Uf, Metroid Prime means that's main 3D Metroid game, thats massage they sending buy calling this game Metroid Prime 4.

The Metroid Prime series is a distinct trilogy in the Metroid series, for two reasons, 1- the Phazon, 2- it's a First Person Adventure.

And no that crappy spin off Metroid Prime Hunters doesn't count.

If Metroid Switch is a new departure for the series, then don't call it Metroid Prime, and if it's a direct sequel to Metroid Prime Corruption, then it's just a bad idea, because without Retro, there is no Metroid Prime, even Retro Studios could not make a Metroid Prime 4, since most of the staff from the Metroid Prime days are now working elsewhere.

Calling Metroid Prime 4 is just a bad idea, a marketing idea, maybe it will be called something else when they finally show it, but still...

No its not bad idea, actually opposite, its great idea, thats why people were so exaited when MP4 was announced (main 3D Metroid Prime game finaly!!!), If game was called something else people would think its some spin off and not main Metroid Prime game and that would actuly be bad idea. So it's about message, Metroid Prime 4 is main Metroid Prime game, very simple. We dont know if game is direct sequel to Metroid Prime Corruption and that really doesn't matter (it doesnt need to be direct sequel).

Of Course that you can't say that without Retro there is no Metroid Prime, for instance Kensuke Tanabe is same game producer for MP4 same like for past Metroid Prime games.
