Metroid Prime was said to be called Remaster internally. It’s something similar to Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive EditionIsn't it going to be Metroid Prime Remake, and Prime 2 and Prime 3 Remaster?

Yes!I had to tend to work and missed everything so far. So:
- Metroid Prime HD holiday game 2022
- Metroid Prime 2 and 3 are both coming, not as much work put into those games compared to Prime HD, but both should come out before Prime 4
- Possible 1st-party Mini in July, or smaller announcements here and there throughout July to cover the rest of the year before the September Direct
Do I have that all right?
He just had to drop us a plate of some of the ol' reassuranceNothing Jeff Grubb said today is new. Emily has told us a while ago that all three Metroid Prime games will come to the Switch.
That is what people expect Prime 2/3 to beMario 3D All-Stars was emulated, not the same as redeveloping the game from scratch a la Majora's Mask 3DS. So Metroid Prime 1 could be the complete remake and if 2 and 3 are emulated, running in 60fps on a higher resolution then those could be bundled for $60.
So probably
July Mini Direct for first party
August Direct for Splatoon 3
September General Direct
People are already taking Grubb out of context. The July Mini was all speculation on his part. The Metroid Prime announcements was his inside information.

Oh BABYYou got that right
This sounds like exactly what Nintendo will do. And that's a pretty great, varied Holiday lineup, all things considered.Pretty much. Sounds like it'll be a very near-term focus, marketing wise, this summer. That's fairly usual for Nintendo but we've seen them (including in 2021) willing to talk about things that are further out at times.
Makes me wonder if Zelda is just about going to make the fiscal year. Get your 'smaller' announcements out of the way this month and next; anchor your holiday season around Splatoon 3, Pokemon, Metroid Prime HD, and Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope and have that line-up confirmed by mid to late July. Do a Direct in late September, and maybe reveal the Zelda subtitle and release date for late March 2023.
This would be very cool. Basically finish out our 2022 schedule more or less before summer is over, then leave some 2023 megatons for the September Direct (and maybe a Zelda port if that isn't announced in a Mini, though I think that would be perfect timing in the July presentation)So probably
July Mini Direct for first party
August Direct for Splatoon 3
September General Direct
A first-party Direct, Xenoblade 3 and Live a Live in July. We eatin
No it's completely different this timeNothing Jeff Grubb said today is new. Emily has told us a while ago that all three Metroid Prime games will come to the Switch.
First-party Direct in July is speculation. Let's not get ahead of ourselves...
Probably the same idiots who believed Nate saying it’s a Partner Mini Direct on June 28.No it's completely different this time
This time people are huffing massive amounts of copium and want to believe the rumors.
They did 2 month marketing cycles for Paper Mario: The Origami King and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, so it’s certainly not out of the question.But that's the thing... If Nintendo plans to give Prime Remastered a decent marketing cycle and they plan to launch it in November, July would be the month to do it. September is just too close for an announcement. Unless they announce it on Twitter, which i doubt
I agree, it's speculation. But it's based on insider info, especially about Metroid.
Who knows. If you wanna believe the runouts Prime 1 is straddling a remake/remaster along the lines of XC1DE. Without knowing exactly what is being done to 2 & 3 a “few more upgrades” could mean a lot of things.Isn't it going to be Metroid Prime Remake, and Prime 2 and Prime 3 Remaster?
Wouldn't be the first time Nintendo dropped a re-release at short notice, sure.I could just as easily see MPHD being a Twitter drop.
Or hell, maybe even september direct reveal
SameYeah, I know I'm coming from a privileged perspective since I'm able to own a Switch and Xbox, but 3rd party on Switch generally does so little for me because of game pass. Can't get excited about Automata when it's been on Game Pass for like 2+ years. But Mario + Rabbids and any surprises have my interest
His speculation hasn't been terrible. And he was the one who said it sounded like(paraphrasing) Nintendo was splitting up it's stuff into smaller things. We had the Xenoblade direct. Now this partner showcase. Sparks of Hope supposedly on Wednesday. I think we somewhat expect a Splatoon direct unless there is some 1st party mini next month.Nobody is taking him out of context. It had already been acknowledged it seemed like speculation on his part for the July mini
You can't be the one to say it's flawed unless Nintendo outright says Bayonetta wouldn't be in a Partner's Showcase. It's third party property developed by a third party developer so as far as we know it could be fair game.
And going back to the Live A Live example, that's also different because it's not published by Nintendo worldwide. Nintendo is publishing Bayonetta 3 in all regions which is different from both the LAL and Rabbids examples you used.
Yup, thinks of 3D All StarsWouldn't be the first time Nintendo dropped a re-release at short notice, sure.
No it's completely different this time
This time people are huffing massive amounts of copium and want to believe the rumors.
As in literally or company values? I just like BioWare’s rpgs and would like to play those again on a portable as it’s the only way I’m likely to run through the saga again these days.Do you know what EA stands for?
I have no clue, this is Nintendo.I feel like 3D All Stars was so unceremonious, though. The upgrades were minimal (and I say this as someone who is grateful for the collection on the whole). Xenoblade DE had a September 2019 reveal and a May 2020 release -- would a loving remaster/remake of one of the greatest games of all time only get 1.5-2 months of advance notice before release?
This sounds right to me. Nintendo doesn’t place much weight on release dates as big announcements, so I think it’s very feasible that they just give us a new trailer with a date at some point in July for Bayonetta 3.My two cents, Prime HD is the last major 1st party holiday release Nintendo needs to communicate to us, and it’ll be released in November or December, with an announcement at the September Direct, everything else Nintendo needs to communicate for the time being can easily be done through Twitter, such as:
- Mario Kart DLC
- Mario Strikers updates
- Switch Sports updates
- Splatoon 3 Direct
- Advance Wars release date
- Bayonetta 3 release date
Eat ass?Do you know what EA stands for?
It's based on insider speculation.
July is the bit I have not been able to confirm/verify, yet. It seems possible/likely but don't have any clear indication of it being a thing at the moment.I had to tend to work and missed everything so far. So:
- Metroid Prime HD holiday game 2022
- Metroid Prime 2 and 3 are both coming, not as much work put into those games compared to Prime HD, but both should come out before Prime 4
- Possible 1st-party Mini in July, or smaller announcements here and there throughout July to cover the rest of the year before the September Direct
Do I have that all right?
I like to believe they're showing now 3rd parties due to contractual requirements and partners' pressure. Meanwhile we wait a bit more and they'll show 1st party titles (and some more demanding 3rd party games) later, alongside a new hardware unveal.
I mean this is not too out there is it?
