Metroid Prime 4 has been in development for a long time, and at this point it might as well target the next generation of Nintendo consoles.
Metroid Prime 4 supports mouse aiming with the new and revamped Joy-Cons on Switch 2.
Because of the new high greedy Nintendo prices, people will play the game on an emulator on the pc or Mac anyway.

Keep bringing that up. You are doing a good job. Because N64 was a huge success for Nintendo and they didn't get demolished by the PS1 that gen, right?
I mean ultimately it means you have to play with a flat surface. Great for those people who play games at their desks on computer monitors, less so for those of us who like to sit back on the sofa and play.
But nice that the option is there at least.
I've held some pretty uncomfortable mice in my day. I'll have to try it out to see, but I'm sure they've done extensive testing with it. As long as the width is stable enough that it's not gonna tip over everytime you try to move it, then it should be ok. Plus it's a great option for those who prefer mouse style aiming.
Also, there is no way there arent already third party options ready for release date where you just pop in the joy con in a more usual mouse shell, but it doesnt necessarily look uncomfortable even without that
Yeah, I said the same thing. If the mouse doesn't at least support your hands resting arch position you are in big trouble. I don't see how this would.
you don't think Nintendo tested this feature? They just decided to slap on an optical sensor and be done with it?
I been asking this for long time and nintendo is about to make all fps a mouse standard game, I hope
It can be played like a real PC shooter when you’ll soon be able to emulate it on an actual PC lol
As long as they are smart enough to do most of the work first before releasing the emulator and then putting it in a decentralised location and repo.
The final Nintendo Switch 1 Direct just gave us our best look yet at Metroid Prime 4: Beyond—and it’s stunning. But here’s the big question: Is this actually a Switch 2 game? Join the NVC crew as they break down the new trailer, analyze Samus’ psychic abilities and the jungle planet Viewros, and debate whether this is a cross-gen release or a last-minute upgrade for Nintendo’s next console.Plus, we’ll discuss why Metroid Prime 4’s long development cycle (and lack of a release date) has us suspicious. Is Nintendo holding it back for the Switch 2? Or is this truly the Switch 1’s final masterpiece?
Metroid prime 4 looks so dated and bland. I hate it when fanatics can't be objective because it sends the wrong message about what's good so Nintendo continues down the same wrong path. The short gameplay of metroid I've seen is enough to convince me that the game is rubbish and not worth full price. Im hoping Nintendo doesn't continue with low quality and bland looking games for the switch 2 and only relying on games brand name to sell. The switch 2 is a new generation where it's possible to have very powerful handhelds or midrange handhelds that can handle modern games with very good performance. Switch 2 shouldn't have games that resemble switch 1 games or even have performance issues like switch 1. I've seen a lot of games on ps3 that looks a lot better than metroid prime 4 and the ps3 was released 20 years ago.
Look i get it Switch is ancient, i hate that fact and i'm so sick of the console and can't wait to get rid of it finally for Switch 2 but you can't deny that this game isn't impressive looking running on such an outdated hardware. We'll find out soon if exclusive Switch 2 games will look just like Switch 1 remasters or something better and more, but judging by that short Mario Kart teaser... ehhhh... hmm i don't know.
All i would like from the switch 2 is to be able to run modern games like gta 6, assassins creed shadows cyberpunk and others with performance similar to having medium to high settings on a pc at a stable 30 to 45fps locked and having the ability to buy all previous Nes games from the original to the latest switch without renting. I would also like Nintendo to have Nintendo online to be as good as Xbox live and psn with a proper party system and no silly friend codes
It doesn't help that they don't use the latest tech, and then drag it out for 8 years when it should be more like 5-6 tops.. especially being a portable device which gets outdated quicker.
It's not a Switch 2 game it's a Switch 1 game. It will be a cross gen game like BOTW was. Switch 2 version will have better framerate, resolution and texture filtering.
I wasn't really excited by the trailer editing and no solid date given but the gameplay looks great and environments look super atmospheric. Retro doing wonders on the Switch again.
"it's stunning"
LOL the bar is really REALLY low for Nintendo. Stunning, sure...for 2010!

Following the major video game showcase reveals over the last weeks, games like Astro Bot and Doom: The Dark Ages are highly sought-after.
I went from being unexcited about anything that wasn't GTA vi to having a fully stocked end of the year especially after that direct
Xbox has a ton of games lined up. I was hoping more would be coming to PS5 but I think I’m going to finally subscribe to PC Game Pass since no matter what, it will still be a better deal. If MS makes a handheld, I’ll buy a console, if not I’ll play on PC.
You could buy a steamdeck if you actually have a pc library. And If you don't have a steam account I feel sorry for u when you claim to own a gaming pc
would make for a great launch title
Well Nintendo has regularly done this, although mostly with Zelda. They announce their next big adventure on the current console and ends up being on both the old console and the new one around launch at the same time.
does nintendo even do iterations now? seems like their last few consoles are all completely different and each one is looking for some kind of trick or gimmick. like will their next "console" be and actual console and then maybe they release another portable like they have done in the past or will they stick with this portable format from here on out? i dunno the answer - could go either way i guess. History says they'll try something new and different again, but the Switch has been successful. the bummer about portables though is the sacrificing of processing power to make the battery decent while keeping the price reasonable. i pretty much flat out forgot about my swtich completely after my ps5 and series x came home.
That would be a bummer, at least from the standpoint of the value I've gotten from my Switch. They really should never have teased this game. It's been 6 years since initial development began, and 4 years since being rebooted. Still haven't heard a peep.
It was one of the reasons I bought the Switch, so it would be a shame if it was Switch 2 only. Nintendo went hard at the Switch launch, then went back to mainly making just...regular ol' Nintendo games. Which is great for those that are into that kinda thing, but I had such high hopes for where Nintendo was going. A lot of the last bits of value for me are in a handful of games now, MP4 being one of 'em.
Can't see myself buying a Switch 2, and certainly not until it had been out long enough for me to see what games *actually* launched, as well as if they cut down on the number of simpler 2D titles they charge $60 for. I'm glad Nintendo clearly serves their core audience in ways that make them happy, but it is clear these days that I'm no longer among them. Please, put MP4 on the Switch, even if just cross-gen lol.
A metroid prime 4 launch title for the new switch would absolutely be a sales beast.
