April 25, 2003 - IGNcube today learned that the GameCube sequel to Metroid Prime will be unveiled for the first time at the Electronics Entertainment Expo 2003, which begins May 14 in Los Angeles. Sources allege that the title will not be playable, but instead on display via a short video teaser clip shown by Nintendo.
Metroid Prime, last year's 3D first-person action-adventure, was hailed as one of the best games this generation by critics and went on to sell more than one million units worldwide. The title starred long-time franchise heroine Samus Aran, decked out in full body suit, and traveled her through an immense planet populated by dangerous alien entities. The game, though updated to use a first-person view, successfully retained the classic explorative feel of the series.
Developer Retro Studios has allegedly been pumping away on the sequel for several months. Insiders indicate that Nintendo originally hoped to release the follow-up later this year, but under reconsideration a 2004 date has been penciled in.
We contacted Nintendo of America for official comment, but the company did not return our phone calls for publish.
A place to debate everything and anything!
