Metroid is so influential to video games that to call it revolutionary would be selling it short.

Metroid being the Grandmother of the Metroidvania subgenre is a huge talking point of this episode but we didn't forget to talk about this title that started it all. Join us for a fairly reverent episode of The Super Smash Cast!
