You can buy the Switch 1 version for $30 and then buy the upgrade pack for $10. Switch 2 version is $45, so you will end up paying $5 less. You pay even less than that if you buy one of the current eShop card deals at 10-15% off and use that to buy the upgrade.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is a visually strong, combat solid entry that still feels like a weaker Prime game overall. The $29.99 Switch 1 price is notably low, and the Switch 2 Edition can be reached more cheaply by buying the base game and upgrade pack separately, with the upgrade pack also showing up around $9.49 to $9.99. The main knocks are its linear structure, repetitive scanning and backtracking, and a padded fetch quest or crystal grind. A few comments also point to cartridge load speed issues on Switch 2, making the cheaper route more appealing if you want the game without paying full Switch 2 Edition pricing.
Switch owners who plan to upgrade later, because the base version plus upgrade pack can cost less than buying the higher-tier edition outright.
It has strong visuals, combat, and art direction, but several comments describe it as the weakest Prime entry, with linear progression, repetitive scanning, forced backtracking, and padded fetch quests. A few still call it a good game, but the main caution is that it may not live up to the Prime legacy.
Yes. The Switch 1 version can be paired with the Switch 2 upgrade pack, which is listed around $9.49-$9.99, and that can cost less than buying the Switch 2 version outright.
The $29.99 listing is for the Switch 1 version. The Switch 2 version is listed separately at $44.99, so shoppers should toggle the product page if they want the newer edition.
Yes. The Switch 2 Edition cover text indicates it includes the Nintendo Switch game plus the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack, and that setup is playable on both original Switch models and Switch 2 systems.

Just a heads up, it is as bad as the reviews say it is. I got this for about $30 during GameStop Pro week and man.....it's kind of a slog. They promote open world but force linear activity. To artificially lengthen the game you have to farm dumb crystals for hours before you can beat the game. It forces you to backtrack entire zones, like you have to go here, but it's a dead end and it tells you to go to the other place that you already were but it wouldn't trigger the sequence because you didn't go to the dead end first. It's really frustrating, and it's the same two enemies recycled like a million times.
I'm not sure if Retro Studios was held at gunpoint to make this game or just didn't care anymore because everything about this game feels wrong.

This may be YMMV but check your local library and see if they have it available. This was the case for me. I finished it and saved myself $30+. The reason I say this specifically for this game is because it's a pretty bad Metroid game and not really worth keeping.
