The same URL TechPlusGame linked out to in its story - the same one that McTrOiD supposedly got their screenshot from - was also posted on Reddit on Ap(mere hours after April Fools' Day ended). Even then, the link it provides to the Best Buy listing produces an error.
When Inverse visited the link on Monday, it did not work, but it has since been restored. They claimed that they found the information about Best Buy Metroid Prime Trilogy page in a Sunday news article by TechPlusGame. “It has a link to the listing and I instantly had to tweet that out since no one else was talking about it.” “It was around 6:30ish went on Google and I just saw this article of the situation,” the person who runs the McTrOid account told Inverse. When Inverse asked the leaker where they found the alleged Best Buy listing, McTrOiD’s story didn't quite add up. McTrOiD’s tweet was written about by several video game news sites Monday morning, which stirred another wave of Metroid Prime Trilogy rumors. The Best Buy screenshot that made waves Monday. The image showed a listing for “Metroid Prime Trilogy - Nintendo Switch.” We're led to assume that the retailer accidentally published the landing page for the game before Nintendo even announced the title. It all started with a screenshot of Best Buy’s website that was tweeted by Metroid fan account McTrOiD on Sunday. This leak set off Inverse’s BS alarm from the outset, and as much as we want to believe that Samus will make her glorious comeback on the Switch sometime soon, there’s too much evidence that suggests this latest Metroid information is a total fake. Sadly, the sad truth is just a year-old April Fools' Day joke that has somehow been recycled to spread misinformation yet again. Just how accurate is this "leak," however But there was a glimmer of hope for fans on Sunday when an alleged leak for a Best Buy listing seemingly revealed that the long-rumored remastered version of Metroid Prime Trilogy (2009) would soon be coming to the Switch. Nothing official has been announced by Nintendo.There has been a glaring absence of Metroid games on the Nintendo Switch, especially since the highly-anticipated Metroid Prime 4 has faced enough delays that the franchise seems even more lost in space than ever before. Insider Gaming speculates that a Nintendo Direct could be on the horizon, especially considering a new OLED Switch model for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom just leaked too. Giant Bomb previously mentioned improvements would be more notable in the first game compared to Echoes and Corruption (the second and third installments, respectively). The reported remasters for the three Metroid Prime games could include dual-stick and gyro controls. In fact, GameSpot sister site Giant Bomb reported that the original Metroid Prime was planned to release on Nintendo Switch this past holiday season to coincide with the game's 20th anniversary. There also have been rumors for years of a remastered Metroid Prime Trilogy. Since then, it's been close to radio silence even though people have expected news is coming for the Samus Aran adventure before.
Developer Retro Studios overtook development in early 2019. For starters, Metroid Prime 4 was announced over five years ago. Now this cryptic message could go in a couple of different directions. Now Playing: The Complete Metroid Timeline Explained
