YES! IT'S HAPPENING! Many of us were waiting for Samus Aran to return and, indeed, she did so by the big door with Metroid Prime 4 Beyond! Undoubtedly, it was a very pleasant surprise, although the initial joy was slightly tainted with a bittersweet taste when we realized that, in fact, its release will not be in 2024, but in 2025. However, its mere presence is synonym with good news, because we had not heard about the game for a long time after Nintendo decided to replace the studio responsible for Retro Studios. Initially announced during E3 2017, the game started production as normal, but Nintendo didn't like what they saw, so they decided to start from scratch in 2019, this time with Retro Studios at the helm. It's been 5 years since that day and it's the first time we've seen such a straightforward gameplay trailer in a long time.

Well, it was to be expected that Metroid Dread would perform really well on the Switch. As always, Nintendo's first-party games hardly ever have any technical hiccups, and this new offering is no exception. Have you had a chance to play it yet? Let me know in the comments!

It's celebration time! Yesterday, August 6, marked the 35th anniversary of Metroid. That's right, it was in 1986 when Samus Aran's adventures began on the Famicom, taking players to a very lonely world full of dangers. While the Metroid series enjoyed quite a promising period at the beginning, with a trilogy between NES, Game Boy and SNES, once Super Metroid hit the market, the series began a long period of silence, something that would become usual. However, in 2002 we saw the release of Metroid Prime, a title that revitalized interest in the property, and brought the bounty hunter into 3D. The Metroid series has also played a pivotal role in the history of video games. Thanks to the great freedom and exploration system that the games in the series have provided, many developers were inspired by this level design. The clearest example was Koji Igarashi, who transformed Dracula's castle in Symphony of the Night into a location as complex as Zebes or SR388. Without titles like Super
