Nintendo details 'Metroid Prime 4' in new overview trailer
- On Dec. 4, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond launches for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 after the reviewer played roughly 90 minutes at Nintendo UK HQ, Windsor on Nintendo Switch 2.

- A desert open hub introduces Vi-0-La, Samus Aran's motorcycle likened to Epona, and Myles MacKenzie, a comically bumbling engineer, with the reviewer eager to explore Nintendo's 2025 lineup.
