Series 4 Episode 1

#061

A team of passionate and experienced Metroid aficionados have been assembled to discuss and debate the correct ranking of all the 2D (and 2D-ish) games in the series! If you disagree with the final ranking, bear in mind that nobody got their way. That's just how the math shook out.

Stay for the after show where the most dedicated debaters rank the Prime series as well.

Also, no one gives one sh*t about Federation Force, so don't expect anything on that.

No one is going to read this far, and there's no way of telling from this mp3 file, but when it came to mixing, (with love) I put that very last audio sample on Colby's track.
