. . .So Gematsu then?lmao. There are people giving Laura K Buzz **** while saying "So what if you got it right? It's fake/You're still wrong!"
Do people not grasp that things can change pretty dramatically over the course of a game's life cycle? Like, release dates in particular are things that bounce around a ton even while we're watching them!
For that matter, if a leaker is secondhand then they have don't entirely have control over the legitimacy of who's giving them info. Someone like Laura who juggles several sources could get a lot right and a lot wrong at the same time just from some people being who they seem and others not.
But I mean. . .I'm sure you already know that, just kind of thinking over it again myself, LOL.
I told myself a while back I'd hold off until E3 before writing her off entirely like a lot of people were. Seems like that's actually kind of paying off.
Let's keep in mind they still have a few E3s to announce a Switch Metroid past this one.No mainline Metroid on Switch, not gonna buy the Switch.
Simple.
. . .That said, I think it's far more likely they announce one this year than most people consider. Probably because I don't give a hamster's fuzzy bottom about the franchise and thus don't have the emotional investment to panic.
Metroid is not a snubbed franchise. Metroid consistently makes it into marketing. It has three character avatars on the Switch. It's dropped off the face of the earth harder than this before, and the gen that followed it gave the biggest revival the series ever had. It flip-flops around for a while, but Nintendo always goes back to give the franchise some love somehow.
The real problem isn't that there won't be a Metroid, there will be sooner or later. The real problem is that I don't think people are going to LIKE whatever the next Metroid is. Both Metroid directors are loathed at this point and I have a strong suspicion that whatever Retro is working on isn't actually one of the two franchises they're consistently associated with at this point.
