@killyourfm Metroid Prime feels a little niche to be the title the switch 2 launches on

@tom I agree. Plus, this will absolutely launch on original Switch as well, because Nintendo likes money.

But I'm curious what you think about the box size? ;-)

@killyourfm haha- I just assumed it was enlarged to make it the significant part of the image

My collection sits on a shelf next to a bunch of variety sized books, so I don't think I mind it (but the switch box is already too large for what it contains tbh)

@tom Oh, absolutely too big as it is! Nintendo should go back to DS-sized cases. But know what's interesting? The Switch game box size is about equal to the size of the tablet display. So if they continue that with Switch 2...

@killyourfm @tom Hope the box size being bigger is an indicator of manuals making a comeback! 🕺🏻

@jnv @tom YES!!! I've been thoroughly enjoying the little full-color manuals in Evercade boxes, and I'm with you. Hope these make a comeback.

@tom @killyourfm Who cares? Metroid needs more time in the spotlight imo. It's one of the best franchises ever.

@killyourfm I truly think Prime 4 will be cross-platform, so I think the logo should have the OG Switch logo in the top corner... but I'm wondering how they'll do a "better on Switch 2" thing.

I know some 3DS games were "better" on New 3DS, and I think those had info boxes on the back??

@jenny753 100%. There's no way Nintendo is going to ignore an install base of ~150million. I'm wondering if Nintendo will take a page from simultaneous PS4 and PS5 releases.

But Jenny, what do you think about the SIZE? :D

@killyourfm Ohhhh like the case could be bigger?

Hm! You know, I don't think they will change the size that much, tbh, but I do think they'll do something to differentiate it.

@killyourfm Metroid Prime 4 is not a Switch game. Switch 2 or maybe it is a dual release like Breath Of Wild was for Wii U and Switch 1.

Written by Seasons of Jason on 2025-01-31 at 17:06

@radio_alergy I definitely think it'll be a dual release. Nintendo likes money and won't ignore ~150million Switch owners.

Curious though, what do you think about the box size?

Written by Ben on 2025-01-31 at 17:09

@killyourfm I think the box size increase that is shown is maybe too much. Maybe the design of the case will change, but I don't know about those proportions.

@killyourfm HOLY CRAP! Metroid Prime 1 is my third fav game ever. XD

Is this official o fan made? This is so insanely hype! Let's go!

@ReverseModule Well Metroid 4 itself has been announced and is planned for a 2025 release, so get hyped.

Curious what you think about the box size as well?

@killyourfm I don't mind the box being bigger. Imo it gives it more "prestige". A smaller case is kinda like a toy but that may be just me.

Also, if that means a proper handbook like I saw someone else mention that I'm 1000% for it. I bought FF VII Rebirth Collector's Edition just so I can have the physical box and everything included in it, while knowing that I will properly play the title on PC.

TLDR: I'm a fan of a bigger box. :)

@ReverseModule Thanks for sharing! I truly hope Nintendo brings back the game manual. A bigger box isn't needed to do that (just look at Evercade and ModRetro Chromatic box sizes), but for my aging eyes it's appreciated haha.

@killyourfm Hahaha I think a bigger manual would also make it seem and feel nicer.

And for MP4 in particular, I hope they have a special edition with a Hyrule Historia sized book. XD

I would honestly pay any amount of money for something like that.

@killyourfm the case on the left is physically closer to me, thus appearing bigger.
