I hope this sells good, not just because of the Balan bet, but it deserves it. I hate how this series just doesn't sell, and it's always been a great series.
Hope? This game is going to sell bonkers.
I won't doubt it will sell! I bought one lol haven't been buying many switch games lately
I’ll buy it next week. Looking forward to it. I can’t believe the original Metroid or Super Metroid didn’t sell like crazy.
Just for the fact that its on the switch it will.
@@WildDogGamerBoy Yep, good ol switch affect. Every Nintendo franchise released on the switch surpassed its predecessor, I see the same thing happening here with Metroid Dread.
Are you SHOCKED that I loved the game? You shouldn't be, freaking weirdos. lol. Enjoy the vid!
"REVEW"
No it Metroid lol...but you bout to play through Balan right lol you will like Balan if you 8 years old its made for the younger demographic but its not as bad as you think. But good luck lmao i played through just wicked easy and repetitive for kids
Only dummies thought you wouldn't like this game.
@@dr.wolfstar1765 LOL Thank you I fixed it!
The weirdo is the one that spelled Review wrong lol
Honestly I'm happy the genre is called metroidvania instead of castleeoids.
🏆🥇
Exactly
Castleeoids sounds like it needs an ointment

When you said this game is actually challenging and not a breeze like every other Nintendo game on Switch(except for maybe Donkey Kong), I got even more excited. Thank you!!!!
Ooh man I’m really feeling the hype. I wonder if this game will take my game of the year vote over monster hunter rise.
Agreed. The one typical downside of Nintendo games is that they tend to be too easy. Good to see Nintendo make something that is legit hard.
@@MaxVisser Like how people have forgotten Super Metroid? I finished Super in one night and I still consider it the best game ever.
If you want a challenging game, get the Ninja Gaiden Master Collection ;)
@@koohpa already got it. 👍
Rgt saying “one drawback can be the difficulty its not for casuals”. I’m like “YES!”
as a casual i will say that the only hard part about the game looks to be the EMMI sections the bosses don't look too challenging and even with the EMMI sections you have so many movement options now there are plenty of ways to get away.
@@pforgottonsoul Bosses are only hard if you are bad at learning the paterns, first time encountering them you will preti much geranteed die.
Now I know why they called this Metroid: DREAD. You can really feel the dread while you are chased by the EMMIs. I started to play it last night and this is an amazing game!
I still hear those noises 😟
Thumbs up if you came here from the video "So Nintendo Is Coming After Me...." and the video from ReviewTechUSA "Nintendo Is Going After RGT 85"
I came from RGT 85's latest video.
I'm downloading this in case of this being taken down by RGT 85 himself since he told he's thinking of deleting this or maybe by Nintendo themselves.
Man it's crazy. This guy gets all Nintendo 3rd party games even if the ports are average. Also he has talked and asked people to try Metroid in all of his videos and here we go Nintendo.
@@sans-ff9sn He's helping the game by promoting it.
Yet Nintendo is doing him dirty.
I'm also playing the game. The immediate thing you realize is that you're gonna die A LOT. I'm 4 hours into the game and still can't counterattack the EMMI's perfectly. As far as the difficulty, it's not Cuphead or even Ori's level of difficulty, but the game is definitely challenging.
How do you have the game?
@@Stratilex hacked switch + piracy
@@Stratilex piracy and a switch emulator because somehow a full rom of the game is now out there on the internet for all to download
@@ultimate9057 I doubt it is already running exceptionally well on emulators. It usually take a while. Plus the game has shipped long ago to the shops and so on.
@@bern9642 Can confirm that on ryujinx switch emulator the game runs perfectly and looks amazing in 1440p.
The only issue is the initial main menu, apart from that everything runs at a perfect 60 with no visual issues and im about 3hrs in so far
I'm so hyped for this. Finally a Metroidvania game that's actually a Metroid game. I don't know how or why Metroid became one of Nintendo's smaller backseat series, especially after their Prime games, but it feels wrong to have such a huge lack of Metroid for all of these years. Definitely one of their best game franchises. This is a day one buy for me.
Because metroid sells badly. Same with f-zero. Nintendo only cares for the money
Female content creators who are serious about gaming should have been all over the Metroid series a looooonnngg time ago - - - especially considering the love Nintendo through their way with The Other M gem.
@@thefitgurutv I actually thought Other M was alright.
Try being an f-zero fan
Shawn telling casuals it is too hard so he doesn’t have to play Balan. Well played sir
Metroid games are hard though.
Hard to care maybe
@Zachary Erickson not really, maybe if you've never touched an FPS before it never seemed particularly hard to me.
