Former Retro Studios Employee here

January 2017 to September 2023 Environmental Artist. Here is some info I can share...
>there was plans for a 3rd DK platformer after Tropical Freeze but due to the low sales of that game Nintendo said NO. It never really got past the thought process but on the ideas was to have Funky as a playable character which would later happen in the Switch port of Tropical Freeze.
>Metroid Prime Remastered was used as a "training tool" to get employees comfortable with working on Metroid. It wasn't initially planned to be released to the public but they liked how it turned out and decided to release it. There is no more remasters coming.
>Prime 4 is probably around 50 percent complete and sill a Switch title. We have heard nothing about any type of Switch successor. As far as a release I'm guessing sometime next year.
>Bandai Namco's Prime 4 was pretty much Prime 3 with the ability to "possess" enemies and use them to attack other enemies and solve puzzles
>We did plan for a "crafting mechanic" for Prime 4 but dumped it early on feeling at that point it was already overdone in games
>Prime 4 does however feature a skill tree
>Takes place several years after Prime 4. Samus is older and has an adopted daughter whose father was a federation marine and was killed. You will play as her in the game along with samus. You'll play as samus about 60 percent of the game and her protoge for 40 percent
>if there is a Prime 5 it's likely she will fully take over the role of Samus in the Prime universe.
>the game is more focused on exploration and puzzle solving that prior entries but will still feature combat as well which will impilemted in new ways.
>There was also plans to make Prime 4 a reboot of the series but this was widely dismissed early on.
>A new variation of Kraid will in the game.

        That's the scary part, this could actually be true since they hired that tumblr chick who thinks samus is trans to be the writer.

    We know it's almost complete and likely releasing this year.
    >We have heard nothing about any type of Switch successor. As far as a release I'm guessing sometime next year.
    We know the successor is releasing this year.
    Didn't read the rest of your post because you're clearly putting no effort in making things believable for us who actually keep up with news.

      you're an absolute moron if you think the switch is coming this year. Nintendo has NEVER announced a console successor in the same year they released it.
      >but my favorite e celeb said i...its coming...

    I'll bite. Do people at Retro know what happened to the Spangenberg guy? Is he still alive, at least?

      I think this was mentioned in a DYKG episode where they interviewed former Retro devs. All DYKG were allowed to say was that he is still alive.

    You are full of shit. There is no way that would happen ever in a million years, especially after how Metroid Dread ended

      Samus’s story is over in Dread. With or without her, Metroid 6 has a pretty clean slate as far as story goes. I could see it.

      Returns is still ahead, even after the Switch port of TF and OP is talking about before that. While people love Tropical Freeze today remember it was the most hated game in the world when it came out.

        that's just dkgays being melodramatic, metroidgays threw a bit of a tantrum but the game wasn't "hated" it was more like "whatever, yet another platformer from nintendo"

      homosexual, Switch 2 isn't coming for at least a year. THEY NEED TO SHOW IT TO US FIRST, THEN WAIT FROM ABOUT E3 2016 TO MARCH 2017, BUT BY THAT POINT WE KNEW IT'D BE OUT IN 2017 AT SOME POINT.

      WE FRICKING HAVEN'T SEEN SHIIIIIT OF A DESIGN OR GAMEPLAY, NINTY DOESN'T JUST DROP THIS ON US AND SYSTEM RELEASE 2 MONTHS LATER, FRICKING BOTW WAS SHOWN OFF IN 2014 AT THE EARLIEST!!!!!

        Switch wasn't shown at all at E3 2016, they just announced that BotW would be a crossgen release on the NX. They gave us the NX codename years out because the company was collapsing and they had to convince people they weren't jumping ship to mobile when they announced Mario Run. Nintendo isn't collapsing right now so they don't need to assure investors and consumers that they will still exist in a few years, like they did after the WiiU flopped. They don't need to acknowledge new hardware until it is time to reveal it.
        The Switch actually had 134 days between announce and release. Applied from today that only puts us on the forth of June. So, there is still lots of time for it to come out this year.

          interesting

          I think current rumors say march reveal september release, let's see if it's true

          • 5 months ago

            March reveal is certainly possible, but I think anyone predicting it is only doing so off of the idea that they will wait for Princess Peach to release before announcing it. Which is fricking moronic. Peach is clearly a small, cheap game aimed at little girls who bought into the platform for Animal Crossing. It has zero crossover with early adopters of new hardware, and will have no effect on when Nintendo chooses to reveal their next gen hand.

    This sounds believable.
    We know the Switch completed half of its life cycle last year, so there's at least 5 to 7 years left. So a 2025 date for Prime 4 sounds likely.
