The issue now we have right here is that though Samus Hunter has been proper about a few claims in current months – corresponding to a cheeky nod in the direction of the announcement of Xenoblade Chronicles X and a tease that may shortly tie in with the Donkey Kong growth at Tremendous Nintendo World – they’d must have a couple of extra below their belt earlier than we put severe weight behind their info concerning Echoes. As for Jeff Grubb, we actually respect him, however his earlier reviews of Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD Change ports (a.ok.a, the “Zelda blowout” that, on the time of writing, hasn’t occurred) have dented some followers’ confidence.
There’s, nonetheless, cause to imagine that an Echoes remaster (and probably a Corruption remaster) might launch throughout the instructed timeframe. Nintendo has, the place potential, been fairly a fan of having one vital Change launch per thirty days all through the Change’s lifespan, and provided that the success of the unique Metroid Prime Remastered’s February launch, its sequels might properly comply with go well with. We might actually think about Nintendo internet hosting a Direct presentation or cheekily shadow-dropping Echoes and Corruption on the second anniversary of the primary sport.
Picture: Nintendo
Both means, it simply would not really feel proper for the Change to play host to Metroid Prime Remastered and Metroid Prime 4: Past with out Echoes and Corruption. Granted, Past’s ‘huge unhealthy’ Sylux would not present up till a really temporary cameo on the finish of Corruption, however it is smart for Nintendo to permit gamers who may need missed out on the originals to atone for the story thus far.
To Grubb’s credit score, he likened Nintendo’s potential plans for the Prime trilogy to that of Pikmin, and it actually sounds believable: each of the unique Pikmin video games on Gamecube obtained primary remasters on the Change shortly earlier than the launch of Pikmin 4 in 2023, permitting new or lapsed gamers to play catch up earlier than diving into the brand new entry. There’s nonetheless time for Prime 2 and Prime 3 to obtain the identical (or hopefully higher) therapy, and we’re conserving all of our fingers and toes crossed.
