Wow, missed that Metroid Prime 4 had gotten a name. Is there an actual release date? I have had this on order from Amazon since 2019, each year it has shifted to Dec 31st of the year.

For now they've only said "2025". Some folks are assuming it'll be a launch title for the Switch successor as well, like with Breath of the Wild on Wii U/Switch. Apparently we might be getting re-releases for 2 and 3 on the Switch before then, but it's all speculation so far.

My guess is Switch 2 shares enough architecture with OG Switch that games for one run on the other. This is why Nintendo has been going after Switch emulators - they're already better than Switch 2 at being Switch 2.

The original lead designer on Prime 1 to 3 once said MP3 would be very hard to remake specifically because of all the built-in wiimote controls. Supposedly they'd have to redo a lot from scratch.

Can't say I get what the problem is exactly but maybe the fact it relied on IR pointing makes it hard to translate or even emulate through gyro input.

Skyward Sword for example was already a gyro controlled game (it used motion plus instead of IR pointing) so maybe it was simpler to adapt.

We will be one of the few who get to buy it at 60 bucks. Next time it's available to pre-order on Amazon, it'll be $70.

At this rate you would have been better off investing $60!

It don't get charged until it ships. I had the same situation with Tears of the Kingdom.

Dang, I just got an email from Amazon that the order was canceled:

If you see a charge for the canceled item, we will refund you within 1-2 business days. If you are still interested in purchasing this item, it may be available from other sellers.

Also just realized I placed the order on August 20, 2018, wow

Got that exact same email. They saw this thread, those bastards.
