That last announcement did come completely out of nowhere after a whole year of silence, after all. We'll be sure to keep you posted as we hear more about Metroid Prime Trilogy and Metroid Prime 4. Published Metroid Prime 4s delay has certainly caused sorrow for longtime fans - its just too bad Im not one of them. And if you own a Switch, then you best get used to them if nothing else - there's still a whole bunch of Wii U games no one played that could reach a shiny new audience (hello, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE). Still, with Metroid Prime Trilogy apparently ready to go, there is some good news on the horizon. This has obviously delayed the game by a significant amount - it was due to launch this year, but it could be a long time before we see it materialise. If you didn't see it last week, Nintendo made the surprising decision to publicly announce that everything the company had done on Metroid Prime 4 was being binned in favour of starting over, this time with Retro Studios at the helm. Khan reports that the "ad-hoc" development process Nintendo was using simply didn't work, so Retro Studios put together a pitch and a demo for Nintendo which convinced them to move all development to one studio. That said, it's probably something to do with Metroid Prime 4 going a bit wrong. According to the last few earnings reports from Nintendo, Metroid Prime 4 's release date is still 'TBA.' While the long-awaited Bayonetta 3 and Zelda: Breath of the Wild sequel now have release. Initial announcement was supposed to be last month. Lets just hope the new development cycle goes well.Follow The Orpheon on Social MediaMerch: ht. Why it didn't is a mystery at this point. Well Prime 4 was delayed, but at least its still being made. When I say "word on the street" I mean this tweet by Game Informer's senior editor Imran Khan, who believes that the initial announcement of a Switch release for the Metroid Prime Trilogy was supposed to be made in December 2018. I love a good rumour as much as anyone, but this one feels like a pretty safe shot - there's word on the street that a Switch edition of the Metroid Prime Trilogy is ready to launch whenever Nintendo decides to pull the trigger.
