Metroid Prime 4

Seriously, the price might never drop? It's only been a few months since it has been out, so I wasn't expecting anything for a year or two, but no price drops sucks.

You could try getting a refurbished or traded one in a worst case scenario.

As mentioned, I was just going by Nintendo's history with how they typically don't price drop things like Sony and Microsoft do (with certain exceptions), but I could always be wrong about them not later doing so with the Switch, given how they've already reworked some things about it like online according to feedback, so will have to see how that all goes...

Anywho, main reason I was posting here again was to point out this news. It's not solid, but MP4 to possibly come 2018.

I'd prefer 2019 at the earliest though unless the Switch becomes easier to find and obtain before then, what with all the stock still selling out, etc.

2018? Holy shit, that would be awesome and completely unexpected.

Okay so, hoping we get a release date sometime during E3.

They got a Halo artist on board as the lead art director? Excellent; some good news on the game for once, after the delay/development restart and all.

Good to hear this is still being worked on. It'll be day 1 for me (most likely).

Isn't it a little late in the cycle for new leads though? It's been more than 2 years since the announcement.

Oh, now they give a port to Metroid Prime, or in this case, the HD treatment with new visuals which was more than I expected. Same with more control options like playing it with dual sticks. Will be a couple weeks till the physical version is out, but will nab the digital version sometime tonight. 👆

Eh, I'll just play my Gamecube copy.

Glad to see my Switch owner morale has more or less remained intact.

The psychic stuff and new suit was interesting. Cautiously optimistic.

Sad this board is dead, people would be going nuts.

Looks like shit

Can't imagine what cdtm would say about this, the new Doom, or anything else if he were still here. Not much that can be done about dead forums though.

This game I should be more optimistic for than I am, but it's just kinda there. Others as expected are extra critical on it after how long everyone had to wait. While I'm not that much a debbie downer at this point, I'd be lying if I said Retro's "management" and release history didn't kill some of the hype for me as time went on. As it is though still, am cautiously optimistic at best, lukewarm at worst.

Which is still better than I am with other commonly played game series now which is lukewarm all around until perhaps they have more games coming out again, but the development restart and delays for this one up till now simply took its toll. Also concerned how much retention it'll have for me after I go through it first time. Worst case, I'll move on from it after beating it sooner than I otherwise would, or I come around to it more somehow after the fact, but keeping expectations in check still.
