Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is planned to launch on Nintendo Switch sometime this year, but Nintendo is already prepping for next year with a new Metroid 2026 Wall Calendar. The $16 calendar is a piece of official Nintendo merch and will launch on July 15 alongside several other themes based on popular franchises. The cover art for next year’s Metroid calendar matches the edition from 2021, which appears to be the most recent Metroid edition.
$16 | Releases July 15
The official Metroid 2026 Wall Calendar–and the other full-size Nintendo wall calendars–measure 12 inches by 24 inches when unfolded and is printed on FSC-certified paper with soy-based ink. It covers January to December 2026 in a standard daily grid format like you find on most other wall calendars, and each day offers space for writing notes, appointments, and reminders. There are also labels for official major world holidays and observances, as well as moon phases based on Universal Time. The top half of each month features art and renders from Nintendo franchises, but it’s unclear if the Metroid calendar will come with any Prime 4 art.
While the main part of the Nintendo calendars is for 2026, you won’t have to wait until next year to use it, as it includes a planning spread section for September to December 2025 that you can use to organize the last few months of this year.
Outside of the Metroid calendar, Amazon is taking preorders for 2026 wall calendars based on Super Mario, Donkey Kong, Pokemon, and more. There’s a modern Super Mario edition featuring 3D character art as well as an 8-bit edition from the plumber’s days spent hopping through stages on the NES. The Super Mario Bros. 8-Bit Retro 2026 Wall Calendar includes six die-cut notecards that can be folded to create 3D models of enemies from the original NES game: Blooper, Lakitu, Cheep Cheep, Hammer Bros., Spiny, and Buzzy Beetle.
Multiple Pokemon calendars are up for preorder, including mini and full-size wall calendars as well as the Pokemon Day-to-Day 2026 Calendar. This $18 desktop calendar features art from the Pokemon Horizons anime.
With the exception of the Pikmin edition, which releases August 19, all of the 2026 Nintendo calendars release July 15.

The Legend of Zelda fans can pair the 2026 Zelda Wall Calendar with an official weekly planner. The 176-page hardcover book has a grain-embossed textured cover to give it a premium look and feel. The cover has a gold foil-stamped Hylian Crest and franchise logo.
The weekly/monthly planner covers September 2025 through December 2026. You can preorder The Legend of Zelda 16-Month Planner for $20 at Amazon ahead of its June 3 release.
Nintendo 2025 Wall Calendars
But since it’s only January, it’s not too late to buy a 2025 calendar. Nintendo made a handful of those, too. Multiple of the 2025 Nintendo wall calendars are available at discounted prices, including a Super Mario-themed edition for $11.60 and a Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom version for $14.34. The 8-Bit Retro 2025 Wall Calendar is only $12.60 and comes with six die-cut notecards as well. This year’s edition focuses on items from the original Super Mario Bros. game. You can put together small 3D models of the following six items: Super Mushroom, Super Star, Fire Flower, 1-Up Mushroom, the Question Block, and coins.
For retro enthusiasts, there’s a Mario calendar with 8-bit images from the plumbers days spent hopping through stages on the NES. This one also comes with six die-cut notecards that can be folded to create 3D models of a Super Mushroom, Fire Flower, and more items from Super Mario Bros. The Mario Retro 2025 Wall Calendar is on sale for $12.60.
More Metroid Merch
Metroid fans looking for merch that’s a bit more exciting than a calendar, how about an official art book focused on the Metroid Prime Trilogy? Slated to release this summer, Metroid Prime 1-3: A Visual Retrospective is a 212-page hardcover book published by Piggyback in collaboration with Nintendo. Piggyback previously created the wonderful (and gorgeous) guidebooks for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild–both of which are steeply discounted at Amazon–so Metroid fans should be in for a treat. Amazon is offering a 10% discount on the upcoming Metroid book that drops the price to $45 (was $50).
With two pieces of official Metroid Prime merchandise dropping so close together, maybe we’ll finally be playing Prime 4 by then? Or it could very well just be a coincidence.
As for Metroid merch you can pick up right now, Amazon has deals on official Metroid apparel, including T-shirts, long-sleeves, hoodies, and more, with designs based on Super Metroid, Metroid Prime, and other games in the series.
