The rumor is that Metroid Prime 2 and 3 are going to get straightforward ports on Switch, not remastered. Which is fine by me cuz I just want an excuse to play those games again.

When do you guys think the ports will be announced? I’m no marketing strategist, but I feel like it would be important to release the games while Metroid Prime Remastered is still relevant and people still have the game fresh in their minds. So I feel like now would be a good time to release them. Unless they’re planning on waiting until MP4 is revealed, in which case we’re going to be waiting a while.

With Nintendo deliberately sitting on MP1R for so long (it was finished before Dread), I can see these other two ports not coming out until next year, and considering they are not as popular as the first one, Id hope they will do some kind of promotion to ensure they sell well too, like they are doing with the Pikmin games.

Maybe they’ll do what they did with Pikmin, releasing 2+3 not so long before 4. I don’t know but I also think it’s less likely that they will remaster them like they did with 1

Soon I hope. Prime 2, in my opinion, is the best looking gamecube game ever. I remember not thinking ps3 and 360 were impressive because they didn’t really look better than prime 2 did. So seeing prime 2 remastered would probably blow my mind.

I agree, definitely the best graphics on the Gamecube.

Are they going to be motion control only or will the do the reverse and add the regular controls from 1 gc version to 2 and 3?

I’m sure MP2 will have regular controls, but I’m not sure what they’ll do for MP3. MP3 has a reliance on cursor aiming and motion controls, so I wonder if they’ll have to make changes to the game itself to make it feel good with regular controls.
