Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is set to launch on December 4 for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, and details about the game's amiibo functionalities have been unveiled. Three new amiibo figures—Samus Aran, Samus on the Vi-O-La motorbike, and antagonist Sylux—offer unique in-game benefits. Notably, using the Sylux amiibo allows players to unlock a secret movie after completing the main story, revealing more about Sylux's character and motivations against the Galactic Federation and Samus. For those preferring a more traditional path, the movie can also be accessed by achieving a 100% scan rate in the game. The Samus amiibo provides health restoration and musical changes while riding the Vi-O-La, which enhances travel across the game’s expansive environments. Older Metroid amiibo can also be used for additional sounds to enrich the experience.
