Nintendo launched the physical version of Metroid Prime remastered on February 22, about two weeks after the digital version surprisingly launched on February 8. However, if you haven’t pre-ordered the cartridge-based game, you’re probably having a hard time finding it in stock, right? now. It sold out at multiple retailers during the pre-order phase (even Nintendo itself quickly ran out of initial stock).
But if you go to Amazonyou may be able to find a physical copy of the game selling for $39.99, the retail price (via Wario64).
Should that sell out, it might be tempting to jump on eBay for a more expensive one, but hold on. You never know when the next replenishment might happen. Additionally, Nintendo of America told Polygon in a statement, “If the Metroid Prime Remastered game sells out at various retail locations in the US, we will work to ship more units as soon as possible.”
Where to buy Metroid Prime Remastered
If you are looking for a physical copy of Metroid Prime remastered which will not cost you more than the retail price, I recommend that you regularly visit the links below to see if stock has returned. We will do our best to keep this page up to date with the latest stocking information.
On the other hand, downloading a digital copy of the game is easy. Go directly to the eShop through your Switch console, or if it’s more convenient, find a digital code for the game through Humble Bundle for the same price.
Update (March 6): By tweet from Wario64we’ve updated this post to state that Amazon stocks the physical version of the game.
