Great job on the OT Kindekuma - I love seeing high effort OTs like this which really embody the franchise or title the OT is about.
I've got my Special Edition arriving later this week but I also got a code for the game but I can't say much about it yet - I always appreciate industry folks hooking me up with game codes even though I'm not a reviewer. Looking forward to seeing what those review scores end up at and what people make of the game here when they get the game in just a few days.
So far, it has reignited a Metroid passion in me which is making me want to go back and play Zero Mission (GBA), Samus Returns (3DS), Super Metroid (Switch Online) and Fusion (GBA) all over again.

The story that's relevant to this one is from Fusion and Samus Returns, but Dread tells you basically everything you need to do with a quick recap at the beginning of the game. They've said it's perfectly fine for someone new to the 2D games to play this first.
The story is really not important at all. It's just a little extra flavor. You're fine to start with any of the games.
To prevent Samus from boiling in that tin can suit of hers.
Without the coat protecting her from the sun she would be stewing in her own juices!
It's time! Been playing Super for the first time as a lead up, and yeah, it's status is warranted.
Ready for Friday, provided Gamestop delivers on time!

My first Metroid game. I've had so many first time experiences with Nintendo series on the Switch and I'm hoping this will rank high amongst the others. I understand that Prime 4 is meant to be a much different experience when that eventually releases, but I like what I've seen of Dread.
So she can rip it off dramatically when a fight ensues
Also it's weird that Metroid used to be my favorite series of all time, yet I'm only cautiously optimistic for this. I never got around to Samus Returns and all that downtime over the years has kind of left me feeling pretty distant from it all. Here's hoping Dread can relight that fire.
I beat it with 5 hours and 38% my first playthrough. I'll go for the 100% today and see how long that ends up being.
Great OT, I'm so pumped for this. Preordered digitally and ready to go.
(I normally don't preorder, but hey: I played Other M back in the day and this HAS to be better!)

I think the game time doesn't take into account when you die and redo fights like previous 2D Metroid games, so it's probably longer than 5 for you.
I only died around 4-6 times so maybe add like 15-20 min
Metroid is my favorite series so I'm not expecting my time to be the average or anything

Great thread title, but honestly it still feels a little surreal that this thread (and game) even exists.
Excited for Friday!

It was very good. I was getting bored of the EMMI by the third one but they're fine I guess. The music is definitely lacking.
Not sure where I'd rank it. Probably Super > ZM > Dread?
I will definitely be replaying the game. I couldn't finish a replay of Samus Returns if that tells you anything.
Holy fuck my girl Samus is back. 😭 Haven't bought a new Metroid game since Metroid Prime 2, it's been so long.
We pray as one!
Can't freaking believe I'll be playing DREAD this week.
I remember being excited for this game half my life ago.

so, it's pretty pricey, but it does ship to the us and canada if you're all okay with pegi/usk versions of the game. and for pal users, that's even less of an issue:
