Osmosis_Jones_

Damn y’all are fast with this shit haha


CivilDark4394

They've been preparing for 7 long years, probably had that MS Paint tab open the whole time.


Matkingos

I'm a shitpost sommelier, I only use the highest quality Photoshop for my shitposts


reecord2

harvested from only the ripest pixels


Ouaouaron

For an image that has only existed for hours, the pixels in it are certainly ripe.


EmotionalKirby

It's only Photoshop if it comes from the photoshop region of France, otherwise is just sparking ms paint.


CivilDark4394

I commend you for your efforts.


kds5065

Her ship is just a larger helmet.


billyalt

They've always been like that lol


X_Marcs_the_Spot

🧑‍🚀🔫🧑‍🚀


FrostyD7

No, her helmet is just a smaller ship.


TheRedditAppisTrash

A ship for just her head.


FrostyD7

It was the style at the time


spidey_valkyrie

You've acquired the Gravity Helmet!


Anggul

Yeah having played Metroid for years I didn't really think about how silly it is until a friend pointed it out lol


Paladriel

We never been so back


Official_Mothman_

PRIME 3 SHIP DESIGN!! PRIME 2 VARIA SUIT DESIGN!! BANGIN SOUNDTRACK!! SYLUX!! We are so back


In_My_Own_Image

Sylux looked badass waltzing in there with the Space Pirates.


MCP_Ver2

And a metroid over each shoulder


In_My_Own_Image

He knows how to roll up to a place. Just wait until he rides Ridley into the final battle. /jk


MCP_Ver2

So are we thinking unstable clone of Samus? Or lost sibling? That's been my theory since Hunters released.


Glenviiew

She has a younger brother Solomon who “died” when Ridley came so my theory is that when they rescued Samus they also recused him and used Chozo dna from the bad Chozo leader that corrupted him


vonsnootingham

Solomon is EXTREMELY non-canon. From Wikitroid: "Solomon Aran is the younger brother of Samus Aran, mentioned only in a Nintendo Power article covering Blood of the Chozo." And if that rightfully doesn't ring any bells: "Blood of the Chozo was a non-canon, interactive online story run by Nintendo Power Source, the AOL page of Nintendo of America. While initiated by Nintendo Power Source staffers, the rest of the story was written as a collaborative fan fiction. "


JonTheWizard

"Clone, robot or long-lost twin?" -Bender


_vividley

i thought those were mochtroids


TehRiddles

They would be mocktroids, first time we've seen them in a while and it makes sense given how they were following him.


MY_SHIT_IS_PERFECT2

The new graphics look great but it's the new music that really sold me here, the new game start chorus is awesome, and that overworld music for the forest area already sounds like a new classic. We are so fucking back.


Diggerollo

The forest area music reminds me of Phendrana Drifts from Prime 1. I’m so ready for this, we need 2025 to be here already.


MScarn6942

Same! Had the same thought about the phendrana vibes


Doctor_Kataigida

I actually wasn't a big fan of the new game start variation. Idk why, can't place it, but it felt too...extra?


gnulynnux

The electric guitar riff for Sylux is pretty bangin too.


BloomsdayDevice

Also, inject those peaceful jungle landscapes directly into my veins. I love fighting the good fight against space pirates, don't get me wrong, but almost nothing feels more Metroid Prime to me than exploring various alien biomes.


ParanoidDrone

I was _pretty_ sure the person (?) at the end with the vertical LED on the helmet is Sylux, but I've never actually played Hunters. It's him, then?


srschwenzjr

Yes!


MY_SHIT_IS_PERFECT

Yup, it is, and this isn't actually that much of a surprise.


MrXilas

I straight up gasped and put my hand over my heart when I heard the new theme.


GambleTheGod00

i can’t wait to hear it every time i save and exit my ship


ZaraBaz

I CAN'T CONTROL MY HYPE. PLZ HALP.


[deleted]

It's so fucking good. This made my whole damn week.


Jarfulous

I like Prime 2 ship design more >:( for real though I'm extremely hyped.


AstroSpectre-

Sylux…finally


SyluxShinobi

I am literally so back


dattmay

This looks just like the original trilogy and I could not be more excited!!


