Definitive Ranking returns! This time around, we're examining the single-player campaign of Metroid Prime Hunters. We cover the good, the bad, and the ugly, as we cover the cool character designs, awesome weapons, lacklustre boss battles, OST, and the make-or-break point of the game: those darn stylus controls!

Come play along, and as always, here’s the criteria for the Definitive Rankings:

Of course, all of these are subjective, and we’re putting our critics hats on, but we want to hear what you have to say on Bluesky!

There is absolutely no time to waste, as this week, we finish off the Samus & Joey saga after 18 months and say goodbye to these characters we've grown to (sometimes begrudgingly) love. We pick up where we left off last week, with Samus, Joey, and Diesel preparing for the final battle against Greed and his henchmen, Knight and Bishop. Returning characters, babyface turns, cathartic victories, and amazing action and art make the back half of Samus & Joey Ex the best run of chapters yet, so come listen as we break down the action and bid farewell to this beloved manga.

All of the Samus & Joey manga have been faithfully translated by our pals at Metroid Database, so make sure to check them and their manga section out so you can read for yourself!

Metroid Manga In Review is back as we prepare to finish off the Samus & Joey saga! This was a story so big and action packed, we had to split it into TWO PARTS, so we're ending things next week, but for this week, we follow our heroes as they attempt to re-acquire all of Samus's abilities that were stolen by new enemy, Greed! Samus, Joey, and Diesel face off against Greed's minions, the Deadly Six Stars in various adventures across the universe! We're giving our thoughts on each chapter and teeing things up for an epic conclusion next week!

All this, PLUS we go over the fan hysteria regarding Metroid Prime 4's lack of release date, and touch on X-Fusion, the first crossover ROM Hack in the series! Come hang out with us!

Get ready for a SOLO SPITERI show today as everyone else is away working or on vacation, but don't worry, we're still bringing the Metroid heat! On the docket today is going through and ranking every "Intro Boss" in the series. We're defining Intro Boss as the first boss you visit in the first area typically, or in the first hour or so in the game, and that will teach you important game mechanics. We're running through a 9-pack of intro bosses to see which one reigns supreme, and with no one to counter, Andy can make the list whatever he wants!

All this, PLUS Andy's thoughts on Donkey Kong Bananza, Great Metroid Area Ranking updates, and Zelda Dungeon Marathon talk. Come hang out!

It's been a devastating month for the games industry; Unprecedanted amounts of layoffs in such a short period of time, multiple anticipated titles cancelled and some of the most tone deaf consolations from various people in power have understandably left a lot of us feeling empty. But in spite of the bleakness surrounding the games industry, Metroid, a series that historically doesn't sell amazingly well is still getting releases (including a certain one later this year!). Today, Doominal Crossing is joined by special guest Joey Ferris as they discuss the recent Microsoft layoffs, the state of the games industry and why Metroid is able to stay relevant in a climate that should theoretically be hostile to it.

All this, PLUS Doom talks about Zelda Dungeon raising $12K for No Kid Hungry, his recent trip to the Nintendo San Francisco Store and the duo ponder what's happening with the next 3D Mario entry.

After almost a calendar year, Alien In Review is BACK! Andy Spiteri, Gooey Fame, and Ridley Scott, returning for the first time to the franchise he created over 30 years prior to this films release! We are reviewing the earliest chronological entry into the series, 2012's Prometheus! A ambitious, philosophical movie that asks big questions and has some of the most intense body horror moments in the franchise, the guys reflect on the direction and tone of the movie, discuss the black goo and how it shares similar traits to Phazon, talk about some of the fan criticisms, give their thoughts on the Engineers, compare and contrast Elizabeth Shaw to Ellen Ripley, and debate whether Michael Fassbender's David is one of the most interesting characters in the entire anthology!

All this, PLUS, our thoughts on the Microsoft layoffs. Alien In Review will return! In the meantime, if you like Andy and Goo talking movies, check out their other podcast Virtual Theater, a podcast about video game movies and the stories that shape them!

We are debuting a NEW SHOW SEGMENT this month called Arsenal Evolution, a show that takes both an in-game and real-world look at the evolution, history, and fanfare of different abilities and power-ups for Samus. We thought it was only appropriate to talk about an ability that has become synonymous with Samus herself, and has appeared in every Metroid game: the Morph Ball! We go game by game, looking at how it was utilized, the different power-ups and upgrades associated with it, the transition from 2D to 3D, and so much more!

This episode has it all, including a run in from the ice cream truck, so morph down and tell us what items you'd like to see on future Arsenal Evolution's!

One of the most intriguing Metroidvania’s in recent years has to be the announcement of Bandai Namco’s Shadow Labyrinth, not only because it looks cool, but because it’s a wildly different take on the standard Pac-Man genre. Yes, that Pac-Man, the one who eats pucks and runs away from ghosts! Reimagined as a gritty Metroidvania, this game sees you control an unnamed Swordsman, traversing a giant maze, and combining with Puck, a floating orb companion, to unleash powerful attacks!

We were excited about the game when it was announced, and our friends at Bandai Namco must have noticed, because they have supplied us with a demo copy of the game that we had Doominal take for a test drive! We're talking about his experiences with the demo, which you can watch in full here, and what worked and didn't!

We're also playing a fun game of Metroid A-Z, inspired by Nintendo's awful Nintendo Today app, so come hang out!

Mapping Metroid is back, and we're going somewhere we've never went before: The Bottle Ship! That's right, after years and years of this podcast, we're finally covering an area from Metroid: Other M, and we're starting off with the sprawling and creepy Sector 1 Biosphere! We cover all the grand rooms in the area, discuss some of the imposing creatures, go over the many boss fights and power-ups, talk about the reveal of the bioweapons conspiracy, lament over the prolonged third-person slow walk session, and of course, give our thoughts on Little Birdie and it's evolution!

All this, PLUS some Donkey Kong Bananza and Breath of the Wild Switch 2 notes! Come and hang out with us!

After a long and turbulent road to get here, Nintendo’s latest console is finally here! We talk about our first impressions for the Nintendo Switch 2, how picking it up went, our thoughts on the screen, how the Joy-Con 2’s feel, express disappointment in the eShop being a disaster still, what we think of Mario Kart World, and some of of the performance boosts from other games, and our thoughts on the next big game to come!

Come and hang out with us and let us know your thoughts for the Nintendo Switch successor so far! Don't forget - Middle-Earth: The Podcast, a new show featuring Andy, Al, and Corey as they talk about the books, movies, games, and everything in-between relating to J.R.R.
