These prizes are a metalMetroid Prime Remasteredwall art and aMetroid Prime Remasteredjacket.
Unlike previousMy Nintendo physical rewards based onPokemon ScarletandViolet, fans cannot directly exchange a set amount of points for theMetroid Prime Remasteredrewards. Instead, fans must join a contest by redeeming ten Platinum Points for an entry into the contest and can submit up to three entries. This contest will be available until April 4 at 11:59 PM PT. No purchase is necessary to enter and a total of ten winners will be chosen.
DespiteMetroid Prime Remasteredbeing announced and shadow-dropped similarly toHi-Fi Rush, it has gotten a lot of the same treatment from Nintendo that other first-party releases have gotten in terms of support. Being included in My Nintendo’s physical rewards will likely do a lot to raise excitement over this release, particularly in the lead-up to the massively anticipatedMetroid Prime 4which was first announced nearly six years ago. This added support lends credence to the idea that the other twoMetroid Primegames andMetroid Prime 4could be coming to Switch soon, but fans will have to continue to be patient to see when they can experience these adventures on Switch.
Metroid Prime Remasteredis available digitally for Nintendo Switch and will get a physical release on February 22.
