Metroid Dread: Special Edition - Nintendo Switch

This is specific to the special edition items and not a game review (I haven’t finished it yet). The Box - Really impressive. It is embossed and has several different textures and finishes that really makes it pop. You have to see it in person to really appreciate it. This looks great on a shelf. The cardboard piece that holds everything in place even has a few E.M.M.I.’s embossed on it. Nice touch! The Steel Book - Very nice. The minimal styling works well as there is no text on the case, just Samus front and center. My only complaint is it’s not as stout as I was expecting, it’s essentially a heavy gauge aluminum. The Art Cards - Amazing. These are my favorite part of the special edition. They all have an iridescent finish similar to the box. Each has an emblem on top representing the shape of Samus’ visor for that particular game. I can’t wait to get these framed and hung in my wall. The Art Book - Really cool. I like that the cover frames this book as Samus’s mission log. The art within is organized chronologically by each of Samus’ “missions” (ie games). FYI the Art is representative of the mainline games included in the art cards (no Metroid Prime art). The cover is solid and pages are a heavy weight. This will hold up well. This is really a great special edition for Metroid fans. It is definitely worth it for the MSRP of $90. Oh, and for what it’s worth the is game pretty good too.

I got the special edition of Metroid Dread and it's really cool. It really got me feeling like a kid again for a moment. I don't buy collectors editions but I had to have this growing up with these games on nes and snes. Also has anyone seen the video review of the psycho throwing her Metroid game in the sink and turning the water on, saying I won't let this evil hurt anyone else or something in review. Hahahaa, look for it if you haven't seen it. These are the type of people that complain about the game being hard, okay, don't buy it and move on then to another game or like the other day I seen review complaints of the classic gameboy advance giving 1-2 stars for dim screen. Some people, man. It's a classic GBA. Should have got a sp. It's not the sellers fought you're a moron. Now I know some complaints are legit but a lot of em aren't. Figured I say this because I get this thought more than I can count when I see these reviews. Anyway "antonline" is who I got my special edition from and the box was in near mint condition but thats not their fought, it's a card board box, but I bet somebody would complain about it. It was in excellent condition no dents or anything. I saw some people were having problems with best buy by putting this edition in a damn, envelopes, too. Antonline is based out of the Atlanta area and I recommend them as a seller. Satisfied. Ya'll pray for some of these people in the reviews, haha. Although it's good entertainment sometimes, these are real NPCs.

amazing bundle with way more than expected 🎮🕹️💜 This was made with love. You can tell just by the quality and presentation of the whole thing. The recycled material tray with the E.M.M.I in the background, the "felt" velvety material on the art cards... And last of all, the art book, is HARDCOVER. This was why I had actually bought 2 SE, one from USA (last minute deal) and one from Amazon JP. And the difference is massive; The US actually has a nicer presentation. Only true difference is that the JPN version includes both steelbook and regular plastic case. The steelbook are different too, as the USA has a brushed metal whereas JP has glossed metal. The art cards are also different to reflect the region. But the US have a shiny glossy effect whereas JP is more shiny and prettier art. Biggest difference, art books. USA is hardcover while JP is soft cover. All in all, I am VERY pleased with both purchases. Even the amiibos came from Japan (even tho since I got rehired by game Stop, I was able to get a double pack too) and came with special acrylic art slides. Thank you for that, Amazon 💜🕹️🎮 Best bundle I ever got. As a metroid fan, this was well worth the wait and monies. 🙏💜 🕹️🎮💵💰

Metroid dread is simply awesome! The extras that come with the special edition are worth it! The artwork book is filled with amazing illustrations of the past Metroid titles, right up to Dread, in order of their release. The added cards also feature artwork from previous Metroid titles as well. These extras are what collector's like myself look forward to from special version of a game. The game itself is incredibly well done. Gameplay is smooth, graphics are amazing and overall performance is excellent. However, my package came with some damge on the outer box and the inner cardboard holder for the steelbook and Metroid cards was also damaged. Luckily the game, steelbook and Metroid cards wasn't damaged. The artbook had a few minor crinkles on the edges. A bit disappointing. The packing condition aside, I'm extremely pleased with the Metroid Dread Special Edition! A must-have for Switch owners!

This isn't just a special edition celebrating Metroid Dread, but a collection of the story behind this saga. The art book is an incredible piece that compliments any coffee table for those choosing to spend this piece as a conversation starter rather than behind a glass case. Moving on to the steel case, this is an object meant to be displayed. You'd be a fool to toss something like this away when just the mere sight of it elicits wonder. I'd go into the other parts in detail, but I feel as if you aren't convinced enough by now, you should just get the standard if it's the game you're interested.

Great game with a nice special edition content when bought at MSRP of $90, just like I did, not from scalpers. Box came a little damaged on one side, but the inside items were completly sealed and in good condition. Art book quality and metal case are worth the extra $30, but not more.

I would give it 4.5 stars just because the box was damaged in a corner but other than that this is just pure perfection, I recommend this hugely, the artbook is amazing, the cards look cool, the steelbook gives you the feel Samus' visor glows, the general art of the box is amazing, pure art

Better than the reviews say, I’m a big believer in reading the reviews and got a feeling of dread (pun intended) saying about the delivery “damaged it”… I did have a mild heart attack when the game wasn’t inside the steal-book but it was inside the game case LOL… really happy with this purchase.. Thank you! 😜

La edición especial es muy bonita, tal cual y como se ve en el anuncio. El videojuego es muy bueno y divertido, valió la pena mi compra.

Its a great game for all nintendo users and fans. The package was a little damaged at the side but nothing of importance

O jogo dispensa comentários. É espetacular! e o vendedor embalou muito cuidadosamente.