@Zachary Erickson prime was easy and cheesey not a real Metroid. This game is going to be great and the casual players from the crappy gen z need to let it step on their necks and spit in their faces and get good like we had to back in the nes/ sms and SNES/Genesis days keep playing learn to get better and quit complaining like babies
@@historyofvideogamesandmyop2913 damn dude who hurt you? It’s literally just a video game. Why are you so pressed about it….sad really
I never understood the concept of “if its a challenging game ‘casuals’ won’t like it.” As a kid I never once thought to myself “how hard is it? Because I don’t want to play it if it’s hard.” I just picked up a game because it looked cool. And this looks cool.
Well it boils down to a game that is hard and has multiple barriers likely won't be seen through to the end for those players. Most casuals don't spend a lot of time on video games and if it is a game that requires a significant investment, it can turn them off.. Curious casuals may account for some sales but they'll learn their lesson and avoid future installments. Unless of course it turns out they do totally dig it and just never played that type of game before.
You're cool.
Back in the day videogames were more of a niche thing, so to speak, and now companies try to reach broader audiences. But, yeah, I agree with you. Dread might be challenging at times but Samus controls like a charm. Plus, the game leads you towards the intended path using several methods, so it's not like average players will find themselves lost all the time. Compare this to the original Metroid experience in NES, lol. You were hard-pressed to find your way in that game without using a guide or drawing a map
when you'll be more than 35 and have a job that takes 8 to 9 hours per day, plus an house and a family to mantain, you'll have a couple hours at best for playing per day, and you'll want them to be just fun and not like a second job.
Running this back in case something happens. Fire review, RGT. 🤘
Yep Preservation is always important.
I don’t think Shawn feels the game CAN’T sell 3 million, I think he thinks the fans (rather the people who scream it’s dope but won’t buy) won’t based on past Metroid releases.
I think it's more that there aren't enough die-hard Metroid fans, and it's a challenging game for casual players, so once we all get our copies it won't continue to sell after the first few months like Mario Kart or Zelda games do.
The boss fights makes you hold your breath without knowing. The exhale after you beat them is amazing!
Thanks for this review - talking about how challenging it is and how easy it is to get lost in where you're trying to go makes me realize it isn't for me. I'm a casual gamer and too much of a challenge frustrates me, I don't have the patience for it. Might borrow someone else's though.
I’ve been watching your whole Metroid dread thang from day one. I don’t comment on youtube very often. But I want to thank you for this video as I can see your objective ness shine. I think you will get this feeling from many of your viewers . Thanks my dude! I can’t wait to get this Metroid game in hand 2 days from now. Keep doin you!
Aren't the 3 million pre orders for this game already?
The moment you said that this game is so difficult, oh god I can't WAIT for this! I'm going to absolutely LOVE this game. I've taken a week off this month JUST for this game!
Lmaaaooo
@@lionintu fr wth took a week off for a Game? Jesus , some people are this dedicated to rated e games ? Aight then
@@kalin1786 LMFAO
@@kalin1786 let people enjoy stuff you clown 🤡
@@kalin1786 Metroid Dread is rated T
For those who don't know, The Acacia Strain is a metal band.
So your one negative is the best thing about the game. I’m sold. Love high difficulty games. Especially difficult metroidvanias
So excited for this. Wasn’t the biggest Fusion fan but Super and Zero Mission are some of my favorites of all time. Hope it lives up to the hype
Is this the video that received a copyright infringement?
Great review RGT. I’m looking forward to playing this weekend!
I've been watching for a while without subscribing. But you quoting skynet by the acacia strain (and also making many wrestling references)won my heart. Take this sub my guy.
Looks like the time has almost come, can’t wait to play this and watch Shaun play Balan WonderWorld, wonder which version he’ll be playing, hopefully the Nintendo Switch version; also known as the “best” one.
This game is awesome so far, I got it early thanks to Amazon. Loving how cryptic and challenging it can be. I wander for a half hour sometimes before finding what to do, and when I do it's very satisfying
I love all the callbacks to Metroid Fusion in the game’s intro. Having a blast with this game and I really hope Nintendo sees success with it so that we can get more of this series without having to wait another 20yrs.
Love the Acacia Strain quote, looking forward to when this gets dropped off on Friday. I’ve had my pre order in for awhile.
Totally unrelated, but I really appreciate how toned-down your voice is in your more recent videos. I think the yelling-adjacent stuff was a bit much and made your videos hard to binge. But your cadence is much more laidback and controlled in recent ones, so I appreciate it. It's more welcoming. :)
It's also because he's reading an essay he wrote. That's how his reviews are. Well written and spoken well vs some reviewers just going ham on their review.
This is the best review I've seen so far with Metroid Dread. Also, I NEEEEED IT! (Spongebob voice when he was dying from thirst). 😅😅😅
“Let em spit in your face, let em step on your neck.” Lmao. You’re totally right though, good Metroidvanias make you better at gaming as a whole if you take the time to learn them.
