Metroid Prime Remastered is on sale for only $30 (was $40) at Walmart, but we wouldn't expect this offer to be available for long. The 25% discount matches the all-time best price for the superb enhanced version of the GameCube classic. Walmart offered this deal a couple weeks back and it disappeared quickly, but now you have another chance to snag this rare deal. Despite releasing over two years ago, Prime Remastered almost always sells for full price. With Metroid Prime 4: Beyond expected to release sometime this year, now's a great time to revisit or experience the Retro Studios series for the first time.

Prime Remastered is currently sold out at Amazon and is priced at its normal $40 Best Buy and Target. We wouldn't expect this deal to be available for long, so grab a copy while you can.

While these changes make Metroid Prime Remastered the definitive way to play, and highlight how good the original core gameplay still is. As Steven Petite says in our Metroid Prime Remastered review, "It's an experience that has aged like fine wine, and is every bit as intoxicating now as it was 20 years ago."

This Metroid Prime Remastered deal is a great entry point for new players, but those who already own the game have more Metroid Prime releases to look forward to this year. Obviously, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is the big one, but there's also the upcoming Metroid Prime 1-3: A Visual Retrospective artbook that launches June 24. The hardcover book will include illustrations and concept art from the original Metroid Prime trilogy and the recent Metroid Prime Remastered, along with commentary from Kensuke Tanabe and members of Retro Studios' development team. Preorders are available at Amazon.

Nintendo also has an official Metroid Prime 2026 wall calendar up for preorder. Despite being a 2026 calendar, it also includes a 2025 planner section, so you won't have to wait until next year to use it.

While 2025 is shaping up to be a banner year for Metroid Prime, the entire series has been enjoying some well-earned attention over the last few years. The latest game in the mainline side-scrolling series, Metroid Dread, was the first all-new entry in over 19 years when it launched on Switch in 2021. If you haven't played it yet, you can grab it for $51 at Amazon. You can couple it with the Metroid Dread Amiibo 2-Pack, which includes figures of Samus Aran and the E.M.M.I. robot, for $23 (was $30). And for those who want to explore the earlier games in the series, you can access all the Metroid NES, SNES, Game Boy, and Game Boy Advance games through the Nintendo Switch Online service.
