remasters unless they know Prime 4 is coming out next year.

@FragRed i believe Nintendo will release Metroid Prime remaster/remake or the Metroid Prime Trilogy remaster one year/6 months close to the release of Metroid Prime 4, Nintendo will surely want every to play the Metroid Prime series before Metroid Prime 4 release.

@FragRed Fall/Holiday 2023 does sound about right for Prime 4. The announcement for the restart was in January 2019 so the decision to hand it over to Retro was likely made in Holiday 2018 so a Fall/Holiday 2023 release would mean 5 years development time. Also SMTV, Bayonetta 3 and Metroid Prime 4 was the trio of apparent vaporware which actually turned out not to be vaporware. SMTV released in November 2021, Bayonetta 3 releases in October 2022, Prime 4 in Fall/Holiday 2023 would continue the pattern. Finally, much like BotW 2, Prime 4 would benefit from more powerful hardware.

@Grumblevolcano If Nintendo have plans to launch the Switch 2/Pro etc between Fall 2023 and Holiday 2024, I wonder if they would hold back Prime 4 as a launch title? but still playable on the current Switch...Prime 4 + New 3D Mario + something else would be a good launch line up!

@MarioBrickLayer Nintendo has to release Metroid Prime 4 on both consoles, if Nintendo decided to make Metroid Prime 4 a Switch sucessor exclusive game, it gonna upset a lot of people, many people bought Switch expecting to play Metroid Prime 4 on the console( myself inclued).

@Giancarlothomaz I agree that MP4 must be on the Switch, but if Nintendo launched it on the Switch but also said "Look! You can play MP4 on the Switch Pro in 4K with HDR etc, doesn't it look amazing!!" then I think it could be used to persuade people to upgrade.

@Giancarlothomaz You have to stop worrying about folk who just bought a Switch at some point lol. It's too early to do that half way through the Switch lifecycle as it hasn't even had a price cut yet. Folk are still buying a premium product. It needs to have a price reduction before even thinking about a new console and Metroid Prime 4 is still over a year away.

Also, not everyone are into Zelda BOTW 2, Metroid Prime 4 as they have their own interest.

Maybe there will be a Direct on 8 or 9 September 2022.

@StarPoint That could be true, now that you say it, it does seem like a likely Direct contender with that timeline. It'd be a nice game for the reels.

Games I'm playing right now:
OoT N64
DK64 N64
Lego LotR Wii
Spirit Tracks DS
TotK Switch

Well, the games announcement from PAX Games 2022 was already looks like a Nindie Direct.
Be granted.

@Grumblevolcano Ah I suppose that changes things a bit. I could see this being more a general announcement, that the next-gen releases are coming out soon, then a Switch version will also be released at a later date.

We probably won't have to wait long to find out, though.

Turns out Sony didn't announce a Playstation Showcase this week for airing next week to bring some good news in to the mix. Instead they just did an increased focus on promoting TLoU Part 1 which released today.
