20 Most Anticipated Video Games Of 2018 - Ranked

3. Metroid Prime 4

We have nothing but a title screen, though just mentioning another Metroid Prime was enough to whip the Nintendo populace into a stupor.

The FPS rework of a formerly 2D side scroll-only blaster, the Prime series helped make the Gamecube one of the most beloved consoles of all time, though with subsequent sequels Metroid would lean heavily into motion controls, even re-releasing the original trilogy with them bolted onto the original.

Going forward, one of the biggest questions surrounding Prime 4 is whether it'll once again rely on motion controls, despite the Switch-based need to take the game on the go.

Here's hoping they won't, and we'll get a Metroid Prime that's all about the gameplay - perhaps even perfecting the sort of hybrid side-scrolling mixed with shooting and combat from Other M (dare I say it).
