Nintendo has revealed that Metroid Prime 4: Beyond will launch this December. More specifically, it hits Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch on December 4, and that same day, a Sylux amiibo will hit stores, too. Before that, though, you can pick up a Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Samus amiibo and a Samus + Vi-0-La (motorcycle) amiibo on November 6. 

Nintendo announced this news during today's Nintendo Direct with a new gameplay trailer showcasing Samus in a desert biome, utilizing a new tool in her arsenal: a motorbike. Its official name is Vi-0-La, and it's the bike featured in the aforementioned amiibo.

Nintendo has a rich history of beloved consoles, from the Super Nintendo to the 3DS, that have filled generations of children with joy. They also released a console called the Virtual Boy. To call this console before its time is an understatement; the Virtual Boy is a retro attempt at virtual reality that left many complaining about strained necks and headaches. Despite that, Nintendo is honoring its legacy and bringing the lineup to the Switch Online Expansion pack for Switch 1 and 2.

The new collection comes with a physical Virtual Boy that you slot your Switch 1 or 2 into. after setting it on a table in front of you, you'll press your head against it to see the screen. If you don't want the big plastic Virtual Boy sitting on your table, Nintendo is also releasing a cardboard model, presumably for cheaper than the big one, and in the style of the Labo VR it experimented with a while ago.

The collection will eventually have 14 games, but in Nintendo fashion, they'll be drip-fed to us slowly over time. The first batch launches early next year, on February 17.

Are you excited for the Virtual Boy to come back? Let us know in the comments!

Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past is getting a remake that serves as a reimagining of the classic RPG.

Dubbed Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, the game features a new 3D art style with character models rendered using real-life dolls to create an overall hand-crafted, diorama-style aesthetic.  According to Square Enix, the game's story has been "enhanced to provide a more streamlined experience." Other quality of life improvements include a redesigned UI. 

The turn-based battles have also been overhauled to be more dynamic, and the vocation system has been updated with a "Moonlighting' mechanic that lets players use two vocations at once. Furthermore, a "Let Loose" ability activates when a character becomes worked up, and a new "Monster Master" vocation introduces a perk called Positive Reinforcement that summons powerful monsters to help in battle. 

Dragon Quest VII was first released in Japan for the PlayStation in 2000 and in North America in 2001. The game was later re-released for the 3DS in 2016, which served as a remake in its own right, so Reimagined is technically the time DQ VII has been overhauled. 

Dragon Quest VII launches on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, Switch, and PC on February 5.
