There has been a couple. But they are just regurgitating Overview Trailer info and the information from the JP site.

Some even lambasted when they couldn't answer questions about the game...proving they hadn't actually played it and were deflecting big time. Amateur hour indeed.

I don't think we will see any "real" reviews until after Monday.

Metroid was always inspired by Alien, thats your connection with HR Giger.

I'm fully aware of that, even mentioned it earlier in the thread. However, the only Metroid game that went with Giger's style before was Super Metroid.

Nintendo says Prime 4 is the start of a new story, and the Prime Trilogy ended its arc with Prime 3

Hopefully it's a set-up for a new trilogy-saga of games.

I've watched my friends play a demo of the game at the Milan Games Week yesterday. I didn't watch all of it to avoid too many spoilers, though.

The game (Switch 2 version) looked good enough. No sophisticated modern lighting, but it's clean and very smooth. The demo was just the tutorial phase up to the first boss, like the frigate level from the first MP. Just a series of easy battles and basic tutorials. The boss was a little more complex than the usual, with attacks needing the player to use the dash and the morph ball to avoid attacks that hit on different heights.

My friends weren't completely sold on the mouse controls. The left-right motion was smooth enough, but I could see them not having the easiest of times aiming precisely at their targets. I didn't try it so I can't comment on that. But I enjoyed the free aim so much in MP Remastered, that I think I'll just use that control scheme instead of mouse controls anyway.

I've seen very little, but the game looked solid from that little. Nothing was shown about the bike and desert sections, though.

I'm a bit more optimistic now. It's just so strange Nintendo has given this game so little light compared to Kirby Air Riders.

Gyro aiming controls will likely be the best for freeform aiming. Ever since Corruption it's been the best way to play IMO.

Just bought Wii prime trilogy for nothing, this should have been common info since the announcement

If the Yautja in Badlands could learn about the power of friendship, then so can Samus. Remember guys, friendship is magic.

Can't wait to finish the fight in 2045 on Switch 5.
