Omega Metroid Podcast

Mapping Metroid is back for another kick at the can, and this time we're going where we've never gone before: Metroid: Samus Returns! We're examining the fan favorite Area 7, aka the Chozo Laboratory, and breaking it down in great detail! We touch on the size of the area and its lack of items or boss fights, break down the three different Omega Metroid fights and what makes them so incredible, discuss the lore of this area as the birthplace of the Metroid species, analyze some of the crazy Spiderspark puzzles, gush about the amazing piece of music that helps this area stick out, and offer our opinions on the areas of Samus Returns as a whole and how the whole is greater than the sum of the parts!

All this, PLUS some quick hits at the beginning, Game Awards talk, and so much more! Come hang out with us!

Inspired By Metroid returns, this time, to a post apocalyptic world where humanity is no more and only robots remain! We're playing Haiku, The Robot, a Game-Boy-Color-influenced Metroidvania from developer Mister Morris games and giving our thoughts on the games world, story, boss fights, and so much more! Playing as the cute robot Haiku, you could be the answer to a mysterious virus that's plagued the planet for years. Does Haiku, The Robot rise above and carve out a place for itself among the best Metroidvania's available on the Switch, or does the games virus prove to be its undoing? Come hang out with us to find out!

All this, PLUS some Twilight talk and getting ready for next week's Mapping Metroid when we finally journey to Samus Returns' SR388!

PLEASE NOTE - We had an audio snafu in this episode with Andy's mic settings, so unfortunately his voice sounds a bit robotic (fitting!), so our sincerest apologies for this! The issue has been fixed, so if you can put up it for this week, we'd really appreciate it!

Lore Archives is back! This week on the show, Dak & Doom dive into the bounty hunters of the Metroid universe. We talk about all the known bounty hunters in the games from Metroid Prime Hunters as well as Prime 3: Corruption. These characters are shrouded in mystery. What do we know about them? Who was behind the experiment that created Kanden at "A Sinister Laboratory?" What was Ghor like before the war? Are Noxus and Rundas related? We dive into each of these character's known backgrounds, their involvement in their games, and what the future (or the past) might hold for them!

PLUS, we talk about this year's Game of the Year nominees for The Game Awards, and how Dak is already listening to Christmas music in November. All this and more on this week's episode of the show! Join us!

In honor of Super Mario RPG coming out this week for the Nintendo Switch, we're reminiscing about our favorite Samus Aran cameos from over the years! From the most famous cameos, like the aforementioned Mario RPG bed spot to Samus rocking out with the cello, to some more obscure appearances, like the classic F1 Racing and Picross, to a whole schwack of crazy WarioWare guest spots, we go through them all to decide which one is the best! We also shout out some classic Metroid-in-general cameos like the Rocket League Gunship skin to appearances that never happened, like Fortnite in this action-packed episode!

We're also giving our thought and reactions on the recently announced Zelda movie and what it could mean for a live-action Metroid movie going forward, PLUS touching on some cool titles shown in todays Indie Direct! Come hang out with us!

It's a new era for the Alien franchise, as the first entry in the series that helped shape Metroid without Sigorney Weaver enters full-on spinoff territory, colliding with the world of Predator to deliver the ultimate showdown in Alien vs. Predator! Andy and Gooey Fame are back to dish out their thoughts on the Paul W. S. Anderson directed film. While this film probably has the least in common with Metroid than almost any other entry in the series, we still analyze what makes a good spinoff film and game, while drawing some slight parallels to Metroid Prime Hunters. We're also talking about our thoughts on the Predator franchise, the coolest kills in the movie, the crazy lore and story of the movie, how Weyland Yutani isn't actually mega evil in AVP, the state of both the Alien and the Predator franchises heading into this crossover, how the movie not having one main character to rally around makes it tough, and so much more! All this, plus some quick thoughts on the upcoming Alien Romulus!

Alien In Review will return, but 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!

Now that we've had a few years to chew on Metroid Dread, the gang gets together to discuss Metroid 6, and more specifically things we DON'T want to see Metroid 6 do. Topics on the talking block that we don't want Metroid 6 to do include: abandon the Metroid Suit and its abilities; bring back the Pulse Scan in its current version, particularly when it could be replaced by a new-and-improved X-Ray Scope; limit exploration and guide you too directly where to go; feature the Power Bomb as the final powerup acquired; have lore information, like that found in the Dread Reports, not be available in the game again; and so much more!

All this, PLUS some quick NFL and NHL chat and some Halloween plan discussions! Come hang with us as we look forward to what's next!

Everyone's favorite game-show Samus's Percentages returns this week! The premise is simple: we read a hypothetical statement and then assign it a percentage based on how likely to be true we think it's be! On the docket this week: will the next Mercury Steam game have a great soundtrack? How much would a Metroid movie make at the box office? Will Federation Force ever see a port? Will Samus show up in Mario Kart 9? Will Nintendo sell Metroid Prime 4 at a premium price? Could Retro Studios ever revive Raven Blade? Are we seeing another Metroid spinoff game in the next five years?

These topics and so much more are covered, PLUS we give some early impressions on Super Mario Wonder and discuss the games we've been playing this year!

Definitive Ranking returns! This time around, we're analyzing what's often called the "weak link" of the Metroid Prime Trilogy, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. We spend a lot of time debunking that weak link theory, talking about Corruption's story as the best in the series, debate how Hypermode could have been better, complain about the lack of challenging expansions, gush about using Samus's Gunship, ask if Prime 3 has that one killer song, and so much more! As an added bonus, here are Doom's notes!

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

• World / Atmosphere (the vibe, the setting, the mood)

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 Twitter!

Welcome to a brand new segment on the podcast that we’re calling Logbook Archives: the series with a focus on deep diving into the in-universe lore of the Metroid series! To kick things off, we look at the most feared faction in the galaxy: The Space Pirates! In this 2-hour+ epic, we detail their various movements and plots, covering things like what exactly are the Space Pirates? What is their hierarchy like? Is Ridley the leader of the group, an enforcer or something else? When would Samus have confronted Weavil before? How many different factions of Pirates are there? Are they truly defeated… or just biding their time?

All this and so much more, PLUS some reflection on Metroid Dread’s two year anniversary and Canadian vs. American thanksgiving! Come learn with us!

The gang are back once again to talk about Metroid Prime 4, but this time, to focus on what exactly the game needs in order to be a massive success. Obviously, things like good marketing and quality are a given, but what about beyond that? Does Metroid Prime 4 need to be a launch title for the Switch 2? Should it utilize the maximum power of the Switch 2, even if it means sacrificing a Switch port? Would calling it Prime 4 turn off players who haven't played the original Trilogy? Is a killer soundtrack an absolute requirement? What does 4 need to do to break free and evolve from previous Metroid Prime titles?

All of this discussed and so much more, plus some Sea of Stars talk, Wiimote stories, and a pumpkin spice latte update. Don't miss out!
