Metroid Prime 4 and Switch 2: Latest Updates from Pure Nintendo Magazine Issue 70

Pure Nintendo Magazine (PNM) celebrates its 70th issue by spotlighting one of the most anticipated releases in Nintendo’s storied franchise: Metroid Prime 4.

Since its initial announcement more than eight years ago, Metroid Prime 4 has consistently ranked among the most eagerly awaited titles for the Nintendo Switch.

Although fans will have to exercise a bit more patience, Nintendo has confirmed that Samus Aran’s highly anticipated adventure will still launch on the original Switch hardware, ensuring that the current generation of fans won’t be left behind as new systems debut. Metroid Prime 4 was first revealed during a Nintendo Direct in 2017, instantly sparking excitement and speculation in the gaming community.

In an era where franchises like The Legend of Zelda and Mario continue to receive regular entries, the extensive gap between Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and its successor has only fueled anticipation.

Nintendo’s commitment to bringing Metroid Prime 4 to the current Nintendo Switch honors long-time players who have supported the platform since launch, while also opening the door to a wider audience as Nintendo transitions toward its next-generation hardware, widely referenced among industry insiders as "Switch 2." Alongside the latest Metroid update, the PNM team has compiled their top picks for Switch 2 launch games, offering early impressions of the forthcoming hardware based on hands-on sessions and developer statements.

The magazine also delivers comprehensive reviews of the newest titles released by Nintendo and its third-party partners, maintaining its reputation as a go-to source for informed analysis and passionate gaming discourse. In the current issue, PNM continues to engage its robust readership through signature features like Archive Anthology, which celebrates classic Nintendo titles, and Switching on a Budget, highlighting affordable options in the Nintendo eShop.

The editorial team extends deep appreciation to its community, acknowledging that PNM’s enduring presence is made possible by loyal subscribers and the broader Nintendo fanbase. Readers are invited to participate in the magazine’s development through interactive segments.

Regular columns such as The Question Block encourage feedback and discussion, while Nintendo fan art submissions remain a staple of every issue.
