Citing development issues, Nintendo is starting over on Metroid Prime 4…
THIS IS NOT THE NEWS I WANTED TO WAKE UP TO TODAY.
I do like the pun though, with the whole Samus rolling into trouble aspect.
Retro taking over development is a nice surprise at least.

Indeed. It’s a positive sign at least. If anyone can capture the magic, I believe Retro can.
I think most of the Metroid Prime guys are long gone from Retro. It will be interesting to see how this turns out.
Yup; a couple of the folks from there went on to form Armature Games. Lead Designer and Art Director at the very least.
Which Metroid would be best for a Metroid-noob to start with? Are there any for handhelds?
Dammit I want a 2D one.
Super Metroid, Fusion and Zero Mission are great to start with.
Yeah, if it’s not a 2D Metroid I’m not interested.
IGN has a decent breakdown of who’s still there from the original Prime trilogy. Obviously it’s not surprisingly that in the decade since Metroid Prime 3 shipped, a lot of people have moved on. What I’m wondering about is what this means for the studio’s rumored Star Fox racing game.
There’s 2017’s Metroid: Samus Returns for handhelds (3DS). I’m a fan of the series (i’ve been casually playing them since I got the original back in my NES days), but I am by no means any sort of expert on it. So while I might suggest starting here if you’re new to the series, someone more in the know might have their own opinion on the subject.
It’s a little harder than past entries, but it’s made with more modern sensibilities when it comes to UI, pacing, and exploration.
I’ve just been on a Metroid binge in the last four months, playing through Super Metroid, Fusion, Zero Mission and now Prime 3 on the Wii (u). I have to say, I know I’m ten years late to the party, but I’m not enjoying Prime3 at all… the formula doesn’t feel like it works as a shooter.
Samia Returns looks pretty awesome though.
Meant to post this when I saw it yesterday, happy start-over-versary!
