Er gaan al jaren geruchten over Metroid Prime Trilogy HD voor de Nintendo Switch. Talloze insiders hebben gezegd dat de game eraan komt, maar Nintendo heeft het bestaan ervan nog steeds niet aangekondigd.
VentureBeat-journalist Jeff Grubb verscheen onlangs in de Giant Bomb-show en zei dat de geremasterde trilogie af is, maar Nintendo moet nog beslissen wanneer het wordt uitgebracht. p>
Het zou logisch zijn om het uit te brengen vóór Metroid Prime 4, maar we weten nog steeds niet wanneer dat komt vanwege het opnieuw opstarten dat het van Bandai Namco terug naar Retro Studios heeft ontvangen.
Jeff Grubb over Metroid Prime Trilogy HD
The game is done and Nintendo is holding it. I think Metroid Prime trilogy is done and whether or not Nintendo releases it now or later depends on other factors.
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 [to sit on it] and that’s how they’re treating it.
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. Japan is still dealing with these issues so I don’t think those processes are going to open up any time soon.
The other factor for Metroid Prime Trilogy is that it’s definitely going to be a marketing beat for Metroid Prime 4, almost certainly. 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.
Laten we hopen dat het eerder vroeger dan later op de Nintendo Switch komt.
