August 05 Episode 331 – Honoring 40 Years of Metroid
We've been honoring loads of anniversaries this year at Omega Metroid, but today we're celebrating the big one! Metroid was released on the Famicom Disk System on August 6th, 1986, making tomorrow the 40th anniversary of both the seminal title and the series as a whole. Today, Andy and Doom reminice about the legacy, longevity, and influence of the Metroid series while pontificating how such a niche series remains active decades later. The duo also focuses in on the original Metroid title to give the game its flowers and how it changed the face of gaming as we know it.
All this plus some talk about Spider-Man: Brand New Day, The Odyssey, and a quick roundup of the successful 2026 Zelda Dungeon Marathon!

July 29 Episode 330 – Definitively Ranking Every Boss in AM2R
The AM2R celebration continues for one final week, this time with a bit of a role reversal! Doom takes the command chair as the host, while Andy calls in from Chicago on break from the Zelda Dungeon Marathon. This week, the duo is diving back into AM2R one more time to definitively rank every boss in the game. This exceptionally strong collection of fights is ranked in order from the Ancient Guardian at the very beginning of the game, all the way to the Queen Metroid at the finale. Joining the episode is several cameo appearances from various Zelda Dungeon runners, including our very own Gooey Fame from the hit Patreon series, Gooey Plays Metroid!
Tune in to the 2026 Zelda Dungeon Marathon going through Saturday and help the crew raise money for the Greater Chicago Food Depository!

The gang are back and kicking off a summer of important anniversaries!

Andy and Doom share their experiences playing it for the first time, what makes this game so special, the unbelievable level of quality this remake achieves, meeting and discussing AM2R with Milton, and why a project like this could probably never happen again!

Everything is discussed from the unusual nature of the information, the credibility, what kind of game it could be and when we could see it officially revealed.

Doominal Crossing is back this week for another solo show, this time revisiting a topic from one of the earliest episodes of the podcast: Definitively Ranking Every Power Suit! The initial episode premiered well before Doom joined the podcast, making this the first time he gets a say on the matter. What's more, is since the episode dropped, we've had two additional Metroid titles with new suits that need to be ranked! Join Doom on this journey spanning from NEStroid all the way to Metroid Prime 4: Beyond as every single one of Samus Aran's Power Suits gets ranked from best to worst (and yes, there WILL be spicy takes). Check out the tier list Doom used and show us your own Power Suit rankings at our various social media channels!
Plus, Doominal Crossing geeks out over some new audio software he's using.

June 17 Episode 324 – The Worst Metroid Songs from Each Game
Doominal Crossing is hosting this week while Andy takes some time off. However, he's not alone! Joining the episode today for his third podcast appearance is special guest, Joey Ferris! Joey for the uninitated is a huge Metroid fan who currently makes content for Commonwealth Realm over on YouTube. On today's episode, the duo go through every Metroid game (and we mean ALL of them) to select their personal pick for the worst song from each title. Some games are certainly easier to pick from than others, so join us today as we struggle to pick the worst song from our favorite soundtracks and spill some spicy tea on our least favorites. This show also serves as a sequel to Episode 176, where we talked about our FAVORITE songs from each game. Be sure to check that one out too for the full experience!
All of this, plus we talk about the New York Knicks' historical championship win and Microsoft continuing to step on rakes!
