Metroid Prime 4 is coming out on December 4 for both the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. The version for the new console is more expensive, which isn’t surprising since Nintendo Switch 2 games are launching at higher prices by default.
This is part of a larger price hike affecting Nintendo and the rest of the industry. Nintendo raised the price of its hardware this year, which slowed console sales, especially after the release of the more powerful Switch 2. Naturally, many players are frustrated to see new games pushing into the $70 to $80 range.
