MP4B OST Full Rip

As what should be a surprise to no one, the full OST of Prime 4 has been ripped and put on YouTube by the channel “RezyMania.” Full disclosure: I haven’t checked whether *ALL* the tracks heard in the game are there, but I will assume at this point that it’s at least 99% of them.

**🚨I will warn you: THERE ARE SPOILERS in the thumbnail artwork. So listen at your own risk!🚨**

Holographic MP4B Poster Set

NOTE: This is for North America only.

Nintendo has put up another new holographic poster set on their My Nintendo store, this time featuring key art from Prime 4:

Go here to order it. It’s 1000 Platinum Points.

Don’t have enough points? Go to Missions and start earning points. I personally play Fire Emblem Heroes to farm points. There is an “Auto Battle” option and I just let it do its thing. Good luck!

New Free Fan-Comic: Metroid Hero Mission

In all the hubub regarding Prime 4, I forgot to share this new free Metroid fancomic that released on December First!

You can access the comic by clicking on the image below OR head on over to Omar’s website and scrolling down a bit here: https://theforcemedia.com/

Prime 4 Goods

Got it.

After a long 18 years, we finally have our hands on Metroid Prime 4. I am super excited and will be playing it non stop over the next few days.

Due to the launch Nintendo worldwide has pushed a literal fuckton of new merchandise out and made tons of announcements. Let’s get started.

Nintendo Switch Online profile icons

Starting yesterday, you can now purchase new Prime 4 profile icons. They are 10 Platinum points each. Yes, you need a NSO subscription (or be on a Family Plan) to access these. There are currently 6 new ones available, along with new backgrounds and frames, but that’s not all! After December 10th, they will launch Wave 2 of these with 6 more new icons. There are 4 Waves planned, so make sure you’re farming those Platinum points to collect ’em all!

See the schedule in the image below.

Official Nintendo Merchandise

Yesterday also unveiled an incredible swath of new Metroid-themed merchandise for fans. Currently (and incredibly aggravatingly) this merchandise is exclusive to Japan and Europe, with no announcement for being released in America. Fingers and toes are crossed for this to change.

For you lucky Europeans, here is a link to the UK Pop-up store, but you can change countries in the upper right corner.

Samus Aran by Chogokin

Chogokin is a Japanese brand owned by Bandai Namco and is part of their “Bandai Spirits” department. The name is derived from a fictitious material which first appeared in the Mazinger Z manga and anime and is the name of a line of die-cast metal robot and character toys sold in Japan. The figurine manufacturer announced their new absolutely gorgeous, fully poseable, 8.3″ Prime 4-style Samus Aran figurine. The figurine comes with a weighty pricetag – ¥30,800 which equates to ~$200, but over in the states they are selling it for $290.00 (must be due to tariffs). To note, she is made out of diecast metal, comes with a posing stand, and 7 different left hand poses.

If you live in Japan, you can preorder it here. Americans can actually get their hands on this, preorder here through the IGN store.

Japanese Instruction Manual

Japan is once again showing they care about pushing Metroid by releasing an official Instruction Manual dubbed the Metroid Prime 4 Beyond The World Databook.

They even released a printable version where you can fold it up like an accordion and place it in your Switch case.

Yes, it’s 100% in Japanese, but we may be translating it into English if Nintendo doesn’t release an officially localized version. Stay tuned for that.

That’s it, happy Prime 4 day everyone and enjoy exploring Planet Viewros. See You Next Mission!

Metroid Prime 4 Beyond Launch Day

New NSO Profile Icons

Just yesterday Nintendo revealed new player icons available for both Metroid II: Return of Samus and Metroid Zero Mission. Each icon is purchased for 10 Platinum points through the Nintendo Switch Online app. They will be available until January 5, 2026, so start earning those points! In my experience, I’ve found the easiest way was to do the missions in Fire Emblem Heroes – there are 3500+ points alone that can be earned that way.

Note: You must have a NSO + Expansion Pack subscription in order to get these.

Looking to get a loved one that perfect Metroid gift? Now’s your chance. We want to give back to the community during this momentus occasion in the Metroid fandom as Prime 4 is merely days away from launch! And as a reminder, yes (barring a few exceptions) we do ship worldwide!

As always, we deeply appreciate your following and support for our humble website. Happy Holidays!

MP4B Screens Gallery

Over the last couple of weeks, Nintendo Today has been dropping screenshots almost daily from different areas you will traverse within the planet Viewros. We’re capturing those images and putting them in our Screens gallery. You can see them all here:

https://metroiddatabase.com/game/metroid-prime-4-beyond/#screens

We will continue to update this page as more are released.

Also to note is this Japanese promotional webpage where they provide more information for those who might be on the fence. Since Nintendo of America cares little to provide the general public with an informative page like this, we suggest going there on a browser like Chrome to auto-translate.

MP4B Amiibo Functionality

In yet another example of Nintendo of America’s absolute batshit ignorance and pathetic lack of marketing for Prime 4, as well as not collaborating in a worldwide marketing sync, we’ve had to go to the Japanese Nintendo website to discover the Amiibo functionality in the game. Here’s our breakdown:

Amiibo	Functionality
Samus & Viola (Metroid Prime 4)	Every time you tap to activate this Amiibo, you can check Vi-O-La’s total distance traveled. Once per day, you can increase the rate at which Vi-O-La’s Boost Energy regenerates. You will be able to change the colorway of the Vi-O-La with new skins. Driving 50,000m in-game unlocks a new skin. There are seven different extra skins to unlock.
Samus (Metroid Prime 4)	You can change the background music when riding Vi-O-La in Sol Valley. Pressing Up on the D-Pad allows you to access the radio UI. Once per day, you can activate a shield that will block up to 99 damage. When the shield is activated, Samus’s life is also restored to full.
Sylux (Metroid Prime 4)	After clearing the game, you’ll be able to see the full versions of the movies that are shown in fragments throughout the game. Even if you don’t have this Amiibo, you can watch the full version of the movie by achieving a 100% scan rate and item collection rate. Every time you touch your Amiibo, you’ll hear a random line from Sylux.
All other Metroid series Amiibos	Plays random legacy game sound effects from the Prime series.
