Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is launching on Nintendo Switch in 2025. Wishlist today: https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro...Harness Samus Aran's new psychic abilities to survive the mysterious planet of Viewros and find a way home when Metroid Prime 4: Beyond comes to Nintendo Switch in 2025.​

 

[Luipadre]

Switch 2 save us

 

[RetroGamingUK]

Yeah, think I’ll be getting the Switch 2 version.

 

[ikbalCO]

the release date has to be the date of the switch 2 launch and they didnt want the give away the date for switch 2 today.

Thats my guess

 

[Kataploom]

Looks great to me, and at 60 FPS, I'll be playing on Switch 2 tho

 

[fallingdove]

Is this a N64 remaster? Geez. Not impressed, especially for how long this game has supposedly been in development.

 

[asdasdasdbb]

Ha, so I turned out to be right they would show MP4.

 

[Gaiff]

Nintendo has done it. They made a sequel that is coming out 23 years later with the same graphics.

 

[TexMex]

I can’t believe how underwhelming that was.

 

[Arachnid]

EDIT: Yeah, graphics are kind of shit. So are most switch games. Not why I'm here.

 

[Kilau]

Really hope they bring back the magic of MP1 and 2 because 3 was a slog, partly due to the annoying Wii controls.

 

[Represent.]

Looks like a mid tier PS3 game

Hurry up and drop that Switch 2 man, this is trash. and theres nothing in the gameplay department screaming innovation either to justify 15 year old graphics (like with zelda, the physics). its just bad all around.

 

[Evil Smurf King]

Great trailer... but I hate this f*cking purple in everything trend. Everything is purple now

 

[Gonzito]

All these years waiting for this? It looks mid

 

[Giallo Corsa]

Man, after watching the trailer I thought, "wait, is that all?"

Reading through the comments in here...it appears I'm not alone

This was extremely underwhelming,.I mean, i wasn't expecting XSX/PS5 levels of graphics prowess but this...this looked extremely disappointing.

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

Great looking PS3 game.

Am i tripping or the metroid prime 3 remake looks better lol

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

You guys do realize we are talking about hardware less powerful than your new cellphone right?

 

[Kings Field]

Game looks great. Can’t wait.

 

[Zacfoldor]

Can't wait.

When did it become okay to be an open and unashamed graphics whore?

 

[SimTourist]

Props to Nintendo for still supporting the gamecube with first party games

 

[Pejo]

I'm sure it'll be fun but those "new" skills got lifted directly from Zelda games. Also it looks like an upscaled emulated PS2 game.

They should have just delayed this until Switch 2 probably.

 

[Zacfoldor]

Am i tripping or the metroid prime 3 remake looks better lol

I guarantee you it looks infinitely better than the "metroid prime 3 remake" and I dare anyone to argue otherwise.

 

[AngelMuffin]

Less hyped for sure & not because of the graphics…not digging the environment/art style. Hopefully, there’s more diversity in the environments.

based on that trailer i have doubts

 

[Dacvak]

 

[Fermbiz]

First Person Assventure

 

[N0S]

 

[lestar]

Is it just me, or does the Metroid Prime 1 remaster look better and more realistic? The environments look way too cartoonish

 

[LordOcidax]

Day -0

 

[clarky]

Underwhelming visuals aside, what an underwhelming trailer. Looked boring as shit.

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Looked great!

Its obvious this is a crossgen title at this point, and will be shown again on Switch 2 in a few days along with the release date

 

[Diddy X]

I will just leave this here: It looks bad on purpose.

 

[RoadHazard]

Now THIS looks like a Switch 1 game. Those textures, ugh. MP Remastered looks better. Let's hope we'll get to see a VASTLY upgraded Switch 2 version next week.

I also hope there's some more space stationy sci-fi stuff and not just these lush jungle environments.

 

[Zacfoldor]

You can always go play AC Shadows. I hear it's the best reason to own a PC. Great graphics. The artstyle, so good, lol.

Honestly, AC Shadows enjoyers coming in here very obtusely dissing on Metroid is like people who think McDonalds is better than Hell's Kitchen. You will never know how funny you are.

 

[TheAtomicPile]

It'll probably be the best thing that comes out this year, despite the graphics.

 

[Diddy X]

Haha, dream on! You might get 60fps and some slightly better controls courtesy of the mouse gimmick—consider yourself lucky.

 

[the welsh one]

If you'd have told me that was a mobile game I would believe you. It looks soulless and basic.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Oof...well, Nintendo will Nintendo, all will be forgotten if Switch 2 is revealed with new Mario as a launch title.

 

[robor]

Why didn't they just let Namco Bandai do something completely new?

Why does it have to be a contrived sequel to an already complete trilogy?

It just looks and feels completely SAFE!

 

[Cyberpunkd]

the release date has to be the date of the switch 2 launch and they didnt want the give away the date for switch 2 today.

Thats my guess

I wouldn't be surprised if the Switch 2 version was launching with Switch 2, the Switch 1 version being delayed.

 

[Blitzkrieg!]

My working theory (cope) is that they built this around the Switch 2 then had to work backwards from there to make it run on Switch. So compromises were made.

 

[tr1p1ex]

It takes place on planet Viewros.

 

[Markio128]

Underwhelming visuals aside, what an underwhelming trailer. Looked boring as shit.

I have to agree with you there.

 

[Horseganador]

I hope the NS2 version looks much better, this trailer is graphically disappointing.

 

[neocycle]

Not feeling it.

 

[Punished Miku]

Not blown away at all but will pick up for Switch 2. All Prime games are inferior to Dread.

Hahahahaha, I noticed that too. I'm sure if Samus was retconned into being a different race and being trans they would praise the game.

 

[alienator]

i could sorta live with the extremely dated graphics, but gameplay wise im already annoyed with psychic powers just from this trailer. looks incredibly.... uninspired? And i just finished the metroid prime remake, maybe just too much metroid.
