A Visual Retrospective of Metroid Prime's 20-Year Legacy

Celebrating Metroid Prime 1-3 and Beyond

Piggyback, renowned for its high-quality gaming guides, is partnering with Nintendo and Retro Studios to produce Metroid Prime 1-3: A Visual Retrospective. This art book promises a comprehensive journey through two decades of Metroid Prime game development.

According to Piggyback's website, the book will feature a wealth of "drawings, sketches, and assorted illustrations" from across the Metroid Prime series. But it's more than just a visual feast; it delves into the creative process behind Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and the recently remastered title.

Metroid Prime Artbook: Developer Insights and Stunning ArtworkBeyond the captivating artwork and developer sketches, the art book includes:

  • A foreword by Kensuke Tanabe, the producer of Metroid Prime.
  • Introductions to each game written by Retro Studios.
  • Producer anecdotes, commentary, and insightful perspectives on the artwork.
  • Premium materials: a stitch-bound, sheet-fed art paper with a cloth hardcover featuring a metallic foil Samus etching.
  • Available in a single (hardcover) edition.

This 212-page masterpiece provides unparalleled insight into the creation of these four iconic games, revealing the inspirations and creative journey of the development team. The book is priced at £39.99 / €44.99 / A$74.95. While not yet available for purchase, keep an eye on Piggyback's website for updates.

A Track Record of Success: Piggyback and Nintendo's Past Collaborations

Piggyback's Previous Work with NintendoThis isn't Piggyback's first collaboration with Nintendo.
