Metroid Prime 4 is Nintendo's masterstroke of inductive storytelling

Other M is canon.

Now just follow me here... As we can clearly see each Metroid Prime has established a hinted to its continuation.

>Prime 1 saw Metroid Prime be killed and the idea of the Metroid's clone-ability and haustorial (note the giant mushroom plumes) and the Space Pirate's experimentation with Prime was used to beget Dark Samus using DNA it extracted from her during battle.
>Prime 2. Samus beats Dark Samus, who manages to be recreated by the source of Phazon which created Metroid Prime, a callback to the Hyper Mode in the original Prime's final battle.
>Prime 3 conclusively closed the book, except for Sylux, a mysterious attempt by the GF to duplicate the phenotypes of the Metroid. His cameo at the end means he will be integral to the plot of Prime 4.

What else does Sylux have in common with the plot of MP3? He's a bounty hunter, and Samus has just killed three in self-defense. This clearly plants the seed of PTSD of Other M's story. So minding that Sakamoto has gone back and twice established that the Prime series IS canon, we know that Federation Force which is also a little over-the-top in its portrayal of Samus must be canon. This means Prime 4 will feature Sylux in possession of a baby Metroid, per the secret ending. Samus will kill the Baby in Prime 4 and this is what informs her PTSD in the subsequent Super Metroid/Other M continuity. This entire time, we've been criticizing Other M without keeping in mind Nintendo's penchant for achronological narrative (i.e. see Zelda).

tl;dr

Prime 4 is a prequel to Other M and Nintendo planned this all along. We just weren't ready.

Eesh, sorry. I'll be sure to proofread before I post again.

no shit it takes place after 3

This is somehow supposed to be a goo thing?

*good

Don't you see the implications this has from an Emmy-nominated point of view that Nintendo is breaking new ground in surrealistic storytelling like David Lynch?

She has captured the essence of PTSD by orating the story back to us out of synch, causing our own incomprehension and to the end of familiarizing us with the effects of mental trauma and discoherence with reality.

>"Sylux is Ian Malkovich"

It's possible that Sylux is somehow the Deleter and that's why that plotline was never resolved.

>tripcode OP

>Sylux is James Pierce"

Very impressive middle school analyses mr sterling

the deleter is james pierce, aka the evil moustache guy

what an epic turn of events

Ian malkovich is such a minor character that this wouldn't even cause any impact if he was

Well, the game is being made by a Japanese developer so it does make sense that it would be the most polarizing Metroid game since Metroid: Other M.

its more stupid retards thinking some ex-fed Cyclosis monster is a background character in Other M, a game Tanabe had no involvement on.

ok
1. stop listening to rumor junk Eurogamer spout out of their mouths
2. not every Japanese developer makes Other M. we just had Sakamoto-helmed game that had webm related

I'd like it if Prime 4 would end up being some kind of missing link between the Prime games and Samus Returns, with the metroid Sylux stole evolving into some sort of a mutated metroid queen as a final boss

Sakamoto already said SR has no connections to what ever Tanabe is thinking up for Metroid Prime 4

I know and this is why I can't wait for Metroid 5.

The thing is though, they could write a new game to have this twist if they wanted to
