This Direct was a big one for not just Nintendo fans but everyone else……….
Today I watched the Summer 2024 Nintendo Direct, expecting to see Metroid Prime 2 + 3 Remastered, instead, I and many other were completely caught off guard by something massive
We have got games that we’re so happy to see again. I’m sure others would enjoy the other games like that Dragon Quest game.
First off we have Mario & Luigi: Brotherhood.
This game that was rumored back then when Nintendo put out a survey for fans wanting a new Mario & Luigi game. What’s interesting is the series’s respective studio Alpha Dream went bankrupt so it’s surprising that Nintendo themselves managed to continue the series. I’m too am happy to see it return. The graphics are so damn great.
BYW the artstyle reminds me of a fan artist on Twitter named Dingus.
Next up is Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.
This game is the first Zelda game to feature Zelda as the main protagonist. Now that makes a whole lot of sense because, you know, Zelda’s name is on the title.
They finally announced Metroid Zero Mission for the GBA Online.
This had gave me hope that presumably, they would announce Metroid Prime 2 + 3 Remastered. So I well ‘try to summon the remasters into existence’ and at the very end of the direct, just when I was about to give up hope.
I was presented with this text.
And this shot.
It seemed that I fully made the remasters finally happen. As I was watching this scene, I realized that I don’t remember this scene on Prime 2 or Prime 3. At that moment, not only that I realized what game I was watching, I also remembered the fabled and legendary game that was in development………
I was watching the Trailer for Metroid Prime 4
The graphics, the gameplay, the characters, just looks EPIC
I was in shock as to what happened. I was shaking uncontrollably. I never thought Nintendo would announce the game in this year. FTW, Metroid Prime 4 was announced way back in June 13 2017, it was when Samus Returned (Literally). Besides that, no released date was given. People waited for the game to be revealed. On 2021, there was an another Metroid Game, but it was Metroid Dread, a sequel to Metroid Fusion.
There were rumors of a Metroid Prime Trilogy Remastered which was partially true because on February 8th 2023, they’ve swiftly announced Metroid Prime 1 Remastered, a game with great graphics (compared to Scarlet and Violet). After that, fans assumed that they’re gonna wait for Metroid Prime 4 as they believe that Prime 2 + 3 remastered would come after. That’s when during this direct in 2024, Nintendo dropped the trailer for the long awaited game.
(PLEASE DONT SCREW THIS UP)
