More possible information regarding the long-awaited Metroid Prime 4 on the Nintendo Switch has surfaced. The game could feature an online component according to a LinkedIn page from one of the developers. It wouldn’t be too far-fetched to imagine that the game will have some form of online multiplayer in this day and age, but we shall have to wait and see.
Rumour: Metroid Prime 4 Could Have Online Multiplayer According To LinkedIn Evidence

Maybe you should be someone other than Hux. He got made such a fool of with the banter with Poe in that scene. lol That is the scene on the bridge when he’s having a back and forth with Poe, isn’t it?
||I am not Hux and what happened in that realm is irrelevant…||
That made me laugh more than I should have.
“One of the multiplayer modes will be Blast Ball. Enjoy knocking Samus around from field goal to field goal!”
Is that a comment from someone from youtube or another site?
No. A quote I made up from Tanabe introducing Blast Ball to MP4 multiplayer.
It truly was a mistake to make FF and putting that minigame which only made things worse than what they already were in 2015.
This would be ace, but let’s just concentrate on a deep immersive single player adventure and then dlc multiplayer. ( this is more likely because it would make more money for the title.)
If it’s anything like the multiplayer from Metroid Prime Hunters, then i’ll bite it… But I hope it’s not like the Metroid Prime 2 echoes multiplayer
Metroid doesn’t really need multiplayer but as long as it doesn’t detract from the main single player experience I don’t mind. This could just be some sort of high score leaderboards though
100%. People always say that MP2’s multiplayer was a huge mistake. Yeah, it wasn’t good, but just play singleplayer then…
||It was as useless as the human appendix and only took away time to improve my world…||
Despite the fact these are only rumors but I think putting the online matchs on MP4 will make the game sells even more. Just think about MK8DX
If they have another development group working on the multiplayer (hope it’s not barebones like Prime 2 but more like Hunters), then I’m sure it’ll be okay.
Since the Metroid Prime series main focus is single player story mode, this is nothing to worry about.
||There is always something to be concerned about, whether it is temporary or eternal…||
Yes, I know what you mean. After the E3 of 2015 giving the biggest deception of this decade, it is natural to have some concerns.
Some? For me, E3 2015 has made me have more than some. Most of the time I spend thinking about Nintendo is full of nothing but concerns. :/ No faith or trust in them whatsoever, anymore.
Reply to Infinite Kalas X3: I see your point, I admit that a lot of nintendo fans have lost their trust in Nintendo after so many mistakes that they made in the past. Hopefully the Switch and Metroid Samus Returns are signs that they are returning to the way they once were.
I’m not sure about this. All I’m concerned about is the single player. I want it to be a damn good one? If we want multiplayer in Metroid Prime, just completely remaster Hunters with Prime 1-3 before Prime 4. I swear to God if it’s that fucking Blast Ball shit again…
But I want to play Metroid Fifa! …said no one ever.
That’s why that piece of chibi shit Federation Force flopped harder than Magikarp using Splash. lol
Also, that’s what Rocket League is for. Even Halo 4 did it better.
You forgot to put “But FF was good” in the say no one ever.
Actually, some fools have said it was a good game. :/
True. I forgot that, but they are will never be metroid fans to me.
I wouldn’t go that far. Some of them are still fans. They are just very… misguided.
Yes, Its truly sad that they couldn’t see that if FF become a hit, we may have never had a good Metroid game Like Samus Returns and Prime 4. By the way the Nintendo video of FF now has 91k dislikes XD
Really? I heard Nintendo disabled the Like/Dislike feature for the video. Must have reactivated it. Or that was for another youtube video of the game.
Actually it’s the same video of Nintendo when they announced FF for the first time. It seems they reactivated it XD
Metroid Prime hunters had only one good thing going for it, that was the online multiplayer. Tbf I would wholly welcome a decent online like in hunters, cause the story will finish in 4 at some point and I love my replay value.
Actually, make it TWO good things for it. If it wasn’t for Hunters introducing Sylux, Prime 4 wouldn’t be possible so there’s that.
Yes. This sounds very legit. I believe something that gets underestimated is the fact that Nintendo will have a paid online service sometimes this year and needs as much content as possible for that. So expect more stuff like this happening and maybe a quite big focus on online at the upcoming E3.
As long as it doesn’t impact the single player, great.
Prime 2’s version didn’t impact the game either so I’m not too worried.
