2024/09/04

This week on the show, Dak and Doom pose a question - does Metroid need to be less like Metroid to succeed? Are the Metroidvania aspects of the series holding it back from growing as a franchise? Recently in our Discord server, one of our community members posted a video talking about this very topic, which we thought would make for a good discussion! Dak and Doom dive into this topic to give their takes. PLUS we answer a few more questions from our Q&A channel (also in our Discord server!)
