Metroid Prime Trilogy Retrospective Book Releases June 24

by

Though Nintendo hasn’t yet specified an exact launch date for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, there’s been a definite update regarding the publication of the Metroid Prime Trilogy‘s commemorative book – Metroid Prime 1-3: A Visual Retrospective. Initially unveiled last autumn with a projected Summer 2025 launch, this retrospective book is now scheduled for June 24, as per the revised Amazon store page. The 212-page hardcover book can be preordered at $45 (originally priced at $50). Preordering now will grant you access to any future discounts that Amazon may offer before the release.

Attention: If you haven’t tried out Metroid Prime Remastered on Nintendo Switch yet, Walmart currently offers physical copies at $30 (originally $40). This game rarely goes on sale, and the 25% discount offered by Walmart is the best deal we’ve found for this outstanding remaster.

Piggyback, known for their stunning strategy guides on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, have produced a Visual Retrospective for Metroid Prime. This publisher collaborated closely with Nintendo and Retro Studios to prepare this upcoming retrospective on Metroid Prime. The book comes in hardcover, bound by stitching, and boasts an intricate metallic foil cover art depicting Samus Aran’s recognizable Varia suit. The artwork is rendered on premium sheet-fed art paper.

This book showcases art and drafts created during the development of the original Metroid Prime, Prime 2: Echoes, Prime 3: Corruption, and the remastered version. Additionally, it features commentary from the developers at Retro Studios, including Nintendo producer Kensuke Tanabe, alongside these pieces of art.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but feel exhilarated at the prospect of what lies ahead with Piggyback’s upcoming book on Metroid. Given their track record with other books, it seems we’re in for a real treat. After all, it’s not everyday that Nintendo games receive such an in-depth look behind the scenes. Moreover, Piggyback has been responsible for some of the most captivating game guides from recent years, such as the official guides for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom – two of the coolest Zelda collectibles currently on the market.