Day 1 pickup for me, in fact I will always break my no-preorder rule for Metroid. Gonna try and get a Special Edition if possible too. I think all of us (including you!) want you to play Balan Wonderworld.
As soon as you quoted the acia strain it brought a smile to my face 🤟 make a video of you playing your guitar 🎸 !!!!!!!
This is one of the best games I've ever played in my life the visuals are insane
After I beat the game I felt sad because it was over, such a well crafted experience and yet another banger of a Metroid game. 👍🏿👍🏿
I've always been a pretty big Metroid fan even though I've never been good enough to complete any of them I just can't wait for this one to come out because it looks so amazing
SAME.
Same haha except the first Prime game. That is just the right amount of difficulty for me.
Same just with the legend of Zelda games
Good to hear, Amazon shipped my copy only a few hours ago, looking forward to it.
Can you do your Stevie Richard's intro.. One... More... Time.
I vote for this
I hate that intro so much.
Greatest intro ever! Lol
No please
@@thesmoky1 yes me too! Cheesy
AWESOME REVIEW thank you RGT85 😃
Yoooo acacia strain reference? Way to work your way to my favorite UA-cam guy
Man Knowing that youre a the acacia strain fan is awesome🤘🏿
I'm glad you mentioned the difficulty element of it.
I'm a busy dad to twin toddlers and really don't have the time to dedicate to becoming good, or the mental capacity for additional stress in my life 😅 On top of that, I've never played a Metroid game before, so I'm not invested.
Happy for those that are excited for the game though :)
3 words... Play Metroid Prime.
Three words. Play… while… pooping…
@@meinauto9048 Those are the three words that sold me on the switch in the first place 😅
I’m a dad to 2 kids. But I can’t imagine how hard twins must be. Do you have any other hobbies? Maybe you can play here and there like I do. Plus I can’t wait to take my 4 year old to get this game at the store!
get the game!!!
Already pre-ordered and paid in full, can’t wait to experience this game….get ready RGT…Balan time!!! Hopefully….Metroid sells its share for praise.
Thank you, definitely a solid review. Been waiting for this one since 87.
This has become a day one purchase for me! I like 2-D Metroid but was hoping for the “Metroid Prime” collection to come out on Switch. But then I started to look into the game more because of RGT85’s videos and have become pretty excited for the game.
*3 Million Baby!!!*
First exclusive game I’ve had my eye on since way back when Odyssey came out. Might pick up a new switch just for this game.
respect for vitamin c profile picture. metroid, smash, and odyssey are the reasons i bought my switch
would hope people have the wherewithal to just look up where to go and let the people who want a challenge find it for themselves. Thanks for the review! I didn't watch any footage but the review audio was just fine^^
That Acacia Strain shout-out though! Loving it so far
I’m here because Dreamcast Guy
I’m downloading this video in case it gets taken down.
Yeah me too.
Having this on in the background and hearing RGT voice saying, "spit on you and take it." Woof. haha.
That acacia strain reference was out of left field for you. Respect.
Yo..been waiting for this!
Damn Nintendo. This review rocks and is legal. Lol
Great review friend. Excited to get this eventually
I'm really happy that this game fixed nearly all my problem with Samus Returns. It didn't fix the wall jump, but I like it better in Dread just because you can use it to preserve your Speed Booster, and that made for some really fun puzzles. This game is outstanding, and I'm so glad I didn't wait for my physical copy to arrive in a few days.
I have to say, this is the first Metroid game I’ve played since super Metroid and i was too young and really sucked at it. I decided to give Metroid dread a try since the visuals in the marketing looked pretty good. And let me tell you I’m glad I did. I love the game and makes me want to go back and play the other Metroid games. 10/10 for me.
I’ll be getting this on Friday for sure, you gonna play Balan, mark my words! 😊 I’m so excited for this 😊
I be pick metroid dread this Friday too and i see him play balan wonderland 😏 best game
@@stevenbowen9216 haha yeah he’s going to play it
@@James-gj8rn 😏 i looking forward to it
@@stevenbowen9216 me too 😊
@@James-gj8rn you and me too
I'm glad you made this early review. While watching this review I just got confirmation from Best Buy that my pre-ordered copy was delivered. 🙌🏾
Dude you just quoted the acacia strain?!?!?! 🤘🤯🤘
Lol, my man sounding like my 6 year old trying to read and talk at the same time.
I kid, I kid. I can't wait to play this. I really loved Samus returns on 3ds.
Just beat it tonight. It was very challenging. I loved every minute of it
How do you jump and grab onto a ledge? I’m
Having a hard time.
The acacia strain line took me by surprise lol
Can’t wait to play this game. Thanks for the review. Would love to see more type of these games on the switch (one of my favorite was on 360 shadow complex!!)
