After years of anticipation, Samus Aran returns in Metroid Prime4: Beyond, rebuilt by Retro Studios and finally arriving on the original Nintendo Switch.
Dispatched to the mysterious planet Viewros, Samus faces her rival Sylux and a new alien threat while uncovering psychic abilities that expand her arsenal beyond the Power Suit. Explore vast interconnected biomes, scan alien lifeforms, and master the new ViOLa combat bike for highspeed traversal and vehicular combat.
On the original Switch, the game runs at 30fps in handheld and up to 900p docked, with slightly longer load times compared to the Switch2 Edition. However, all story content, exploration, and gameplay systems are fully intact. Players who later upgrade to Switch2 can purchase a Upgrade Pack to unlock enhanced visuals, faster performance, and JoyCon2 precision aiming.
