Hey everybody! Samster here, with potentially an interesting discussion.

Nintendo has kept us in the dark for a long time now about Metroid Prime 4. They showed the trailer, then have said nothing more. (Now, bear with me, as I know that this might not be legit.) If this is correct, Amazon may have accidentally leaked the release date for Metroid Prime 4.

Now, my guess is that it’s just a placeholder date, but I’ve seen a few other people online discussing it seriously, so I thought why not put it here, and see what you guys think about it.

Thoughts? :eyes:
 
I would say it is a placeholder. Nintendo would never put a game release date almost directly after christmas! The date December 31 seems way too fishy to me. It would be sometime midway through 2019 I would think. So yeah I'm not listening to this leak as I am fairly confident that it is not real. And besides, December 2019 is a long ways away! Thats basically 2020!

That’s what I thought too. But then, people started talking about the possibility of it being legit, and trying to prove it with all of these facts. :p

But yeah, I agree with ya.

"Metroid Prime" has 12 letters, and "4" would represent 4 letters. Add those together and you get 16. 16 times 2 is 32. There is only 1 "P" in the word "Metroid Prime" so you subtract 1 from 32, and then you get 31. There are 2 "M"s, 2 "E"s, 2 "R"s, and 2 "I"s. M is the 13th letter of the alphabet, E is the 5th, R is the 18th, and I is the 9th. All those all together and you get 45. 45 times 45 is 2025. The word "Switch" has 6 letters and 2015 minus 6 is 2019. The word "Metroid Prime" has 12 letters, and December is the 12th month of the year.

That is my logic.

100% a placeholder date. Shops have to put placeholder dates there to be able to put the pages up. If it ever says like, 31st december, 1st january or any dates like that and dates have not been confirmed. Then it's a placeholder, no questions about it.

Also what Shiny said, nintendo wouldn't ever release a game right after christmas, that'd be buisness suicide for sales. When everyone has already spent all their money, no paydays have rolled around since then, it'd be a flop at launch.

Its a placeholder. Why would a release date be the 31st? The dates are usually more random. Also, what everyone else above me said
 
Yup like a placeholder. Amazon uses December 31st as their placeholder dates. There haven't ever been many games that released on that day (people tend to be preoccupied with new years things, and it's a really bad time to release besides that because you miss people buying the games for the holiday season, or for gifts, or for black friday sales.
