Metroid Prime 4: Beyond got its first big discount
The most graphically impressive first-person shooter for the Nintendo Switch is $20 off at Best Buy. From now on, you can purchase the physical version of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond for $39.99 ($20 off). The game looks surprisingly good on 2017 hardware, but runs path better on the Switch 2 with the additional $10 upgrade bundle that unlocks high-resolution textures, faster loading times, and Joy-Con mouse mode.
If you’re playing on a Switch 2, getting the game at a discount and the digital upgrade pack costs $50 compared to its normal price of $70 for the Switch 2 Edition version. Yeah, it’s a little confusing.
The last Prime The game deviates from previous entries, the last of which was released in 2007. Beyond features an open-world design with many associated attributes. There are map markers, collectibles, and a nifty motorcycle to take bounty hunter Samus Aran across the vast desert where Beyond the story unfolds. I agree with our review from Andrew Webster that these new additions feel out of place in the franchise, but I still had a good time and the campaign doesn’t overstay its welcome.
