At least it's only on the outer box now. Neither BOTW or Fire Emblem Echoes special editions had the age rating plastered all over the front of the actual game case.

That's right, so why not eh? I'm gonna order and with the push of one button it's cancelled. I don't wanna miss out.

Did they? I've been wondering what it was going to be. I'd be very happy with that.

Really hope they open soon the preorders.
Amazon.es has the game for 60 euros, there no 3ds game for that price in Spain, so maybe it the legendary edition in disguise. Preordered if thats the case, and will cancel it when we discover is a fuck up by amazon probably.
Nice!!!
Didnt actually know about this!

Are you FUCKING kidding me NoA??? Jesus Christ.
NoA: "Hey you know what would make sense? Not producing the Special Edition for Metroids biggest market by far."

Where?
I did the same but have zero confidence. They have the Mario&Luigi remake for the same price. Both look like placeholder prices for the standard editions.

Dam it's beautiful. Nintendo of America can be the worst at times. Still glad we are getting the game
The special edition was previously announced, but only now Nintendo of Europe shared pictures.

The special edition of Metroid: Samus Returns includes:
- a physical version of the game (the cover will not have any rating)
- a download code for the original Game Boy game Metroid II: Return of Samus to be redeemed in Nintendo eShop
- a SteelBook®
- a sound-selection CD featuring 25 tracks from across the Metroid franchise
- a gold S pin badge
- a Morph Ball 3D keyring
- a 40-page artbook
Release date: September 15, 2017
Boxart of the normal edition:
Wipeout Omega
Metroid: Samus Returns
Why does Europe get all the cool stuff, while US customers get plain offerings?
Jealous of that side of the pond.

We've been over this in every thread. It's not. It's the regular edition and a placeholder price. AmazonUK went through the exacat same thing. You cannot order the SE anywhere.
No they didn't. You can see the reversible cover on that NA promo image. You've been looking at it the whole time.
It's INSPIRED by the OG GB art. Samus' pose. That is it.
Where do you see that?
Please.
As recent as Breath of the Wild the Americas had a better offering. It completely varies on a game by game basis.
I love it when Europe gets one, just one, decent offering, the world is suddenly unfair. Honestly, if you think the way NoA is handling things today is bad, most of you would have committed sodoku during the GameCube years if you lived in Europe.

What exactly?

Yup games releasing months sometimes years later. It was insane.
I expect it's 3DS-box-sized, but I wouldn't mind it *actually* being GB-cart-sized. You could still fit a 3DS cart in there!

Its pay back for 25 years of bad PAL conversions, 12 month waits from the US, games never coming out, games running slower, looking worse, and so on.

No ratings icon = reversible cover.
Unless I completely missed something and they said it's the actual GB art and they've chosen not to picture that at all up until now.
For comparison, Fire Emblem Echoes LE still hast the T-rating on the case's main box art.
Ah didn't see. Could explain why they haven't really shown what the other side looks like.
With the price adjusted now, you can cancel it now lol

GAME and Nintendo store more likely. I think that was what they did for Majora's Mask LE.
Both will be priced high compared to if Amazon or whoever got it. Fuck GAME and their exclusive tax. I remember when Mass Effect 3 N7 edition was exclusive, then it wasn't exclusive anymore and it was £10-20 cheaper everywhere else.

I still can't get over how fucking trash the steelbook is.

Really? The steelbook is like 90% of the reason I actually want that thing.

Same here, it's a great idea and they pulled it off well.
I'm sure the Nintendo UK store will also sell it.

Fucking bingo. So Europe have been shafted for decades: Games never releasing here or not coming out for months, or even years, was common place.
