Metroid Prime 4 Features Doors Resembling Vaginas, Players Note
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, the latest installment in Nintendo’s acclaimed Metroid series, has sparked conversations among players for an unexpected reason. While the game is known for its mature themes and sci‑fi elements, players have recently pointed out that many of its doors bear a striking resemblance to vaginas.
Design Influences
The game’s design is heavily influenced by the work of H.R. Giger, the artist behind the iconic designs in the movie Alien. This influence is particularly evident in the game’s first major level, Volt Forge, which features architecture and environmental details reminiscent of Giger’s biomechanical style. However, players have noted that some of the game’s doors go beyond this influence and resemble vulvas.
Community Reaction
Critic Aidan Moher succinctly pointed out on Bluesky, “Lotta vaginas in this game.” This observation has led to a flurry of screenshots shared online by fans, highlighting doors of various sizes and designs that bear this resemblance. Some doors even feature small bumps at the top that players must pull down using Samus’s psychic powers to open them.
Future Speculation
While the resemblance may be unintentional, it has certainly caught the attention of players and critics alike. The game’s mature themes and sci‑fi elements have been well‑received, but this particular design choice has sparked amusement and curiosity among the gaming community. As the conversation continues, one can’t help but wonder about the reaction from Nintendo executives if they were to become aware of the trend. For now, players continue to explore the game and share their findings, adding a unique twist to the Metroid Prime 4 experience.
