Metroid Prime 4 Arrives Unexpectedly
The long-awaited Metroid Prime 4 has arrived, this time not with an official announcement, but rather unexpectedly. Two short promotional videos, shared unlisted on Nintendo’s YouTube channel, have truly stirred up fans of the series. The new gameplay footage reveals the first appearance of a never-before-seen boss, Carvex.
Metroid Prime 4 Gameplay Videos Revealed Early
Two promotional videos, hidden in Nintendo’s shared list, have gone viral on social media, garnering thousands of views within a few hours. Each 15-second video is a short promotional video for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. In the first video, the player faces off against the new enemy, Carvex, in an intense boss battle. The footage blends the classic Metroid Prime atmosphere with modern graphics.
The second short video shows the same scene, this time with a different control scheme. Instead of using the Switch 2 in docked mode, the player appears to have increased aiming sensitivity with the Joy-Cons. This detail suggests the series will become more interactive with next-generation control systems.
Fans were divided after the images surfaced. Some users criticized the videos, saying they “looked like gameplay from the GameCube era,” while others were pleased that the classic Metroid Prime spirit had been preserved. Despite their short length, both videos are believed to contain significant insights into the series.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is scheduled to release on December 4th. However, this early leak appears to have accelerated the game’s launch. While Nintendo has yet to make an official announcement, it’s anticipated that the trailers will be made public soon.
The leaks were reportedly shared by a user named “BackwardsCompat” on the Famiboards forum. This development came as a small but exciting surprise for fans of the series who have been patiently waiting for years. It appears Metroid Prime 4 is finally getting ready to break its long silence.
