Metroid Prime Remastered is a wonderful transforming of the 2002 GameCube traditional. In the course of the February 8 Nintendo Direct broadcast, followers had been delighted to study that not solely was the sport coming to Nintendo Change, however that it might even be made obtainable for buy that day—from the eShop. Followers wanting a bodily cartridge must wait a bit longer till it got here to retailer cabinets on February 24.
Properly, that date has come and gone and sadly Metroid Prime Remastered is considerably scarce at retail. GameStops have been experiencing delays getting copies in inventory, and retailers that do have the sport don’t have loads of copies. A part of that is blame might be positioned on the toes of opportunistic scalpers who’re swooping in and scooping up copies to promote for double (and typically extra) the MSRP of $39.99.
Fortunately, Nintendo isn’t utterly resting on its laurels for this one. After an inquiry was made by Nintendo Life relating to the scarcity of copies, this was the corporate’s official response:
We are going to do every part we are able to to satisfy the robust demand for the product. Please proceed to examine with main retailers for availability. If the Metroid Prime Remastered recreation sells out at varied retail areas within the U.S., we’ll work to offer extra models as quickly as attainable.
There’s no phrase on when these further copies will turn out to be obtainable, however we’d argue that regardless of the wait could also be, it will likely be value it. Nintendo had the same scarcity of the Sanrio amiibo Playing cards which might be appropriate with Animal Crossing: New Horizons. At launch, these playing cards had been almost not possible to seek out in-store. Now, Targets have an abundance of them. So, don’t give some scalper $100 for Metroid Prime Remastered—as an alternative, give Nintendo a while and wait it out. However hey, the selection is yours.
