On behalf of Nintendo and Retro Studios, I sincerely appreciate your understanding.
NEW METROID PRIME SERIES
However, we will continue developing the game so that when it is completed, it will stand shoulder to shoulder with the past Metroid Prime series titles.
NEW METROID PRIME UPDATE
It will be a long road until the next time we will be able to update you on the development progress, and development time will be extensive. I'd like to extend my deepest, heart-felt apologies to everyone that the launch will be delayed. We strongly recognize that this delay will come as a disappointment to the many fans who have been looking forward to the launch of Metroid Prime 4.
This change will essentially mean restarting development from the beginning, so the completion of the game will be delayed from our initial internal plan. By collaborating and developing with Retro Studios, we believe we can make this game something that will meet our fans' expectations. Specifically, we have decided to have the Producer, Kensuke Tanabe, work in trust and collaboration with the studio that developed the original Metroid Prime series, Retro Studios in the United States, and restart development from the beginning. We have decided to reexamine the development structure itself and change it. From this perspective, we have determined that the current development status of the game is very challenged, and we had to make a difficult decision as a development team. If we're not satisfied with the quality, we aren't able to deliver it to our customers with confidence, and the game will not live up to our fans' expectations. Nintendo always strives for the highest quality in our games and in the development phase, we challenge ourselves and confront whether the game is living up to that quality on a daily basis. Ever since the announcement, we have not been able to give you an update, but as a result of the continuing development since that time, although this is very regrettable - we must let you know that the current development progress has not reached the standards we seek in a sequel to the Metroid Prime series. We have felt it especially from the passionate words from fans we heard when we first announced this title at E3 the year before last. We deeply understand the high anticipation that Metroid Prime series fans have for this title. I wanted to speak with you today to give you an update on Metroid Prime 4, the newest title in the Metroid Prime series. Thank you so much for playing Nintendo games. I am Shinya Takahashi, and I'm responsible for development at Nintendo. Please take a look at the fulll message from Takahashi-san.įor those who don't have time to watch the video, here's a transcript of what was said: The game's development has been entirely scrapped, and Nintendo has brought Retro Studios back to start the process over from the beginning. Shinya Takahashi, Senior Managing Executive Officer at Nintendo, provided an important development update on Metroid Prime 4 for Nintendo Switch this morning.
