#Metroid fusion nintendo switch series#
In 2017, the company announced its long-awaited next chapter in the first-person Metroid series that started its life on the Wii, and then subsequently confirmed in 2019 that development on the sequel was essentially restarting. It's worth mentioning here that at the start of the presentation, Nintendo said Sakamoto wouldn't be fielding any questions about Metroid Prime 4. "We want people to know that there is some kind of new episode that is waiting in the works, and we want you to look forward what we do with that next, but there are no specifics now." The adventures of Samus Aran will continue in some form after the release of Dread. Nintendo wants fans to understand what "end" really means in this context. But what this game represents is a bit of a pause, or a new start to something else." "The Metroid story until this point has dealt with Samus's strange fate that's been intertwined around this being called the Metroid," Sakamoto said, through a translator. Producer Yoshio Sakamoto, also one of the key creative figures at Nintendo behind the series as a whole, clarified what that actually means during a Wednesday presentation for press that delved deeper into the upcoming game. Anything else is either a remake (like Samus Returns for 3DS) or another timeline (like the Prime trilogy).ĭread is set to be the fifth game in what Nintendo has now confirmed is a five-part saga. Just to recap: The "main" Metroid games so far are Metroid, released for the NES in 1986 Metroid II: Return of Samus, the 1991 Game Boy game Super Metroid, for SNES, released in 1994 and Metroid Fusion, the 2002 Game Boy Advance title. There was intent behind that number: Dread will be the fifth mainline game in the series, and even though it's the series' first appearance on Switch it's also something of an ending for Metroid as we know it. The trailer Nintendo delivered during its June 2021 showcase briefly flashed "Metroid 5" on the screen before revealing the upcoming Switch game's true title. It's not clear what's next for Samus Aran, but Metroid Dread is an ending, not a beginning. Nintendo's first Metroid for Switch is meant to mark the end of an era
