Metroid Prime 4: Beyond was revived in a Nintendo Direct on June 18, 2024. The game is set to release on Nintendo Switch in 2025.
The visual quality of Metroid Prime 4 appears to be a significant upgrade compared to Metroid Prime Remastered. While both games share the same 900p internal rendering resolution, Metroid Prime 4 showcases more complex character designs, dynamic lighting, and improved particle effects6. The game's graphics have been described as "modernized" and "impressive," setting a new visual standard for the series on the Nintendo Switch.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond reportedly runs at 720p resolution, as analyzed by Nintendo World Report1. The gameplay sequences featured in the trailer all ran at this resolution, effectively confirming that it was captured on the original Nintendo Switch and not on its more capable successor.
