Here’s the full statement from Nintendo, courtesy of Nintendo Life: In response, the company shared that it will be making an effort to provide restocks “as soon as possible”. But the published story makes McTrOiD’s screenshot seem like it was fabricated after the fact - something that's become an alarming trend lately.Having trouble finding physical copes of Metroid Prime Remastered at your local game store? Well, you may want to keep an eye out for restocks soon.įollowing the launch of the game’s physical edition in February which quickly sold out at multiple US retail stores, Nintendo of America has come out with an official statement recognizing that there is “strong demand” for the title. If TechPlusGame had included a screenshot or more details about the circumstances of the Best Buy listing, then this might seem more believable. McTrOiD claimed that the direct link to Best Buy worked on Sunday, but it's unclear if that's the truth. It appears that TechPlusGame used that link for its brief Metroid Prime Trilogy story on Sunday. But we also have to take into consideration that Wario64's information came in the wake of April Fools' Day, casting a cloud of doubt on everything.Īlch3m1stz seemingly used Wario64’s leaked SKU to take an educated guess about how the Best Buy site would generate a link for Metroid Prime Trilogy.

These documents contained the game’s alleged stock keeping unit (SKU) code that Best Buy would use to archive it in its system. In early April 2019, Wario64 tweeted screenshots of Best Buy’s employee system which mentioned the Metroid Prime Trilogy for the Nintendo Switch. Wario64 has accurately leaked details about Valve’s Index virtual reality headset and that Overwatch was being ported to the Nintendo Switch, so they do have some credibility. The TechPlusGame post where McTrOiD claims he found the Best Buy link. The redditor who originally posted the image to Reddit, u/alch3m1stz, explicitly said that they made up the link based on an April 2019 Metroid Prime Trilogy leak by trusted games insider Wario64. The same URL TechPlusGame linked out to in its story - the same one that McTrOiD supposedly got their screenshot from - was also posted on Reddit on Ap(mere hours after April Fools' Day ended). Even then, the link it provides to the Best Buy listing produces an error. When Inverse visited the link on Monday, it did not work, but it has since been restored.

They claimed that they found the information about Best Buy Metroid Prime Trilogy page in a Sunday news article by TechPlusGame. “It has a link to the listing and I instantly had to tweet that out since no one else was talking about it.” “It was around 6:30ish went on Google and I just saw this article of the situation,” the person who runs the McTrOid account told Inverse. When Inverse asked the leaker where they found the alleged Best Buy listing, McTrOiD’s story didn't quite add up.

McTrOiD’s tweet was written about by several video game news sites Monday morning, which stirred another wave of Metroid Prime Trilogy rumors. The Best Buy screenshot that made waves Monday. The image showed a listing for “Metroid Prime Trilogy - Nintendo Switch.” We're led to assume that the retailer accidentally published the landing page for the game before Nintendo even announced the title. It all started with a screenshot of Best Buy’s website that was tweeted by Metroid fan account McTrOiD on Sunday. This leak set off Inverse’s BS alarm from the outset, and as much as we want to believe that Samus will make her glorious comeback on the Switch sometime soon, there’s too much evidence that suggests this latest Metroid information is a total fake. Sadly, the sad truth is just a year-old April Fools' Day joke that has somehow been recycled to spread misinformation yet again. Just how accurate is this 'leak,' however But there was a glimmer of hope for fans on Sunday when an alleged leak for a Best Buy listing seemingly revealed that the long-rumored remastered version of Metroid Prime Trilogy (2009) would soon be coming to the Switch. There has been a glaring absence of Metroid games on the Nintendo Switch, especially since the highly-anticipated Metroid Prime 4 has faced enough delays that the franchise seems even more lost in space than ever before.
