A Nintendo Direct presentation is reportedly set for mid-September, igniting excitement among fans eager for updates on upcoming titles. This event is particularly noteworthy as it aligns with the 40th anniversary of Super Mario Bros, making it a significant moment for the gaming community. While the specific content of the presentation remains under wraps, speculation suggests that we may finally receive a release date for the highly anticipated Metroid Prime 4.

Recently, an intriguing advertisement for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond was spotted at the Oxford Circus tube station in London, boldly declaring that the game is “out now.” This eye-catching claim has sparked excitement among fans, but the reality is a bit more complicated. According to a Nintendo spokesperson, the ad’s message is incorrect, and the game isn’t actually available yet. Instead, it’s slated for a 2025 release, leaving many to wonder about the implications of such a misleading advertisement.
