Nearly a year and a half since Metroid Prime 4's E3 2017 announcement, Nintendo still isn't ready to show the game off or announce a release window.
But Nintendo of America President and COO Reggie Fils-Aime says fans shouldn't take that as any cause for concern over its development, echoing what he told IGN about Metroid Prime 4 at E3 2018.

2019 marks the 80th anniversary of Batman's debut, and DC has big plans for the Dark Knight. Among those plans is a major new storyline that will officially induct the Arkham Knight character into the main DC Comics continuity.

Wolverine’s Resurrection Is Much More Complicated Than We Thought
