Big announcements for Nintendo fans: during a livestream on Tuesday evening, the Japanese company announced "Metroid Prime 4: Beyond" and "The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom". Both games are to be released for the current version of the Nintendo Switch.
In "The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom", Zelda, not Link, will be the main character for the first time. In contrast to "Breath of the Wild" and "Tears of the Kingdom", "Echoes of Wisdom" will otherwise be a more classic spin-off. The game is played from a bird's-eye view, from which you control cute 3D avatars through the game world. Among other things, the aim is to solve puzzles in the environment with the help of magically conjured objects.

"The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom" will be released for the Nintendo Switch on September 26.
"Metroid Prime 4" is coming in 2025
Strictly speaking, 'Metroid Prime 4: Beyond' is not a new announcement: the action game was announced years ago, but there has hardly been any news recently. Meanwhile, Nintendo has launched another title in its Metroid franchise, Metroid Dread. But now there is more than just a sign of life from "Metroid Prime 4" - namely a new trailer and even a release date.
According to the trailer, "Metroid Prime 4" will be released next year, but no further details have yet been given. The Switch is mentioned as the release platform. This is not necessarily a given, as Nintendo is currently working on a successor for the hybrid console. Nintendo itself has already made it clear that the console will be launched by March 2025. According to reports, Nintendo is building on the Switch concept with the new console. However, it is unclear whether the new Switch will also be able to play games for the current Switch.
