Metroid Prime Remastered is a wonderful remodeling of the 2002 GameCube basic. Throughout the February 8 Nintendo Direct broadcast, followers have been delighted to be taught that not solely was the sport coming to Nintendo Change, however that it could even be made accessible 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 lots of copies. A part of that is blame will be positioned on the ft 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’ll do every thing we will to satisfy the robust demand for the product. Please proceed to examine with main retailers for availability. If the Metroid Prime Remastered sport sells out at numerous retail areas within the U.S., we are going to work to offer extra items as quickly as doable.
There’s no phrase on when these extra copies will turn out to be accessible, however we’d argue that regardless of the wait could also be, will probably be value it. Nintendo had an identical scarcity of the Sanrio amiibo Playing cards which are appropriate with Animal Crossing: New Horizons. At launch, these playing cards have been practically unattainable to search out in-store. Now, Targets have an abundance of them. So, don’t give some scalper $100 for Metroid Prime Remastered—as a substitute, give Nintendo a while and wait it out. However hey, the selection is yours.
