Amazon Finally Cancelling Original Metroid Prime 4 Pre-Orders

In 2017, Nintendo announced they were working on Metroid Prime 4, to great fanfare and excitement from fans.

As typical of major game releases, Amazon opened pre-orders for the title so that fans could reserve a copy early. However, all were blissfully unaware that it would take over 7 years for the game to actually come out, resurfacing last year under the official title Metroid Prime 4: Beyond.

Now, it seems Amazon has finally gotten around to cancelling those early pre-orders. As reported on the Metroid subreddit, those who pre-ordered the game back in 2017 are receiving notices that their pre-orders are being cancelled due to “a lack of availability”.

Metroid Prime 4 – Nintendo Switch, Sold by Amazon.com Services, Inc

Hello, due to a lack of availability, we will not be able to obtain the following item from your order. We’ve canceled the item and apologize for the inconvenience. If you see a charge for the canceled item, we will refund you within 1-2 business days. If you are still interested in purchasing this item, it may be available from other sellers. Please visit the detail page for this item.

This seems to not affect pre-orders made under the game’s official title, but fans who had their original orders will presumably have to pre-order the game again as Metroid Prime 4: Beyond.

What do you think? Let us know in the comments.
