Beyond the high-quality art and developer sketches, the book includes:

• A foreword by Kensuke Tanabe, the producer of Metroid Prime.
• Retro Studios' introductions to each game in the series.
• Producer anecdotes, commentary, and analysis of the artwork.
• A premium, stitch-bound art book printed on high-quality paper with a cloth hardcover and metallic foil Samus etching.
• Available in a single hardcover edition.

With 212 pages of captivating content, fans will gain exclusive insights into the development process and creative inspirations behind these four iconic games. The art book is priced at £39.99 / €44.99 / A$74.95 and is available for pre-order on Piggyback's website.

Piggyback's Track Record with Nintendo

This isn't Piggyback's first collaboration with Nintendo. The publisher previously produced official strategy guides for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, renowned for their comprehensive coverage of Hyrule's secrets, collectibles, and quests. These guides even included details on DLC content.

Piggyback's proven ability to create visually stunning and informative guides, as seen in their BOTW and TOTK offerings, promises a similarly high-quality experience for Metroid Prime 1-3: A Visual Retrospective.
