Metroid Ravenous pre-orders dropped this week, and ‘ravenous’ seems the apt word to describe fans of the classic Nintendo series, as the Switch 2 game’s special edition is already sold out across US and UK retailers.
The $119.99 / £99.99 version of the game includes a physical Switch 2 copy, a steelbook case, and an exclusive amiibo showcasing Samus’s slime-green colored Metroid suit. So far, that appears to be the only way to grab that amiibo, though there is also a Chozo Statue and another Samus NFC figure up for grabs. For amiibo completionists like me, the lack of stock is a bummer, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed that more Special Editions will drop as the months roll on.
In the meantime, you can alternatively grab the game digitally or physically for $69.99 / £58.99 straight from Nintendo and a myriad of US and UK retailers, all of which I’ve gathered below. Sure, you won’t get an amiibo just by sticking to the physical copy, but there are no signs of that hideous game-key banner on the box, which is something. No matter which copy you pick, you can dine with Samus when the Switch 2 exclusive launches on January 28 next year.

Amazon | Check stock
