Wow, I've seen doubleposts before, but never a triplepost.
I have done this several times because my work internet sometimes blocks requests made to SmashBoards so I end up getting an error and having to click "Post reply" again only to find out that every time I clicked it it actually did go through and I was bamboozled.

Pikmin 4 then Prime 4 ...

... is 4 going to become a cursed number for Nintendo like 3 is for Valve?



ROB grabs his victim and starts burning their face with his laser vision. He then takes out a sharpened gyro and slowly runs it up their body, slicing them open. Finally, ROB side b's into them, sending body chunks and viscera flying across the screen.
welp, guess that means KH4 is gonna be delayed now

Disappointing to hear, but I appreciate the transparency. Also I'm glad that they were more willing to restart from scratch since it shows they want to make a product they and the fans will be proud of rather then release it quickly and not live up to the original trilogy.

It does make me curious about the initial development process though. It's very rare for Nintendo to admit something didn't work for them and essentially reboot it, so I'm wondering what was going on to make that happen.

I’m actually amazed how many games are getting Switch releases as well. This is really good that Nintyms getting a lot of 3p support.

I can’t imagine MK11 for Switch, but here we are...

Now to just see if it is as good. I haven’t preordered yet, but MK is definitely my guilty pleasure. I’d love to see a Nintendo guest (can we take a moment to recognize that Ganondorf would fit great?)

No, it was confirmed not long after it was announced that Retro wasn't developing 4. I believe it was Namco? I don't think we ever got a clear cut answer on who the initial developers were.

Also makes me wonder what this means for whatever the other project Retro has had in development hell before this.

So if Retro is now doing Metroid Prime 4, what were they doing between this and Tropical Freeze? Was there a game I missed...?

Here's a game, pick 3 characters to add in Smash, a male, a female and an animal/non humanoid/monster character. Here's mine:

- Male: Sora from Kingdom Hearts
- Female: Marisa Kirisame from Touhou
- Non Human: Slime from Dragon Quest
Male: Layton/Sora
Female: Amaturasu goddess form
Non human: Amaturasu

yes I used Ammy twice because I cant think of any female humans I actually want, yes I cheated, Do I still get an A?

Some other project that we know exists but may or may not be in development hell atm.

And might get even more shafted if they have to shift focus to Prime 4 now.

At least Metroid has been getting plenty of love lately. Between Returns and :ultridley:/:ultdarksamus: in Smash, the wait won't be nearly as painful as it could be.

I know a few people that might actually be angry by this news instead of just "relieved but heartbroken" like that

I'm pretty happy they didn't just release a game they knew to be subpar and want to make it up to the standards of the fans.

Well, it's good that Retro is back on Prime once again. We'll just have to wait till potentially 2025 or so for it finally come out. We can handle it...right?

I forgot to mention, but it's been a while since I've seen you! How's it going? :3
Rough, but alright. I'm shotgun applying to a lot of jobs trying to see if anyone will take me before I graduate in October because I want to settle down and propose to my girlfriend at some point as well as pay off a bunch of bad decision debts I put myself under.
I recently had an appointment to finally start taking medicine to help with my issues too so hopefully I don't feel so awful all the time.

How have you been? Same to everyone else, how's everyone been?

...Just because you were inb4 it doesn't mean it can't be said.
I wasn't trying to prevent it, I was trying to show that I'm aware, am still saying it, and it's not that deep for anyone who tries to get in my face about it.
Anyway, Linkle.

I hope things start getting better for you... :(
And I've been doing great, thanks for asking! I'm just about to start my math exam. Wish me luck!

It is actual news since beforehand Retro wasn’t involved with MP4...was rumored to have been Namco working on it
Guys. After days of pondering, I finally figured out the answer.

The answer we’ve all been waiting for:

It all makes sense.

I’m hoping that this news will be followed by an announcement of a Prime Trilogy on Switch as a way of assuaging my heartache. Or some other 2D Metroid remaster would be awesome.

I’m sure there will be plenty of those types. They need only be reminded of Other M.

While disappointing, the news of Prime 4 being delayed should, in my opinion, be taken as bittersweet and not entirely bad.

I mean, if nothing else we’re seeing that Nintendo is not interested in sending out subpar content. Rather, they want solid content regardless of the game, regardless of the series it comes from.

I wasn’t sure what to think when I found out Retro wasn’t involved, but now knowing that they are i’m far more confident in what we’re going to get out of that game. Not only that, but I also have a ton of other games to get through for my backlog, so I have some time to get those done.

Hey, at least we’ve got Yoshi, Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing this year, right?
