Leaked Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Ad Shows A Curious New Boss Fight
"Nintendo has finally shown a bit more of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, though apparently by accident. Two 15-second commercials for the Switch 2 were found, both unlisted on the Nintendo of America YouTube channel, and one includes a brief glimpse of a boss fight that we haven't seen before. Those hypersensitive to spoilers should turn away. Both unlisted videos, uploaded on October 15, are titled "Power Up Your Holidays," with the first video showcasing the previously seen plant-like boss Carvex."
"We only see it for a few seconds, but Xelios appears to be composed of several hexagonal plates that can shift around, with a green sac and pink core at its center. Presumably, you as Samus Aran will have to blast that pink center to hell whenever this sphere-like boss exposes it. With only slivers of information to go on, there aren't too many conclusions about the story and events of Metroid Prime 4 we can make,"
Two unlisted 15-second Switch 2 commercials uploaded on October 15 briefly show Metroid Prime 4: Beyond footage. One clip showcases plant-like boss Carvex. The other highlights Switch 2 mouse controls and 120fps support while revealing a new spherical boss named Xelios. Xelios appears composed of hexagonal plates with a green sac and a pink core at its center, suggesting a weak point. Early-game enemy Aberax was shown being possessed by a Metroid, gaining green sacs and pink nuclei. Boss names like Aberax, Carvex, Xelios, and villain Sylux share the letter X. The game appears to emphasize the 'Metroid' aspect and possible Metroid-fused enemies.
