Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (Switch, Switch 2) (December 4, 2025)

Seeing 81 on MC and I'm totally 'fine' with that.

Won't think about the development time once I'm playing it but yeah to be in dev as long as it was and be an '80' game isn't what anyone wanted.

8/10 is a great score I just think after 8 years people were hoping for goty tier game from a studio that only put out 90’s

Damn, the media normally dikkrides Nintendo harder than that

 

[Microfracture]

Problem with a Nintendo 80 is you don't know how much dikkriding was applied to the score

 

[Kingshango]

Mercurysteam made a better Metroid game than Retro Studios.

MERCURYSTEAM!

If its actually an 8/10 its well worth playing. But for a major Nintendo game to score that, the quality is probably actually 5 or 6/10

What’s the ost sounding like

 

[bigde09]

8/10 for a Nintendo game is really an 6/10

In theory a 79 is worth trying and you might love it, but for a major Nintendo release to get below 80 is a very bad sign.

Actually, the biggest worry is the lack of marketing on Nintendo's end. Like it almost feels like they don't feel confident in the final product.

I doubt it's bad or anything like Pokémon. Though it is most likely not meeting expectations of the other 3 prime games.

Also compare Nintendo's marketing with Dread compared to Prime 4.

Was listening to the KFGamecast about this at work. Will pick it up at some point, but I still have Metroid Prime Remastered on Switch that I haven't gotten around to yet.

I will buy it on sale for sure. Hopefully we see something like 30% off in a year or something.

Also hopefully we get 2/3 and remastered switch 2 editions

Or you can just play music on your own devices. This is nothing.
