Metroid Prime 4 Shows Just How Nintendo Is Different From Xbox & PlayStation

For over a decade, Retro Studios has experienced a significant dry spell in terms of game releases. Following the launch of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze on Wii U in 2014, there have been few, if any, new projects from the developer. It is rumored that the team spent several years working on an unannounced music-based RPG, but according to podcaster Reese “Kiwi Talkz” Reilly, this game turned out to be a major failure, leading Nintendo to ultimately cancel it. Similar challenges were encountered with Metroid Prime 4, initially in development at another studio, prompting Nintendo to restart the project from scratch in 2019, with Retro Studios once again taking charge.
