Something new for streamers and die-hard fans

So much happened at today’s Nintendo Direct, even Metroid-dread squeezed in for a moment. If you’re looking for a gnarly challenge, or perhaps a leg up, there are two new modes joining the game today in a free update: Dread Mode and Rookie Mode.

Metroid-dread‘s February 9 update:

• Dread Mode — one hit, one kill. If Samus takes damage, that’s the end of the saga. You’ll need to clear Hard Mode first to unlock Dread.
• Rookie-modus — an exploration-minded option with more HP from items and less damage from bosses.
• Expanded Mission Results — further stats to pore over including “Total Play Time (which includes time spent on the in-game map and all retries), Item Collection Rate, Times Defeated, Total Damage Received, and more.”

Another update planned for April:

• Boss Rush — a race to clear all of the bosses back-to-back. A genre staple!

Een van mijn favoriete onderdelen van Castlevania games is rushing down bosses, so I’ll definitely loop back around on Metroid-dread. I’m not in the mood to replay it all — the first playthrough was great, but that was genoeg, and I’m honestly disappointed that’s how things shook out. That said, I pretty much adored the bosses. Especially hem.

If you’re curious to try Metroid-dread, there is a demo, and in fact, Nintendo just updated it with the new Rookie Mode and the Corpius boss fight.

I wasn’t really expecting to hear anything new on Metroid Prime, so that’s fine. And when it comes to Nintendo’s track record with content updates for well-liked games with big audiences, well, your guess is as good as mine. This ended up being a pleasant surprise.
