Rumors about a Metroid Prime Trilogy remaster for Nintendo Switch continue to swirl, but insider NateTheHate now suggests Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption may not appear in the upcoming Nintendo Direct. This contradicts earlier speculation that Nintendo planned HD remasters of all three games, especially after the well-received Metroid Prime Remastered launched in February 2023.
For years, leakers like Jeff Grubb and NateTheHate have claimed Nintendo has a finished or near-finished trilogy remaster waiting in the wings. Many assumed the company was holding it back to build hype before Metroid Prime 4, which was rebooted in 2019 under Retro Studios and still has no release date.
After Metroid Prime Remastered‘s surprise drop, fans expected Echoes and Corruption to follow with similar upgrades—modern controls, visual enhancements, and possibly extra content. Yet Nintendo has stayed quiet, and NateTheHate’s latest remarks cast doubt on whether the sequels will ever come to Switch.
Some still hope for a shadow drop, while others wonder if Nintendo has shifted focus to Prime 4 or even its next console. With no official word, fans are left guessing: will the trilogy be completed on Switch, or will only the first game get the remaster treatment? For now, all they can do is wait—and keep expectations in check.
