Samus’s Unseen Shenanigans: Over 30 Minutes of Cut Dialogue in Metroid Prime 4!
In a stunning plot twist that could only be rivaled by a soap opera reveal, savvy fans have unearthed more than 30 minutes of cut dialogue stranded within the game files of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. This treasure trove of audio bliss, or blunder, is thought to be related to Samus’s riveting chit-chat with the game’s colorful roster of marines. Conversations that could have gone down at base camp during the story, now serve as a forgotten footnote in video game history.
Charming Chats or Conversational Catastrophes?
One might ponder why this delightful dialogue was slapped with the dreaded ‘cut’ label. Spoiler alert: most of it leans heavily into the realm of the comical—perhaps a sign of an impending comedic apocalypse, or maybe just a hasty decision at the final edit. It includes jaw-dropping moments like robot VUE-995 bragging about his impressive bench press capabilities, Duke having a hydration-induced hallucination that’s sure to give dream interpreters a run for their money, Myles reminiscing about that one time he tried to create a volcano in his mom’s kitchen, and Armstrong’s astonishing revelation about the wonders of sci-fi culinary delights like Phraxian Jerky. Yes, you read that right—Jerky from outer space!
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – A Tale of Mixed Reviews
Released earlier this month for the Nintendo Switch universe (and its slightly enhanced sibling, the Nintendo Switch 2), Metroid Prime 4: Beyond has treated players to a brigade of chatty NPCs. Opinions on these virtual companions are as divided as a family at Thanksgiving over pineapple on pizza. Critics and players alike have expressed a variety of somewhat perplexing feelings towards them. Is it endearing? Is it bothersome? Tune in next time to find out!
Commercially speaking, the game’s results are still ensconced within thick clouds of uncertainty. Launch physical sales in the UK—a territory that markets Nintendo games about as well as a cat in a dog show—were reportedly 15% lower than its predecessor, Metroid Dread. However, whispers in the digital sales alley suggest the launch may have been more successful, proving that the digital domain is still the Wild West of video games.
Somewhat Satisfied Or Just Sad?
In a riveting critique, one inevitable review noted that: “Every time a metal space door swings open, unveiling a breathtaking alien landscape, or an explosive countdown triggers a frantic escape reminiscent of a sweaty late-night taco run, Metroid Prime 4 rekindles those nostalgic, moody vibes from previous titles. Yet, as the narrative unfurls like a poorly preserved map, the overall experience begins to flatten into a pancake of mediocrity. Who knew that storytelling could resemble an episode of a reality show that ran out of ideas?”
