No it Metroid lol...but you bout to play through Balan right lol you will like Balan if you 8 years old its made for the younger demographic but its not as bad as you think. But good luck lmao i played through just wicked easy and repetitive for kids
I hope this sells good, not just because of the Balan bet, but it deserves it. I hate how this series just doesn't sell, and it's always been a great series.
@@WildDogGamerBoy Yep, good ol switch affect. Every Nintendo franchise released on the switch surpassed its predecessor, I see the same thing happening here with Metroid Dread.
When you said this game is actually challenging and not a breeze like every other Nintendo game on Switch(except for maybe Donkey Kong), I got even more excited. Thank you!!!!
I never understood the concept of “if its a challenging game ‘casuals’ won’t like it.” As a kid I never once thought to myself “how hard is it? Because I don’t want to play it if it’s hard.” I just picked up a game because it looked cool. And this looks cool.
Well it boils down to a game that is hard and has multiple barriers likely won't be seen through to the end for those players. Most casuals don't spend a lot of time on video games and if it is a game that requires a significant investment, it can turn them off.. Curious casuals may account for some sales but they'll learn their lesson and avoid future installments. Unless of course it turns out they do totally dig it and just never played that type of game before.
Back in the day videogames were more of a niche thing, so to speak, and now companies try to reach broader audiences. But, yeah, I agree with you. Dread might be challenging at times but Samus controls like a charm. Plus, the game leads you towards the intended path using several methods, so it's not like average players will find themselves lost all the time. Compare this to the original Metroid experience in NES, lol. You were hard-pressed to find your way in that game without using a guide or drawing a map
when you'll be more than 35 and have a job that takes 8 to 9 hours per day, plus an house and a family to mantain, you'll have a couple hours at best for playing per day, and you'll want them to be just fun and not like a second job.
I'm so hyped for this. Finally a Metroidvania game that's actually a Metroid game. I don't know how or why Metroid became one of Nintendo's smaller backseat series, especially after their Prime games, but it feels wrong to have such a huge lack of Metroid for all of these years. Definitely one of their best game franchises. This is a day one buy for me.
Female content creators who are serious about gaming should have been all over the Metroid series a looooonnngg time ago - - - especially considering the love Nintendo through their way with The Other M gem.
as a casual i will say that the only hard part about the game looks to be the EMMI sections the bosses don't look too challenging and even with the EMMI sections you have so many movement options now there are plenty of ways to get away.
I'm also playing the game. The immediate thing you realize is that you're gonna die A LOT. I'm 4 hours into the game and still can't counterattack the EMMI's perfectly. As far as the difficulty, it's not Cuphead or even Ori's level of difficulty, but the game is definitely challenging.
@@ultimate9057 I doubt it is already running exceptionally well on emulators. It usually take a while. Plus the game has shipped long ago to the shops and so on.
@@bern9642 Can confirm that on ryujinx switch emulator the game runs perfectly and looks amazing in 1440p. The only issue is the initial main menu, apart from that everything runs at a perfect 60 with no visual issues and im about 3hrs in so far
I came from RGT 85's latest video. I'm downloading this in case of this being taken down by RGT 85 himself since he told he's thinking of deleting this or maybe by Nintendo themselves.
Man it's crazy. This guy gets all Nintendo 3rd party games even if the ports are average. Also he has talked and asked people to try Metroid in all of his videos and here we go Nintendo.
Now I know why they called this Metroid: DREAD. You can really feel the dread while you are chased by the EMMIs. I started to play it last night and this is an amazing game!
@Zachary Erickson prime was easy and cheesey not a real Metroid. This game is going to be great and the casual players from the crappy gen z need to let it step on their necks and spit in their faces and get good like we had to back in the nes/ sms and SNES/Genesis days keep playing learn to get better and quit complaining like babies
The moment you said that this game is so difficult, oh god I can't WAIT for this! I'm going to absolutely LOVE this game. I've taken a week off this month JUST for this game!
I don’t think Shawn feels the game CAN’T sell 3 million, I think he thinks the fans (rather the people who scream it’s dope but won’t buy) won’t based on past Metroid releases.
I think it's more that there aren't enough die-hard Metroid fans, and it's a challenging game for casual players, so once we all get our copies it won't continue to sell after the first few months like Mario Kart or Zelda games do.
Thanks for this review - talking about how challenging it is and how easy it is to get lost in where you're trying to go makes me realize it isn't for me. I'm a casual gamer and too much of a challenge frustrates me, I don't have the patience for it. Might borrow someone else's though.
I love all the callbacks to Metroid Fusion in the game’s intro. Having a blast with this game and I really hope Nintendo sees success with it so that we can get more of this series without having to wait another 20yrs.
This game is awesome so far, I got it early thanks to Amazon. Loving how cryptic and challenging it can be. I wander for a half hour sometimes before finding what to do, and when I do it's very satisfying
Totally unrelated, but I really appreciate how toned-down your voice is in your more recent videos. I think the yelling-adjacent stuff was a bit much and made your videos hard to binge. But your cadence is much more laidback and controlled in recent ones, so I appreciate it. It's more welcoming. :)
It's also because he's reading an essay he wrote. That's how his reviews are. Well written and spoken well vs some reviewers just going ham on their review.
I've always been a pretty big Metroid fan even though I've never been good enough to complete any of them I just can't wait for this one to come out because it looks so amazing
I’ve been watching your whole Metroid dread thang from day one. I don’t comment on youtube very often. But I want to thank you for this video as I can see your objective ness shine. I think you will get this feeling from many of your viewers . Thanks my dude! I can’t wait to get this Metroid game in hand 2 days from now. Keep doin you!
I have to say, this is the first Metroid game I’ve played since super Metroid and i was too young and really sucked at it. I decided to give Metroid dread a try since the visuals in the marketing looked pretty good. And let me tell you I’m glad I did. I love the game and makes me want to go back and play the other Metroid games. 10/10 for me.
I'm glad you mentioned the difficulty element of it. I'm a busy dad to twin toddlers and really don't have the time to dedicate to becoming good, or the mental capacity for additional stress in my life 😅 On top of that, I've never played a Metroid game before, so I'm not invested. Happy for those that are excited for the game though :)
I’m a dad to 2 kids. But I can’t imagine how hard twins must be. Do you have any other hobbies? Maybe you can play here and there like I do. Plus I can’t wait to take my 4 year old to get this game at the store!
I'm really happy that this game fixed nearly all my problem with Samus Returns. It didn't fix the wall jump, but I like it better in Dread just because you can use it to preserve your Speed Booster, and that made for some really fun puzzles. This game is outstanding, and I'm so glad I didn't wait for my physical copy to arrive in a few days.
I've been watching for a while without subscribing. But you quoting skynet by the acacia strain (and also making many wrestling references)won my heart. Take this sub my guy.
“Let em spit in your face, let em step on your neck.” Lmao. You’re totally right though, good Metroidvanias make you better at gaming as a whole if you take the time to learn them. Day 1 pickup for me, in fact I will always break my no-preorder rule for Metroid. Gonna try and get a Special Edition if possible too. I think all of us (including you!) want you to play Balan Wonderworld.
Looks like the time has almost come, can’t wait to play this and watch Shaun play Balan WonderWorld, wonder which version he’ll be playing, hopefully the Nintendo Switch version; also known as the “best” one.
I just rewatched this video because of the Nintendo Ninja issues and I must say I enjoyed the content. So well detailed in your review. Sir, Nintendo should be paying you for boosting their sales. Keep up the good work boss mon.
Big Metroidvania fan after playing Hollow Knight a couple of years ago. Ended up picking up 2 copies of the game, a standard and a special edition. This will be my first Metroid game that I will play in its entirety. Very excited.
@@Symphony85p even if Hollow Knight was a AAA game, I refuse to argue about something that entirely subjective. And while 2D Castlevania is amazing, it’s been 13 years since the last one. I have no problems debating, but your premise is so awful that I just can’t.
I have to ask. Can you use both the dpad and left analog stick to move? I prefer a control scheme where you move with the dpad, free aim with the left analog stick, and switch aeon abilities with the right analog stick
Lol, my man sounding like my 6 year old trying to read and talk at the same time. I kid, I kid. I can't wait to play this. I really loved Samus returns on 3ds.
Does anyone know how to get that item in Burenia when you have to shinespark but have no space due to hills and water. I’ve been stuck here for awhile?
Why did it take me this long to realize that Samus and megaman are basically the same character LOL? It's probably the ground slide that gave it away LOL
This is my second 2D Metroid game, and I freaking LOVE it. I was up until 4 AM just looking for missile tanks, lol. It's so fun to move through. I'm a fan of Metroidvanias, and I think that this one might be my favorite one yet.
The only nitpick I have with Dread is the ability progression rate later on in the game. For the first 5 or 6 hours new abilities are paced well. After that, there’s a point where you don’t get a single new ability for an hour or two, only for the game to then throw quite a few new abilities at you within the span of an hour. It’s not really a dealbreaker, but it kinda feels weird considering you fight a few bosses back-to-back with the same toolkit.
would hope people have the wherewithal to just look up where to go and let the people who want a challenge find it for themselves. Thanks for the review! I didn't watch any footage but the review audio was just fine^^
Are you SHOCKED that I loved the game? You shouldn't be, freaking weirdos. lol. Enjoy the vid!

