The Great Metroid Retrospective

Welcome back to The MinnMax Show! On this week's episode, Ben Hanson, Suriel Vazquez, Kyle Hilliard, and Jeff Marchiafava run down the full history of Metroid and share details from the series' origins and development. We talk about Metroid Dread on the Nintendo Switch and the MinnMax community ranks their favorite entries. We then share highlights from Nintendo's Indie World Showcase and Suriel Vazquez talks about playing Axiom Verge 2. Then Janet Garcia joins us to answer questions submitted on Patreon by the community and award the iam8bit question of the week!
