Nintendo has confirmed that Metroid Dread's amiibo double pack is being delayed in Europe. Initially planned to launch alongside Dread on October 8th, that's now been held back due to issues at retail.
As a result, this double pack featuring Samus and an E.M.M.I. - which provides a permanent upgrade to Samus' health and missile capacity - will instead launch on November 5th. Releasing a statement to social media, Nintendo apologised for this, citing "unforeseen shipping delays".
