Metroid 2020 Wall Calendar

The Metroid 2020 Wall Calendar is an official Metroid-themed calendar that was released on July 30, 2019. Created by Nintendo and published by Abrams Books, the 12x12 calendar covers 16 months and features artwork from each game in the series, from Metroid to Metroid: Samus Returns. Holidays observed primarily in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand are marked on the calendar. It contains 13 illustrations and is sized 12 x 12. The calendar is priced at $14.99 USD. Its ISBN number is 978-1-4197-3670-4, and its EAN number is 9781419736704. The cover uses the iconic key art of Metroid II: Return of Samus, with the more recent Samus Returns orange Metroid logo above Samus herself.
A second Metroid calendar for 2021 was made available for preorder in January 2020. The images were removed from Amazon's public listings shortly after the calendar page was published. This calendar's artwork focuses on the original Prime trilogy, although the image for December features a Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Samus render set against the background of the Metroid: Samus Returns stock art.
==Description==
===2020===
"Bring peace to the galaxy in 2020 with renowned bounty hunter Samus Aran. This exciting 16-month calendar features artwork spanning the events of Samus Aran's career in Nintendo's Metroid series, starting with the original 1986 Metroid, through the Prime series, and concluding with a return to Planet SR388 in Metroid: Samus Returns™. Suit up against Space Pirates, Metroids, and everything else that comes your way this year."
;About the Author:"The worldwide pioneer in the creation of interactive entertainment, Nintendo Co., Ltd., of Kyoto, Japan, manufactures and markets hardware and software for its Wii U™ and Wii™ home consoles, and Nintendo 3DS™ and Nintendo DS™ families of portable systems."
This description makes no mention of the Nintendo Switch, likely because while Metroid Prime 4 is still in development, there are currently no new Metroid titles on the console (exclusive demo versions of the NES Metroid notwithstanding).
===2021===
"Suit up with Samus Aran as you battle against the Space Pirates, Ridley, and the Metroid Prime in 2021. This 12-month calendar highlights this intergalactic bounty hunter's journey throughout Nintendo's classic Metroid Prime series, featuring art from Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. Protect the Galactic Federation from the spread of Phazon and stop Dark Samus to restore peace to the universe."
