Metroid Dreads Amiibos Might Be GameBreaking

After 19 years, fans will soon be able to play a new 2D Metroid game when Metroid Dread releases on October 8th, 2021. Metroid Dread seems to have the unique gameplay of the originals while adapting to modern-day gaming with enhanced graphics and new gameplay mechanics. Like other Nintendo franchises, though, Metroid Dread is more than just the game. There’s a slew of additional products coming out alongside Dread, ranging from pre-order bonuses to collectibles.

Among those collectibles are Nintendo’s signature amiibo, with two new figures dropping at launch for $29.99. These Amiibo feature Samus Aran in her new armor, alongside E.M.M.I, one of her latest enemies. These amiibo are more than just nice to look at — they can also be a game-changer while playing Metroid Dread, to the point where they may eschew some of Metroid’s traditional explore and survive gameplay.

The first time players use the amiibo, each one offers up bonuses. Samus’ will give the player an extra energy tank, adding another 99 points of health for a significant health boost. The E.M.M.I. will provide players an additional Missile+ tank, increasing the Missile count by 10. After that, players can refill a portion of their health and missiles once per day by tapping the amiibo to their Joycon.

Amiibos can be controversial when they lock features behind purchasable figures, but the Samus Aran and E.M.M.I. amiibo may offset the balance of Metroid Dread’s gameplay altogether. By increasing Samus’ capacity for energy and missiles, players can potentially become more powerful than the game originally intended and make the game much easier to play for people who own the corresponding amiibo. The energy boost can help Samus face some of her toughest foes or keep her from being overrun by enemies. Extra missiles will aid Samus in defeating enemies and allow her to destroy obstacles in her path and unlock new areas to explore. Metroid Dread isn’t the first game amiibo is used in to aid players in-game — The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword’s Zelda and Loftwing amiibo helped Link on his quest in ways that were not possible in the original game.

Luckily (or unfortunately, depending on your perspective), the abilities of the amiibo are limited to once per day, which prevents Samus from becoming an invincible juggernaut and keeps the dread in Metroid Dread very much alive. Players can’t know for sure the full impact this will have on gameplay until the game launches on October 8, but having the option to give our favorite bounty hunter additional support on her latest mission is a boon not to take lightly.
