After learning next week’s Direct is a Partner, when we nearly always get a General Direct in February, my hopes for this series took a huge hit. Assuming Nate is correct (excellent track record) about the Partner Direct and the next Nintendo system being revealed next month, the Switch is pretty much finished, and makes it way harder to see Prime 2 or 3 ever being brought to it. Sure, they could still have a hybrid Direct with Switch + Switch 2 info or Twitter releases, but how likely is it those games would still make it to the first Switch at that point?
Not only this, but given the general overlooking and disrespect of Prime 2 and 3, I don’t feel good about them making it to the next system either. Even if they did, it would be annoying for people like me who can’t afford a new system right now and just wanted to experience the classic Prime games again after being promised 1 and 4 for the Switch. As for Prime 4, I’m very worried it’s going to be a disappointing product. Not necessarily terrible, but not worth this disturbing long wait that makes me worry things aren’t going well. Maybe we’ll finally get to see it this year… or maybe it’ll be canceled xP someone talk me off the ledge here and give me realistic hope x( I guess at least we got Prime Remastered and Dread if nothing else!
