UPDATE: Metroid Prime 4 is coming to Nintendo Switch, not developed by Retro

Not to be outdone by yesterday’s news that Beyond Good And Evil 2 is finally happening, Nintendo has just dropped its own crazy longshot of an announcement: Metroid Prime 4 is in development for the Switch. No release date or even footage of the game was shown during Nintendo’s E3 broadcast, but the confirmation comes as a huge relief to Metroid fans who’ve been asking for a new game in the series ever since the Wii’s Metroid: Other M turned out to be a massive disappointment.
