Nintendo to hit the reset button on Metroid Prime 4

null


Nintendo announced some disappointing news this morning: it will completely restart development on Metroid Prime 4 this month after the current version of the game “failed to meet its expectations”. 
The news came by way of YouTube and Nintendo’s Senior Managing Executive Officer Shinya Takahashi who announced that development duties would transfer from an internal development team led by Kensuke Tanabe to Retro Studios, the developers of the original Metroid Prime Trilogy games.

?So..when can we play it

How soon are we likely to see the next entry in the Metroid Prime series? Unfortunately, neither Nintendo nor Takahashi gave an accurate release window for the game, only saying that “development time will be extensive” - in other words, sometime after 2020.
While it’s disappointing news for fans of the series, Nintendo’s transparency into the situation should be appreciated - knowing that a game is being delayed for another few years is better than waiting with bated breath for the next big update. 
The silver lining in all this is that Nintendo is heeding Shigeru Miyamoto's sage advice: "A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever.”

Our Verdict:

☆☆☆☆☆
The Nintendo Switch is one-part handheld and one-part home console, and hopes to be the only device you'll ever need for gaming, wherever you are. The hybrid console is an undeniable success, offering up an exceptional level of handheld graphical quality, while seamlessly transitioning into a home console – though this very adaptability has required compromises on power and functionality compared to the dedicated consoles and handhelds that came before it.
 FOR
  • Unique hybrid design
  • HD Rumble
  • Two controllers included
  • Bright, crisp, colorful screen
 AGAINST
  • Joy-Cons charge only on console without accessory
  • Split D-pad
  • Oddly placed right analogue stick
  • Limited online service at launch

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we
