We also can’t help but be disappointed that they didn’t announce Metroid Prime Trilogy or an HD remake of Metroid: Samus Returns or something of that nature to soften the blow.
Let’s hope the increased wait is worth it in the long run! In 2007, Retro Studios released Metroid Prime 3: Corruption for the Nintendo Wii. Its been a few days since the stunning announcement from Nintendo that Metroid Prime 4s development is being scrapped and restarted, which means it will. We do have to give Nintendo credit for taking a hard look at a project and realizing that it’s just not up to standard. After the development of Metroid Prime 4 wasn’t meeting the standards Nintendo was hoping for, Shinya Takahashi confirmed it was being scrapped and restarted.

This also begs the question why they didn’t utilize Retro Studios from the beginning? Were they busy working on something else? Obviously something went awry in the planning and development of this game.

This is a bitter pill to swallow for all of those who were anticipating this future game. No time table was given, but given what Nintendo is saying, we would not expect Metroid Prime 4 to be available for a good two to three years based on what a typical AAA game development schedule tends to take. This means the game is essentially just entering development and will not be ready for a long period of time. The game has not come together the way they had hoped and they made the difficult decision to stop development on the game and start from scratch with the original developers of the series, Retro Studios. Instead the game will now be developed by Retro Studios, the developer responsible for the original Metroid Prime series, with producer Kensuke Tanabe. Today Nintendo updated us on Metroid Prime 4‘s development and unfortunately it’s not good news. This is because in a recent video shared on YouTube (via ArsTechnica), Nintendo General Manager for Development Shinya Takahashi revealed that development on Metroid Prime 4 had been scrapped.
