Nintendo has taken a significant step forward in promoting its next-generation hardware with the rollout of playable Nintendo Switch 2 kiosks at retail locations across the United States.
Among the latest highlights is the debut of a Metroid Prime 4: Beyond demo, giving fans an early opportunity to experience the long-awaited title ahead of its full release. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, the newest entry in the acclaimed Metroid franchise, is slated for release on the Nintendo Switch 2.
Developed by Retro Studios, this ambitious project marks the triumphant return of Samus Aran in a brand-new galactic adventure.
Following its official unveiling, anticipation for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond has continued to build, especially after its showcase at industry events such as Gamescom. As part of Nintendo’s strategic in-store promotion, select retailers such as Walmart now feature hands-on Nintendo Switch 2 kiosks, where players can sample upcoming games.
The addition of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition to these demo units represents the first time US gamers can access an in-person preview of the title.
According to firsthand reports from attendees, the demo session is limited to 20 minutes.
One early participant shared that they completed the available prologue content in roughly 13 minutes, noting, “The demo includes a brief mission set at a Federation base under assault by Space Pirates before Samus travels to a new planet.
It appears to be the same demo that was playable at Gamescom.” These demo kiosks have previously hosted high-profile games such as Donkey Kong Bananza, reflecting Nintendo’s ongoing commitment to providing early access and building excitement for its key upcoming releases.
However, as of now, Nintendo has not announced any plans to release a Metroid Prime 4: Beyond demo on the eShop; the in-store kiosk remains the sole avenue for players to experience the game prior to its official launch. For enthusiasts eager to explore Samus’s next adventure firsthand, visiting a local retailer equipped with a Nintendo Switch 2 kiosk offers a unique preview.
As the Metroid Prime 4: Beyond release date approaches, Nintendo’s hands-on demos are set to drive anticipation and deliver an exclusive taste of one of the Switch 2’s most awaited titles.
