During the Nintendo Direct on March 27, a thrilling new Metroid game was announced, sparking excitement among fans. The game will be the latest entry in the Metroid series, featuring a first-person shooter (FPS) experience that you won’t want to miss. This comes after the highly successful remaster of the first Metroid Prime in 2023, which was released for the Nintendo Switch, allowing new players and nostalgic fans alike to experience the original game with updated graphics.

The gameplay shown during the Direct revealed stunning mechanics and potential, though the visuals appeared slightly outdated, possibly indicating that the final release version will be further polished. While the game is scheduled for release later this year, it remains to be seen if the timeline will hold. Fans are hopeful as Nintendo seems to be hitting the mark with their FPS titles, continuing to build excitement for the series’ future.

In addition to the Metroid game announcement, Nintendo is gearing up for an even bigger reveal. On April 2, they will be unveiling their new console, the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2. With the promise of enhanced power and improved gaming experiences, this new console could provide the perfect platform for the upcoming Metroid game and other major titles.
