As I turned through the pages, it made me remember of the adventures I had with the games when I played them long ago. Makes one appreciate the games even more. Truly gives Metroid fans great quality art with some added commentary into the insight of some of the characters, landscape and design process. A great collector's item for the series. Prepares you for the art that will eventually come out of Metroid Prime 4's game when it is released. Review: A Visual Treat for Metroid Fans Worth Every Cent - This is certainly a beautiful retrospective book that takes me all the way back to the original game for the GameCube in 2002 and does indeed have high-quality stitched binding and a nice canvas cloth-style hardcover, a very solidly built book. The illustrations are nice and clean and the colors are lovely, and the pages are on a nice art paper that is a bit more matte, so there isn't a lot of annoying glare when you're trying to read the pages under a bright light. The concept art covered in the book is expansive and thorough, covering all three games in the original trilogy, as well as "Metroid Prime Remastered". It doesn't feel skimpy and low-effort. Overall, everything a Metroid fan might be waiting for, and a wonderful prelude to Metroid Prime 4 (as of the time of this writing, due to come out December 4th here in the US). If there were any critiques, it would be that the gray used on some of the names of creatures/characters is a bit hard to see because they blend too well with the backgrounds. It would've helped, design-wise, if they'd used a black or white outline on the letters for that reason. One more thing of note I'd like to add is that Piggyback went the extra mile with protecting the book for shipping by putting it inside a stiff mailer; it's always nice to see companies give a bit of a fig so that customers are happy with what they receive. Nicely done, Piggyback! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #12,733 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #13 in Video Game Art (Books) #814 in Comics & Graphic Novels (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (281) | | Dimensions | 9 x 1.2 x 12 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1913330273 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1913330279 | | Item Weight | 1.74 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 208 pages | | Publication date | October 28, 2025 | | Publisher | Piggyback | ## Images ![Metroid Prime 1–3: A Visual Retrospective: The Official Art and Making of Metroid Prime 1–3 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61a-Omv+wDL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for the Metroid Prime Fan *by J***. on October 29, 2025* Very high quality art book showcasing a lot of the art in all three games from Retro.

Nicely done, Piggyback! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic collectors item for any Metroid fans *by S***E on November 15, 2025* The art in this book is fantastic. I grew up playing the Metroid Prime trilogy, I even go back and play the Wii remake trilogy once a year. The quality of the book itself is fantastic. I'm not the biggest fan of the fabric used to cover the book but for how well this book is made it's a small gripe. Highly recommend for any fans of Metroid Prime! ## Frequently Bought Together - Metroid Prime 1–3: A Visual Retrospective: The Official Art and Making of Metroid Prime 1–3 - Metaphor: ReFantazio Official Strategy Guide - Catherine + Catherine Full Body: Ultimate Art Portfolio --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/678090938-metroid-prime-1-3-a-visual-retrospective-the-official-art](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/678090938-metroid-prime-1-3-a-visual-retrospective-the-official-art) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-06-24*
