In some universe, Nintendo follows up on this with a proper remaster or sequel to capitalize on what good this game had.

Nobody plays these games for the multiplayer, so the target audience is a bit questionable to begin with, especially during an era where online gaming didn't hit that exact point of being commonplace yet and local multiplayer was still king. I think there's a place for a modern take on Metroid Prime Hunters because the game did get a lot right, and what it got right are things that gamers are more open to nowadays. Having a variety of hunters to choose from all with their own distinct weapons, movement options, unique weapon effects and whatnot doesn't create for a balanced play experience, but it sure creates for a fun one, especially for maps that range from enormous to impractically small.

It was Nintendo's stab at creating a competitive shooter back in 2006. Before they decided to get weird with Splatoon, Metroid seemed like an obvious choice even though most people playing Metroid games sought out solitary gameplay experiences and Metroid Prime Hunters had a lukewarm campaign at best.

But I think we're finally in a world where fans would accept a Metroid Prime spin-off, right? Right? pls ignore federation force
