Nintendo has been made aware of an error “near the end” of Metroid Dread that forces the software and game to close.
It’s working on a fix to prevent this from happening, which will be available at some point later this month. So, what’s the problem? Apparently, if the player destroys a door while a map marker is displayed for that specific door on the map, an error message will appear and the software will shut down.
Here’s the full rundown, courtesy of Nintendo’s official support page:
