Metroid Prime 4 Past is extra mature than your common Nintendo-published first-party recreation. So gamers had been anticipating some violence, sci-fi monsters, and weapons. What they may not have been anticipating was for therefore lots of the puzzle recreation’s doorways to appear like, umm, effectively…
As with previous Metroid video games from Nintendo, plenty of Prime 4‘s presentation is impressed by H.R. Giger’s designs from the basic sci-fi film Alien. That is particularly evident in Metroid Prime 4‘s first giant stage, Volt Forge, which comprises plenty of Giger-esque structure and environmental particulars. However different elements of Prime 4, just like the well-known artist, appear impressed by different elements of human anatomy, like vaginas. What I’m making an attempt to say is there are plenty of doorways on this recreation that may make your extra prudish grandparents uncomfortable.
“Lotta vaginas on this recreation,” bluntly, however precisely, declared critic Aidan Moher on Bluesky. And he’s proper! Within the early parts of Prime 4‘s marketing campaign, you’ll encounter a couple of totally different doorways that appear impressed by vulvas. Followers on-line at the moment are sharing screenshots of doorways that look very vaginal on-line. Some are giant, and a few are small. Certainly one of these doorways even popped up on a subreddit devoted to highlighting objects and places that look a bit like vaginas.
Why is all of the discourse on Metroid Prime 4 about Miles and never how all of the doorways are extraordinarily vaginal? Simply curious. pic.twitter.com/rLRXbypR92

It’s all fairly exhausting to unsee as soon as it’s been identified to you. And truthfully, I feel most individuals will decide up on the vagina doorways with none assist. I’d pay some huge cash to be within the boardroom with some stuffy Nintendo execs if they’re ever sat down and informed why, all of a sudden, vagina door and Prime 4 are trending on social media and Reddit.
