I wonder if this is like when there were no plans for a new 3DS model like 2 weeks before they announced the new 2ds xl

Hd remaster of prime 2 just like they did with prime 1 would be nice

They always say this when they aren’t ready to announce something.
It basically means nothing.

this means nothing. Nintendo would never say something is announced until they do the official announcing.

Not planned for release, they’re not saying it’s not planned or not in development

I hope metroid prime 2 gets remade. I need that after metroid prime 4

I mean, did IGN expected to get a confirmation?
If these games are coming, they gonna announce on a YouTube video or on a Direct… not to a gaming outlet.

I would remind everyone that Reggie Fils-Aime once said there were “no plans” for future 3DS hardware revisions… the day before the New 3DS was announced.

I still don’t get why Metroid Prime 2 wasn’t added to NSO around the time Prime 4 came out, would have been a perfect time to do it.

It’s obvious that the leaks are true because Walmart didn’t create its own marketing materials, but it’s a matter of when they finally put the titles out. I think they’re ready but they’ll put them out on a rainy day.

I gave up on NSO GameCube app. Sold my NSO GC controller and got a nyx warrior. The time it takes them to drop a game on the app I already played it plus 10 more. Totally not worth it at all.
