What you could get instead of Dread for the price?

You could get Ni No Kuni and have money left.

I just started ni no kuni yesterday and in my opinion its a better game than metroid, better story, better voice acting, better writing, full 3d worlds, its a much longer game, more than double the length, better music and so on.

You could also get instead Skyward sword which I find also better than metroid but I'd stick to ni no kuni if you don't have it yet.

I feel like I live in bizarro world or something when I see so many people put stock into the story of Metroid games.  Where is this coming from?  They're isolationist games more than anything focusing on the environments, atmosphere, action, platforming, puzzles and at best lore in Metroid Prime's case.
