To be fair, thats still at least partially true in this instance.
Among other things, it putsMetroid Prime 4in a position to be the perfect Switch swan song game.
Nintendo is working on a Switch successor, and that isno longer mere speculation.
While the details regarding that gadget remain unconfirmed, most reports agree on a few key points.
Perhaps more importantly, its all but confirmed that the next Nintendo console will be released in 2025.
Thats partially becauseMetroid Prime 4was first revealed in 2017: the same year that the Nintendo Switch launched.
The games apparent technical qualities may also prove to be a key part of its swan song status.
However, given how good theMetroid Primeremaster looked on Switch, I dont think thats the case.
What more can a final game (and potential first game) do from a technical standpoint?
More importantly, there is something poetic about aMetroidtitle potentially being the last major Switch game.
Thats especially true of the consoles numerous Wii U ports.
Titles likeMario Kart 8could have been left for dead on one of Nintendos worst consoles.
For that matter, theMetroid Primeremaster barely cracked the million sales mark.
