![]() When viewed as a separate trailer, Nintendo's logo is briefly displayed. It was also made available on the Nintendo 3DS eShop under the name Metroid Prime 4 - E3 2017 Announcement.ĭuring the Nintendo Direct, the trailer faded to black after the full logo was unveiled. On the Nintendo Belgium channel, it is titled Metroid Prime 4 - Aankondigingstrailer E3 2017 (Nintendo Switch). Underneath, text states that Metroid Prime 4 is "now in development for Nintendo Switch." On the Nintendo UK YouTube channel, the trailer is titled Metroid Prime 4 - E3 2017 Announcement Trailer. The flames stop burning, and the 4 moves to the right side of the screen while Metroid Prime is displayed. Once it is fully formed, the Metroid Prime Theme begins playing, and the number 4 appears onscreen, enveloped in blue flames. The 42 second trailer depicts the background of space, and gradually forms the Screw Attack S symbol out of space dust. The most that the trailer revealed was that the game was in development for Nintendo Switch. It was shown during the Nintendo Spotlight at E3 2017 and uploaded to YouTube as a separate video afterwards. Metroid Prime 4 - First Look is the reveal trailer for Metroid Prime 4. Please do not add speculation to this article and try to provide a source for information you add. The content may change dramatically as more information becomes available. This article or section contains information about an unreleased video game. The only way we’re going to truly get to experience the best version of Metroid Prime is in VR, and it will be a cold day in hell before Nintendo makes a game for the Meta Quest or Valve Index.This article is written from the Real Life point of view We may never get a definitive version of the Metroid Prime Trilogy, as so much of what made the original great is stuck on old hardware. We don’t know what kind of control schemes Metroid Prime on Switch will offer, largely because the game still hasn't been officially confirmed, but there’s a good chance it will have some gyroscope support - it just won’t be very accurate. The House of the Dead: Remake made a fairly strong attempt to replicate the light gun experience with the Joy-Cons, but it was pretty unreliable, and required you to compensate with a hybrid layout that used the thumb sticks to help you be more accurate. Gyro Sensors are not very good at tracking point accuracy however, so shooters and light gun-style games can’t really use them. ![]() This works pretty well for one-to-one motion, though even Skyward Sword required frequent recalibration to keep it accurate. While the Wii and Wii U hased an infrared sensor bar to track the position of the Wii Remote, the Joy-Con uses a Gyro sensor to measure movement. If you played Skyward Sword on the Switch, the differences in accuracy and useability are obvious. ![]() I suspect the Switch version will have some motion control options, but it won’t be the same. The Switch version of the Trilogy will offer portability and enhanced graphics, but it will necessarily lose the motion controls of the original Trilogy collection, and that’s such a shame. I believe the Prime Trilogy’s motion controls - which were introduced in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and retrofitted onto Prime 1 and 2 for the first Metroid Prime Trilogy bundle on Wii - are the superior, and I’ll go as far to say the correct way to enjoy these games. Now that praise has been heaped, allow me to get a bit controversial. Related: Metroid Dread Mastered The Illusion Of Exploration More than a spin-off, Metroid Prime feels like a logical evolution for the series, and I have always hoped we’d see it continue on much like 3D Mario, Zelda, and Sonic have. Metroid Prime maintains all of the exploration and puzzle-solving qualities of the original series but shifts the perspective into first-person for a more immersive and action-focused experience. The last time I replayed them was on the Wii U in 2015, and my love for the series only grew stronger throughout that playthrough. I’m ecstatic to revisit the Prime Trilogy on one of my favorite consoles.
