Many of you will be wondering exactly where the recently released Metroid Prime 4 fits in the series timeline and thankfully Nintendo has told Famitsu the answer. Metroid Prime 4 is set after Super Metroid and before Metroid Fusion. Due to Samus ending up in another dimension in Metroid Prime 4, Nintendo says it “wanted to be able to create a free and original setting for Metroid Prime without affecting the 2D Metroid series.”
Thanks to Greatsong1 for sending in the news tip!
Rip metroid series. flop game
Stay off drugs.
Thanks for your opinion.
It probably is though. 2D Metroid might be ok but Prime series probably done
I agree with you….this user just shifts his name constantly. He’s a known troll. Sometimes he’s right though. Wish he would just stick with one username and layoff the insults.
Just give me Metroid Prime 2 Remaster. Mich better game.
This game will never be as good as Super Metroid.
It seems like they do care about the lore after all. What about the Mario franchise?
I didn’t expect it to fall between Super and Fusion. I’m actually not that far into the game yet (I’m usually very busy around the holidays) so I’m wondering if the game explains/someone in the game points out how Sylux has Metroids when, as of Super, they’re supposed to be extinct and this is before we as the players are supposed to know that the Federation is illegally cloning them. I know WE know how Sylux could have Metroids because of the secret ending from Federation Farce, but not the characters in the game’s universe.
I am about half way through the game and it is so much fun. The story has me hooked. I can’t wait for the next Metroid game.
This game has to fall before metroid 2, otherwise the quick succession of 2, Super and fusion doesnt make sense. after super there is only 1 metroid left, which is cloned by the federation in the setup for fusion.
This makes no sense. Metroids are extinct (since this is after Metroid 2), yet there are NOW suddently a few??
I hate when Nintendo says things like this, because people will take it as Cannon. This can not take place after Super. They have been doing similar things with the Zelda Timeline. Metroid Has been the only Nintendo franchise with a consistent timeline. Guess thats out the window.
The answer to the question: why does Sylux possess Metroids? is given in the game, so before saying just anything here..
