This would have been the equivalent of Star Fox Assault, a multiplayer focused game with a campaign that was just an afterthought instead, echoes ended up being the complete opposite

I love Nintendo but idk why they'te genuinely allergic to story-driven games that aren't really simplistic and family multiplayer focused

Metriod prime is the biggest IP fumble in Nintendo history. I can’t believe Prime 4 isn’t going to have an online multiplayer as a modern day release to sell their latest console. It hurts my soul

A multiplayer thing could be fun but I'm happy that they were able to convince them to do another entry in the series instead

Good, Metroid is at it's best when its single player
Replying to @GoNintendoTweet
Thank goodness. A side game with something like that is fine but Retro was smart to stay traditional.
Replying to @GoNintendoTweet
Honestly with a little polish Federation Force could be super fun on Switch 2 with Gamechat.

A multiplayer mode be cool but if it was multiplayer focused I’d have zero interest in it.

Glad I don't live in that timeline.

The goats. Prime 2 is the best game in the franchise so obviously it was the correct decision

Metroid is not a FPS and it’s not a multiplayer game.

@RetroStudios please make metroud prime 2 echoes and metroid prime 3 corruption for switch oled too. Not just switch 2 quite unfair. Be long long time before i can buy switch 2 sealed for cheaper price.
