Walmart Offers $10 Discount on Metroid Ravenous Physical Preorders

Nintendo’s long‑running Metroid franchise is returning to its classic 2‑D side‑scroller format with *Metroid Ravenous*, slated for release on January 28, 2027 for the Nintendo Switch 2. The game was first revealed at Nintendo’s September 2026 Direct, where a fast‑paced trailer showcased Samus Aran navigating varied environments, battling enemies and bosses, and utilizing the powerful abilities she earned in 2021’s *Metroid Dread*. While the plot and new mechanics remain largely undisclosed, the title promises a relentless pace as Samus seeks to escape the planet.

Preorders for the physical edition are available through Walmart, where the game is discounted to $59.88 from its standard $69.99 price. The discount is similar to the price of a digital copy, but it is unclear how long the offer will remain; Walmart’s preorder promotions have previously been subject to occasional changes. The game will also be available in digital format on the Nintendo eShop, and the physical version will ship on the launch date.

*Metroid Ravenous* marks the first side‑scroller in the series since *Metroid Dread*, and fans of the franchise can anticipate a blend of familiar gameplay with new challenges. The title’s release date is confirmed, and interested players may secure the discounted physical copy before the promotion potentially ends.