Aye loved the Acacia Strain shoutout lol had to double take when I heard that
I've heard it was the hardest in the series so I'm ready. I've completed all Metroid games and I've never considered any of them easy.
It's not hard. I'm a light fan who's played Prime 1 and other M.
Dropping those acacia strain lyrics ensured I’d follow your channel forever.
Going to a retro game store tonight at 9pm to get the physical copy of the special edition, well hoping to get one !
Why did it take me this long to realize that Samus and megaman are basically the same character LOL?
It's probably the ground slide that gave it away LOL
Glad you liked the game. I thought it looked great since i first saw it a few months ago. Switch is the ultimate modern arcade no doubt.
Stemage in the background I see you RGT
Solid review man! Can't wait to pick this up.
I've never played a metroid game but I'm gonna buy this just to help it get to 3 million.
I disagree about “never feeling overpowered”. The screw attack ability one shots almost every normal enemy.. and all you have to do is run into them
Me:**Metroid 1 flashbacks**
I have this game pre-ordered on my switch can’t wait to play it on Friday
Nice review. I’ve never played any of the Metroid games and I’m very intrigued by it. I do enjoy a bit of a challenge so I think I’ll pick this game up!
Fight the power.
Liked the review but scripting is not you RGT!!! Need those free rift reviews, there's more passion and heart in them
I just told my wife, this dude needs to go without a script. Reading his words does him no favor
It wasn't that bad. I've heard worst this was average. Give him a few more tries to flesh it out
Big Metroidvania fan after playing Hollow Knight a couple of years ago. Ended up picking up 2 copies of the game, a standard and a special edition. This will be my first Metroid game that I will play in its entirety. Very excited.
Picking up this weekend asap
Wow. A scripted review?! A true sign that Shawn really likes the game. Can't wait to play this.
Only RGT could mispronounce Mercury 2:51
"Mitroid." "Crasual." Is RGT having a stroke realizing he has to play Balan?
@@tomsimmons7673 LMAOOO
Got it pre-ordered, and all loaded up ready to go for when they launch it tonight!
Watching this then going back to my homework so I can play this game this weekend. This is my first Metroid!!
Yes, the game is very difficult at times. And man the EMMI can really be stressful. But it's good stress. Been loving my time with it so far.
The E.M.M.I is so awesome because of how stressful it is. and I Love it!
Skyward Sword HD or Metroid Dread? I'll be honest I'm playing Skyward on my Switch Lite and am loving it.
@Michael B: Metroid all the way home slice.
Why not both?
I’m definitely picking this up tomorrow after work. The only bad thing is I didn’t know Metroid Dread came out with a Special Edition one until it was too late 😭
Thanks RGT. I’ll buy this tomorrow. Love Metroid since the nes. Never completed any but enjoy them a great deal.
Is it called metroidvania if it's a metroid game?
Yeah
No
Ori and Metroid are currently the gold standard for AAA metroidvanias.
Umm No. Metroid is nothing compared to the best castlevania games or Hollow knight. There are better metroidvanias than the ones you named.
Hollowknight
@@Symphony85p even if Hollow Knight was a AAA game, I refuse to argue about something that entirely subjective. And while 2D Castlevania is amazing, it’s been 13 years since the last one. I have no problems debating, but your premise is so awful that I just can’t.
@@mikeuk666 Team Cherry isn’t a AAA studio, therefore Hollow Knight, while amazing, isn’t a AAA game.
@@golions13579 No! a perfect answer to your awful comment. Dont blame me.
Fr caught me super off guard with the acacia strain quote. I had to rewind to make sure I heard that right lol
Got mine on pre order, cant wait4 this....
"I got a review copy because i don't mind spending your money on the metroid franchise and my review is done" that sentence doesn't even make sense
RGT says, "It's a banger!!" Day 1 pickup for me. Maybe I'll be the 3-millionth purchase.
An Acacia Strain reference. Nice lol
I’m new to metroid, but watching your reviews makes me want to try it, sounds like I’ll be playing it for a long time trying to get to the end lol 😂
This is my second 2D Metroid game, and I freaking LOVE it. I was up until 4 AM just looking for missile tanks, lol. It's so fun to move through.
I'm a fan of Metroidvanias, and I think that this one might be my favorite one yet.
The game is so good that he forgot to spell “review” correctly.
Everyone turns into spelling bee teacher on social media How much does it pay ?
@Zachary Erickson think it was missing the i.
@@PatsMac_10 Jesus calm down, it was supposed to be a joke.
@Zachary Erickson in the original title, it was revew. I found it funny for no apparent reason.
RGT85 how did you like them knicks preseason form? 👀 kemba and fournier way better upgrade from bullock and elfrid P.
I was screaming in hype. lol
Glad to hear the game has some challenge to it. Going to pick it up tomorrow hopefully. I didn’t preorder, so we will see how that goes. 🤞🏼
