Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Receives Extended Trailer and Final Previews Ahead of Dec. 4 Launch

Fresh trailers with hands-on reports lock in features and performance details before release.

Overview

  • Nintendo’s new overview video lays out the setup on Viewros, highlights Sylux’s assault, and shows traversal via the Vi‑O‑La motorcycle and a desert hub area.
  • Preview sessions report classic Metroid Prime exploration and scanning preserved alongside Lamorn‑derived psychic tools like the Psychic Visor, Control Beam, Glove, and Bomb.
  • Early boss encounters, including the plant-like Carvex, require guided projectiles and telekinetic puzzle solving that blend combat with environmental mechanics.
  • Switch 2 impressions cite responsive Joy‑Con mouse aiming plus selectable modes offering 4K at 60fps with HDR or a 120fps HDR performance option.
  • A chatty companion, Myles MacKenzie, adds more in‑game dialogue, drawing mixed reactions even as overall hands‑on impressions trend positive ahead of the Switch and Switch 2 release on December 4.
