Metroid Dread‘s amiibo double pack will grant the player a permanent health boost along with a missile capacity upgrade.
The $30 2-pack amiibo, which includes both Samus and the E.M.M.I, will provide players with an extra energy tank, which increases their maximum health by 100, a one-time-only upgrade.
However, players will be able to tap the Samus amiibo once a day to top up their health in-game, while the E.M.M.I amiibo will give Samus a Missile Plus tank, increasing her missile capacity to 10 and is also a one-time upgrade.

During the showcase, Nintendo confirmed that they were still hard at work on Metroid Prime 4, which was announced back in 2017 but gave no further details.
Metroid Dread will also have a Special Edition, which includes a steelbook version of the game, art cards, and an artbook. Again, the Special Edition has yet to go live in the UK but sold out in minutes in the US.
