Samus is coming back. The E3 2017 Nintendo Direct revealed that Metroid Prime 4 is now in development for Nintendo Switch and… nothing else. No release date, no developer. No sign of whether it will rethink the Metroid franchise or just continue it after an extended break. But just the simple fact that another proper Metroid game is coming was enough to set the internet howling.
