Unlikely but what if Nintendo did THIS for Metroid Prime?

So.
February they shadow-launched Metroid Prime Remastered.

Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2 run off of what essentially amounts to the same engine.

What if Metroid Prime 2 Remastered is in the works or is even nearly completed and Nintendo does another shadow-launch at one of the directs this year?

Then later on they shadow-launch Metroid Prime 3 Remastered as well?

This would be a neat way to build up hype for the eventual launch of Metroid Prime 4 AND this would be a great way for the newer generation of players to get up-to-speed with the Prime arch of the story, considering that MP2 is a bit rare and Metroid Prime Trilogy on the Wii is a bit of a collector's item.

Perhaps they won't even shadow-launch Echoes and Corruption, rather instead knowing that MP1 Remastered was a success, they might announce the eventual release of the other two?

Point is of this post is that either way we look at it, I believe it is plausible that Nintendo is seeking to remaster the entire Metroid Prime Trilogy and giving us Metroid Prime 4 once the trilogy is redone, all of which possibly releasing within a year to a year-and-a-half time-span.

That's basically what I'm expecting. I don't think they'll shadow drop the other two though. But worse case scenario, they do some sort of double pack of 2 and 3. I'd love to have all 3 games separately with their own remastered covers like Metroid Prime. Like what Platinum Games did with the Bayonetta trilogy.
 
I fully expect this to happen. It would make no sense for Nintendo to only remaster the first Prime before Prime 4. Prime 2 in September or October and Prime 3 in the first half of next year makes the most sense to me. This is assuming Prime 4 releases in holiday 2024, which I think is enough time considering it restarted development in 2019.
