Probably NLG are developing it under Tanabe.

 

Given the reaction to Federation Force, that would explain the secrecy as to who it is.

 

Personally, I think Nintendo only just  approved the project and had no one actually assigned to it by the time E3 rolled around. They should have settled on someone by now, but the game definaitely isn't set to release before 2019.

 

But then again, I figured Xenoblade Chronciels 2 would be a 2018 release until recently.

FF is not even a bad game tbh I think the Metroid fanbase showed themselves to be one of the worst in regards to FF because now we know that the were already 2 other Metroid titles on the way. Prime 4 was hinted by in FF at the end of it which suggests to me the NLG maybe the team being lead by Tanabe.

Oh yeah. The Metroid fans are to blame for acting the way they did over Federation Force. They're a bunch of assholes for not swallowing every crap Nintendo wants to feed them.

Yeah, I did't see Zelda fans blowing their tops over TFH if someone can't grasp the concept of it being a spin off then yeah.

Maybe it's because there was a great game in 2011, another great game in 2013, and another extremely promising looking game slated for 2016 at the time, I wonder..? (besides great remakes in 2011, 2013, 2015 and 2016 too)

Yeah and? In Wii era the were two unorthordox DS Zeldas before SWS that fans weren't keen on and never blew their tops.

Also doesn't explain the failure to understand the concept of a spin off.

I don't know if anyone remembers the news of the horror video game director (or something) of some big horror franchise (again, can't remember which, but I think it might have been resident evil or silent hill) who joined Nintendo sometime around February. 

But anyway, I think it seems very likely that he is probably part of the new team working on Metroid Prime 4.

The guy you're talking about is the Level Designer for MGSV and Resident Evil 7 who entered Nintendo earlier this year while the news only surfaced in June/July. I think it's obvious that he's part of the development team for Prime 4 and given his previous games I'm looking forward for his take on a Metroid Prime game

Considering someone said metroid is trying to be a shitty shonen I guess toei animation will be in charge of MP4

During E3 it was conifrmed that the game is being made by a brand new team INTERNALLY at Nintendo, Next Level Games is only a Second party...

Have to agree wth Wyrdness. FF really isn't a bad game at all. Have you played it? Too bad the community is inactive, it was a whole lot of fun with three other players.

And in that era they had just had a great game in 2006 and were looking forward to a promising one slated for 2010. I mean, you can't be serious, right? Zelda fans don't moan about spin-offs because they know there is always a high-budget, big Zelda game in development - Metroid fans were annoyed with Federation Force because it had been five years since the latest release (and 8 years since the last decent one), and the future of the series was uncertain. Everyone just wanted a proper Metroid game that showed Nintendo knew what to do with the franchise, instead they got a horrible looking spin-off that went against a lot of what Metroid is supposed to be about, and seemed to show Nintendo actually had no idea what they were doing.

I'm not sure what's so hard to understand here, you're acting like Metroid fans are these evil people for not accepting the existence of spin-offs when really it's all a matter of circumstance. How do you think people would react if Skyward Sword was the last Zelda thing that ever happened and then in E3 2017 Nintendo announced Tri Force Heroes?

Because you lot sounding off on a spinoff, one that itself isn't bad game either and even confirmed Prime 4, is still one of the dumbest over reactions many of us have seen because if a spin off was made then it signals the series still has a priority in their plans, instead we saw people like waahhh my Prime games waah throwing their toys out the pram and hilariously the were two games in the pipeline when they were doing so. A main line Metroid title was alway going to arrive we can understand disappointment as many fans have gone through that but the reaction to it was overblown this is the fanbase who swear Metroid is a massive franchise then get insecure over such matters.

Want to know even further why its a dumb reaction Metroid fans themselves don't know what to do with the series when Prime was first shown you lot lost your shit now it's all you want to suck on. How would I feel if SWS was the last thing I saw and TFH was inbetween I'd shrug my shoulders brush it aside as the's always a Zelda game on the way they're usually far apart anyway and the game would show the series has a place in their plans.

Blame the Wii U's woes for waiting so long as I'm sure Prime 4 was originally going to be on it but they likely moved it to Switch when the system was a confirmed dead horse.

I think it's either Kojima Productions or From Software.

Great partners for AAA quality all around who could do some frightening sci-fi stuff



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
