Metroid Prime 4: Beyond doesn’t launch until December 4 on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, but the first two Amiibo hit stores next week. Amazon has restocked preorders for the new Samus Amiibo and the Samus & Vi-O-La Amiibo ahead of their November 6 launch. The Sylux Amiibo, which releases the same day as the game, is currently sold out at Amazon, but Walmart recently restocked preorders.
Metroid fans can also pick up the new Metroid Prime Trilogy retrospective book and four officially licensed accessories for Switch 1/2, including a wireless controller, Switch 2 carrying case, and gaming earbuds for cheap.

$70 | Releases December 4
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond for Nintendo Switch 2 includes the base Switch game and the Switch 2 Upgrade Pack for $70. Like other first-party Switch 2 games and select third-party titles, the full game is stored on the cartridge, so you won’t need to download any data beyond patches.
The Switch 2 version of Metroid Prime 4 has better visuals, enhanced resolutions in handheld and docked modes, and higher frame rates. Two different graphics modes will be available at launch. When the Switch 2 is docked, Quality mode renders Samus’ latest adventure in 4K at 60fps. Performance mode offers 1080p resolution at 120fps. Metroid Prime 4’s handheld experience offers 1080p resolution at 60fps in Quality mode and 720p at 120fps in Performance mode. High Dynamic Range is supported at all times.
Switch 2 players also have the option to use mouse controls with the Joy-Con 2 to aim Samus’ arm canon. Players can swap freely between dual stick, mouse, and gyro motion controls at any time.
$60 | Releases December 4
