Amazon Prime Day 2026 has arrived, and there are already some easy recommendations for anyone who hasn’t yet jumped into Samus’s latest outing.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is now available for just $29.99 on Nintendo Switch as part of Amazon’s Prime Day sale, which runs from June 23 through June 26. Meanwhile, the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition has also been discounted to $44.99.

However, the smartest way to buy Metroid Prime 4 right now is actually to grab the original Switch version and upgrade later. Nintendo’s Switch 2 upgrade pack costs just $10, meaning you can get the complete Switch 2 experience for a total of $39.99.
That’s $5 cheaper than buying the Switch 2 Edition outright, and an impressive $15 less than the best deal we’ve previously seen on the upgraded version earlier this year.

This is its lowest prices since launch for both those playing on either generation of console, and is most definitely one of the biggest standout deals of Prime Day so far.
The latest entry in Nintendo’s long-running sci-fi series marks the return of the Prime sub-series after an absence of nearly two decades. Featuring expansive environments, challenging combat, and some of the strongest first-person exploration Nintendo has produced in years, it’s a game that feels tailor-made for both longtime fans and newcomers alike.
IGN’s Logan Plant awarded Metroid Prime 4: Beyond an 8/10 review, calling it “an excellent, if relatively uneven, revival that reaches heights worthy of the Metroid name in its best moments.”
Prime Day runs until June 26, but deals on major Nintendo releases can disappear quickly, especially when they’re discounted this heavily. If Metroid Prime 4 has been sitting on your wishlist, this is arguably the best opportunity yet to pick it up.
There’s plenty of other great Switch game deals to check out during the Prime Day sales as well. That includes Tears of the Kingdom for $59.99 on Switch 2, Resident Evil Requiem for $53.19, Mario Tennis Fever for $49.99, and a whole lot more as well. I’ll leave a few more of my hand-picked recommendations, just below.
