Metroid Prime 4’s Motorcycle Debut & Open-World Shift – New Amiibo Figures Unveiled
On September 12th, Nintendo’s Direct presentation finally revealed Metroid Prime 4’s release date: December 4, 2025. The game will launch on both the Switch 2 and the original Switch. After years of anticipation, Samus Aran is set to make her return. The game promises new powers, a mysterious sidekick named Vaiola, and a classic exploration atmosphere. However, the trailer also featured Samus riding a motorcycle, a notable departure that sparked immediate discussion among fans. The trailer notably showcased Samus performing Akira-style slides on a motorcycle through a desert environment. This visual, while appearing adequate, struck some viewers as “last-gen” when contrasted with the lush jungle depicted in a concurrent Donkey Kong trailer. Fan reactions have been mixed regarding both Samus’s motorcycle and the game’s open-world direction. Additionally, Nintendo confirmed new amiibo figures for Metroid Prime 4. Samus and several companions will be available starting November 6, with the Sylux figure releasing in December. The in-game functionality of these amiibo has not yet been detailed. The viability of these specific design choices, particularly the open-world direction and the motorcycle’s role, will become clearer when Metroid Prime 4 launches next year.
