One thing to point out about the timeline years is that 20X5 is Metroid/Zero Mission, but Metroid Prime takes place 3 years after. 20X6 is when Federation Force takes place and states that "several years" have passed since the events of Prime 3. The years 20X5 and 20X6 are described as "cosmic years" which could differ from an earth year. A cosmic year may be a couple of years in length each. A bit of an oxymoron, but makes sense when you are trying to date the cosmos's revolution (if it has one?) compared to earths single revolution around the sun.

It's crazy that prime 4 is the best of a decade old tech. Can't wait to see what the follow up to Switch will give us

I would love to see a segment of the game where you play from inside your gunship engaged in a space battle against pirate fighter ships and maybe an objective could be to take out a pirate mothership to stop the invasion. Either way, this game will be SENSATIONAL.

Does anyone think between now and the release of Prime 4, Nintendo will drop Prime 2 and 3 on Switch? Like if Prime 4 comes out end of 2025, they can release 2 and 3 in the middle of 2025. What do you guys think?🤷🏽‍♂️

I think one of the things that really stood out to me was that they’re reusing some audio assets from the trilogy. Not only does it still look like Metroid Prime, but it’s still sounds like it too. I was a bit worried that this game would lose some of its identity with such a long absences, but that fear has been completely put to rest. It really does feel like we’re back. Modern era Metroid Prime is such a cool concept, and it feels like there’s more eyes on the series than ever before.

it would definitely be odd to have prime 4 after dread, given the evolution of samus' suits. but who knows. maybe she figures it out and gets the original varia suit back.

The real questions now are: Are the leaks for a staggered release for prime 2 and 3 port leading up to prime 4 still on the table? Will prime 2 be a port or remaster like prime 1? And there are no questions about prime 4s quality… it’s so there. Unbelievable incredible and breathtaking. Like a dream to see that trailer

I am confident that Sylux stole that Metroid, and we thought Metroid were done, BUT he always HAD this and was waiting for things to unfold to battle Samus!

Nintendo 100% care about metroid 4 to change studios and go with retro , I think that speaks volumes.

Youre one of the first people I thought of seeing the trailer. What a time rob

Im not going to jump to this trailer just yet, so far doesnt look great but hopefully more trailers will allow me to chanhe my opinion.

Doesn’t make sense for it to come after Dread. Her suit is totally different and the Metroid DNA alters her suit because it’s part of her DNA

Im guessing the game takes place in between Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion

I hope Prime 4 is set at the end of the timeline for simplicity’s sake. Those of us who are huge fans of the franchise can keep track of the timeline without issue, but I want this to also be easy to follow for newer players as well.

I am ok with MP4 taking place in 1 world like in MP1. However, Nintendo has always 1-upped themselves with every new game. What i expect is multiple worlds, twice the size of MP3's worlds but instead of a cinematic after taking lift off, we control the take off, the flying thru the Galaxy and landing. But more than that, i expect spaceship battles! Nintendo has the Star Fox team and this could be done. Imagine taking off and on the way to the next world you get a distress signal from a Galactic Federation Battleship that is mid fight with Space Pirates. Now imagine landing on those Battleships, G.F. Valhalla anyone?

I'm really happy you and AndresRestart finally got some big Metroid Prime 4 news.

It’s why you are a true gamer that you do this more for the game than the channel 🙌🙌👍🏼😎

I think not a chance will it slip to 2026. They know they made a huge misstep by announcing it and then restarting production. They’re probably smart enough to realize how important it is to not drop the ball again with this game

There’s no way this takes place after dread. Not a chance.

I feel like the game is almost finished but from now till the release they want to clean things up for a switch 2 cross gen version and wait to release that with the of switch version in 25’

Never clicked so fast after seeing a Ruleof2Review video dropped

I think Nintendo is going to go zelda route with prime 4 and make it, it’s own timeline with time travel mechanics just like with OoT splitting the timeline. That way they can keep being original, with new primes. Tanabe did discuss his ideas for the next prime in 2017, it seems like he wanted to make 4 like prime 2. But to the point of where it affects the timeline. Tanabe himself, "Instead of broadening it to more planets I would have one and would focus on the timeline, and being able to change that.…. But I understand many people thought that Metroid Prime 2: Echoes was too difficult.”

Saw this on Twitter, but when we’re seeing that final shot showing the massive tree, pay close attention to Samus. I’m not sure if it’s a weird rendering thing, but her lights appear to be Purple in the stead of Green. Does this mean anything? Only time will tell.

17 years for a 2 hour game... I don't care. As long as it makes me happy.

Fusion takes place "several years" after Super. Dread is an unknown period of time after that. "Several" is more than two. So this game might take place in the large, undefined gap between Super and Fusion, and possibly even after Other M, but it's definitely before Fusion and Dread and not the latest in the timeline. Most likely though, this is just them retconning the timeline yet again. You put too much importance on story crossover from the Prime games and the main series. The Prime games have a self-contained story and they don't really get referenced in the main games at all. There's no reason for this to be the last game in the timeline, it wouldn't enhance the story in any way, Metroid games don't put importance on story anyway. Going "back in time" doesn't negatively impact this game any more than it did for Prime 2 and 3. Which also had no tie-in to the main 2D storyline.

