[MegalonJJ]

According to Nintendo UK's page about this game, the special edition will be as follows and as usual NOE >>> NOA

While supplies last, fans will also be able to purchase a special edition of Metroid: Samus Returns which includes a physical version of the game, 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 and a 40-page artbook.

I cannot find any preorders yet...

[Zalman]

Wow that sounds insane. Need pictures.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Alright, what will be the best way to import this shit?

Edit: I'm serious by the way. What will be the best place to check/try when this goes live? Anyone?

 

[eliochip]

I need this.

 

[Pinky]

Sounds awesome!

 

[TheDinoman]

I always really love it when preordering a new game in a series grants you free access to an older one. I remember how neat it was to get the XBLA port of Banjo-Kazooie for free after preordering BK: Nuts & Bolts. Incidentally, I had more fun revisiting the former than playing the latter.

 

[Shiggy]

Steelbook, thank God. Not just a crappy CD.

 

[Eolz]

Holy shit.
Already ready for missing the preorders and scalpers getting on it ;_;

 

[Yazuka]

Damn! That sound really awesome.
I don't buy special editions, but I might make an exception this time.

 

[Wanderer5]

Oh damn, what the hell NoA. Would had liked the steelbook least.

Is it wrong that ever time Nintendo announce a cool piece of memorabilia, instead of excitement I just feel an immediate sense of disappointment knowing it will sell out before I even realise it's available to order?

It's wrong that Nintendo makes it so you have to feel that way, yeah.

Well, the FE Echoes LE was still available after release and still is. So are the Hyrule Warriors Legends LE, or the Bravely Second LE, or the Pokemon Moon/Sun LE. Actually, the only 3DS LE that was hard to get was FE Fates, wasn't it?

 

[Nachtfalke]

Wow, I need that.

But even as a European, it's always disappointing to see that Nintendo treats the regions so different. Just give all people the chance to get everything.

Yes, Fates and Bravely Default. But even Fates got some smaller restocks after release. It's really not that hard to get the EU LEs for Nintendo games.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Europe wins

 

[Diablohead]

Just last night I was wishing that the LE came with Metroid 2 in some form, a badge is a tastey bonus on top.

 

[RoseBell69]

Honestly, why does the UK get better SEs than the US? Lol

 

[Joqu]

Bless you, NoE. I really really hope I can grab one of these.

 

[sphinx]

is this exclusive to the nintendo UK shop?? that would suck

EDIT: nope it also appears in the german store.

now I need a damn amazon link plaase

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Honestly, why does the UK get better SEs than the US? Lol

The US is Nintendo's biggest market. The US is Metroid's biggest market. Clearly this makes sense because reasons.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Sounds like an awesome LE!

 

[WonderzL]

I'm so envy

 

[victreeb3l]

Just release standalone art books Nintendo WTF

 

[RoseBell69]

Hahaha, I know right.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

That won't be available for long.

 

[TheMoon]

Why is it always so hard to realize that Europe is a a whole continent/region and not just the UK lol.

 

[RootCause]

Hmmm I might import this, sell the cart, and the code for cheap. I'm already getting the NA SE.

 

[Kthulhu]

Honestly, why does the UK get better SEs than the US? Lol

Nintendo of America is my guess.

 

[Aostia]

UK store only or EUROPE limited edition, by NoE?

 

[Ged]

UK store only or EUROPE limited edition, by NoE?

The latter.

 

[Nachtfalke]

UK store only or EUROPE limited edition, by NoE?

*Please check with your local retailer for information on current availability.

This suggests it's not exclusive to the UK store.

 

[ktroopa]

Where are you guys finding this on the UK store? I searched and found nothing.

 

[13ruce]

I will pre order this shit whenever it's on a dutch webstore.

 

[Eolz]

It's not up yet, just Nintendo announcing that'll be the LE in EU.
I doubt it'll be available before the end of the month tbh.

Ah ok. I will continue to mash F5 then till my fingers bleed lol...

 

[Magicpaint]

This will be mine.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Having it.

 

[Kneefoil]

Aaaaaaaaaaah!

I promised myself I wouldn't get any collector editions anymore, but how could I possibly say no to this? Help!

 

[AHappyPanda]

Pls come to America.

 

[Shiggy]

Pls come to America.

You're having a different LE already. With just the CD.

 

[_Aaron_]

I'm getting this for sure.

 

[meerak]

Did you say *pin* ?

 

[AHappyPanda]

You're having a different LE already. With just the CD.

I know I was just hoping NOA would change their minds.

 

[devonodev]

Still waiting on ANY limited edition in Australia. I'm preordering as soon as possible.

 

[AlexFlame116]

I'll post what I said in the other thread.

Is there ANY way to preorder this without having it pre charge it have an authorization hold on your account? Like what Amazon does? Any site?

Please?

 

[MrT-Tar]

I am planning on getting this. The FE Echoes limited edition was a grear purchase and I'm a sucker for artbooks.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Nintendo store doesn't charge before dispatch.

 

[AlexFlame116]

Nintendo store doesn't charge before dispatch.

So they don't do what Best Buy does and pull money from your account?

 

[Nocturnowl]

I always get intrigued by the UK store collectors editions, until I see the price tag that does not warrant the trinkets.

 

[Kinsei]

I need that art book. I would totally import if the 3DS wasn't region locked.

I guess this confirms that the original game won't be unlockable like Metroid 1 was in Zero Mission.
