Meet the troopers

• by

After the huge media backlash on Myles Makenzie following the release of mainstream coverage of the Prime 4 press event, we took a little bit of heat ourselves by defending Nintendo’s decision to make Prime 4 a game that is not focused on pure isolation. Moving forward, I am going to reserve judgement on Nintendo/Tanabe’s decision making until I play Prime 4 myself.

 

That being said, the Japanese Prime 4 website has (once again) gone all in on providing fans with an incredible amount of hype content whereas us Americans are left with jack and shit in regards to website content.

 

The “Troopers” page of the Japanese site has some awesome bios and renders, along with voice clips, on all the new characters Samus will be teaming up with on Planet Viewros. We have gone ahead and Google Translated the info for your convenience and are reporting here.
