Topic: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond

theres a rumour already going around that prime 5 is being developed at the same time as 4, and four is where they are experimenting with mouse controls so five can be perfect. it might be true, since 2 & 3 were developed at the same time, and prime 4 doesnt seem big enough to take eight years 😂 i hope its true tho, the more metroid the more happiness! soo excited to be playing four with stunning visuals.

While watching some Prime 2 footage recently I noticed that skeleton Dark Samus (or whatever you would call it) also has 3 eyes, so there might be a connection there.

Just preordered the amiibos the motorcycle looks incredible.

I wonder what will be more successful the Switch 2 or Switch 1 version of this game. Switch 2 is the newer format but a tiny userbase compared to the original Switch. I guess it will depend on how well it runs on original Switch and how much better the Switch 2 version is. There may also be a price factor in that Switch 2 owners are more likely to pay high prices where as Switch 1 owners are accepting their console is end of life and may not want to put that investment in. If you are a Switch 2 owner too who wants to play both versions to see how they compare I guess you have to buy the Switch 1 version and the upgrade separately.

@BonzoBanana I wonder if Nintendo will report on the Switch 1 versus 2 sales or if they will simply say 'Metroid 4 sales' and not differentiate. I'm guessing they won't tell us. It's also a slightly arbitrary distinction since there will likely be plenty of people who buy the Switch 1 version because they have no choice, buy a Switch 2 in a year or 2, and then buy the $10 Metroid S2 upgrade because why not.
