The opening of Retro Studios’ first-person shooter has Samus and the Federation battling the Space Pirates to secure an artifact.

In its Treehouse: Live stream, Nintendo showcased Metroid Prime 4: Beyond running on the Switch 2. Running in Quality Mode at 4K/60 FPS, it covers the beginning, where the Galactic Federation battles the Space Pirates to secure a sensitive artifact.

Samus must get to it before Sylux, who’s allied with the Pirates. Much of the classic Metroid Prime mechanics are present, from scanning and full 3D maps to transforming into a Morph Ball and traversing through cracks and under hazards. You can still lock on to enemies and slay them with charged shots and missiles.

The biggest new addition on the Switch 2 is mouse controls, which allow for leading targets more precisely. You can switch seamlessly back to the regular controls and activate mouse support by placing the Joy-Con 2 flat.

The first boss fight against Aberax is shown, though it transforms courtesy of a wayward Metroid. This leads to Samus targeting different weak points and using a double jump and the Morph Ball to avoid shockwaves. After defeating it, Sylux appears and accidentally shoots the artifact, triggering a reaction (which could lead to Samus gaining her new Psychic Powers).

Along with Quality Mode, players can also use Performance Mode for 1080p/120 FPS gameplay. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond doesn’t have a release date, but it’s out this year for Nintendo Switch 1 and 2.
