    Metroid Prime 4 not at Switch 2 Direct but might be seen this week says source

    Cliff Notes – Metroid Prime 4 not at Switch 2 Direct but might be seen this week says source

    • Recent speculation suggests that Metroid Prime 4 may not be featured in the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, contrary to earlier claims of its presence.
    • There are indications of a separate showcase for the original Switch, where Metroid Prime 4 could potentially be revealed, as it is expected to launch this year.
    • Current discussions around Nintendo’s strategy hint at a focus on new titles for the Switch 2, with uncertainty surrounding the release of Pokémon Legends Z-A and its compatibility with the new console.

    Fans are due an update on Samus’ next adventure (Nintendo)

    A week after it was claimed Metroid Prime 4 will definitely be at the Nintendo Switch 2 showcase, another rumour says the exact opposite.

    While there are plenty of theories on what could be shown during next week’s Nintendo Direct for the Nintendo Switch 2, it’s unlikely any concrete info will leak ahead of schedule.

    That hasn’t stopped the rumour mill, though. Just last week, YouTuber Kiwi Talkz boldly claimed that Metroid Prime 4: Beyond will have a big presence at the Switch 2 Direct, despite it so far only being confirmed for the original Switch console.

    This did always seem like a safe bet though, with last year’s trailer sparking theories of Metroid Prime 4 receiving a dedicated Switch 2 version. However, another insider is suggesting that won’t be the case.

    In a new video by eXtas1s (who has typically shared mostly Xbox related rumours), he claims to have heard from his sources that Metroid Prime 4 will be absent from the Switch 2 Direct – although he’s unable to offer any explanation for why that might be.

    On the face of it, it seems very unlikely, but there are also current rumours of a separate showcase for the original Switch happening this week.

    If this is the case then it’s possible Metroid Prime 4 will be shown off there and not in the Switch 2 Direct next week. The game is supposed to be out this year, so if it’s not at next week’s event it’s overdue another showcase.

    A new preview this week would also help to explain why there’s a second Direct at all, since the other games that are expected for the original Switch are smaller titles, such as a long rumoured Kirby: Planet Robobot remaster.

    Which Nintendo first party games are confirmed for Switch?

    Metroid Prime 4 and Pokémon Legends Z-A are the only two first party games (that we currently know of) Nintendo has planned for the original Switch this year, but while it’s widely speculated they’ll both receive separate Switch 2 versions, that’s never been outright confirmed.

    In fact, Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb previously suggested no Pokémon games will be launching for Switch 2 this year, ruling out Legends Z-A as a cross gen title.

    The most recent trailer for Metroid Prime 4 looked so good some suspected it of being Switch 2 footage. But as much as Mario Kart 9 and Metroid Prime 4 seems a logical launch line-up for the new console, it may be that the latter is only playable on the Switch 2 via backwards compatibility, albeit with some graphical and/or performance boosts.

    Do you think Metroid Prime 4 will have its own Switch 2 version? (Nintendo)
