Yes but I can do even better than that: it will be Justin Bailey shaking your hand, the hand of Shavenferret the ancient Chozo.

Good sir, that would be quite excellent
It’s just a trailer of a very small part of the game, but nonetheless it did get me wondering again what really was going on at Retro all those years. I mean, this looks like the Metroid Prime 4 game they could have put out in 2011 or something. Obviously not graphically, but just in terms of being more of the same and no big jump. So why didn’t they start this at least after Tropical Freeze? It still feels to me like Retro did not want to make this game, and Nintendo either begged and/or forced their hand with it after Prime 4 in another devs hands was obviously turning out terribly. Idk, I just think the game should seem a bit more inspired than this looks if this scenario wasn’t the case. It’s probably why they’ve taken so long too, if they didn’t have a ton of natural creative vision it would be a slow churn to make a great game. We’ll see.

This trailer was just to show the game exists. The first Mario Odyssey trailer didn't show the hat gimmick. That wasn't until E3. Wait for another trailer where they go further into the game mechanics. It amazes me people don't get this.
Yeah as Leynos says, this trailer like most first showings for a Nintendo game was just an introduction to the basics.
There will almost certainly be a lot more to it that they haven't shown so far; such as the "hook" like Prime 2's light/dark worlds and Prime 3's Hypermode.

Time flies when you having fun lol.
If you look at the time line:
2007 - Prime 3 come out
2009 - Retro did the trilogy for Wii
2010 - Donkey Kong Country Returns
2011 - Mario Kart on 3DS
2014 - DK Tropical Freeze on Wii U
2015-2017 - Pitched a few ideas to Nintendo that didn't get off the ground
2017 - Nintendo first announced Prime 4 with new developer
2018 - DK TP on Switch
2019 - Nintendo did the apology video said Prime 4 is rebooting from scratch.
2023 - MP Remastered
2025 - Prime 4 coming out from Retro. It will be about a 5 year cycle since the 2019 restart, which these days to get a finished product of an AA game isn't so bad.
They haven’t put out a game in 10 years. They very easily could’ve stated MP4 when Nintendo wanted it started in 2016. It’s still very odd to me that they didn’t if they really had a vision for this game. And the fact that the first trailer after all this time does feel so much like “it’s more prime” and nothing else does have me a bit worried. But I do agree this was likely released earlier than they would have if not for the fact this game was announced ages ago. They know fans were desperate to see something
I think this trailer was very much a matter of "it's finally ready to show, let's reassure fans that the game still exists and isn't vapourware" rather than "let's lay out our full vision for the game".
The first trailer for Tears of the Kingdom didn't show any of the new abilities the game was built around, as mentioned the first trailer for Mario Odyssey didn't show the Capture ability, it's not uncommon for Nintendo to keep their cards close to their chest as to a game's central hook.
The Metroid Prime 4 made by day. It is awsome to finally have a trailer for a game after so long!!
