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.

  • Buying the Switch 1 version and then purchasing the Switch 2 upgrade pack can lower the effective cost versus buying the Switch 2 version outright.

  • A promotional credit was applied immediately after purchase, which reduced the out-of-pocket price for at least one buyer.

  • The Switch 2 Edition cover text indicates the upgrade pack makes the game playable on both original Switch variants and Switch 2 systems.

  • The upgrade pack price on Amazon was reported as $9.49, adding another potential savings lever beyond the base deal.

  • The game includes repetitive enemy recycling and scanning-focused gameplay that can make it feel poorly designed.

  • The listing may show the Switch 1 version, so buyers need to toggle carefully to ensure they are selecting the Switch 2 version.

  • The game can feel like a slog due to forced linear progression, long crystal farming, and frustrating backtracking.

  • Load speeds on a cartridge were reported as poor on Switch 2, with the buyer wishing they had chosen the Switch version instead.

Not a bad game. Generally favorable so above average. At full price it likely leaves a sour taste if you're not on the high end of that spectrum. (All from MC) I haven't played it, but I'm sure as heck not going to listen to random people on Slickdeals who never played it. 😅

It's so frustrating that they will do this for physical all the time...but much less often for digital.
If you can cut the price in half for a physical product you need to ship and deliver, why not for a digital code you only need to E-Mail?
It's a good thought, but retail shelf space is limited. Warehouses cost money. The reason physical games go on steep discounts is because stores/suppliers don't want to keep bleeding money holding onto something that isn't selling well.

The motivation just isn't the same for digital. There are no limits, warehouses, or store shelves involved there.

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.
Yeaa but you don't get the faster cartridge speeds of the switch 2 and the cool looking red cartridge. Thats one of the main selling points of buying a switch 2 physical game over a digital or og switch one.

According to deku deals, Breath of the Wild was 50% off about a year after release. And it's one of the most popular switch games of all time.
That shitshiw of a site is completely inaccurate. It also ONLY lists sells where Andrew can make a commission so theres a lot left off.

This is the worst Prime in the series by far. Extremely linear, simplistic zones, puzzles requiring scanning every mundane object in sight, then -many- forced hours of silent driving over rocks in a barren desert . Not to mention the cheesy NPC storylines/dialogue and weak villain backstory. The visuals, combat, and artstyle are great, but this was such a disappointment. I'd recommend Metroid Prime 1 remastered over this for any newcomer.

Original Metroid Prime Remastered or this? I haven't even seen the Remastered version go down this low and it's been out for a long time.
The original remastered is a far better game than this. It has its moments, but it doesn't live up to the legacy of Prime, imo.

This is the game to buy on Prime Day for Switch 1 owners. I can't see it ever dropping much lower with how Nintendo is.

What about buying this and then downloading the switch 2 upgrade pack for 9.99?
Upgrade pack is $9.49 on Amazon. So even better.

Honestly the load speeds weren't great on cartridge for switch 2, only digital. I wish i'd just bought the switch version and I wouldn't even have bought a switch 2 as this was the game I was buying it for mostly. At least in have starfox tomorrow and OoT remake in 2 years.
