    It should be noted that the Prime series now has a more solid connection to the overall plot of the Metroid timeline thanks to Samus Returns, in which Proteus Ridley is the final boss and is visibly still healing from his injuries and cybernetics he received in the Prime series before the events of Super Metroid.

    And Sakamoto had stated that Proteus Ridley's presence was meant to be an intentional to the Prime series.

    Could be but not necessarily, the existence of a cyborg ridley in that time period (between metroid 1 and 2) might be just a shared concept on both series.

    Even so, a consistent and concrete connection between games is always better imo. Alternate timelines and periods just adds unnecessary confusion when in this case both outcomes are identical, the existence of Cyborg Ridley. But hey, if yous have a better reason why a split branching timeline is better, I’m all ears.

    @@Just_Shaun I don't mind either way but I think that branching the prime series from the mainline games would be beneficial for the series, giving the developers more freedom on what they can do with Samus and the lore. Right now, the Primeline is essentially a filler arc but it doesn't have to stay in that position forever. These games are good and different enough to be elevated to the same position as mainline Metroid and be able to build its own version of the Metroid universe without having to worry about what Sakamoto has in mind for his next game.

    Just as a heads up, the Priate Homeworld in Corruption (called Urtraghus in the Japanese version plus unused scans) is not the actual Homeworld of the Space Pirates. In the Trilogy artbook, it is described as "one of many Pirate Homeworlds," meaning, it's more likely akin to what Zebes is to the Space Priates ie. a planet they conquered. Meaning it's loss to the Galactic Federation isn't as devastating as one might think meaning we could easily face multitudes of Space Pirates in Prime 4 as we got in Federation Force.

    The artbook isn't canon since the dates have been retconned by federation force. Plus after super the pirates are extinct so the losss of their homeworld in 3 was devastating

    @@novustalks7525 What dates would those be? And even if that were so, those would just be minor contradictions, it wouldn't make the entire thing non-canon. Other Metroid games have had contradictions, but it doesn't make them non-canon. The artbook is most certainly canon. I should state, the loss of Urtraghus would certainly be devastating, just not quite as much as we thought it to be. Prime 4 could actually further bridge the Space Pirate losses. Remember, we got to fight scores of Space Pirates in Federation Force, ie. a game that takes place after Corruption. ;-)

    "Doesn't reference the other games" First pirate log in the game references the end of Metroid 1. "Zebes has fallen. All ground personnel are presumed dead, either killed by the Hunter clad in metal or in the subsequent destruction of the underground facilities. Our research frigates Orpheon, Siriacus, and Vol Paragom were in orbit at zero hour and managed to retreat. Frigate Orpheon is now docked at Vortex Outpost. Orpheon's cargo appears to have a 100% survival rate; Metroids are healthy but on restricted feeding schedules due to uncertain supply status. We are ready to begin research on the Metroids and other promising life-forms. Security status remains at Code Blue; no signs of pursuit from the Hunter."
