I and other members of the press were able to play Metroid Prime 4: Beyond at early preview events last week, and I had a great time with the game. I think Nintendo has another excellent first-party title to close out 2025, judging by what I played.
But since the previews dropped yesterday, the discussion has been dominated not by Samus's new abilities or the game's gorgeous graphics on Switch 2, but by a new NPC named Myles Mackenzie. Take this IGN video, for example, where he's called "a potentially fatal flaw."
