thanks for the addition Knight of Truth..i hope we see more of the 3DS steelbook's proliferate like we've seen them for Pokemon last year..i think this would have been an ideal candidate.....i think the CD should have been more of a pre order bonus, ..a $50 3DS game is getting steep.

Man, I'd LOVE to see a Metroid 3DS steelbook! Here's hoping something comes up across the pond!

Europe is also getting a Special Edition, a much better one:

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.

No pictures at the moment.

Even as a German it's always sad to see that Nintendo treats the regions so different. Region Lock on 3DS hurts even more in these cases.

This one legit looks like the CE. 69.99gbp seems like the price it will be like the pokemon sun/moon CE price which have similar stuff.

This might be the link for preorders on amazon.de : Price 69.99 euros

Obviously changes might be made just like the amazon.co.uk listing so be careful .

According to the comments the pre-order never went live 3 days ago. They just added the listing, so you can put it on your wishlist. And in comparison to amazon the wishlist there is excellent. You get an email right away, if it's up.

Game.co.uk have already put it up and sold out couple days back .
The only place left now is amazon.co.uk which only have had the temp listing up but haven't made the item yet available for preordering .Should be up though soon (i will make a post when the listing is live )

For other places i wouldn't bet on it anymore as most had the preorders go live last week and sold out in matter of minutes ( like amazon france , amazon de ,amazon spain , media markt de etc). There were also some smaller shops that put up the limited edition for preorder but most were canceled with a lot of angry costumers due to limited stock so wouldn't recommend those at all .

Some conflicting reports here :p

It's been ridiculous to even try to get a pre order anywhere. It's been going up in stores and selling out super quick.

sandrik
07-14-2017, 07:29 PM
Trust me it hasn't gone live yet , been tracking it 24/7 from the moment it appeared as a temp listing .

Well i think nintendo underestimated their own franchise as their previous metroid title(federation force) for the 3ds sold very poorly , but yea nintendo always well known for low production numbers on limited editions .

sandrik
07-14-2017, 07:51 PM
For those that want a detailed explanation here it goes :
Usually all amazon sites no matter the region they share the same product code for a specific product , so for example on this occasion the listing was live on amazon.de before amazon.co.uk by a week or so (The product code was : B07339W2V7 on amazon.de so you could replace from this link : https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07339W2V7/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 the de with co.uk and get the uk link for the product , though because the temp listing wasn't even up yet you would get an error/not the product page you were looking for ).
Then all you have to do is to a put a program/ add on to search for changes on that specific page and have it refreshed every 5 or 10 seconds and alert you .
Likewise do the same when the temp listing is up to see when the product is live for pre-ordering . Hope that helps ! cheers

This is what staff at Amazon UK told me:

Me: yes, but when will it be available to preorder?
The standard game has been available to preorder already but this hasn't gone live yet

Suraj Prakash: It is usually available to pre order 30days prior so we are expecting to set up the website for pre order during 2nd week of August.

Me: Thank you

Aren't latest Nintendo LE/CE with the same packaging (with different countries age raitings on box) throughout Europe?

Sometimes they have different language. Not to mention the game itself will probably be the German packaging of the game too with Usk.

What is/was normal retail price for Metroid Samus Returns: Legacy Edition in Europe?
I heard that my local shop get some copies but sometimes they prices are overpriced...

It's around 70€.

For those that already have it (in the EU) - does your box have an "invisible" stamp in the front, near the title?

It says MetroidBundleBox and has a few numbers as well (all of this in reverse). You can feel it if you slide your fingers across the box or when you shine light at the right angle.

It seems to have been done at the factory but the placement is very weird!

Man, been struggling so hard to get this UK one. I've gotta have that steelbook and Metroid II was one of my all time favorite gameboy games! Please keep us posted if anyone finds a legit store come back in stock. May have to resort to eBay along with that FE one I was never able to secure!

Could you check for embossed lettering in the front? It's almost invisible but easy to find if you're looking for it.

I'm trying to figure out if it's a factory thing or if the retailer (MediaMarkt) decided to deface the box and sell it as new.

It is embossed

Just to be 100% sure - I don't mean the title of the game, I mean a bunch of tiny typewriter lettering written in reverse that among a few numbers and letters says "MetroidBundleBox".

Yours also has this (and you didn't buy it at MediaMarkt)?

You don't need to zoom, you can clearly see if you bring your face towards the screen and look between the two words.

You can see small clear word carvings.

Why would any store "deface" whatever? Even if they did something like that, it would be completely out of ignorance. Your edition is new.

I've got a copy coming from Amazon.de, will check it once it arrives.

My wording was not ideal but the point stands - anything done to a Collector's Edition that alters it from what the factory produced is effectively defacing it (ex. writing on the box with permanent marker). It will still be a "new" item but one with permanent damage and lessened value.

Again, can anyone with the EU version of this confirm if theirs has this "watermark"? So far it seems mixed - I'm starting to wonder if it was placed at the distributor level (Spain/Portugal) and not at the store.

Is the German version the same as the UK or other European-ish versions? (All literature and such the same?)

Lol why does everyone says this. Zelda was different in EU and AU. Completely different packaging and content. Pretty sure fire emblem echoes was different too, will have language difference in the packaging.

I said region but I actually meant country. EU is a different region from AUS regardless of both regions having PAL systems. There are a ton of differences between the two. But in EU countries, there's only one edition/bundle from 1st party games by Nintendo and it's been like this for quite a while. There are no real differences in languages or packaging.

Why was you cancelling your FE Treasure Box? o.0 I was debating whether to keep my pre-order too tbh...

Because I felt it was too close to the US version that it didn't warrant me buying it twice. But oh well, I got it now.

Metroid CE is still elusive however :(
