New details have been revealed about Metroid Dread over the past few months. Metroid Dread will release on October 8 this year exclusively for the Nintendo Switch, and the base version of the game will cost £49.99 (or USD $59.99). The Special Edition will cost £79.99 (or USD $89.99) and feature a steel game case, five art cards featuring key art for each 2D Metroid title and a 190-page art book with artwork from all five 2D Metroid games.
Metroid Dread will also come with its own Amiibos. The double pack contains both Samus and the E.M.M.I. for £25.99 (or USD $30). Scanning the Samus Amiibo will net the player a permanent health upgrade of 100, and once a day will give a little extra health back. The E.M.M.I. Amiibo gives Samus a Missile Plus tank, increasing her missile capacity permanently by 10. The E.M.M.I. can also be scanned once a day for a few extra missiles.
Nintendo of Europe has announced a delay for the Amiibo pack. The figure is coming roughly a month after the release of Metroid Dread.

“Unforeseen shipping delays” are to blame for the issues with getting the Amiibo out on sale sooner.
