Looking at Metroid Prime Remaster, fans cannot contain their excitement for the sequels, and now they want to know if those sequels are indeed coming to Switch or not. Thankfully, Jeff Grubb the industry insider and a very trusted source has confirmed that those two games are indeed coming to Switch.

We should not forget that he was the one who revealed the existence of these remasters for Nintendo Switch in the first place.
