It’s eat or be eaten!

Samus – Metroid Ravenous Series: Samus Aran, one of the greatest bounty hunters in the galaxy. Capable of completing any mission—no matter the danger.
Chozo Statue – Metroid Ravenous Series: This amiibo figure is larger than standard size. In the Metroid series of games, the Chozo are a highly intelligent, peaceful, and technologically advanced bird-like species. These sentinel statues depicting their likeness offer secrets and powers Samus can use to upgrade her suit.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity – Definitive Edition (February 25, 2027)

Developer: KOEI TECMO

Price: $69.99

File Size: 22 GB

Fight through Hyrule’s great calamity—now enhanced for the Nintendo Switch™ 2 system

Battle hordes of Hyrule’s most formidable foes, from barbaric Bokoblins to towering Lynels, and join the struggle that brought Hyrule to its knees. Choose from a host of fighters—including Link, Zelda, the four Champions, and more, each with their own style and abilities—as you fight to defend Hyrule from the rise of Calamity Ganon.

The Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity – Definitive Edition game takes the story of how Ganon nearly destroyed the world and renders it all with enhanced resolution and frame rate. It also includes the Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity Expansion Pass DLC, which increases the number of fighters from 18 to 21.

Take on the ultimate challenge with Calamity Mode difficulty: Feeling brave? Calamity Mode is the most challenging way to experience Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity – Definitive Edition. The enemies are tougher and more numerous, and healing items are much less effective!

Fortunately, if you’re looking to get help from a friend, this version of the game also offers GameShare* support, which means whether you want to play split-screen on a single system, or on two separate systems via local wireless or online via GameChat, only one person needs to have the game.
