Metroid has not often been capable of play with the Nintendo huge boys so far as gross sales are involved, so it is no shock that Samus merch drops have been a good bit rarer than these seen for Zelda and Mario. However, with Metroid Prime 4: Past lastly right here, Nintendo is altering that… in Japan, no less than.
Sure, a brand new wave of Metroid merch is now accessible solely on the Nintendo Shops in Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Fukuoka and the Okinawa pop-up. Simply to essentially rub salt within the wound, it is also accessible on the My Nintendo Retailer, solely in Japan. *sigh* Again to wanting longingly at airplane tickets, it’s.
Merely put, the brand new vary is superior. There is a tremendous cute Child Metroid keychain, a Morph Ball zip-up pouch, a ‘gadget case’ for all of your wires and charging banks, and even glasses so you possibly can ‘cheers’ Prime 4 in model.
The actual winners, thoughts you, are the Metroid ice dice tray — as a result of why have cube-shaped ice, when it may seem like a tiny alien? — and the Arm Cannon pillow, which, sure, you possibly can really put on. There isn’t any signal of a Western launch for all these newbies simply but, however we’re genuinely contemplating coughing up the extortionate delivery charges simply to have funny-shaped ice.


The total assortment ranges in worth from 2,420 yen (round £12 / $16) for the keychain as much as 6,600 yen (round £32 / $43) for the Arm Cannon pillow.
It feels unlikely that we’ll ever get our palms on any of those goodies out West, so we’ll need to take pleasure in Metroid Prime 4: Past, which arrives on Change and Change 2 in the present day, as a substitute. We referred to as Samus’ newest journey “one of many best Metroid video games of all time” in our overview, and in the present day, the wait is lastly over!
