I don't have anything substantial to prove this idea, mainly just vibes from the last trailer.
I think the rivalry between Samus and Sylux will unfold in the span of a trilogy and Samus' adventure on Viewros will be only the beginning.
How likely do you think is that Retro Studios and Nintendo made this not as a standalone but already thinking of a trilogy?
The rumor is that Metroid Prime 2 and 3 are going to get straightforward ports on Switch, not remastered. Which is fine by me cuz I just want an excuse to play those games again.
For me it would the ability to absorb an enemy thanks to new "Metroid power" acquired in Dread. Maybe after you parry an enemy or after locking it with the grapple beam. It would expand on the melee combat and be awesome.
I don't even know if the admin would allow that, but do you think if could be worth it to let the subreddit know there is an alternative in the fediverse?
No mainline games, no Prime games, not even remakes or reboots of older games. A completely new Metroid spin-off. It could have the same gameplay with different characters and location or we could see Samus in a whole different game. Pinball demonstrates that the possibilities are endless.
