Yes, we're talking about Metroid: Other M again, the most controversial Metroid game that Metroid fans can't seem to be able to forgive or forget. But this week, Andy is arguing that the basic premise of the game ("Samus, emotionally reeling following the events of Zebes, answers a distress call on a mysterious GF ship where she meets her old commanding officer and learns of a sinister conspiracy involving GF-made biological weapons, all while dealing with a traitor amongst the ranks trying to keep

We've got a special treat for you this week as Andy's Virtual Theater (the podcast about video game movies and the stories that shape them) co-host Gooey Fame is joining the pod for a retrospective of not only one of the greatest sci-fi movies of all time, but the movie that heavily inspired the Metroid series: Ridley Scott's 1979 masterpiece Alien!

Omega Metroid Podcast ·

2022/05/03

Welcome to a new segment on the show we like to call Samus's Percentages! The premise is simple: we read a statement out loud and then assign a percentage on how true or likely we believe the statement to be. On today's debut episode, we have a whole bunch of doozeys, including: will Metroid Prime 4 sell over 10 million copies? Will Nintendo give the developing reigns of Metroid to another studio? Will Samus be a playable character in the next Mario Kart? Will Sylux survive the events of Metroid

2022/04/26

This week, we're answering YOUR fan questions in a "would you rather" format, and we have some absolute doozeys on hand! Would we rather every game play like Federation Force or have dialog like Other M? Would we rather a new Hunters style stand alone game or just have multiplayer included in Prime 4? Would we rather a remake of Metroid Fusion, Zero Mission, or Super? Would we rather Samus always adventure alone or introduce a new companion to the series? All this and so much more are on the table,

We’re back and talking all things Bosses in this special Boss Rush edition of the podcast. Dak and Doom talk about the new feature in Metroid Dread and if they enjoyed running through the gauntlet of bosses or not, and then discuss which bosses from previous Metroid games would have rounded up the Dread roster, including, of course, Ridley. That’s not all, as we’re taking fan questions at the end like which 3D boss would work well in a 2D setting and the sweet spot when it comes to amount of bosses

The whole crew are back together this week to talk about two of the things they love most - Metroid and Super Smash Bros.! We go around the table and definitively rank each Metroid-themed stage in Smash, discussing things like the differences between Planet Zebes and Brinstar, if you can have a great Smash match on Brinstar Depths, why Norfair was such an uninspired choice, how we only got one Metroid Prime stage, and if the Ridley boss experiment in Pyrosphere paid off or not. PLUS, we each pitch a

We break down our picks for the greatest themed areas and enemies in Metroid, which is tough because, while some are easy (I’m sure we all know what our pick for favorite Ice themed area is), others are way harder (so many good Fire themed areas to choose from!).

Ahead of a major OMEGA METROID DIRECT dropping on March 3rd, the boys are back together discussing two of their favorite things: Metroid and Smash Bros.! We sit down to discuss how the release of Metroid Dread could influence the next Smash Bros. game. We go over what Raven Beak could look like as a playable character, how the E.M.M.I. Zone could be the greatest Metroid stage yet, what kind of Assist Trophy the X parasite might be, if the quiet stillness of the E.M.M.I. Zone music would work, and so

This time, however, we're putting our critics hat on and discussing some of the things that, while they don't actively take away from the game by not being included, would have made Metroid Dread even more awesome! A Maridia theme remix in Burenia? A final EMMI boss fight in Hanubia? A better UI for menus? A better final Chozo Memory? Including our pals the Etecoons and Dachoras? English voice acting?
