Alright, so here I am trying to wrap my head around this whole Retro Studios drama. It’s like, you know, sometimes you stumble upon something online, and it’s a total game-changer—or a game that never quite happened, I guess. Anyway, more than four hours of this thing called Harmony (never heard of it before, but apparently it existed?) just popped up. And, oh boy, people have opinions.
So yeah, Retro Studios, they’re like the brains behind Metroid Prime and all that jazz. People love ’em, right? But when this Harmony game emerged, Reddit went all detective mode about it. Like, “Is this really Retro quality? Does it even matter?” Meanwhile, I’m over here just impressed by how much people care.
And, okay, let’s talk Metroid Prime 4: Beyond for a hot sec. Samus is getting psychic powers! Yes, you heard it. Psychic powers! Plus, rocking a new suit. Sort of that classic ‘new year, new me’ vibe. They’re saying 2025, which feels forever away, but it’ll sneak up on us like everything does.
Oh, wait, I almost forgot—because I got distracted, naturally—Harmony. This footage went up on YouTube thanks to some hero named Stumblyn. Nintendo wasn’t having it, though. Gotta love those copyright ninjas, am I right? They swiped it down faster than you could say “gone.”
It was, like, this whole linear, 3D platformer thing with a singing redhead protagonist? Nintendo just wasn’t ready, I guess. Or maybe the world wasn’t ready for it. Hard to say. Anyway, it wasn’t supposed to be just forgotten. People thought maybe it couldn’t hold a candle to Retro’s other masterpieces—they have high standards, let me tell you.
Now, backtracking to Metroid Prime 4 for a sec… because honestly, who can stay focused for long these days? It’s gonna team up with other names that make you go, “Whoa, is that real?” You know, like that new Zelda sequel and, okay, I admit, Cyberpunk’s getting another shot? Didn’t see that coming.
So yeah, Nintendo Switch 2 seems like it’s gonna keep us wired and entertained. But who knows what else is lurking in those development archives? Maybe we’ll find out someday. Or not. But hey, what’s out there now is pretty wild.