||Actually it did, they complained that there was not enough time to make my world as diverse as they intended to, a big part was due to them wasting their time with that useless feature and then the idiotic deadline they had…||
Funny. The game felt big enough and remarkably worked as intended for only 2 years of development. I guess it’s because of the “bleak” design that’s lacking diversity, people complained about it but isn’t that the point of the game located on a planet that just got impacted by the Phazon meteor and then split into two dimensional rifts? Of course the planet is suppose to look damaged and near lifeless since the Ing (your dark buddies that got wrecked to shit by my favorite Samus Aran) we’re wasting everything. I could care less about the multiplayer and that’s the thing. It’s just another mode that didn’t cause any harm or foul on Prime 2. What did bother me about Prime 2 was the ammo system for Beams..ammo for energy weapons…what the fuck? Also, FUCK THE BOOST AND SPIDER GUARDIANS TO HELL!
||The creators themselves stated what I said about they not realising their full potential on my old world, but obviously the weapon is great enough, thanks mostly due to my superior presence…||
||Then you are going to have a field trip once we unleash our Warp Guardians, Screw Attack Guardians and Aeion Guardians…||
Well, despite what gripe you have on them making Prime 2, you should thank them for making you THE best Metroid boss ever. XP It’s been an honor admiring your Spider-Slayer design and kick you ass for one of the most ambitious power ups around.
Warp Guardian? The fuck? Screw Attack? More like “I’ll screw you”. lol Aieon Guardians? Oh great, more stupid gimmicks to deal with. XP
||I am, in the same interview they stated that me and my Ing Hive (Dark Sanctuary Fortress) was the one area they managed to create as they intended to…||
||Yes, we will soon have Dark Hunter Metroids, Dark Fission Metroids and possibly Dark Kriken Bountry Hunters once we find their worlds…||
I figure you’d say that. lol
How when the Dark Dimension collapsed? Unless..it was only Dark Aether…but not the rest.
||There is no such thing as a dimensional collapse, our home-world did collapse though due to it missing its planetary core energy…||
||But we Ing have taken over an entire galaxy in our dimension, there is no end to darkness, ever…||
Except you and the Ing have no other way to transcend through with your primitive ways. Plus, Phazon is destroyed so that puts you depressed Inglings shit out of luck.
||We can manipulate and distort realities in any dimension at will naturally, we can phase out of dimensions temporary, we can also manipulate the energies in any universe or dimension and focus them into high intensity beams, we completely take over any life-form on a quantum level and even improve their traits if worthy and also switch between solid, dark gas and semi-liquid forms…||
||There are no life-forms in any universe capable of such things, even the X-Parasites are weak compared to us, although the Light technology the Luminoth created was very effective I must say…||
Also, “a galaxy”? Not other galaxies or even the universe? Sad. lol
||We have done so without any help or ally, we are supreme beings…||
Psh. Ridley #1! Quadraxis is #2.
Wrong. #1 Omega Pirate and #2 Quadraxis. Ridley is so Monday. lol
Psh. Omega Pirate is a giant pushover, much like the BotW Lynels. I kick all they asses with ease. Ridley, on the other hand, still gives me trouble on occasion.
You must’ve played on easy mode. lol He’s one of the few bosses that actually killed me on Hyper Mode which isn’t easy to do against me in general since I’m a seasoned Metroid player. Meta Ridley in Prime 1 on Hyper Mode is a bitch. Fucker needs to stop charging at me like an ass.
Oh yeah; I remember now. MNN posted an article about that some time ago.

Can we get online multiplayer like in Hunters?
It should be online considering that Hunter’s shining aspect is the multiplayer itself.

a multiplayer like the goldeneye from n64, haha,and a full and deep main, single player, story mode.
That would be awesome! It would work perfectly. Even something similar to Timesplitters with not would be good.
If it has any online shit and multiplayer then the the game is already ruined :( my fave franchise will be fucked over

Bring on MPH2. I would play that shit.
If this game has Hunters level of multiplayer, then it might cause the single player to be lacking. I’d get a smaller studio to work on the multiplayer aspect so that the crappy, unskilled developers at Bandai can focus all their attention to making a good single player experience.

I mean I didn’t mind playing the Metroid Prime 2 Echos multiplayer with my friends and family, it was acutally pretty fun and creative. It was awesome to see who was able to control Samus the best. And knowing that aiming isnt an issue since its lock on. It will technically be based off of movement and finger trigger.
