Omega Metroid Podcast Episode 301 – Reacting to Nintendo’s Famitsu Interview Discussing Metroid Prime 4’s Development, Timeline Placement, and Story Philosophy
We’re starting 2026 off with a bang by discussing Nintendo’s recent interview with Fasmitsu about Metroid Prime 4! Translated by our pals over at Shinesparkers, this interview with the unnamed developer touches on multiple topics, including the premise of the game and the intent for Sylux to be a major player, the placement of Beyond in the Metroid timeline, the challenges of restarting development, how Sol Valley and Vi-O-La came to be, what influence Breath of the Wild had on development, and the rationale behind that controversial ending. We are giving our thoughts and reactions, saying what we sympathize with and what offends us about these answers.
All this, PLUS we’re talking about what we want to see from the Metroid series in 2026! Beyond DLC, Metroid 6, Vi-O-La in Mario Kart, and more! Come hang out!
