Metroid Dread Anniversary: Nintendo Restocks Limited Edition Holographic Posters on Switch eShop

Metroid Dread Reaches One-Year Milestone as Nintendo Restocks Exclusive Holographic Poster Sets In October 2022, Nintendo marked the first anniversary of Metroid Dread’s launch on Nintendo Switch by restocking the highly sought-after holographic poster set on its official US online store.

The move comes as a celebration of both the game’s remarkable commercial success and its enduring popularity within the Metroid series. Developed by MercurySteam and published by Nintendo, Metroid Dread debuted on October 8, 2021, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.

The game quickly became a standout title, revitalizing the classic "Metroidvania" genre and earning widespread acclaim for its polished gameplay and atmospheric storytelling.

Players can still experience the thrill of Samus Aran’s latest adventure by accessing the free demo available on the Switch eShop. In May 2022, official sales figures revealed that Metroid Dread had become the best-selling game in the Metroid series, with over 2.9 million units sold worldwide—a record that outpaced the original Metroid Prime’s long-standing sales figures.

This achievement underscores the Switch platform’s broad appeal and MercurySteam’s ability to rejuvenate a beloved franchise for both new and longtime fans. To commemorate the game's ongoing success, Nintendo has reintroduced the exclusive holographic poster set featuring striking artwork from Metroid Dread.

Available exclusively through the Nintendo online store in the United States, these posters are described as highly collectible and only available while supplies last.

The official restock coincides with the game's anniversary, giving fans a unique opportunity to immortalize their appreciation for the series. A Nintendo spokesperson noted that the restock is highly limited, stating that the items are available in restricted quantities and are expected to sell out quickly due to high demand.

The company encourages fans interested in these exclusive collectibles to act promptly to secure their piece of Metroid history. Since its release, Metroid Dread has continued to make an impact both critically and commercially, further solidifying Nintendo Switch’s reputation as a premier platform for classic franchises and modern hits alike.

The game’s success, bolstered by MercurySteam’s innovative development approach, highlights the lasting popularity of the Metroid series—a legacy now celebrated with another round of limited edition memorabilia. For fans eager to revisit Samus’s latest journey or those looking to own a piece of Metroid art, the poster set is available now, exclusively from Nintendo’s US online store.

As with all limited-edition releases, availability is not guaranteed, emphasizing once again that supplies remain limited.
