Another update planned for April:

One of my favorite parts ofCastlevaniagames is rushing down bosses, so I’ll definitely loop back around onMetroid Dread. I’m not in the mood to replay it all — the first playthrough was great, but that wasenough, and I’m honestly disappointed that’s how things shook out. That said, I pretty much adored the bosses. Especiallyhim.

If you’re curious to tryMetroid Dread,there is a demo, and in fact, Nintendo just updated it with the new Rookie Mode and the Corpius boss fight.

I wasn’t really expecting to hear anything new onMetroid Prime, so that’s fine. And when it comes to Nintendo’s track record with content updates for well-liked games with big audiences, well, your guess is as good as mine. This ended up being a pleasant surprise.
