Lock in the digital price for the physical version.
Pre-orders for the physical version of Metroid Ravenous are now available for $59.99 on Amazon.com! The regular price for this version is $69.99. It’s unclear how long this discount will last.
It has been confirmed the full 20.2 GB game will be on the cartridge. With microSD Express cards at an all-time high, you don't need to worry about freeing up space to make room for this game.
Metroid Ravenous is an upcoming 2D action-adventure game starring Samus Aran. After being ambushed and stranded on an unfamiliar moon, Samus must explore its labyrinthine underground ruins, battle powerful enemies, and recover new abilities.
A new twist lets her awaken her Metroid instincts to drain energy from stunned foes, adding an aggressive “eat or be eaten” mechanic to classic exploration and combat. The game is scheduled for release on January 28, 2027, exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2.
One particularly interesting thing is that Ravenous seems to be attracting people who haven't traditionally played Metroid. There are already discussions from newcomers saying the trailer convinced them to try the series, while longtime fans are excited about the return of 2D Metroid specifically.
