Structured source record
01

Release context

The documented release is October 8, 2021 for Japan on Nintendo Switch. Date precision is preserved exactly: the archive does not invent a day when the source records only a month or year.

02

Regional differences

This record is scoped to Japan. The linked structured source does not document a separate regional title or package difference, so PLAYBACK does not infer one.

03

Physical packaging

The physical format is documented as Game Card. The current structured source does not enumerate every insert, manual, sleeve, or bonus item, so no unverified contents are claimed.

04

Editions and revisions

This package is recorded separately from the standard Metroid Dread release. The source does not provide a complete contents list.
