Why are they waiting so long?

Best case scenario is a Metroid Direct, but it doesn't seem very likely. It's either a September release, and if so it's weird that we don't have a date yet, or something else.

Maybe i'm trippin, but what if MP4 IS the holiday release and the game is so much bigger for Nintendo than anyone expected? In that case it's probable that we will get a full reveal like the one from the Donkey Kong Direct, that completely changed the perception around the game: from "It looks good" to "I must play this".

What do you think?

I have no idea what Nintendo are planning with Metroid Prime. The saga had a bit of a moment with Dread and Prime Remaster, but they haven't been giving Prime 4 that much attention in the Switch 2 marketing. I'm hoping it's as you say: A Direct with full reveal that changes the perception. I had my doubts with DK Bananza, but the Direct convinced me to get it (and I'm really enjoying it).

September does seem too close, but there's been rumours about a July Direct. That could potentially be the Metroid Direct for a September release. They have the new Pokémon in October. So that leaves November and December. It could be the holiday release! Hyrule Warriors will potentially slip into next year, since it was announced for "this winter" (Northern Hemisphere).

Also August has a weak lineup of first party games. Drag x Drive doesn't look like much more than a demo for the mouse controls and then there's Kirby Switch 2 edition. Metroid Prime 4 could be a good option for September.

Also let's get Prime 2 and 3 HD shadow dropped please!

On that note, I hope the direct for Prime 4 is a release day, with a "also, have Prime 2 remaster today" in it to build hype
