Interesting thing about every release of Metroid Prime 1, 2 and 3. They never, ever fixed the issue of the map intermittently inverting (ie: you'd be looking at it from beneath instead of from above and you can't rotate the view past a side-on look even when the map is working right.)

Is that a real issue? The map is transparent and uses parallel projection, so you get a Necker cube effect. It definitely felt inverted to me sometimes, but I don't think it ever actually was.

Yeah it's real, sometimes if you mess with the map enough you can rotate the map past the side-on limitation and view the map from the other side.

Yeah, that does happen. I always thought it was just me, or some weird optical illusion. Glad to see I'm not the only one who noticed it. :P It never really bothered me though. I liked the map, and haven't seen any other game try a 3D map quite like that. I think it could work for Zelda, if dungeon designs get more complex.

Eh, I'm with Saffith on this one.  Sometimes the map looks inverted, but you can mentally switch it back if you try.  I definitely know the effect you're talking about,  but it's just an optical illusion rather than a bug they missed three games in a row.

Hey, ever wondered why there hasn't been any updates on Metroid Prime 4 since it was announced back at E3 2017? Well, Nintendo finally gave an update on the game, and it's quite a bombshell:

 

http://www.nintendol...e_retro_studios

 

It seems they were not satisfied with the development of the game, thinking that it wasn't going to live up to the quality of the previous games. So they had to make the decision to start over with the game's development. The good news is Retro Studios is now getting involved in the game's development.

 

I'm kind-of relieved that they didn't cancel the game, because the wording in the update video made it seem like they were going to.
