Despite its predecessor releasing nearly two years ago, the purported remaster of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes remains missing in action. Rumors of Nintendo having remastered the entire Metroid Prime trilogy for the Switch have existed almost as long as the Switch itself, and multiple reliable leaks from industry insiders have pointed to Nintendo having remasters of both Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption ready for release following the overwhelming success of Metroid Prime Remastered. It begs the question, then, of when Nintendo is planning to give Metroid fans what they've been waiting for, and the ideal window for such a release is rapidly closing.
