I thought this trailer was really great! Looking forward to the game, especially after how good Dread was.

Looks like the air dash can go in four directions now, not just horizontal? And I think I saw missiles that went up at an angle and dropped. Anyway, what I'm getting at is that I hope the game has more along that line, of new or significantly modified abilities.

Yeah, loved Dread, and this looks great. Can't wait to play it.

I still need to play Dread but glad one of my favorite series keeps getting the love it deserves.

I really appreciate that they are doing a Special Edition physical release for this. And the Chozo statue Amiibo looks cool as fuck.

Yeah, both amiibos look great. Not a big fan of the one in Special edition, but maybe watching a nice closeup will change my mind.

I haven't watched the presentation yet, but is the $120 special edition the only physical release the game will get?

This might be what finally convinces me to get a Switch 2. This actually looks really good, I'm curious what team is behind this.

Looks great! My one hope/ask is we get a little more openness and ability to explore compared to Dread, which felt somewhat on a rail at times. Otherwise I’m excited for this entry.

I guess this games makes it okay to openly talk about Dread's ending, huh? I was wondering where they were going to go with it, but all of this just feels to me like Samus is slowly turning into a villain. She's gonna need an exorcism or something!

I loved Dread, this looks great, and I'm mad about it. I don't wanna buy a Switch 2! šŸ˜
