#Metroid prime 4 screenshots archive#
These documents contained the game’s alleged stock keeping unit (SKU) code that Best Buy would use to archive it in its system. In early April 2019, Wario64 tweeted screenshots of Best Buy’s employee system which mentioned the Metroid Prime Trilogy for the Nintendo Switch. Wario64 has accurately leaked details about Valve’s Index virtual reality headset and that Overwatch was being ported to the Nintendo Switch, so they do have some credibility. The TechPlusGame post where McTrOiD claims he found the Best Buy link. The redditor who originally posted the image to Reddit, u/alch3m1stz, explicitly said that they made up the link based on an April 2019 Metroid Prime Trilogy leak by trusted games insider Wario64. The same URL TechPlusGame linked out to in its story - the same one that McTrOiD supposedly got their screenshot from - was also posted on Reddit on Ap(mere hours after April Fools' Day ended). Even then, the link it provides to the Best Buy listing produces an error.
When Inverse visited the link on Monday, it did not work, but it has since been restored.
They claimed that they found the information about Best Buy Metroid Prime Trilogy page in a Sunday news article by TechPlusGame. “It has a link to the listing and I instantly had to tweet that out since no one else was talking about it.” “It was around 6:30ish went on Google and I just saw this article of the situation,” the person who runs the McTrOid account told Inverse. When Inverse asked the leaker where they found the alleged Best Buy listing, McTrOiD’s story didn't quite add up.
McTrOiD’s tweet was written about by several video game news sites Monday morning, which stirred another wave of Metroid Prime Trilogy rumors. The Best Buy screenshot that made waves Monday. The image showed a listing for “Metroid Prime Trilogy - Nintendo Switch.” We're led to assume that the retailer accidentally published the landing page for the game before Nintendo even announced the title. It all started with a screenshot of Best Buy’s website that was tweeted by Metroid fan account McTrOiD on Sunday. This leak set off Inverse’s BS alarm from the outset, and as much as we want to believe that Samus will make her glorious comeback on the Switch sometime soon, there’s too much evidence that suggests this latest Metroid information is a total fake. Sadly, the sad truth is just a year-old April Fools' Day joke that has somehow been recycled to spread misinformation yet again. Just how accurate is this "leak," however But there was a glimmer of hope for fans on Sunday when an alleged leak for a Best Buy listing seemingly revealed that the long-rumored remastered version of Metroid Prime Trilogy (2009) would soon be coming to the Switch. For now, fans only have to be happy with this newly-veiled concept art.There has been a glaring absence of Metroid games on the Nintendo Switch, especially since the highly-anticipated Metroid Prime 4 has faced enough delays that the franchise seems even more lost in space than ever before. The announcement could help further talk about Metroid Prime 4, but there is simply no way for you to know that. There were many rumors about a new remaster of the first game, and as soon as possible, the game could start on Switch in the second half of the year. Since there are many major games already being announced this year, it would appear quite unlikely that Metroid Prime 4 will come in time for that anniversary.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the original Metroid Prime, which debuted on Nintendo GameCube on November 18th 2002. The company briefly mentioned the game at E3 2021 during Metroid Dread’s announcement, but there haven’t been any gameplay footage shown yet, no screenshots and no entitlement of the release window. In the three years leading up to this, Nintendo hasn’t found any information yet. In January 2019, Nintendo announced the development of the game went from scratch. Nintendo announced the new Metroid Prime at E3 2017, but it didn’t start at that time. Retro Studios is responsible for the third of the first Metroid Prime games. The new image could be a hint that an announcement is coming soon!Ī picture that was taken from the company’s Twitter account can be found below.
#Metroid prime 4 screenshots update#
The developer only manages to update its Twitter account the most recent Tweet is from January 27th when Retro shared two jobs openings and before that, the developer hadn’t yet Tweeted since December 2020. Retro Studios has updated the banner on Twitter to a new art piece of the protagonist Samus Aran. Although the news on Metroid Prime 4 was almost impossible for Nintendo Switch fans to come by, it seems that it could be changing soon.