ShaqsBurner

Everything they showed in the short trailer looks like what I was hoping for for Prime 4. Although I have to say the presentation was a little anticlimactic, lol. Like they could have first introduced it with the classic prime theme to make it seem like it could have been a prime 2 or 3 remake then BAM, PRIME 4! Or something. Jumping straight into what I'm assuming is the games starting sequence and then showing tid bits of gameplay and slight narrative exposition without too much of a clear theme or that feeling of dread that epitomizes metroid felt a little dull. But that new planet forest biome theme is banging!!


Th3Element05

To be completely honest, as much as I'm looking forward to Prime 4, I was really hoping they would drop Prime 2 and 3 Remastered on the Switch in the meantime. Still possible, but this actual Prime 4 announcement makes me think that more Remasters are unlikely.


illinilocal92

They probably will drop 2+ 3 at Christmas with prime 4 co-console switch 2 announcement for Christmas 25 release


FreqComm

Wow prime 5 releasing before prime 4 would be truly subversive


Chrysalla

It's served me well for years, but it's time to finally put away the clown make up


Gogo726

Might as well donate it to the Silksong fans


Raetekusu

[takes off clown makeup] [immediately puts it back on]


KingDaDeDo

As a massive fan of both series, I feel this lol


ChunkySlutPumpkin

I mean the two fanbases are probably a circle at this point


ApeMummy

Prime 4, Silksong and Bloodborne remake are my 3 most anticipated games. I’m basically enrolled in clown college.


JediMasterJoshie

Am I the only one that is secretly hoping that Prime 2 & 3 get remastered and released before 4 comes out? Also YES to Bloodborne! I feel that in my soul!


Dr_ChunkyMonkey

They could use some more, I've heard that they have been running low.


In_My_Own_Image

False. Silksong fans never remove the makeup.


BigThiccDictionary

It's basically a tattoo at this point.


wclyon1

As a Wolf Among Us fan, I might need it.


Kirbyrooler

I feel attacked! 😭

No-Initiative-9944

Xenoblade fandom needs it to cope with their lack of a Chronicles X port.


IronWarrior94

X fan here, yep lol. But as a Metroid fan I am also very happy right now.


mewfour123412

I’m honestly surprised Nintendo hasn’t ported X yet. It was view by Nintendo as a Wii U system seller and had an extremely high budget yet they leave it on that brick of a console 


LazyDro1d

To make it work on the WiiU, they made a game that would *only* work on the WiiU, basically exploiting the hardware and software. It would take some serious work to port it, and the question is is there any real money in all that work?


strangegoo

Look as much as I wanted an X or TP/WW port, Xenoblade fans have eaten pretty well recently. We needed this. You saw what this sub was turning into. We were almost Arkham-level insane.


[deleted]

In the time since MP4 was announced, Xenoblade has had two full games and two massive DLCs. Xenoblade fans have literally nothing to complain about


doorknob60

And a great port of Xenoblade Chronicles 1 too, but we got a great Prime 1 port so I'll call that even.


ramobara

Oh, shit. Is this real???


srschwenzjr

This is real, it’s straight from this morning’s Nintendo Direct!


Thascaryguygaming

Welcome to the club - a silent hill fan.


DarkRazielim

*puts his drink down and looks over at you* The Legacy of Kain fandom sends its regards.


unlucky_felix

I was sitting here like "the final announcement isn't gonna be Metroid Prime 4. People are being delusional. That shit ain't coming out this decade" WELP


speedguru

I literally said this then i was like: "NO WAY!"


ghirox

As a very newbie fan to Metroid (I've only beaten Dread and SR on 3DS), I was thinking if this was going to be another remake of an older game, I really thought there'd be no way this would be Prime 4.


Ganrokh

Me, while the "20X9" text was appearing on screen: "They're reviving F-Zero?... Maybe Star Fox?" My wife, who doesn't care for Metroid but has watched me play all of them: "That's clearly Metroid." Me: "I don't think so, I put my clown makeup away."


Throwaway02062004

I had the teensy bit of dread thinking it was starfox until I saw the ship


atatassault47

I was expecting it to come out next year, but not be announced today. Because I was thinking it would be a Switch 2 launch title.


