I think its getting to the point where I need to have a moratorium on anything Retro/Metroid related cause anything I say seems to spiral into something I cant control. 

I got a heads up about the GamingLeaksAndRumors subreddit posting about my 'Metroid Prime X isnt finished' tweet and as usual, they didnt post the full context, fixated on the its not finished and chose to sensationalize it to cause drama. Im getting on top of this now before website publications and youtubers start taking it as an opportunity to get clicks.

As I mentioned in my previous tweet about vague release dates, ITS NOTHING TO PANIC ABOUT! Its not in development hell, its not Prime X development all over again, its not incompetence at Retro, its none of that. When devs give a vague release date it means it isnt finished, it means we THINK we can have it ready sometime within this timeframe. Metroid Prime X is in its final stretch! so its NEARLY done

Contrary to popular belief, Nintendo greatly cares about Metroid as a franchise and they want to ensure that it is the best it can be because there is a lot riding on it since we havent had a Prime entry since 2007!! 

I keep getting asked about a release date, I think a September release seems unlikely personally (it seems too close now) and I think November or December will be when it comes out. 

If you are going to post my stuff on GamingLeaksAndRumors or whatever else, please reach out to me first. Get the full context before you start posting this stuff. Thanks
