Yoshio Sakamoto explains how Metroid Dread is not a horror game.
Big Switch hits holiday sale now live for the end of 2023 including lowest price ever for Nintendo Switch Sports, Metroid Dread, and more.
Enric Álvarez, the CEO of Metroid Dread developer MercurySteam, has revealed that the title has now sold over three million copies worldwide.
It’s good to see Metroid do well. Hopefully we hear something soon about Metroid Prime 4
Wait up, 3 million worldwide out of a possible 120 million is considered good for a legendary franchise like metroid?
Metroid has never sold super well. Lots of people under under the mistaken impression that, because franchises like Mario Kart, Smash Bros., 3D Mario games, more recent Zelda games, and Animal Crossing sell huge numbers, that all Nintendo franchises sell at that level, and that they always have.
This is pretty good for a Metroid. Dread will probably end up being the best-selling game in the franchise, if it isn't already.
Metroid Prime was said to have sold 2.8 million copies, so Dread is likely the best selling game in the series.
Metroid Dread cans can now pre-order the E.M.M.I. figma. It also now has a release date and some new photos.
I loved the horror feel of fusion. Fits metroid very well since youre in space all alone as the only human in locations filled with nothing but alien monsters.
Metroid 2 and Super Metroid were quite creepy games. Metroid Fusion had that sense of dread whenever SA-X was pursuing you.
Then call it Metroid: Courage.
I was hoping for a 3d return of Metroid, but this concept is so cool i can't wait to get my hands on it. Its amazing that this was supposed to be a sequel for the original game. Glad he was able to make it.
I never got a horror vibe from it. Just that sense of being in an unknown environment like other Metroid games. I guess that’s a type of horror to some.