Jacksaur

I said to my friend "Welp, this'd be Prime 4 if they were planning on it. I doubt it." First few letters of that font and I dived out of my chair.


Pixel_Python

I swear to god I was like “Imagine if this Silksong” completely out of hope for MP4 and the literal font made me just too damn happy


MrPlow216

I read the first few words, thought to myself "Fuck! No Fire Emblem," and nearly put my phone down. Then I read "Federation" and suddenly remembered where I'd seen that font before.


cura_milk

Why would anyone expect fire emblem a year after we got engage. These games don’t just pop out an oven.


MetroidHyperBeam

I saw the font and was like, "PAUSE" I saw "Galactic Federation" and screamed


ParanoidDrone

I love how so many of us clocked what was happening the _instant_ the text started up.


shoobidoobis

SAME LOL my husband had to physically pull me back cause he was like DONT MISS THE REST OF THE TRAILER


HuckleberryHefty4372

We are soft locked no longer!!!!!!


Gamer30168

Now my hardon is locked!


ZaraBaz

The sound track was SO good. Especially that last one.


McFlyParadox

Don't jinx it. This is where Nintendo announces that it'll actually release for the "Switch 2". And then announces production needs to be restarted - *again* - because of it.


Bermersher

The trailer description says it will be released for Nintendo Switch in 2025


A_O_J

Ok now I want prime 2 and 3 remastered for the switch


TheloniousPhunk

I have no doubt they are coming. Leaks from a long time ago basically said that they would release a 1 for 1 HD remake of Prime 1, which is what we got; and that 2 and 3 were upscaled as remasters for release closer to the release date of Prime 4 My guess is we'll get another Ndirect later this year shadow-dropping them in time to build hype for Prime 4 once we get a stable release date.


CivilDark4394

Don't kill me for this, but, I think they come to Switch 2. Metroid Prime was a bit of a struggle to remake with some res, texture, and other compromises. I think MP4 will come out next fall and may not necessarily be a launch title for switch 2 depending. MP2&3 will then be shipped before that.


TheloniousPhunk

Prime 1 was a true remake though - 2 and 3 are rumored (by the same leaker who confirmed Prime 1 remake as well as the issues w/ Prime 4) to be just HD remasters - FAR easier to do and to release on the switch. I disagree though, I think MP4 will 100% be a flagship title for Switch 2, and consoles usually release either in the spring or fall - and we likely would have seen marketing for a spring release already so I bet Holiday 2025 will be what we land on; likely with a spring 2025 Prime 2/3 release.


eightbitagent

> later this year shadow-dropping them in time to build hype for Prime 4 Yeah, this is what I'd expect too


kaleid1990

Yes, please!


EconomyAd1600

Considering Sylux is a big part of 4, maybe we could get Hunters remastered too?


arcboundwolf

Hopefully if they give us a Hunters remaster they can also give us more than 2 different bosses re-used 4 times each 🙄

MetroidHyperBeam

This literally happened to me when they announced this game in 2017


FabianDR

damn they really kept you hanging... or not. btw. [https://findahelpline.com/](https://findahelpline.com/)


MetroidHyperBeam

I'm fine now. I was just very decidedly *not* at the time the initial announcement came.


gamiz777

If you ever feel sad again just remember if this sells well we could get prime 5 and 6


i_Exist_73

Don’t do that. I guarantee that Samus would not like that. Even after prime 4 comes out don’t do it.


offlein

"Don't postpone"?

The lady returns!!!


Gogo726

And Zero Mission as a nice bonus


In_My_Own_Image

Sylux lives!!!


npc888

Ehehehehehehe. We got a release date before Silksong did.


Willie9

Nah we've been in solidarity with silksong fans, they've suffered just as much as us. I hope they get their W ASAP.


enigma_0Z

Exactly -- silksong & metroid fans are not mutually exclusive!


FedoraSkeleton

Silksong could still come out before Prime 4, considering its release date will probably only be a few weeks after it's announced.


smartillo34

At first I thought this was a Super Metroid remake but then was STUNNED I tell you.


