Metroid Prime, the beloved sci-fi shooter from 2002 for the Nintendo GameCube, is getting remastered, and what’s more, players can download the digital version of Metroid Prime Remastered later today.
"So right now we’re getting Metroid Dread this year and then I would imagine that Metroid Prime trilogy is something they’ll release close to the release of Metroid Prime 4, whenever that is," said Grubb when speculating about Nintendo's decision to delay the game.It looks like Xbox isn’t the only game company looking to do shadow drops this 2023. He added, "I think a big problem for Nintendo for quite some time during the pandemic was QA… I think Nintendo was focusing its quality assurance resources on one or two big projects at a time and that meant that some games that were basically finished were sitting on the side, while they had their lockdown secure QA processes focused on one or two more important games.”Īnother reason for the delay seems to be that Nintendo is waiting to announce it closer to the release of Metroid 4. Grubb also added that the cause for the delay is related to Nintendo's QA process, which was impacted heavily by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Initial announcement was supposed to be last month. The remaster seems to have been ready for release since last early last year, as voiced by Fanbyte's Imran Khan. "I think that game is sitting in their pocket for whenever Nintendo decides it’s the right time, and Nintendo’s done this a lot recently so it’s not unusual, it’s not a sign of some bad thing happening, it’s not a sign of a lack of faith in Metroid… Nintendo can afford and that’s how they’re treating it." "I think Metroid Prime trilogy is done and whether or not Nintendo releases it now or later depends on other factors," said Grubb.
