Despite the critical acclaim surrounding Metroid Prime Remastered and the imminent release of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, there has been no mention whatsoever of the two games released between them being remastered for, or even ported to, modern consoles. However, a Metroid Prime 2 namedrop in a new book about the series has managed to both give fans hope and take away the last of it at the same time.
Metroid Prime 1-3: A Visual Retrospective will be released next week, but thanks to review copies already finding their way out into the wild, snippets from the book have been finding their way online. One of those snippets includes series producer Kensuke Tanabe name-dropping a Metroid Prime 2 remaster that may or may not actually exist (thanks, GoNintendo).
"The number of players who actually experienced it might not have been very large. If it is remade, I would be delighted for more people to have the chance to experience it," Tanabe said by way of Metroid Prime's new book. The producer was specifically referencing the sequel's multiplayer, noting that it was local only due to the limitations in place at the time.
The mere mention of a Metroid...