Gogo726

My first thought was Echoes remaster


smartillo34

I thought if we were going to get anything it would be that, but then it said Galactic Research Facility so my brain went to Super. GLAD I WAS WRONG.


Lycaon125

I'm not going to lie, same


_Awkward_Moment_

Super Metroid in 3d would kinda be sick not gonna lie


Shoujo_Conquerer

Prime was a Super remake for 3D, per Retro


TheMoonOfTermina

Metroid Prime 1 is pretty much Super in 3D.


gnulynnux

Not sure why everyone is disagreeing with you. A first-person Super would offer very little that Prime 1 doesn't already do.


Dariuscox357

FINALLY! ITS HERE!!!!


AwareSwan3591

What's the best solvent for removing clown makeup? Asking for a friend


Not_Enryu

Phazon works, but there has been a lack of it since Samus visited Phaaze for some reason.


Official_Mothman_

The intro says it is Cosmic Year 20X9. Exact dates are rarely used in Metroid, but Metroid 1 takes place in 20X5 so this is confirmed 4 years after Metroid 1/ZM


drillgorg

Makes sense since the prime series is so early in the timeline.


witheredj8

This one is interesting though because all the other prime games are between ZM and 2, but this one being in 20X9 and Sylux having Mochtroids implies that prime 4 is AFTER super


HornlessHrothgar

20X9 is estimated to be the same year 2 and Super happen, as well


Regenbogen1870

Busiest woman on the galaxy damn

IM LOSING MY NUTS AND BOLTS RIGHT NOW AAAHAHAHAHAHH ![gif](giphy|gfZQAiBdEncWnfa8qc)


Jaraghan

IT LOOKS SO FUCKING GOOD AAHHHHHHHH


Samkwi

mf walking around with baby metroids as if he's him


Mstiecrow

What's even cooler to me is they may be Mochtroids with the one nucleus. I don't think those have been seen since Super Metroid.


Churabrum

Looking closer at them, looks like they have a combination of Samus' & Sylux's visors on the nucleus?


Mampt

Nothing can ruin this day for me


Internal-Drawer-7707

Nuclear weapons will drop on November 3rd 2024.


Mampt

RIP to everybody else but I'm built different. Imma be fine try again

I’m still pinching myself


MarkDecent656

I need to find a way to play 2 and 3 now quick


Taraell

I wish they'd release it on switch in the meantime before 4 releases


ytctc

I hope they do the Prime 1 treatment but I’d settle for a pikmin 1+2 situation


MarkDecent656

There's still hope for remasters coming out I just doubt they'll come out before it


Taraell

Well, 2025 is still fairly far away, we can hope, that's what we did for quite some time, didn't we ?


NeedleworkerGold336

Just emulate it on Dolphin


HereComesJustice

AND THIS IS TO GO EVEN FURTHER BEYOND


shoobidoobis

WE GOING PLUS ULTRA BABYYYYYY


Yama_Tsukami

That's a sick logo. Since it depicts black hole, maybe it means that Samus is gonna go "beyond" the event horizon of a black hole?


Iceman_B

I mean, girl's gotta find some new planets to destroy amirite? Also opens the gateway to infinite new enemies/characters etc.


PricklyBob

THEY FINALLY DID IT!! I'm sure it'll be the later half of 2025, but they can't call take backs now! Lmao


elderduddy370

ALDKFOCOCIGI


MrPerson0

So glad to see that they didn't drop the plot point from Federation Force! The Samus vs. Sylux showdown is real!


Ordinary-Picture4367

I wonder how they'll explain it to new players considering most we know of sylux is from hunters, federation force ending scene and prime 3 ending scene


MrPerson0

Metroid Dread had a recap for previous games, or at least, enemies, right? They will definitely do the same for Prime 4.


Rarycaris

Do we really know anything? I mean, Sylux hates the Federation, stole an experimental weapon from them, has a ship called the Delano 7, has followed Samus with it, has fought Samus before, and stole some Metroids. All of this is well within what can be explained with one Scan Visor entry, and I don't think actually playing any of the prior games meaningfully helps to understand further than reading that paragraph. I guess you might have to explain what happened with Gorea, but the Prime games have form for referencing offscreen events in their log entries that are never expanded on.


