Nintendo's upcoming Metroid Dread will be accompanied by a pair of amiibo figurines you can buy in a pack for $30 (here in the UK, retailers are yet to set a price).
Now, we know what these figurines will do when you first scan them into the game.
The pack's Samus amiibo will add an extra energy tank to your health, increasing its overall capacity by 100 HP. These permanent power-ups are often hard to find in Metroid games, but you'll get one easily here.
