Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Booking, December 4
Blog Andrew Joseph 15 Sep , 2025 0

We can finally confirm that Metro Prime 4: will be released for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. December 4. This time, Samus was sent to Planet Viewros, where she discovered some interesting psychological abilities, besides the standard psychological abilities. She also competes with Sylux, another bounty hunter who is not satisfied with the Galaxy Federation or Sams. The game is now available for pre-order in both physical and digital versions (See it on Amazon). You can also book some Amiibos that look great. Let's dive.
Pre-order Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
Switch 2
change
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond can be pre-ordered in the original switch and the enhanced version on Switch 2. It comes in physical or digital formats, and if you buy on the switch but later on, you can buy the upgrade package, just like the Legend of Zelda: Legend of Zelda: The Wild and Tears of Kingdom.
Pre-order Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Amiibo
With the game launching next to it are three ridiculous looks Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Amiibo. There was Samus Solo, aiming at her exploded arm. There are Samus on the very cool Vi-O-LA motorcycle you can ride in the game. And the evil Sylux. Nintendo hasn't announced what game features will be scanning for in the games offered by Amiibo, but they'll certainly do something.
Metroid Prime 4: Overcoming Switch 2 Upgrade Pack
Suppose you buy the game for the original switch and then get another Switch 2 later. In this case, you can buy the upgrade package for $9.99 on Nintendo Eshop. This turns the standard switch version (even a physical copy) into the Nintendo Switch version 2 of the game.
The benefits of the upgrade include enhanced resolution, frame rate and loading time, and the ability to aim by using a Joy-Con 2 controller as a mouse. Here is Nintendo's official description of the upgrade details:
“Two display modes give you the choice of how to experience the adventure. Enjoy more details in Quality mode, which runs at 60 frames per second in 4K, while in handheld, runs at 1080p at 1080p or prioritizes the frame rate of higher performance modes in performance mode, runs at 120 frames per second in 1080p, and in 1080p, both 1080p and 720p insible.
Metroid Prime 4: Exceeding the booking bonus?
At the time of writing, there are no pre-order bonuses for purchasing the game. If there is a change, I will update this section.
What is Metroid Prime 4: Beyond?
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is the long sequel to the 2007 Wii game Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. It has a difficult development cycle; after the 2017 E3 announcement, Nintendo announced in 2019 Development is restarting. But six years later, the place finally came out.
This game brings you to the boots of the bounty hunter Samus and sends you to Planet Viewros. There you come with a really cool motorcycle called Vi-O-LA that allows you to pull quickly in large areas. You can jump off the ramp and fight with aliens while riding to get into them in an attack form.
As with previous Metroid Prime games, exploration plays a big role. You can scan aliens and fauna to learn more about them. You will also gain psychological abilities. If you purchased the Switch 2 version, you will get improved graphics and loading times. You can also use the Joy-Con 2 controller as a targeting mouse, which is probably more precise than a stick.
You can do it in our Metroid Prime 4: Beyond the hands-on preview.
