Pre-order Metroid Prime 4 for Switch 2

Here we'll list retailers with Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Switch pre-orders - Switch 2. The game is releasing across both consoles, so make sure you're getting the version you want, digital or physical! (Scroll down for Switch 1.)

Pre-orders from My Nintendo Store UK all come with a bonus keyring depicting Samus' thunderbolt-style 'S'.

Pre-order Metroid Prime 4 for Switch 1

And if you'll be playing the new Metroid on your trusty Switch 1, here are the options (and remember, there's always the Upgrade Pack option as and when you pick up a Switch 2 in the future).

As with the Switch 2 version, My Nintendo Store UK pre-orders come with the same bonus keyring.

Pre-order Metroid Prime 4 with eShop Credit

If you're going digital, you may need to top up your eShop credit. As seems to be the trend in the UK, the digital S2 version is cheaper, slightly, coming in at £57.98 - although that's a marginal saving compared to £58.99 for the physical. (The Switch 1 version is £49.99 physical or digital.)

Remember to make sure you apply the credit to the account you're using to purchase the game!

Pre-order Metroid Prime 4: Beyond amiibo (Samus, Samus & Bike, Sylux)

Nintendo is launching three new amiibo alongside the game - two featuring Samus (one solo, the other astride her natty new bike, Vi-O-La), one showing Sylux.

Samus and Samus & Vi-O-La arrive on 6th November, nearly a full month before Sylux joins the lineup on the game's launch day (4th December).

Which edition will you be picking up? Do you like the look of any of those amiibo? Let us know below.
