Back to Features List

Since the announcement of Metroid Dread for Nintendo Switch, there has been an increase in the number of people wanting to play through Metroid games, some who are undoubtably new to the franchise. For this reason, we wanted to compile a list of the different ways you can currently explore these different Metroid titles on the most recent Nintendo hardware, including their current pricing. We hope that this will be beneficial to anyone who wants to step back into Metroid, or play it for the very first time! Our aim is to continue to keep this page updated with the latest pricing and releases as time goes by. If you see an incorrect price, please let us know via our social media channels!

Please note: The prices shown in this feature will be their usual price sold, and do not reflect any software currently on sale. Please check your countries eShop via the official Nintendo website for the latest pricing.
