Omega Metroid Podcast ·

2020/07/28

Recently, our buds over at Shinesparkers wrote up an article detailing their plot concepts for what they wanted to see in Metroid 5, which got us thinking about our own story ideas we'd want to see in the long awaited sequel. Where is the setting? Does Samus start with full power ups? How does the corrupt Galactic Federation fit in? And is there any way to bring Ridley back that makes sense?

This week's episode is all about the clones and dark versions of Samus in the Metroid series!

We also read off YOUR answers from Twitter about the use of doppelgangers, and ask if we should see this continue in the series. This, PLUS we talk about the latest Retro Studios hires, a new