Agreed. The one typical downside of Nintendo games is that they tend to be too easy. Good to see Nintendo make something that is legit hard.

This game is anything but cryptic. It constantly locks doors and puts portals in your route that always take you exactly where you need to go next.

@@PatsMac_10 Jesus calm down, it was supposed to be a joke.
@Zachary Erickson in the original title, it was revew. I found it funny for no apparent reason.
The only nitpick I have with Dread is the ability progression rate later on in the game. For the first 5 or 6 hours new abilities are paced well. After that, there’s a point where you don’t get a single new ability for an hour or two, only for the game to then throw quite a few new abilities at you within the span of an hour. It’s not really a dealbreaker, but it kinda feels weird considering you fight a few bosses back-to-back with the same toolkit.
Looks like a $30-$40 game at most.
What’s wrong with you? Comparing indie games like Metroid to actual Metroid?
@@mikej2020 what’s wrong with you having to copy and paste the same comment multiple times?

would hope people have the wherewithal to just look up where to go and let the people who want a challenge find it for themselves. Thanks for the review! I didn't watch any footage but the review audio was just fine^^
I'm going to pirate a copy for my modded Switch for me and my friends. I recommend you all do the same. Blow me Nintendo.

I opened up a switch and an original game boy advance.
Then i put the switch insides within the gba shell.
I'm a madd scientist.
