Get deal at Amazon

Metroid Prime 1-3: A Visual Retrospective is on sale for 43% off at Amazon. Normally $50, the beautiful 210-page illustrated hardcover book is up for grabs for $28.50 (was $50). Amazon doesn’t list an end date for the deal, so Metroid fans should snag a copy while they can.

Amazon is also sweetening the deal by making it part of its new Buy Three, Get One Free promotion. As a reminder, you can grab any three eligible items from across multiple categories, and the price of the lowest-priced item in your cart will be subtracted from your total when you check out.

As a longtime Metroid fan myself, I thoroughly enjoyed my time reading the behind-the-scenes details and insights from the team behind the Metroid Prime Trilogy. Not only is it an entertaining read, but it’s a truly gorgeous book that would look great displayed on any bookcase or display shelf.

Metroid Prime 1-3: A Visual Retrospective

$46.59 (was $50)

The hardcover book is wrapped in cloth that gives it a premium look and feel. The illustration of Samus in her Varia Suit is etched to the front cover in metallic gold, which makes it shimmer when rotating the book toward light–sort of like a lenticular piece of art. The back cover has a small Metroid Prime logo etched in the center.

The retrospective is printed on high-quality, sheet-fed art paper, and the pages are stitched to the binding to increase durability.

Each page is filled with full-color concept art and sketches, many of which are accompanied by background descriptions or producer’s notes by the teamat Retro Studios who developed each game.

Metroid Prime 1-3: A Visual Retrospective covers the development of the original Metroid Prime (2002) for GameCube, Prime 2: Echoes (2004), Prime 3: Corruption (2007), and Metroid Prime Remastered (2023).

The foreword was written by Metroid Prime series producer Kensuke Tanabe, and each of the four sections are introduced by a developer from Retro Studios.

Metroid Prime Trilogy’s retrospective was designed by Piggyback in collaboration with Retro Studios and Nintendo. Piggyback is best known for its wonderful The Legend of Zelda strategy guides for Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
