Metroid Prime 4: Beyond reviews roundup

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:

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond boss fight leaked in unlisted Nintendo Switch 2 ads

Posted on 2 months ago by Cris-(chito) in News, Switch, Switch 2, Videos | 0 comments

Two Nintendo Switch 2 ads have surfaced showing unreleased gameplay footage for the upcoming Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. Famiboards user BackwardsCompat posted the video links on the website earlier today.

Both ads only run at 15 seconds long, with there also being a Youtube Shorts version of each one. These ads are also more centered around the Nintendo Switch 2 rather than the upcoming title, therefore they don’t show very much aside from an unseen boss. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is only a month and a half away from its release, so we should be expecting these ads to be going public soon in tandem with the holiday season.

You can see the two ads, and their Youtube Shorts versions below:
