Fans Publish Unused Metroid Prime 4 Base-Camp Dialogue Showing Pared-Back NPC Banter

Nintendo has not commented on the recordings extracted from the game's files.

Overview

  • YouTuber Bearborg posted a compilation of all base-camp interactions, including unused lines taken from Metroid Prime 4: Beyond’s game files.
  • Reports differ on the volume of audio, with Eurogamer citing over 41 minutes in total and about 34 minutes unused, while VGC and Nintendo Life report more than 30 minutes.
  • The material consists of optional base-camp chatter between Samus and Federation troopers at the Fury Green encampment rather than mandatory story scenes.
  • Examples highlighted include VUE-995 bragging about bench presses, Ezra Duke’s hydration hallucinations, Myles Mackenzie’s childhood experiment, and Nora Armstrong’s snack discoveries.
  • Coverage characterizes the omitted lines as mostly humorous and nonessential, suggesting a deliberate trim that has revived discussion of the game’s tone and its divisive talkative companions.
