Metroid Prime 4: Beyond reviews roundup
Posted on 1 day ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
We’re just on the cusp of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond’s launch, and initial reviews have started to hit. Verdicts are dropping with the game coming in just a couple of days.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is a significant launch as it’s one of the longest waits we’ve ever seen for a Nintendo game. First announced in 2017, it was rebooted in 2019 with Retro Studios being assigned to handle development at the time. Retro is revisiting what made the series so great with first-person adventure gameplay, but is throwing new wrinkles into the mix such as the motorcycle Vi-O-La that helps players explore planet Viewros and new psychic abilities.
Below is the roundup of initial reviews for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond:
Yacht Club at a breaking point and needs Mina the Hollower to be a hit, 3D Shovel Knight has been in the works

Bloomberg published a new report today delving into issues Yacht Club Games has faced in recent years, and also claims that the studio had been working on a 3D Shovel Knight which it still hopes to release at some point.
There’s a lot covered in the article, but Bloomberg says the company “is facing an existential struggle.” It notes that Yacht Club “has churned through most of its capital, forcing it to downsize and put a planned second project on hold so everyone can focus on Mina the Hollower.” Employees are burnt out and the game’s delay is further impacting finances.