Thanks mate, you nailed it: what a time to be a Metroid fan! By the way, if my math is correct, Switch is the console with more Metroid titles availabe for playing, right?

Been waiting a long time for this. Cant wait for what’s next

Never Played Metroid Prime Series, How do I Prepare? Seems like a good start for metroid prime remastered.

great to see your reaction to Metroid Prime 4 finally being shown. I'm really glad we will finally get to see more of this game.

i just noticed the trailer at the end, Samus comes out of a portal, so this game might play like Prime 2 where you jump between present day and past day versions of the same planet instead of jumping between light and dark worlds, or they just do two parallel worlds again in a different way The logo kind of is a portal a little bit too and goes with the name Beyond. (seeing) Beyond (the portal)?

Music is dope, as always. Graphics are not the main selling point of the game - but I _really_ wanna see some innovations gameplay-wise! The combat doesn’t look innovative at all so far.. I _hope_ there is some serious pushing boundaries because if it‘s just more Metroid Prime it‘s gonna be seriously underwhelming..

What an underwhelming trailer. As a metroid fan I have hope but wow that definitley is going to rub people into skipping the game. Let’s hope the next trailer has a hook and doesn’t just feel like it’s Metroid Prime 1 remastered again.

the last clip isnt really that large, the whole background is a large matte painting, the actual play space is no bigger than anything in prime 1. saying that i dont see doors so maybe there will be larger spaces divided up somehow. I do think the logo and that portal in the forest area hints at some kind of light world/dark world.

SO EXCITED!!

A part of me hopes you're right about the 20X9 thing. Beyond the events of metroid dread

Dude I've been waiting for this video I can't wait to watch

I subbed this channel solely on your love of Metroid. That and you also loved 3000th Duel. Its hard to see this past Dread since there are two Metroids in the trailer, and the only Metroid left is actually Samus.

I think it has to be between Fed Force and 2 in the timeline, the ship is the one seen in Prime 3 and Fed Force during Samus’ cameo. Also the suit is the one seen in Prime trilogy and shows no sign of any cosmetic changes like in Fusion and Dread. Not to mention Sylux returning with stolen Metroids (which seem to be Mochtroids despite him stealing a Metroid at the end of Fed Force) would be a perfect setup for Metroid 2, giving the galactic federation that final push to exterminate them all.

Maybe it takes place after Super but before Fusion? Does that make sense?

There appears to be a charge meter above Samus health indicator if so I'm hopeful of charging power bombs other M style. Loved that.

So my first theories are obviously what we saw at the beggining is the opening segment of the game, just as Norion, Space Pirates want something within this Galactic Federation research station, my theory is Ridley is definetly dead just as Mother Brain and Dark Samus so Sylux is their new main leader who wants whatever artifact lies in this research station and at the end they get it and leave Samus injured or defeated (thats how she looses her abilities) Sylux also controls Mochtroids because he hasn't been able to clone the Metroid he stole at the end of Federation Force, the name “Beyond” I think will be the main mechanic of the game where there will be portals similar to MP2 but this time they will send us to the past or the future (where we could see phazon) and this could be the key to bring back the Metroid Prime to life

Seeing that there is an open overworld is exciting. I'm sure that most of the game takes place in close quarters underground and inside buildings, combining the best of both worlds. I imagine that exploration will be similar to Tears of the Kingdom, but with more linear underground exploration.

I felt like it would have been titled Super Metroid Prime. That is what it feels like. Like a Super evolution of the Prime series.

Man Retro Studios just does not play when they make games. Beyond looks incredible.

1 more year and our lives will be completed.

I’m really glad they showed off the planet at the end. I think prime 1 had the best atmosphere with all the different biomes / types of areas. I’m really hopeful prime 4 will have a lot of different types of environments because the Retro environment designs are amazing

On the Dark Samus and “convoluted boss” I generally explain it as: “ in the MP trilogy, the the bad guy is a sentient substance called Phazon, in MP1 it infects a Metroid making it the Metroid Prime, which removes Samus PHAZON SUIT and then wear it. After that in MP2 it starts to infect and corrupt people all over the place, taking the appearance of Dark Samus (from the Phazon Suit) and controlling other things. But it’s always Phazon, heck, the ending of MP3 is literally on a Phazon planet.” Or something like that 😂

For 7 years, you milked the crap out of prime 4.

Vara suit would look way different if it took place after fusion or dread because of the X parasite. this would take place before those games, and dread is currently at the end of the timeline.

Samus is a balance of human, Chozo, Metroid, X-Parasite dna. Probably technology and some level of AI as well. Why not Phazon matter as well making her Metroid Prime by the end?
