I just love Metroid Prime... maybe more than any other game!! There's so much potential in this series as a 3D action adventure exploration game. But there's of course plenty of potential for disappointment too. I want it to be good! I want it to be successful!

I'm really curious how they'll unveil the gameplay.

Will it be a story trailer with in game footage kinda like that BOTW Switch presentation trailer? Just straight up gameplay from whatever section? I don't know if that would "show" well since Prime is usually slow unless they do some dumb Uncharted setpiece kinda thing lol.

Every time I see an admin tag I get scared that they're going to dash our hopes, but it hasn't happened yet so I'm still hyped! Thanks for all the work you guys do btw.

BotW E3 2016 trailer style.

I really like the idea of Switch having *almost* every Retro Studios game ever made.

Prime Trilogy
DKC Tropical Freeze
Retro's next project

Only game missing is DKC Returns.

Oh my. I'm going to assume you're not hinting here, but I took what Kinda Funny Games cast said and did as a hint that Retro's game will be shown at the Game Awards.

Of course I got some ridicule for it around here lol.

Samus Returns ZSS is almost perfect if it weren't for those awful heels. In any case, I don't want them to even touch ZSS before I see what they do with the character in the suit.

They really should've bundled Returns and Tropical Freeze.

Anyway, do you think they would just do a straight port of the trilogy with new controls or will they touch up the graphics?

Whatever happens, I hope the trilogy fits on a single cartridge with no downloads like Bayo 1

No clue.

It's the first time that these games will be in high definition. So I'm sure they'll put a tiny bit of work into touching up the graphics.

I thought that had to do with Sega, but I'm not sure. MPT is full Nintendo game so.

I thought it was a game size issue. With all these remasters nowadays being 3-4x the size of the original game I would hope MPT can fit on a cartridge.

It just depends on what exactly they're doing with the port.

No clue.

I would hope because there are some areas in Prime 2 that have not aged well at all. The skybox/wallpaper backgrounds are super low quality so a replacement would be nice.

Thanks for the response :)

?

Do you think Retro's next project will be on the next console or something?

you did follow the leaks about that starfox racer game being in development hell, right? chances were actually high that game would get cancelled.

If Emily's post is a hint, then we can confirm that isn't the case.

I would expect any MP Trilogy to be closer to Twilight Princess HD than Wind Waker HD. We'll probably get some high-res textures and lighting tweaks and that's about it. Which is fine, the art direction in the games still holds up fine.

I would also expect a new control scheme that is fairly similar to whatever they're planning for MP4, so most likely dual analog+motion aim.

If the HD trilogy is coming I think they will save it for a January direct or something so metroid 4 will have its own space at the game awards

There was no report about Star Fox GP being in development hell. There were reports about another game that's most likely canceled, but we don't even know if this one was in dev hell or if it just didn't get greenlighted or something.

What Liam Robertson said tho, is that the game is apparently beautiful, and that people involved in the project are really excited about it.

I hope so since as we saw with Go Vacation and others, Nintendo can't really price a game less than 49,99 even if it's a decade old release, for that much money I expect more than just straight ports.
