He honestly seems like he's going to be very much a minor character and not some major element of the game as folks feared. I get the vibe he's way less of a mark against the game than folks are bracing for.

I met the guy!

Gosh, Prime 4 looks so nice, both handheld and on a 4K TV.
December 2, 2025 at 3:53 PM
The joycons have the tech, the devs just didn't program support
December 2, 2025 at 3:28 PM
That's great, and makes the UK event avoidance of the term all the weirder in hindsight.

Nope, slightly early physical retail copy.
December 2, 2025 at 2:36 PM
So you can connect it yo the console, but if the game accepts it as an input is another question
December 2, 2025 at 2:27 PM
Yep, but im not holding breath for Nintendo to have it as a secret feature

You can remap controls

I'll try grab a video in a min

Oh, non mouse motion is 100% an option.

I have not tested with pro controller yet but suspect it's supported. Joycon motion is.
December 2, 2025 at 2:06 PM
Can you elaborate?

You can use left hand to walk and right hand motion to aim.
December 2, 2025 at 1:59 PM
Yes, the animation showed placing the right one down. I tried in gameplay and only right worked. Iam sure, I've literally got the game in my hands lol
December 2, 2025 at 1:58 PM
For those asking i have tried, and the left Joy -Con doesn't work as a mouse.

So felt the screenshot I shared left room for doubt, but I've tested and left JoyCon simply doesn't activate mouse mode. Sorry.

Ignore above, there are additional settings.

Show helmet in HUD, turn off HUD swaying in first and third person, subtitle background, camera sensitivity and inversion, mouse sensitivity and inversion, motion control when locked on, free aim threshold, auto mouse mode, flick motion to morph ball.
December 2, 2025 at 1:55 PM
Full settings menu.
December 2, 2025 at 1:48 PM
Sorry left-handed gamers, Metroid Prime 4 only supports mouse pointer mode via the right Joy-Con.

Imagining you had to do an IRL version of that Yakuza side quest to get it.

I'm really sad that we don't get manuals anymore. Game boxes are such empty voids these days.

[Myles MacKenzie voice] Laura, try sliding your finger through the slit in the plastic wrap, I bet you could open the box to get the cartridge if you tear that off first.
