If waiting four more days until October 8th is too much for you to handle, and you need your Metroid fix now, it might be of interest to know that Metroid Dread for Nintendo Switch has been dumped online. Both an XCI and NSP version of the game are floating about the internet, and it appears that Ryujinx Emulator can boot the game to some extent. According to the early leaked download, the game comes in at just a tick above 4GB. As always, it's important to remember that GBAtemp's ToS do NOT allow linking to warez or illegal content, so please be mindful!

Anyone having trouble installing the nsp? It just installs an unbootable blank icon on my homescreen.

EDIT: Same problem installing XCI

Doesn't matter, you're getting the game illegally

i mean, a majority aren't gonna bat an eye, because their buying it still, their not sharing the copy or cancelling the preorder. if you'd prefer they can keep the pirated version and not buy the game, since it makes no difference apparently

Pre-ordered it for myself and my buddy; got the leak to enjoy early, technically did not pirate. Fantastic game 11/10 would play again.

You haven't left much info, like:
- what you're using to install it
- the file size of the nsp.

To me it sounds like you have acquired a bad NSP
OR
You don't have enough space on your SD card

What i did was:
Compress the NSP using SAK
Place on the sd card
Install using DBI

Actually leaking it is a good strategy to boost sells (if the game is well done).

I have to say..
Nintendo's trailer made this game look like a rushed sequel to Samus returns on 3DS..
But now i know it's definitely worth the money.

NEED PRIME TRILOGY NOW

Will be completed within a few days then considering how small it is

Took me about 7 hours to beat, but it was really good!

One of the bosses got frozen in a constant state of attacking. Was pretty funny, but basically softlocked me until I died. I shouldn't constant this a bug, but, had extreme lag in several places. And other little annoying movement bugs which all stuff could easily be patched out.

since prime there has been prime 2 and fusion zero mission, they where also great.

Did you try the Samus Returns remake for 3DS? That felt a lot like Dread, it was really good... except they never explained the charge up dash ever so a lot of people got stuck at one point xD (I mean me, I got stuck because they never explained the charge dash D: )
