‘Metroid Prime 4’ is released in early December.<\/p>\n
Nintendo<\/p>\n
With less than a month until release, Metroid Prime 4<\/a> has received some very interesting and thorough gameplay breakdowns that look very impressive.<\/p>\n Firstly, there\u2019s the official Nintendo breakdown video (shown below), which goes through each of the new elements the game has to offer.<\/p>\n The biggest part is about Samus\u2019 new psychic abilities, facilitated by a purple jewel attached to her forehead.<\/p>\n These abilities bring all manner of interesting gameplay elements, such as being able to guide shots with your mind in weird and wonderful ways, as well as more involved level-design related puzzles.<\/p>\n As Sylux<\/a> is also the main antagonist now, you also see the return of the Galactic Federation Troopers, and these will help you out as you progress through the game.<\/p>\n Secondly, there\u2019s the new gameplay hands-on from Game Informer (shown below), and the big takeaway is that the mouse controls for the Switch 2 version of the game actually work.<\/p>\n The fact that it\u2019s also hands-on from a third party helps give these mouse controls credibility, and I cannot wait to try them out myself.<\/p>\n We also have confirmation that the open-world section we saw in previous videos is the Sol Valley hub area, where you use the funky bike Vi-O-La<\/a> to traverse.<\/p>\n The game\u2019s world of Viewros<\/a> also looks sumptuous throughout, and the fact that the game supports HDR and a 120Hz performance mode is genuinely amazing to me.<\/p>\n Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is released for Switch 2 and Switch on December 4.<\/p>\n Follow me on X<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> and YouTube<\/a>. I also manage Mecha Damashii<\/a> and am currently featured in the Giant Robots<\/a> exhibition currently touring Japan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"‘Metroid Prime 4’ is released in early December.
