These collectible figures are compatible with Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 platforms, offering in-game bonuses and expanded interactivity. A Nintendo spokesperson described the milestone by stating the company is thrilled to bring a new chapter of the Metroid Prime saga to both dedicated fans and newcomers, highlighting the simultaneous release across two console generations and the introduction of unique Amiibo as evidence of their ongoing commitment to the franchise.
