Spotted something interesting on Costco clearance: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond for the Nintendo Switch 2 is marked down. This is one of those finds that’ll have Nintendo fans doing a double-take, especially since we’re talking about a major first-party release on the Switch 2.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is the long-awaited return of Samus Aran in the first-person adventure series that Nintendo fans have been clamoring for. Developed by Retro Studios (the team behind the original trilogy), this Switch 2 title brings the atmospheric exploration and sci-fi action that made the series legendary, now optimized for Nintendo’s latest hardware.

Here’s the thing about finding a Nintendo first-party title on clearance this early: it’s genuinely unusual. Nintendo games typically hold their value better than almost any other publisher’s releases, so seeing this marked down could mean Costco overordered or needs to clear shelf space. Either way, if you’ve been eyeing this game, the clearance price is likely going to beat what you’d pay elsewhere for months to come.

Why might this be on clearance in mid-April? Sometimes Costco cycles through gaming inventory quickly, especially if initial sales projections don’t match actual demand at their warehouses. The “97” penny ending suggests they’re moving it out. If you’re interested, don’t sleep on this—Nintendo games on clearance at Costco tend to vanish fast once word gets out.

Key Features:
  • Developed by Retro Studios, the acclaimed team behind the original Metroid Prime trilogy
  • Optimized for Nintendo Switch 2 hardware with enhanced graphics and performance
  • Classic first-person adventure gameplay blending exploration, puzzle-solving, and combat
  • Atmospheric sci-fi world with the signature Metroid sense of isolation and discovery
  • Single-player experience focusing on Samus Aran’s solo mission
  • Mature rating (check the ESRB details if buying for younger gamers)
  • First new Metroid Prime entry in nearly two decades

If you’re a Metroid fan or just love atmospheric adventure games, this clearance find is worth grabbing. Have you been waiting for a price drop on this one, or are you still working through your gaming backlog?
