“Nintendo always strives for the highest quality in our games, and in the development phase we challenge ourselves and confront whether the game is living up to that quality on a daily basis. “Ever since the announcement, we have not been able to give you an update, but as a result of the continuing development since that time – although this is very regrettable – we must let you know that the current development progress has not reached the standards we seek in a sequel to the Metroid Prime series,” Takahashi said in 2019. The main reason for this became clear in 2019, when Nintendo’s senior managing executive officer Shinya Takahashi revealed that the game had essentially been started all over again. Since then, however, nothing more has been seen of the game. All that was revealed was a 43-second animation showing outer space and a ‘4’ symbol appearing, along with a message reading “Metroid Prime 4 now in development for “.

Development was started again from scratch in 2019… presentation on June 13, 2017.
