It's been a long time coming, but 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Metroid Prime 4: Beyond ജis still on trac🅺k to release this year according to Nintendo, which is welcome reassurance for anyone left feeling a bit wary thanks to the eight-year wait and development restart that, for a while, was our only real news about the game.
Metroid Prime 4 was first announced as an 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Switch game back at E3 2017 (RIP), at which point all we got was a logo reveal and the promise of it happening. After an extended period of silence, 2019 arrived, and Nintendo confirmed that it was going to "restart development from the beginning" since its "current development progress has not reached the standards we seek" for a new Metroid Prime game. After that, all went quiet until last summer when it finally reemerged with an actual trailer and a 2025 release date. Rejoice!
.Alongside Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Nintendo has also included Donkey Kong Country Returns HD (which released last month), Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition (which is coming on March 20), and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Pokemon Legends: Z-A, which similarly doesn't have a confirmed release date but is scheduled for 2025. As the company hints, these are just the games "that have been announced to date," so there's very little doubt that it has more secrets up its sleeve, especially with the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Switch 2 set to launch this year.
Speaking of which, it's not been confirmed at this point if Metroid Prime 4: Beyond could also be getting a Switch 2 version of some sort. It's definitely coming to the OG Switch, and thanks to the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming console's backwards compatibility, it's more than likely going to be playable on there, too. Nintendo doesn't refer to the aforementioned games as first-party Switch titles unlike the "Nintendo Sꦕwitch first-party software" it mentions earlier in the financial report, but, 🧸of course, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is already out, and as it stands, just on the regular Switch, so this might mean nothing. Even so, between Metroid, Pokemon, and a new console, it's shaping up to be a good year for Nintendo.
I'm GamesRadar+'s Deputy News Editor, working alongside the rest of the news team to deliver cool gaming stories that we love. After spending more hours than I can count filling The University of Sheffield's student newspaper with Pokemon and indie game content, and picking up a degree in Journalism Studies, I started my career at GAMINGbible where I worked as a journalist for over a year and a half. I then became TechRadar Gaming's news writer, where I sourced stories and wrote about all sorts of intriguing topics. In my spare ✨time, you're sure to find me on my Nintendo Switch or PS5 playing through story-driven RPGs like Xenoblade Chron🦩icles and Persona 5 Royal, nuzlocking old Pokemon games, or going for a Victory Royale in Fortnite.
