I will be a little bit quite miffed if I need a whole new console for Prime 4, tbh
I doubt they'll announce and release Prime 4 within the next 9 months. It would be a smart system seller for them.
But it's Nintendo. Who knows what they'll do.
Edit: that's all saying if these rumors are even true.
Unfortunately Metroid is not really a system seller for Nintendo. Is always Mario or Zelda
In the past maybe. Dread sold record numbers and the Prime remake was huge. If they can have all three series for launch that'd be right up their ally.
Dread sold 3 million copies. Mario Odyssey sold 25 million copies. BotW sold 31 million. MK8 sold 58 million copies (just the Switch version). Metroid is absolutely not a system seller, and they will not push it as such.
We'll see. It's Nintendo. They could say fuck it and use Kirby as the launch title lol
