Metroid Prime fans have certainly had the opportunity to practice their patience. Announced shortly after the launch of the Switch, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond won’t ultimately arrive until after the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, a wait of over eight years. That said, the game does exist, it is coming this year, and, in fact, I recently got to play it at a Nintendo Switch 2 preview event (you can check out my general impressions of the hardware here).

How do you follow up on the most successful racing game of all time?

The Nintendo Switch has exceeded most everybody’s wildest expectations, moving over 150 million units on the way to (most likely) breaking console sales records set by Sony’s PlayStation 2.

Of course, sometimes the appeal of new hardware isn’t obvious at first glance.

Time for my annual reminder that my kid looks, sounds, moves, acts, and may, in fact, *be* Home-Alone-age Macaulay Culkin via some time-travel chicanery.
As someone beyond burnt out on Star Wars, #StarWarsOutlaws looks pretty cool. Totally ignoring the license, if they can successfully combine open-world with Uncharted-style missions, they'll have something pretty unique on their hands.
There are very few games anymore where I just let the mechanics take me. Where I'm, like, "Yeah, this is manipulating my brain, but I like it." Diablo and Diablo-likes are on the short list of games that still do that. So, yeah, I keep kinda giving Diablo IV that side glance.
