#Metroid Celebrates 35th Anniversary as New Dread Teaser Debuts

“#Metroid Celebrates 35th Anniversary as New Dread Teaser Debuts”

The first Metroid game debuted on Nintendo’s Famicom Disk System in Japan back on August 6, 1986, followed by a release on NES in the west in 1987. Now that the series is officially celebrating its 35th anniversary, Nintendo came through with a new teaser for the latest game in the series, Metroid Dread, as well a decidedly low-key means of marking the anniversary occasion.

Imagine if your parents celebrated your 35th birthday with three tweets.

Fun fact: the game’s title comes from a combination of the words ‘metro’ and ‘android’.https://t.co/hpC2UcsiqG
