Anyone who says Nintendo didn't have faith in the game's quality just haven't been paying attention to the series until now, any long time fan knows Nintendo never did a whole lot to market the series, specially the Prime series. Even the excellent Dread had little fanfare from Nintendo.

You’re telling me the game that launched alongside the fabled Switch Pro (i.e. Switch OLED) and was the big “one last thing” at E3 2021 recieve little fanfare from Nintendo? I wasn’t even interested in Nintendo during 2021 and I knew how big of a deal Metroid Dread was— the marketing was crazy for that game!

And Dread had one thing that should be essential for all Metroid games going forward; It was fucking terrifying.
