Nintendo Switch

The **Nintendo 3DS**, colloquially known as simply the **3DS** (and known as the **iQue 3DS** in China), is a handheld video game console developed by Nintendo Research & Engineering as part of the video game market's eighth generation. First released on February 26, 2011, the Nintendo 3DS was released as a successor to the Nintendo DS. Its primary competition was the PlayStation Vita. In 2017, the Nintendo 3DS's successor, the Nintendo Switch, was released. A major feature of the console was the implementation of stereoscopic 3D, which is intended to improve immersion for most games on the system.

Though the Nintendo 3DS suffered from a weak launch and less popularity than its predecessor, largely attributed to a high initial price point, the Nintendo 3DS gradually grew in popularity. Though it was the poorest selling of Nintendo's mainline handheld consoles, it was still a commercial success, and it still outperformed its rival, the PlayStation Vita. Selling alongside Nintendo's eighth generation home console, the Wii U, the Nintendo 3DS was eventually discontinued in 2020, outlasting its companion in first-party support by three years and having an overall lifespan of nine years. The Nintendo 3DS' eShop will be shut down on March 27, 2023.

Alternative models, the Nintendo 3DS XL, Nintendo 2DS, New Nintendo 3DS, New Nintendo 3DS XL, and New Nintendo 2DS XL were released. The New Nintendo 3DS line has improved processing power and graphical capabilities, and a limited selection of exclusive games. The Nintendo 2DS and New Nintendo 2DS XL are budget options of the Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS, respectively, with the removal of three-dimensional functionality. All models of the Nintendo 3DS are capable of playing titles made for the Nintendo DS, and a limited number of DSiWare titles developed for the Nintendo DSi were made available on the Nintendo 3DS eShop as well.

The best-selling title in the series is the original *Metroid*, including sales from both the original Nintendo Entertainment System release, as well as its release on the Game Boy Advance and Virtual Console releases.

The main series of titles is developed by sub-studios of Nintendo, as well as independent studios such as Intelligent Systems and Mercury Steam. The *Metroid Prime* series is developed primarily by Retro Studios, though *Metroid Prime Hunters* was developed in-house by Nintendo, while *Metroid Prime Pinball* and *Metroid Prime: Federation Force* were developed by Fuse Games and Next Level Games, respectively. *Metroid: Other M* was co-developed by Team Ninja.

Nintendo GameCube

The **Nintendo 64**, also known as the **N64**, is a home video game console created by Nintendo during the fifth generation of video game consoles. First released on June 23, 1996 in Japan, the Nintendo 64 is Nintendo's first console to natively support 3D graphics, something that its predecessor, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, was only capable of in limited capacities via the Super FX chip included on the cartridges of certain titles. The console's name is derived from its 64-bit processing unit.

The console was critically and commercially successful upon release, launching with the titles *Super Mario 64* and *Pilotwings 64*. *Super Mario 64* would go on to become the system's best-selling title. Later major releases included *Mario Kart 64*, *The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time*, *Banjo-Kazooie**, *GoldenEye 007**, and *Super Smash Bros.* Despite the console's overall success, it was less powerful than its primary competitor, the PlayStation, as well as less commercially successful. The view of the Nintendo 64 as a "family system" also resulted in numerous more mature titles being developed for the PlayStation and Sega Saturn. A system exclusive to China, the iQue Player, was developed by Nintendo based on the Nintendo 64's hardware. It is capable of playing a select number of Nintendo 64 titles.

***Metroid Prime 4*** is an in-development title in the *Metroid* franchise, being developed by Retro Studios and set to be published at an unknown date by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. The title is the fourth primary entry in the *Metroid Prime* series, as well as the first entry following the initial trilogy.

## Development

Former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé stated in 2018 that development of *Prime 4* was proceeding well.

In January of 2019, Shinya Takahashi of Nintendo EPD spoke in a video stating that *Metroid Prime 4* was progressing less favorably than previously expressed, and that development would be restarted from scratch under the care of a different studio than the one developing the game prior. It was announced in the same video that the studio taking up development from that point would be series veteran Retro Studios, despite their previous lack of involvement with the title.

Since development restarted and Retro Studios took control of the project, numerous hirings took place, including that of Kyle Hefley as the game's lead art director. Hefley had previously worked on *Halo 4* and *Halo 5: Guardians* as a character artist.

The previous developer of *Metroid Prime 4* has not been confirmed by official sources; however, secondary sources had rumored that development was originally being handled by Bandai Namco Studios.

## Release

*Metroid Prime 4* was first announced on June 13, 2017, during Nintendo's E3 2017 Direct presentation. It was only revealed to be in development for Nintendo Switch, with no information on the developer given, save for that it would not be developed by the developer of the previous main entries of the *Prime* series, Retro Studios.

During Nintendo's E3 2021 Nintendo Direct livestream, Nintendo once again stated that they had no news to share regarding *Prime 4*. Following the statement, a new entry in the *Metroid* franchise's primary series, *Metroid Dread*, was announced.

### Successor

Xbox Series X/S

The **Xbox One** is a home video game console developed by Microsoft as part of the video game market's eighth generation. First released on November 22, 2013, the Xbox One was released as a successor to the Xbox 360. At launch, its primary competition were the PlayStation 4 and the Wii U.

Due to multiple controversial decisions made with the console at its launch, including a requirement to be connected to the internet at all times, a constant connection to the Kinect 2.0, and an incapability to play used games rendered the Xbox One less successful than its foremost competitor, the PlayStation 4. However, it still sold better than the Wii U, and eventually gained more popularity as the controversial aspects of the system were revised or removed altogether, and features such as backwards compatibility and Xbox Game Pass were added. After the console circulated on the market for some time, Microsoft ceased the disclosure of the system's sales numbers; final sales number estimates by late 2021 rank it as the third best-selling home console of the eighth generation, behind the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch, but above the Wii U.

In 2020, the Xbox One's successor, the Xbox Series X/S was released. Titles available for both the Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S were released with only one physical version, the disk compatible with both consoles.

## Games

*Main article: List of Xbox One games*
