Ironically, this might be a good sign. Amazon and Nintendo had a weird falling out in recent years so if they know they’re not getting any that must mean shipments are starting relatively soon.

Just got the email as well! I was really hoping for the 12/31/24 release date too!

Meanwhile my “Breath of the Wild 2” pre-order remained, and according to my shipment history is what they sent me lol
kuribayashijuri
Mine got canceled too. So much for getting it for $50, I know this is gonna end up being another $70 title.
HackWeightBadger
Got mine cancelled today too. Only upside is if this game comes out for Switch 2 as well, I’d rather get it on the new system.

I mean honestly, getting a preorder on a game when it didn’t even exist yet and had development restart is kinda dumb. Putting the cart before the horse
crestdiving
Calling it now: The game is going to be pushed to Switch 2.
This, or they just increased the price…
twelfthcapaldi
Isn’t it still the case that new Nintendo games haven’t been available for preorder through Amazon anymore? That’s probably why they’re getting canceled now.

I had a “Zelda Wii U” pre-order from Walmart for years. They never cancelled it and it just sat in the system. I guess they made new SKU when it became Breath of the Wild.
MWink64
I’m annoyed. I preordered this back when they still offered a 20% discount. This game was a deciding factor in buying a Switch, something I now kind of regret.
mlvisby
I find it funny that they waited for seven years, but can’t wait less than one more for it to come out?
gizmo998
The real one must be up soon!!! Switch 2 launch baby
TheDragonDAFan
My preorder’s still active.

The_real_bandito
Damn. It’s been that long!?
RockD79
Has anyone had their preorder cancelled that did not apply the old Amazon Prime discount?
Defiant_Bandicoot99
Always remember…… no pre-orders.
SelectSympathy5718
I was so close to pre order it on a store that went out of business years ago
thaRUFUS
Mine is gone from my account but no email.

Just got mine… ordered on August 27, 2018
zigludo
Mine too, pretty mad now.
Hayterfan
Mine was canceled. Shame because I made it back when I worked at Amazon when prime members got 25% off on pre-orders, with my employee discount bumping it to like 40% off
Lucky_Foam
Same thing happened to me
Megaverso
There goes my 40 dollars deal, now will be 70 + tax
KingBroly
Please enjoy “the Metroid Prime 4 Beyond game with the $70 price tag for the Nintendo Switch family of systems” when it releases this fall.
GreyNoiseGaming
Slightly unrelated. They canceled my $160 LOTR blue ray box set, to replace it with a $240 version.
TheKihunter
This doesn’t seem surprising given the current relationship between Nintendo and Amazon.
Amazon notoriously has been breaking street dates for products, something Nintendo takes pretty seriously, among other issues like selling used, returned games as new (an issue not unique to just Nintendo or games as a whole).
In any case, this probably isn’t a sign of anything bad for Prime 4 as much as it is Nintendo and Amazon’s business relationship.
Death_Metalhead101
Switch 2 exclusive, calling it
Jefwho
Got my cancellation email today as well.
Dino_Spaceman
Yup. Same. My oldest preorder.
What really sucks is that it had the Prime discount on it. So the game price just shot up $20.
Valuable_Product9570
Ngl Amazon is known for this kind of shit, I wouldn’t recommend getting Nintendo stuff or games from there.
GBC_Fan_89
That means a new confirmation soon?
PM_ME_UR_TA--TAS
You pre-ordered that on my 31st birthday.
Cheers, mate!

Pre-ordered since the Wii days. Why are people pre-ordering these days? Was there some kinda free perk that you can’t get ordering weeks/days before?
