In a rather affirmative tone, the journalist accustomed to scoops has just to unveil at GiantBomb that Nintendo is ready to draw a remaster of Metroid Prime in time for the 20th anniversary of the cult GameCube game, namely in November of this year.
Still according to Jeff Grubb, Nintendo would also have finalized remasters of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, but these episodes would be distributed separately and not necessarily at the same time as the first. Metroid Prime. In addition, the latter would have been the subject of a more ambitious treatment than his two successors.
Remember that the franchise imagined by Yoshio Sakamoto made a nice comeback last year with MercurySteam’s Metroid Dread, but that we are talking here about the FPS/3D side of Samus’ adventures. 20 years later, Metroid Prime remains one of the GameCube’s most memorable, atmospheric, and immersive games. Sold at 2.84 million copies, it is also one of the biggest commercial successes of the platform.
If the rumor of a remaster of Metroid Prime is not new, Jeff Grubb seems sure of his sources and the timing seems ideal for Nintendo who could use this cartridge to compensate (in part, eh) the postponement of the sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild in the spring of 2023. In addition, stand out Metroid Prime and its sequels on Switch seems like a no-brainer by the time Retro Studios delivers Metroid Prime 4, announced (much) too early in June 2017.
