This week on the show, Dak and Doom hold down the fort while Andy is busy preparing for the Zelda Dungeon Marathon! Last week, we ran another Q&A episode, and we got a lot of questions from one of our community members and Omega Metroid team members, TheAccursedHunter aka Big Griff. We couldn't get to all of his questions last week, so this week we decided to not only get to those questions, but to have him on the show to join us for the discussion!

This week, we're putting YOU in charge of the show! We have a whole slew of fan questions to get to, including: is Samus *the* most prolific female gaming character of all time? How would the Metroid series look different is Samus had been kept a male as originally intended? What would we do to make a bad Metroid moment even worse? Does Other M truly deserve all of the hate that it gets? What would we do if we were in charge of Metroid Prime 4's marketing? And... what would the Grateful Dead sound

Strap in for a juicy episode! While there was no Metroid news shown at the recent Direct, a lot of stuff that could affect the future of Metroid on the Switch and beyond was announced! Does Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon being ported from 3DS set a precedent that Samus Returns could potentially follow? How about Pikmin 1 and 2 being released as digital games Could we see Metroid Prime Echoes and Corruption follow a similar path? More importantly, based on what we didn't see, does this put the final nail

Episode 167 - How Could An Open World Metroid Game Work?

Omega Metroid Podcast ·

2023/05/30

With Andy and Doom both hopelessly enamoured by The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, they guys take a break from exploring Hyrule to theorize how an open world Metroid game might work! Is the open world concept antithetical to a Metroidvania game? Could you have a Metroid-equivalent for Shrines? How would visors work in this environment? Is going 3D platformer the way to go versus first person? How could you keep the concept of locks and keys while pushing the idea that you can go anywhere

With the Super Mario Bros. Movie finally in theatres, we thought it would be a great time to revisit the idea of a Metroid movie! Rather than throw out specific ideas or casting choices (we did that already!), we talk a little more broadly, debating the advantages of live action versus animation and vice versa, what the right tone to strike for a Metroid movie would be, who are some directors that could really take it to the next level, if the story should be an adaptation of a single game or an
