Walmart offers discount on Metroid Ravenous physical preorders for Nintendo Switch 2
Walmart is selling a discounted physical copy of the upcoming Metroid Ravenous game for the Nintendo Switch 2 starting before its January 28, 2027 launch.
Physical preorder price reduction
Customers can purchase the physical version of the game for $59.88 instead of the standard $69.99 price point. This discount brings the cost closer to the digital edition available at other retailers. The specific duration of this offer remains unclear to buyers.
Game release and platform details
The title marks a return to side-scrolling gameplay for the franchise after Metroid Dread in 2021. Nintendo first revealed the adventure game during its September 2026 Direct presentation. The new entry will feature Samus absorbing powerful abilities to escape her planet.
Story mechanics remain secret
Developers have kept unique new mechanics under wraps for the time being. Reports suggest the game involves plowing through enemies that stop Samus from escaping. No further details about the story are currently available to the public.
