The alternate art should be available for the digital versions tile on the home screen.

Fuck yes! That’s the Japanese cover art on the reverse. Post this on /r/NSCollectors.

Nice! I pre-ordered mine on Best Buy. Never played Metroid Prime before (only have played and completed Dread) and I’m super excited for this

For those looking for it, Gamestop sent out a corporate memo stating that to sell the copies when they come in. None of my local stores have it yet, but the manager at one confirmed it is the case. You just have to find a store that reads the memos lol.

Reversible cover art should be used all the time. This is a great idea. With more and more of gaming going to digital downloads, this could keep physical copies breathing a little bit longer.

Meanwhile yesterday I got an automated email from Amazon, saying my copy’s estimated ship date has now been pushed back to April 3rd…

How is the spine? Is it like a real cover?
Does it fit with the rest of the Switch collection?

Wow, I like the alternate cover way more!

The one time I don’t go to Walmart, this happens.

I hate it when the reversible cover doesn’t have the esrb rating or console logo. Luckily this one does have at least the logo so that’s great.

what is it about physical Switch games…that feels so good? Is it the cart?
because i dont buy physical for anything else. But Switch games i actually have to think about which to buy

I’m jealous. I can’t find the physical version anywhere and might just end up buying it digitally.

The menu music for this game is one of the most underrated video game tracks of all time.

That reversible cover is badass!
Man this game is such a bliss.

Nobody wants to talk about the fusion skins and original metroid that’s missing 🙁

Did your store get copies in early? I’m not even sure if it’s on our mod

So we can have the Japanese cover *and* it removes the rating box in the bottom corner? Oh, that is beautiful.

Shot with a potato as well. What is this? 2002? I love your commitment to nostalgia.

Judging by the blurry photos, you got it suuuuper early, back around 2006.

I went to the best buy I ordered it from to pick up something else and played dumb trying to get Prime (I preordered it). The guy had it in his hand but the scanner wouldnt let him sell it to me. Oh well I guess I’ll have to wait

I Pre-Ordered at GameStop well paid it off so I can pick up and go. For the collection. Because today I started my Switch up and went to the store and had 24.96 dollars worth of gold coins. I knew I had the 4.96 but I think I got an extra 20$ from Nintendo in Gold Coins. So I ended up getting it Digital too for 15 bones. I’m so excited to start playing know that it’s in my Pokémon Switch Oled and I don’t have to take off Cartridge since I’m going hard through Fire Emblem Engage. I also got tales of symphonya today and will be getting Octopath Traveler as well as pick up my order of Metro Physical. Oh and Octopath will also be free since I have 80$ in GameStop Rewards. I never spend them until it’s a big amount accrued over almost a year.

If you’re reading in Calgary, Southland WM had around 7 copies behind the glass today, and they’re purchasable.
