The company made the surprise announcement during its E3 Nintendo Direct presentation on June 13, 2017. All that was revealed was a 43-second animation showing outer space and a ‘4’ symbol appearing, along with a message reading “Metroid Prime 4 now in development for Nintendo Switch“.
I still think E3 could have been good if they only accepted games with a release date within 12 months and required in-engine gameplay.
Always felt that getting hype for something from E3 was a eight year track to sadness.
Six years and counting.
