Soon aka 2027 and then we have to wait until 2032 for the release date trailer.

How many years has it been now since they flashed a logo?

Metroid Prime 4 was already announced in the E3 of 2017. Considering it was rebooted, I think they may show it next year or in 2024.
Nintendo also released Switch ports of many WiiU, 3DS or even Wii games and Metroid Dread was the best selling Metroid game ever, so I think it would be likely to see them asking someone to port/remaster/remake the Metroid Prime trilogy to release it a few months before the the Metroid Prime 4 release.

Not a chance. They'll sell them separately

Weird, I was just going to start a thread a couple days ago asking if people thought a Metroid Prime Remaster Collection was possible since I was kind of in the mood to replay those games. Would be excited if they announce that.

I loved the Prime games but a new Donkey Kong Country from Retro would be a better fit for the Switch hardware.
Why not? They already released Metroid Prime Trilogy once.

Each for 70 bucks and I'll buy them.

That was a different Nintendo. A Nintendo that updated GameCube games with Wii pointer controls for half the price.
And before anyone says " super Mario 3d collection" to me. That was a limited time release and not a whole lot of effort went into them to be honest. Not a lot needed to be done in that case.
A lot more work would need to go into updating the prime controls for a modern audience, not to mention updating the visuals etc.
The best case scenario would be like the Bayonetta 1 and 2switch port situation where they would offer you a deal to buy 2 games in one go for a reduction but they will be sold separately I would bet.
I also think the reason we haven't gotten this collection yet is probably largely due to them trying to sort out this very issue with pricing.

Two generations ago.
Other companies do it on same hardware even, I'd say give them a pass on this one.

So I believe it will get announced in January... But not sure it's going to happen this week or next week because it's so close to the holidays. This is the kind of announcement that goes in a Nintendo Direct.
Prove me wrong Nintendo, announce it today.

The amount of years that passed since MP3 is incredible. It's like they don't want money.

Sure. As soon as Okami 2 is also announced too. We'll see about that.
edit: Was in a shit mood earlier so sorry about the snarkiness. Bring on the Metroid Prime! :]

I really applaud that Nintendo decided to give MP4 to Retro instead. We could have had a lackluster version maybe even a year ago, but now instead we have something good to look forward to.

Most of the people who made the original Prime games are gone. Retro hasn't released a new game in more than 8 years. I worry.
I think they are a good developer, and Prime 1 is my all time fave, but I'm keeping my expectations in check. I also thought Dread was kinda meh, since it didn't really innovate or surprised me and considering the producer is prob the same person, I will lower my expectations even more.

The new game will barely look any better than the original Prime, and it won't run at 60fps, mark my words. That Switch magic.

Kinda difficult to believe that considering it’ll be the series first game in HD. That alone is quite significant jump.

Well that doesn't mean much, the people that left Retro made Recore a game so terrible in every regard. Let's hope the real talent is still active at Retro.
I doubt WW is coming out next year with TOTK.

Or "I'm so young I only care about recent games and pretend I have played all the classics". You know the game is over 20 years old right? It's also a REMASTER, not a remake ffs! Stupid comments deserves stupid answers!

It wasn’t meant to be a negative comment, I think it’s a pretty accurate descriptor. MP1 upgraded to around PS3 spec

Yes it was .. why even then?
But seeing as it’s an upres with upres textures of a game cube game I guess it could be a compliment.
