Did You Know Gaming? Feature on Zebes Invasion Order

Know about Zebes Invasion Order but don’t want to play through the whole thing? DYKG? just released a big feature on the very obscure, Japanese-only, choose-your-own-adventure style game book. The team reached out to former staff member Devin (aka CapCom) who translated the whole thing and turned it into a playable game which we’ve had on our site since 2018.

 

Check it out below:

Twinetroid can be played here.

Also this “Sounds of Dread” one is pretty sweet, narrated by Adam.

Samus & Chill – Lo-Fi Metroid Remixes

Music multiplatform selector page

Great album for studying or relaxing. Chewie, the remixer, has done an excellent job translating these classic Metroid tracks into some very chill beats. Give it a listen if you’re into this kind of music.


Metroid Dread Report Vol. 9 is here

No spoilers here, just really basic stuff. Feels like this should have been Volume 1 and not 9.

 

Volume 9 may not be as exciting for some, as it focuses on how to perform all of Samus’s basic gameplay moves. It also talks about the Metroid staples such as using the map, how to deal with special blocks, opening doors, and interacting with terminals. Unlike Fusion, in Dread, Samus can also save at “Network Stations” where she interacts with Adam.

Volume 10 will likely release sometime next week and will probably be the last Dread Report. Honestly it’s been an incredible breath of fresh air to see Nintendo marketing this game so heavily. I’m super satisfied and glad they went all in this time around and tried to get new people and generations into the series. Speaking of which, if this is your first time here, WELCOME! We have plenty of content, so enjoy. We also have a Discord server where you can chat with other Metroid fans, old and new.

 

1 week left, folks. I know y’all are as hyped as I am.

Japanese Dread Commercials

Straight from the Metroid Dread Japanese website, NOJ has released three new Japanese commercials for Metroid Dread. Watch ’em below:


Two of them center around two young Japanese men reacting as they get stalked and killed by the EMMI:


The third one though, hoooo boy. Really awesome. Note: Some people think this 3rd one has “spoilers” in it, so don’t watch it if you’re attempting to avoid those things.


Lastly I’ll leave you with this, which is another trailer released a couple weeks ago. Watch at your own risk.


Stickers and decals

Today we have unveiled our new Prime-style “Beam Icon” vinyl decals on our store. Get ’em here.

 

We’ve also restocked our 10-piece sticker pack.

Both items can be purchased at a $5 discount for a limited time only. As always, TYSM for your incredible support of our site and what we do.


Metroid Dread Report Vol. 8 released

Nintendo’s marketing sure has kept us on our toes this time around. And it feels great. This new report details the areas and creatures/enemies which reside there.

From the report, there are at least six areas to be traversed on ZDR. They are:

  • Artaria (Rocky intro area)
  • Cataris (Power site, fueled by magma)
  • Dairon (Biological research site)
  • Burenia (Underwater research site)
  • Ghavoran (Underground forest)
  • Ferenia (Abandoned Chozo city!)

 

The report details what to expect from these harsh environments as well as the attacks of each of the creatures that reside there. Unless you want to find all of this out for yourself, head on over to the page.
