2023/11/29

Inspired By Metroid returns, this time, to a post apocalyptic world where humanity is no more and only robots remain! We're playing Haiku, The Robot, a Game-Boy-Color-influenced Metroidvania from developer Mister Morris games and giving our thoughts on the games world, story, boss fights, and so much more! Playing as the cute robot Haiku, you could be the answer to a mysterious virus that's plagued the planet for years. Does Haiku, The Robot rise above and carve out a place for itself among the best

Lore Archives is back! This week on the show, Dak & Doom dive into the bounty hunters of the Metroid universe. We talk about all the known bounty hunters in the games from Metroid Prime Hunters as well as Prime 3: Corruption. These characters are shrouded in mystery. What do we know about them? Who was behind the experiment that created Kanden at "A Sinister Laboratory?" What was Ghor like before the war? Are Noxus and Rundas related? We dive into each of these character's known backgrounds,

2023/11/15

In honor of Super Mario RPG coming out this week for the Nintendo Switch, we're reminiscing about our favorite Samus Aran cameos from over the years! From the most famous cameos, like the aforementioned Mario RPG bed spot to Samus rocking out with the cello, to some more obscure appearances, like the classic F1 Racing and Picross, to a whole schwack of crazy WarioWare guest spots, we go through them all to decide which one is the best! We also shout out some classic Metroid-in-general cameos like

2023/11/07

It's a new era for the Alien franchise, as the first entry in the series that helped shape Metroid without Sigorney Weaver enters full-on spinoff territory, colliding with the world of Predator to deliver the ultimate showdown in Alien vs. Predator! Andy and Gooey Fame are back to dish out their thoughts on the Paul W. S. Anderson directed film. While this film probably has the least in common with Metroid than almost any other entry in the series, we still analyze what makes a good spinoff film and

Episode 189 - What We DON’T Want In Metroid 6!

Omega Metroid Podcast ·

2023/10/31

Now that we've had a few years to chew on Metroid Dread, the gang gets together to discuss Metroid 6, and more specifically things we DON'T want to see Metroid 6 do. Topics on the talking block that we don't want Metroid 6 to do include: abandon the Metroid Suit and its abilities; bring back the Pulse Scan in its current version, particularly when it could be replaced by a new-and-improved X-Ray Scope; limit exploration and guide you too directly where to go; feature the Power Bomb as the final

2023/10/24

Everyone's favorite game-show Samus's Percentages returns this week! The premise is simple: we read a hypothetical statement and then assign it a percentage based on how likely to be true we think it's be! On the docket this week: will the next Mercury Steam game have a great soundtrack? How much would a Metroid movie make at the box office? Will Federation Force ever see a port? Will Samus show up in Mario Kart 9? Will Nintendo sell Metroid Prime 4 at a premium price? Could Retro Studios ever

Omega Metroid Podcast ·

2023/10/18

Definitive Ranking returns! This time around, we're analyzing what's often called the "weak link" of the Metroid Prime Trilogy, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. We spend a lot of time debunking that weak link theory, talking about Corruption's story as the best in the series, debate how Hypermode could have been better, complain about the lack of challenging expansions, gush about using Samus's Gunship, ask if Prime 3 has that one killer song, and so much more! As an added bonus, here are Doom's

Welcome to a brand new segment on the podcast that we’re calling Logbook Archives: the series with a focus on deep diving into the in-universe lore of the Metroid series! To kick things off, we look at the most feared faction in the galaxy: The Space Pirates! In this 2-hour+ epic, we detail their various movements and plots, covering things like what exactly are the Space Pirates? What is their hierarchy like? Is Ridley the leader of the group, an enforcer or something else? When would Samus have

Omega Metroid Podcast ·

2023/10/03

The gang are back once again to talk about Metroid Prime 4, but this time, to focus on what exactly the game needs in order to be a massive success. Obviously, things like good marketing and quality are a given, but what about beyond that? Does Metroid Prime 4 need to be a launch title for the Switch 2? Should it utilize the maximum power of the Switch 2, even if it means sacrificing a Switch port? Would calling it Prime 4 turn off players who haven't played the original Trilogy? Is a killer

We once again turned the keys to the show over to you, asking you to send us Metroid questions, and you did not disappoint! How would a "Metroid 99" battle royale game work? Would Metroid Prime Remastered have benefited from a traditional marketing build? What new abilities for Samus's Suit would we like to see in future games? Is "Phendrana Drifts" overrated? Is there any room for weapons like swords or maces in Metroid? Are we hoping for Metroid 6 next, or a remake instead? If Samus was to not be

Omega Metroid Podcast ·

2023/09/19

Our annual September Direct came and went, and while there was some quality stuff shown, it will likely be remembered as fairly underwhelming. The gang get together to discuss the not-unexpected-but-still-disappointing absence of Metroid Prime's Echoes and Corruption and what the calibre of games shown could mean for the Switch 2's reveal. We also get into the Direct itself and talk about the numerous Mario titles and why there are so many, the best way to make a new F-Zero game and what it should

Rumors have been flying around lately about the successor to the Nintendo Switch, with Nintendo apparently showing off the "Switch 2" at Gamescom this year, so this week, Andy and Doom break down the technical specs that the Switch 2 is rumored to have, spitball their theories on when Nintendo will reveal their console (spoiler: Andy thinks it's sooner than you think!), when Metroid Prime 4 will launch on the new system and whether we even get a Switch version still, if there's a chance Metroid

Omega Metroid Podcast ·

2023/09/05

We're back to finish off the journey we started last week with Volume 1 of the Metroid Manga! Volume 2 picks up right where the last one left off and makes some...interesting decisions. Hear our thoughts on things like Adam's characterization towards Samus, if that ending was enough to undo the whole story thus far, Samus suffering from PTSD (and how that same scene later resurfaced in Other M), the fights against Ridley and the rest of the Space Pirates, how much DNA funny business is too much, and

After a brief detour, it's finally time to rewrite the story of Metroid Dread! This week on the show, the OMP crew return to the drawing board for Metroid Dread and its story. While they are big fans of the game, Dak and Doom have had some opinions on how the game's story unfolds. So on this episode, they've both taken on the task of REWRITING the game's story! Dak and Doom will both go through their new Metroid Dread story pitches, presenting two wildly different ideas. How do they stack up to one

2023/08/15

After a long layover, Inspired By Metroid returns to examine the critically acclaimed Dead Cells, a game by Motion Twin. Dead Cells is a mashup, mixing classic Roguelike gameplay with Metroidvania exploration and platforming, so it feels familiar yet different! Joining Andy this week is Zach Guillot of the Collateral Gaming Video Game Podcast, as they discuss their thoughts on Roguelikes in general, what Metroid fans would like about this game, the different levels and areas, if the two genres of

We are back once again to thorough analyze a Metroid area in our ongoing Mapping Metroid series, and this week, we return to Metroid Dread to talk the fallen Chozo city of Ferenia! We talk about our favorite rooms in the area, what sets Ferenia apart from other Dread locales, if the story told in that cutscene was effective or a stinker, argue about the music found within, discuss Escue and the Core-X, and describe some of our favorite Shinespark puzzles found within! All this, PLUS we spend a bunch

Heeeee's baaaack! This week, Andy returns and joins the fellas as they embark on a marathon topic: picking a favorite song from each game in the Metroid series (plus AM2R and Smash Bros. for good measure!). We have a lot of fun discussing our favorite tracks, trying to describe why we like them, which soundtracks we think are the best and which ones leave something to be desired, and realizing that, of all games, Metroid Prime Federation Force has *by far* the biggest OST in the entire series!
