Nintendo Renews A Couple Of Metroid Prime Trademarks

here they come

I‘ll never give up my hopes for MP2 and MP3 remasters!

Surely people have learned from the Prime Remastered situation right?

....Right?

I was only thinking the other day that we could see MP2 on NSO. It’s not the way I’d like it to come back (similar to how I’d pretty a ‘remake’ of Wind Waker HD rather than it being on NSO).

But MP3 would need to be a remake/re-release. A sort of Hunters remake bundle with would be pretty neat, and tie neatly into Prime 4?

All I want is a remake for my Metroid game Metroid Prime 3 corruption please ninty 💙💙💙

At this point it will be pretty frustrating for them to rerelease them. They should still do it, but I would have loved to have played through 2 and 3 over the last year, not so close to MP4.

I hope the whole Prime series gets a remaster at some point.
Anyway, no love for Echoes? That's pretty strange...

Bloody 'ell! This is big news! Somebody renewed a trademark! That's practically a game announcement!

I’ll be dusting off my Wii Prime Trilogy to play 2 and 3 before the release of 4 (holiday?), but I really would prefer a beautiful remastered version like Prime. Sigh…

I would love to see 2&3 get a surprise release like 1 got. Completed with switch 2 versions of all 3 with a resolution bump. 🤞

keep those remasters coming!

Nintendo is so protective of their properties… I don’t think this means anything

While I do love Nintendo, at 44 I'm never surprised at their confusing way of doing things. Honestly the trilogy not being released ahead of prime 4 is just leaving money on the table 🤷

The rumours from a few years back now said that Prime 1 was getting the remaster treatment, whereas 2 and 3 would be straight ports, a la Pikmin 1 + 2. If that's the case, I can see Echos becoming just an NSO release now.

Being a life-long Metroid Prime fan, I was beyond ecstatic with the Metroid Prime remaster on Switch and I would definitely appreciate similar remakes for Metroid Prime 2 Echoes and Metroid Prime 3 Corruption. With the Switch 2 having Gamecube classics I see no reason not to add both original Gamecube games (1 and 2) to the catalogue, while the mouse function in the Joy-con 2 could possibly allow Wii classics on the system (though they could always release a modern Wiimote pack for it as well), in which case Metroid Prime 3 and the Metroid Prime Trilogy could also make an appearance!

I still need the Prime Hunters remake they should've made on the 3DS instead of Federation Force.

To be honest. At this point I hope more for a Hunters remake than Prime 2-3.

I mean the latter are coming sooner or later anyway via the NSO.
But a full remake of Hunters, with it's awesome multiplayer, would be the best thing ever. Maybe even make the multyplayer part of the game free to play, just to make people check it out and maybe make them want to buy the main games.

Would be cool to see all Metroid Prime games on Switch (2).

Would love to see all Metroid Prime games available for Switch, or preferably Switch 2!

I'm gaslighting myself into believing this means we're getting DS games on NSO

@BirdoDidNothingWrong Yeah, it's a great port. I was referring to people letting themselves get hyped up by influencers and news sites almost assuring that the other games would be released in the next directs just to get disappointed.

The real reason they sold Metroid Prime Remastered for 40 bucks is so they can eventually sell the entire Metroid Prime Trilogy to us for 120 bucks without people complaining they sold a 60 dollar Wii compilation for 100+ bucks.

Trying not to read anything into this since trademark renewals can be just that, but I'd really like remasters of the other Prime games. Especially Hunters, though it's admittedly less likely. That game would definitely benefit from better controls. I dropped it 1/3 of the way through on the Wii U VC and watched a silent Let's Play of the rest of the game. I just couldn't adjust to the controls.

I hope Nintendo would be “kind enough” to re-release The Other M. I know it was poorly received but I never played much of it and my Wii is disconnected and would love to play the entire game to see what the complaints were. The game always intrigued me due to it showing Zero Suit Samus without finishing the game with a good ending.

Where’s MP Pinball..

give us prime 2 and 3 remasters you monsters.

Hunters? What a surprise! MCC style metroid collection incoming?!!!!

@DonutPie federation force was great

@Tyranexx the controls could be changed. I never understand this complaint

Prime 2 at GC NSO. Prime 3 and Hunters remaster. Ok, I'll accept Other M and Samus' Returns HD remaster too. Don't bother with Federation Force and Pinball

@Novuscourvous Some of my issues were likely related to playing Hunters on the Wii U VC, not the DS as originally intended. I did try all the control schemes, and nothing really sat with me or felt comfortable. Part of it is due to being a leftie.

@Don Having bought and played a new copy of Metroid: Other M for roughly $7 USD years ago, I actually enjoyed my time with the game. Sure, it ranks lower than many Metroid titles on my list - I've played/beaten most minus Metroid Prime: Hunters (played, never finished it), the Metroid Prime Pinball spinoff, and Federation Force - and does have its share of issues, but I actually enjoyed the visuals for the time, boss fights, and general gameplay elements. My biggest complaints are how Samus's characterization is indeed off at times, how abilities are gated, and how some introduced characters could've used more fleshing out.

Prime Remastered was my first time playing a Prime game and I enjoyed it. So a Prime 2 and 3 remaster in the future would be nice. Hunters would be nice too.

@Tyranexx her characterisation in other m is consistent. It's how she's been portrayed since the manga. People got made because of a false image of her they made for themselves

@Novuscourvous I haven't read the manga - hopefully one day since Dread reinforced that it's canon; my current "booklog" is crazy lol - so I can't really comment on it. I didn't even dislike her characterization in Other M for the most part. The parts that didn't sit very well with me were the Ridley PTSD when she had fought him before that point, as well as basically letting Adam order her around. I understand she had a lot of respect and reverence for him, but she'd been an independent bounty hunter for a good while by the time of Other M. Many of the other emotional moments and interactions did make sense to me.

The Tl;Dr is I gave Metroid: Other M a fair shake and did enjoy the game for what it is even if it does have some flaws. A lot of which are overblown by the internet. It's telling when I've kept the game vs. selling it.

@joeyflannel that would be awesome! I think I heard a rumor a while back that you could use your phone as a controller. So I wonder if it would also allow you to use it as a second screen, making it possible to play DS/3DS games.

@SirLink I think Echoes is the weak link of the trilogy: the dark world didn’t quite gel for me the same.

Having said that, Echoes is still a 9 out of 10 for me. I just love 1 and 3 majorly.

I’m sure Echoes we will see in the GameCube library. I’d love to see a return to 3 and the super Metroid remake they did on the 3 ds, I never got a chance to play, so I’d love to see that.
