Metroid Ravenous Preorders Are Already $10 Off at Amazon and Walmart

Nintendo has slashed the price of Metroid Ravenous physical copies on Amazon and Walmart by $10. The reduced price brings the standard edition down to $59.88, an over $10 discount from the original MSRP of $69.99. Preorders for Metroid Ravenous opened close to the game's trailer at Nintendo Direct, sparking significant excitement.

The immediate $10 discount at Walmart stems from Nintendo's practice of offering a $10 discount for physical copies during preorders, a strategy seen in other recent Nintendo releases like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, Star Fox, Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, and Switch Sports Resort. Amazon mirrors this deal and matches the price, allowing another avenue to secure the discount.

The physical Metroid Ravenous game ships with the complete game on the cartridge, eliminating the need for a game key card. For those eager to play more Metroid games before the sequel's launch, Metroid Dread is on sale at $41.99, a $18 discount from its usual price. Other discountable Metroid games within the sale include Metroid Prime Remastered for $27.97 and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond for $41.99.

Metroid Ravenous, an exclusive Nintendo Switch 2 release on January 28, 2027, is a 2D side-scrolling adventure for Samus, following a brutal and animalistic design in the trailer, echoing her look from Metroid Dread. Two additional amiibo, Samus and Chozo Statue, are also released alongside the game, with Best Buy recently resuming preorders for them.