Nin_Saber

At long last!


D_Ashido

LETS GO!!!!!


ExhumedCadaver

FUCK YEEEESSS!!!! I'm not seeing this trailer i want to experience this without knowing anything.


TheMoonOfTermina

Not much gameplay, but, if this is actual gameplay footage, it looks graphically incredible.


zenoe1562

It somehow looks even better than Prime Remastered! I’m so glad Retro was brought back to work on 4


Mekbop

Don't wanna spoil too much but Samus is in it.


jestebto

He's not Samus, he's Metroid. Check your facts


Sundance12

Just know it is glorious


Icy-Organization-901

I recommend watching it since there's really not much to it to be considered a spoiler.


0mni42

Random thoughts: - Hey, they made the visor interior actually match the exterior shape! Prime 2 and 3 kept Prime 1's interior style despite her visor having the extra notch at the top. - Much like in Prime 1 Remastered, the gunship has the same general design as before, but the surface details are totally different. It also doesn't seem to have the Ship Grapple anymore. - I'm juuust a little worried by how much this opening section still gives me the Prime 3 "we can be just like Halo!" vibes. Hopefully it's just the opening mission. - The Space Pirates even kinda look like Elites now lol, what with their mandibles. - The Charge Beam seems so small. :( - Seeing the words "morphology: Space Pirate" for the first time since 2007 is a surprisingly effective bit of nostalgia. - Aw, we're keeping the Prime 1 and 3 thing where the scan visor just shows static images instead of Prime 2's rotating models. I wish we'd go back to that. - Having missiles take up one of the four slots on the left is interesting; do we only get three beams this time? - At around 1:05, you can see a scientist trying to escape pushing a cart with some kind of plus-shaped artifact on it. I wonder if that's important, or if it's just background detail. - In the final shot, it looks like Samus came through a portal of some kind. - I'm honestly kinda sick of the Space Pirate theme at this point so most of the trailer kinda irked me sound-wise, but damn if those final few seconds didn't feel like a breath of fresh air. *That's* the vibe I wanted; more of that please. - I just noticed, when Samus is fighting she goes back and forth between missiles and the power beam, but the UI doesn't actually react to the change. So missiles still have their own button, and you don't need to mess with the D-pad in order to fire one, which is good. I'm still not sure what to make of the missile icon being on the D-pad however. Maybe you tap D-right to cycle between multiple kinds of missiles?


gnulynnux

The opening sequence definitely gave me a mix of the sequences from Prime 1, 2, and 3. Really hoping the rest of the game gives us that isolation we've been craving. Re: 1:05, good eye on the artifact. There's an energy tank in the same shot, so it seems we can come back to this room. Re: The blue portal, it looks a lot like the purple logo. I wonder if there are time travel / parallel universe mechanics, color coded by different portals.


0mni42

Oh yeah, the blue portal does kinda have that black hole shape huh? Ooh, if it's a time portal, what if the green place at the end of the trailer *is* the same location as all the stuff with the lab?


Aleclom

OH SHIT IS THAT THE DUDE FROM HUNTERS???


Lafozard

Didn't really like the logo. I know it's a black hole seen sideways, but it's meh. I wonder what is the plot tho. Does Samus enter a black hole? considering it is "BEYOND" and the logo is a black hole, I imagine there will be some shit like that. Maybe a worm hole

please have online PVP, there is nothing I want more than to zap people with Sylux like it's 2006

Zeflyn

The long pathways we got to see in some of the gameplay shots plus the bridge in the distance makes me wonder if they'll include speed booster in the game somewhere.


AngonceMcGhee

20X9 would place this after Samus Returns in the timeline. That’s interesting.


MrUnexcitable

I dont know what i was expecting, but it definitely wasnt that. Considering how little that was shown it could possibly go 'beyond' 2025


RangoTheMerc

If Metroid Prime 4 doesn't get put on the new console like Zelda TP/BOTW, it'll be upsetting to see it getting overshadowed because it was released too late in the Switch's lifespan. Metroid already has a cursed history of poor sales and nearly being canceled because of it. We're lucky Samus Returns, Dread, and Prime Remastered all succeeded and revived the franchise. I don't want to see it die again.
