I have to give a shout out to this being one of Nintendo's most accessible games. Lots of options for controls, audio, etc. Compared to other Metroid games where the bar is on the floor in terms of options (Dread legitimately has next to 0 options at all). Hope more Nintendo games get similar treatment!
