Why Metroid Prime 4’s Art Matters More Than Graphics

Back in 2017, the announcement of Metroid Prime 4 was made, implying that work on the sequel started even before anyone thought about the Nintendo Switch 2. This suggests that Metroid Prime 4 was originally intended to operate on the initial Nintendo Switch hardware. As the possibility of the Nintendo Switch 2 became more imminent, it’s probable that the developers started taking advantage of the enhanced capabilities of the Switch 2 for a superior visual experience. This has led some fans to express dissatisfaction with the graphics of the original Switch version, as the difference is quite striking. However, it’s important to remember that Metroid Prime series isn’t all about its graphics, and it’s likely that Metroid Prime 4 will adhere to the same principle.
