Nintendo cuts Metroid Prime Remastered price by 30 percent

Nintendo has reduced the digital price of Metroid Prime Remastered to $27.99 for the Switch and Switch 2, marking a 30 percent discount from its standard $39.99 tag. The reduction is part of the company's Customer Appreciation sale, which runs through September 26th and includes discounts on various Switch games and accessories.

The remaster updates the 2002 GameCube title with modern textures and improved lighting while maintaining a smooth frame rate. Unlike the previous Wii re-release, the Switch version does not require motion controls. Digital copies are available at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart for $27.99. Physical versions of the game cost approximately $42 at these retailers.

For collectors of the series, Nintendo is also discounting Metroid Prime 1-3: A Visual Retrospective, a 208-page hardcover art book covering the original trilogy. The book, which features quotes from developers involved in the games, is priced at $28.50 at Amazon and Walmart, down from its regular $49.99 cost.

Other items included in the Customer Appreciation sale offer varied discounts across different media and hardware. The animated film Flow, described as a voiceless tale about a cat surviving a flood, is available in 4K on Apple TV and Amazon for $4.99 for those without HBO Max subscriptions. Anker's 2-in-1 USB-C cable, capable of charging two devices from a single port with up to 140W output for one device, is priced at $15.99 at Amazon for the six-foot version. This represents a $4 reduction from its previous price.

Best Buy is also offering a discount on the white Magic Keyboard with Touch ID, pricing it at $149.99. This model is compatible with Apple silicon Macs running macOS 15.1 or later and includes a full numerical pad. The white keyboard discount follows a separate $30 reduction on the black version of the keyboard to $169.99, which is no longer available.
