From reddit

There's a Metroid Prime 4 ad in London underground, Oxford Circus, where it says "OUT NOW"

Somebody goofed.

Either case, imminent release? I don't believe they would plaster an ad 6 months in advance with the "OUT NOW" rather than coming soon or something. Typically these ads are what, 2-4 weeks ahead?

Let's fucking go!

 

[amigastar]

Nice, that would be awesome. I hope it's a good Metroid game.

This is the game I will buy a Switch 2 for....eventually

 

[Kacho]

Dropping tonight with the eshop update????

 

[ADiTAR]

Team Fake.

 

[RoboFu]

I would literally squeal if it dropped tomorrow.

 

[amigastar]

This time i won't be playing it on Hard difficulty if there is an option.
IMO Metroid Prime isn't as difficult as a twitch shooter but rather exploration is the keypoint.

[hemo memo]

London underground does what Tokyo metro don't?

 

[Guardian Monkey]

wtf? Is that real?

 

[Kuranghi]

I wanna play it immediately on my S1 when my releases but I know i should wait to play on S2

Its been 18 years lmao I should wait another few months.

People are saying it's fake so you got time.

 

[Hideous Snake]

Looks fake as fuck.

 

[Celcius]

Has Nintendo ever shadow dropped a non-remake/remaster?

 

[Buggy Loop]

Team Fake.

There's multiple angles

I guess anyone in UK right now on GAF could go to that station and take a video

Team real!

 

[ADiTAR]

also the Switch2 logo not having a horizontal option is stupid af

 

[OverHeat]

Team Real!

 

[LordOcidax]

Nintendo Direct soon.

 

[Artistic]

They want the game to flop commercially?

 

[Player Respawn]

Wat?! Gotta play 1 first and where's my 2 and 3 shadow drop before??? lol

 

[Yoshichan]

Looks fake as fuck.

Not fake

 

[Buggy Loop]

A single shadow drop direct with 10 mins footage and the release the next day and it would sell massively.

 

[nial]

It's not fake, but it's a pretty obvious mistake. Nintendo isn't THAT stupid.

 

[blacktout]

Not fake

Oh shit.

 

[Ceadeus]

We've been waiting for this one for a very long fucking time.

MP3 on the Wii....Jesus Christ...

 

[Quantum253]

The "out now" looks fake or out of place

 

[ADiTAR]

It would be my dream to play MP4 this weekend, come on Nintendo release the Samus.

 

[Artistic]

Just release it and patch it up along the way.

 

[blacktout]

This finally got me to turn notifications on for the Nintendo Today app, lol.

 

[OverHeat]

Not fake

Praise the lord!!!!

 

[Dacvak]

There's no way… right?

 

[RoboFu]

It could always just be someone got the dates mixed up to put up the ad.

 

[Guardian Monkey]

So maybe it was originally to be a launch game and it got pushed and somebody forgot to notify the billboard people?

 

[Topher]

Nintendo is going to sue..........somebody

 

[MagiusNecros]

Nah guys they just saying that the MP4 billboard is out now.

 

[Kuranghi]

People are saying it's fake so you got time.

Yeah i figured this a bunch a shite I just meant generally. It looks so good on S2.

 

[Kacho]

Not fake

 

[ADiTAR]

Maybe it's Nintendo announcing Samus is a lesbian.

 

[adamsapple]

I think the Out Now thing was meant to be next to Switch 2 branding.

Someone screwed up.

 

[Dacvak]

I know this is just a mistake, but part of me wants to believe.

I mean, it would be a stupid move to shadow drop the game, but also… please do it Nintendo.

 

[Nydius]

Almost certainly a printing mistake or an advertising agency mistake.

Nintendo would be beyond stupid to shadow drop Metroid Prime 4 now. If it is ready, it would have been part of the Switch 2 launch day.

 

[MagiusNecros]

I know this is just a mistake, but part of me wants to believe.

I mean, it would be a stupid move to shadow drop the game, but also… please do it Nintendo.

They put Metroid in Zelda's shadow all the time so maybe they should just shadowdrop it.

I doubt they will release it this soon if Donkey Kong is their next big game.

And they haven't updated the MP4 Nintendo Store Page with info like file size so it's probably a mistake.

 

[LordOcidax]

I think the Out Now thing was meant to be next to Switch 2 branding.

That billboard is probably removed right now… Still i think the game is going to come out in August.

Yeah, I'm not getting myself worked up over this. The road leads to tears of disappointment.

 

[Dacvak]

That's the life of a Metroid fan, alright.

 

[hemo memo]

Someone go to Oxford Circus and let us know. Come on.

 

[Walter Matthau]

Just finished it. Mouse controls were ok, but I prefer to only use them for the bosses.
