It's crazy because they could have easily kept pumping out Prime games back then by having Retro focus on it exclusively and made tons of money from it.
That would be my guess. With the rate Nintendo has slowed down 1st party games coming out, they’re most likely aiming for having a strong launch offering for a new system.
Nintendo canned this and had Retro Studios take over development something like 3 years ago, saying that it wasn't up to what they considered an acceptable standard for a Metroid game.
I'm hopeful~ The success of the Metroid Prime remaster should show Nintendo that people want this series... once it gets out of development hell, anyways.
Same, I think between Dread showing huge Metroid hype in general and the remaster showing interest in the Prime series, Nintendo must know that fans are starving for this thing.
The development scrapping and resetting was tough to hear, but hopefully it'll be well worth the wait.
@WorseDoughnut, I sure hope so! It’s been a long time coming, and Dread is indeed amazing, after you get into the flow (and the finger gymnastics needed for it).
they did say they were working on ES6 but they also did explicitly say that the real work on the game wouldn’t begin until after Starfield shipped. i’ as anxious for the next ES game as the next guy but they did at least let us know it was going to be a while.
