Description
In today's Daily Fix:
Nintendo finally had their big summer showcase, and they came with some heavy hitters. Not only did they FINALLY show off Metroid Prime 4 footage, but they unveiled a brand new Zelda game...where you play as Zelda! Now known as Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, the game has been MIA since its announcement at E3 2017 (remember E3?). The game was originally in development at Bandai Namco, but was brought to developer Retro Studios (the devs behind the original Prime trilogy), who basically started over from scratch. The new Zelda game, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, borrows the art style from the Switch's Link's Awakening remake, and you get to play as Zelda who must save Link this time around. But it isn't all Nintendo news today—Xbox announced Wave 2 of Game Pass games coming later in June.

Square Enix to Shift to Multiplatform Strategy in Company Reboot - IGN Daily Fix: In today's Daily Fix: Square Enix has announced a shift in strategy in relation to what platforms they release their games on. The company has reported an operating loss of nearly $52 million over the past fiscal year, despite launching two major entries in their marquee Final Fantasy franchise. 2023's Final Fantasy XVI and this year's Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth were both PlayStation 5 exclusives, which may have severely limited the number of copies they could sell. Square Enix also announced they will "aggressively purse" releasing games on Xbox and "Nintendo platforms." Nintendo has teased a Switch successor, but no release date has been set. In kind of related news, the original Red Dead Redemption may finally see a PC release. An update to the Rockstar PC gaming launcher site was revealed to make mention of the game and the Undead Nightmare expansion. The game was recently ported to the Switch and PS4, b by IGN.com - Daily Fix (Video)
