Metroid Prime 4: Beyond got its first big discount

The most graphically-impressive first-person shooter made for the Nintendo Switch is $20 off at Best Buy. Right now, you can buy the physical version of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond for $39.99 ($20 off). The game looks surprisingly good on the 2017 hardware, but runs way better on the Switch 2 with the additional $10 upgrade pack that unlocks hi-res textures, faster loading times, and Joy-Con mouse mode. If you’re gaming on a Switch 2, getting the discounted game and the digital upgrade pack costs $50 versus its normal $70 price for the Switch 2 Edition version. Yeah, it’s a little confusing. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Where to Buy: $59.99 $39.99 at Best Buy (Switch) The latest Prime game is a departure from the previous entries, the last of which was released all the way back in 2007. Beyond features an open-world design with plenty of associated trappings. There are map markers, collectibles, and a slick motorcycle to take bounty hunter Samus Aran across the huge desert where Beyond’s story unfolds. I agree with our review by 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.
