![]() ![]() 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.Įver 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 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. If you don't want to watch 3 minutes of Shinya Takahashi talk in Japanese with English sub-titles, you can read the full English transcript below: Remember, it's not a delay when the release date was To Be Announced to begin with! It still fits in that release window. We'd just be wondering what's taking so long, but people already think that.
