Doesnt make sense to shadowdrop this game.

Fake

Nintendo has fixed its London Underground ad which claimed Metroid Prime 4 was ‘out now’ | VGC

Nintendo had previously confirmed to VGC that the ad was “incorrect”…

So what the FUCK happened to this shit?

It wasn't fake... so what was it?

Nintendo said a new direct soon so likely to launch this for fall.

People think someone fucked up this ad and it was meant to be the NS2 is available now, not MP4.

It's not fake, but it's a pretty obvious mistake. Nintendo isn't THAT stupid.

There was another billboard for Mario Kart World that was part of the same series of advertisements that also said "out now." The designer probably accidentally added that text to this ad when it was supposed to say "coming soon" or something similar.

 

[MagiusNecros]

I just want a release date.

 

[Zuzu]

I finished Metroid Prime 3 on my Wii for the first time the other day so I'm all up to speed with the series in preparation for Prime 4!

Nice, I never got to play 2 or 3 so I was hoping we would get remasters

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Jesus fuck still no release date, starting to get a bad feeling about this.

 

[Chittagong]

Jesus fuck still no release date, starting to get a bad feeling about this.

Remember that we didn't even know Super Mario Wonder existed in June and it released in October

 

[March Climber]

Jesus fuck still no release date, starting to get a bad feeling about this.

I'm waiting for the "how I fooled everyone into thinking Metroid Prime 4 was shadowdropping" behind the scenes video to drop.

 

[Dorfdad]

Relax it's a holiday release

 

[justiceiro]

Am I the only that realized this "out now" was referring to switch 2 and not Metroid 4? The banner probably the switch 2 launch date before, and after the launch, they simply pasted the "out now" over it.

I do agree the ad could be more clear about it, though.

Nintendo denied soon after that:

Metroid Prime 4 advert reportedly spotted in London, sparking hopes of imminent release

An advert for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond has been apparently photographed on the London Underground, stating the game is "out now".

I'm really hoping this is September. It's the only month nothing comes out from Nintendo...

 

[GymWolf]

If good, it would be the first reason to buy a sw2.

Bring it.

 

[SomeNorseGuy]

 

[ADiTAR]

How is it not finished? they've been at it for 6 years. I also need it to come out before my voucher expires, is there any way to extend it?

If we're lucky they're close to the finishing line. Let's hope we get a date in the next direct.

As to you voucher, sorry not that I'm aware of.

U' frat', the SW2 is a nifty little console - take it from me since I never was a Nintendo cult fanatic (last Ninty console I had was the
Wii for a whole week).

Just for the Zeldas alone, Mario 3d world+Bowser's fury, Mario Odyssey, Metroid Dread and aaaalll those nifty Metroidvanias available for a pittance (during sales) on the Eshop it was money well spent so far.

Sure, it costs more than a PS5 slim (and it'll never reach its GFX/tech), but, the fact that you can undock it and continue playing during poo-poo time® and dock it back again continuing your session seamlessly is chef's kiss.jpg.

PS : Mario kart is also fun AF if you never played one of those

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

yeah, just wrapped it up

good game overall but

Y CANT METROID CRAWL

[Krathoon]

I was thinking this would be out in the fall. Now, I am not so sure.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

I love Metroid and even I feel a faint whiff of annoyance and boredom every time I see Prime 4 mentioned by now. This game better be the best shit ever.

 

[CartesianMan]

If it's good on the level of Metroid Prime remaster I'm in.

 

[Krathoon]

Yeah. That is kind of the problem. The game seems like the same old shit. They need to show some cool bits.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

 

[Robb]

It's fun to speculate but the game was also re-confirmed for a 2025 launch two days ago..

Not that it can't change, but considering the rest of 2025 is such a short window I kind of doubt they'll push it into 2026 at this point.

 

[kevboard]

it is true that a german age rating basically means the game is done, as any and all content missing from the version the USK reviews would mean they'll need to redo the entire process, which costs money.

Capcom did this once, and then cheaped out on doing a re-review.
any german will remember the Resident Evil 4 debacle.

Capcom sent in an unfinished version of RE4 to the USK. that version missed the mercenaries and Assignment Ada.
so, the German version was released without both of them... and this somehow didn't change with subsequent releases either, because now Capcom was scared that they somehow could deny an age rating when they included them for review (which was nonsense of course, but who knows why Capcom throught that)
meaning the PS2 and Wii ports of RE4 did include the main game and Separate Ways... but still lacked Mercenaries and Assignment Ada.

this continued on into the first PS360 HD remasters as well.
the PS4/Xbox One versions where the first releases that were entirely uncut, but only after a patch

so Capcom did eventually sent in the international version for review all these years later... took em long enough

 

[Danjin44]

Nintendo should have done like they did with DKB….announce the game when the game is actually ready to gets announced.

The game announced 8 years ago and still has no proper released date.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

My most anticipated game of the year. Let's fucking go.

 

[Mozza]

Have they put up that billboard again ???
