Nintendo has made a significant change in the voice casting for Metroid Prime 4, revealing that legendary voice actress Jennifer Hale, known for her portrayal of Samus in the previous trilogy, has been replaced by Erin Yvette.

Hale expressed surprise at not being recalled for the role, stating she has no memory of recording new lines for the game amid its lengthy development process. In recent years, Nintendo has made several similar replacements for iconic characters, including long-time voices of Mario and Luigi and others. Despite the changes, early reviews of Metroid Prime 4 have praised the game, awarding it an 8/10 for its strong return to form.
