The Next Proper Metroid Prime “Would Likely now be on Nintendo’s NX” says Kensuke Tanabe
**Editor’s Note**PLEASE do not shoot the messenger on this article. I’m simply quoting what Metroid Prime producer Kensuke Tanabe said about Metroid Prime and the Nintendo NX.
Metroid Prime producer Kensuke Tanabe had an interesting interview with Eurogamer recently. Tanabe said the next Metroid game will likely come to the NX, in addition to referring to the NX as a “console”. You can read Tanabe’s words below.
“If we started for Wii U now, it would likely take three years or so. So it would likely now be on Nintendo’s NX console,” he said.
“It’s a long time but it would need to include a lot of content, which would take a lot of work on the development side.”
When asked about why Metroid has not come to the Wii U to take advantage of the GamePad, Tanabe had this to say:
“It is a great idea, I agree. Truth be told, making HD games takes a lot of time and resources,” Tanabe concluded when asked why Nintendo had not made a Metroid Prime for Wii U. “I haven’t been able to collect a team or the resources to do it.”
I suggest reading the full write up here, Tanabe has a bunch of great ideas for Metroid Prime. And he also goes into a little bit more detail on the status of Metroid.
