One of the best Metroid games for the Switch is 30 percent off

Nintendo’s “Customer Appreciation” sale continues through September 26th.

It includes discounts on Switch games and accessories, and I thought I’d call out one of my favorite games that’s cheaper than ever.

Metroid Prime Remastered is down to $27.99 in digital format for the Switch and Switch 2, and it’s among the best remasters I’ve played because it makes smart improvements to an already-great game.

You can get it for this price at Amazon , Best Buy , and Walmart .

The physical version costs around $42 at those retailers.

Metroid Prime Remastered Where to Buy: $39.99 $27.99 at Amazon (digital) $39.99 $27.99 at Walmart (digital) $39.99 $27.99 at Best Buy (digital) Most Metroid fans have already played this one — maybe multiple times, even — but if you’ve somehow missed out, here’s your sign to pick it up.

It applies a modern coat of updated textures and improved lighting to the 2002 GameCube title, and it runs at a smooth frame rate.

Notably, the control scheme doesn’t require motion controls like the Wii re-release did.

For about the same price as this digital title, true fans can also buy the Metroid Prime 1-3: A Visual Retrospective hardcover book.

Normally $49.99, it’s $28.50 at Amazon and Walmart for the 208-page art book covering the original trilogy, peppered with some fantastic quotes from people who worked on the games.

It’s an unusually candid look into Nintendo’s first-person shooter series and the company’s game design philosophy.

It’d make for a great holiday gift.
