Samus has a new soundtrack.

Alongside today’s Metroid Prime 4: Beyond release for the Switch and Switch 2 consoles, music from the game is also available on the Nintendo Music app. Judging by our review and AMA responses, you might need those tunes to keep you entertained while exploring the vast in-game desert.

All your burning Metroid Prime 4 questions, answered.

But first, you gotta ask ‘em. My colleague Andrew Webster and I will host a Metroid Prime 4 AMA at 1PM ET for Verge subscribers here. Get your questions in now but please, nothing spoilery. I don’t want Samus coming after me on her cool bike...or do I?

Metroid Prime 4 excels when it’s actually being Metroid

The latest Metroid nails the mood and action, but its new additions often feel out of place.

Mewtwo has moved to Lumiose City.

While, the latest trailer for Pokémon Legends: Z-A’s upcoming Mega Dimension expansion introduces a new kind of Mega Lucario, the real surprise is that Mewtwo has been added to the game as part of a new side quest that you can play starting today.

The first-ever Switch 2 console discount.

For Cyber Monday, Walmart has knocked a cool $50 off the Switch 2 console bundle that includes a copy of Mario Kart World. Instead of paying $499 (already a savings of $30 compared to buying the $79 game separately), you now get the game for free at $449. This likely won’t last long.
