This week, the Pure Nintendo Podcast delivered comprehensive first impressions of one of the most highly anticipated games of the year: Metroid Prime 4.
Hosted by longtime Nintendo enthusiasts Jemma and Kirk, the podcast welcomed guest Josh from Nintendo Maniacs for an in-depth discussion about their hands-on experience with the latest entry in the beloved Metroid series. After more than 18 years since the release of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption for the Wii, fans finally have the opportunity to dive back into Samus Aran’s world.
Initially announced in 2017, Metroid Prime 4 has had a lengthy development journey, with production restarting under Retro Studios—a move that raised expectations given the studio’s celebrated work with prior Metroid Prime titles.
The latest installment was released for Nintendo Switch, further solidifying the platform’s library with another high-profile exclusive. During their conversation, the hosts praised Metroid Prime 4 for its meticulously crafted atmosphere, dynamic music, and striking graphical fidelity, emphasizing how the game pushes the Nintendo Switch’s hardware capabilities.
"Players can expect audio and visuals that set a new benchmark for the series," the hosts remarked, noting that intense boss encounters challenge even longtime Metroid veterans.
In addition, the trio discussed the inclusion of a mysterious companion, an element that has sparked conversation across the Metroid fan community. Beyond Metroid, the episode highlighted additional Nintendo news, including a showcase of upcoming downloadable content for Ball x Pit, a quick overview of the classic racer Kirby Air Riders, and a discussion on the latest Dragon Quest remakes.
All of this comes amidst continued excitement surrounding the Nintendo Direct presentations and updates on the eShop. The Pure Nintendo Podcast has established itself as a trusted source for Nintendo fans, consistently offering thoughtful analysis and regular content over more than 100 episodes.
Listeners are encouraged to tune in weekly, as the podcast provides up-to-date coverage on Nintendo Switch releases, developer milestones, and community highlights. As the Metroid series enjoys renewed momentum, Metroid Prime 4 stands out as a monumental release for both the franchise and the Nintendo Switch platform.
With Retro Studios at the helm and strong critical reception from community leaders like the Pure Nintendo Podcast, the future remains bright for Nintendo’s iconic bounty hunter.
