Omega Metroid Podcast

This week on the pod is something a little different. Andy is out sick and we already released a Patreon episode the previous week, so rather than doing two in a row, Doominal Crossing decided to take the pilot's seat for a special story time session. In this episode, Doom talks about his entire history with the Metroid series, the good, the bad and the ugly. In his journey, he chronicles how he got into series, why it resonates so much with him and how it impacted his life. All of this as the Nintendo Switch 2 looms ever closer!   Visit OmegaMetroid.com!   Subscribe! Podbean x iTunes x Spotify x YouTube Support us on Patreon!

Andy and Doom weren't able to get together to produce a new episode, so we put put to a Discord vote and you selected for this week's show a blast from the past! ROM Hack Reviews returns just in time to send off 2022 the right way! This month, two Metroid games are being smashed together to make Super Metroid: Federation Force. Made by Metaquarius, this hack attempts to bring some honor back to the Federation Force branding! Does it succeed? Or is the Galactic brand just cursed to live in infamy?

Definitive Ranking returns! This week, we're examining Milton Guasti's Another Metroid II Remake, or AM2R, the fan game so unbelievably good we can rank it on the same level as official Metroid games! We're going through and ranking it by the same standards as we would an official Nintendo-made Metroid game, talking about the boss inclusions, how Metroid fights could have been implemented differently, some of the crazy expansions, and more! Come play along, and as always, here's the criteria for the Definitive Rankings: World / Atmosphere (the vibe, the setting, the mood) Art Style (design of Samus, the enemies, the graphics in general) Story (what works, what doesn't) Pacing / Progression (are there any parts that really bog the player down, or is it still fun getting lost?) Gameplay / “Gimmick” (what new or different gameplay aspects we like) Items / Abilities (how are the powerups and are they cool and practical) Areas (how does each individual area look, feel, play, etc.) Enemies / Bosses (are they fun, creative, etc.) Expansions / Powerups (are the expansions hidden throughout the world fun, creative, and enjoyable to collect?) Music (are we humming along?) 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!   Visit OmegaMetroid.com!   Subscribe!

We're back with another episode of Logbook Archives, our lore-centric series, and this week, we're examining the most important - and mysterious - faction in the Metroid universe: the Galactic Federation! Little is known about this organization, but we go over and cover everything we know, starting with the history and formation, through the Prime Era, Project Golem, the Metroid Crisis, the Bottle Ship Incident, the BSL Incident, and ZDR's E.M.M.I. theft. We examine the tech Sylux stole, the mysterious Ringleader faction, and the Metroid experiments. To end it off, we speculate on what role the Galactic Federation could play in Metroid Prime 4 and Metroid 6! All this, PLUS some thoughts on Sinners and plugging Omega Metroid's Metroid Prime Hunters Single-Player and Multiplayer Walkthrough! Come and hang out with us!   Visit OmegaMetroid.com!   Subscribe!

After all the chaos of the last few weeks, we thought we'd better open it up to our listeners to see what was on their minds! We asked you for your questions, and you delivered in this weeks Q&A, so buckle in! We're covering topics like: what will Samus's red and black suit functionality be like? Do the chances of seeing Ridley in Beyond seem slim now? Will the Delano 7 show up? What would we do if we were in charge of Metroid Prime 4's marketing? Are the Lamorn and Metroid Prime related? Will Metroid Dread get a Switch 2 upgrade? All this, PLUS our horror stories trying to pre-order a Switch 2! Come hang out with us!   Visit OmegaMetroid.com!   Subscribe!

Andy is out this week on the pod, meaning Dak and Doom are here to take the wheel! Last week, we discussed the Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Nintendo Treehouse demo in great detail to fully analyze its contents. This week, we gathered ALL of the official info on the game we could find; from gameplay to developer quotes, and attempted to use that information to predict where the game's story is heading. What are Sylux's motivations? Do the new "Fusion" Metroids have a relationship to the psychic abilities Samus acquires? Should the Lamorn be trusted? Is there a greater connection to the Metroid Prime Trilogy storyline than we realize? All of this and so much more in this nearly 2 hour discussion! Plus... A major update on Nintendo Switch 2 North American pre-orders, now confirmed to begin on April 24th! Good luck everyone!   Visit OmegaMetroid.com!   Subscribe!

Andy and Doom return after another crazy week of news updates regarding Switch 2 pre-orders, tariffs, and games! We sort through it all and then take a look in depth at the Treehouse footage from last week, talking about the amazing opening cinematic, the text crawl, the standoff between Samus and Sylux, the artifact, and the Golem mechs! We lament over what could have been with Federation Force, speculate about the whereabouts of Samus's ship on Viewros, and analyze some key art to get an idea of what kind of landscape we could be in for!

What a crazy week it has been. We have no time to waste, so we kick off the show with some talk about our thoughts on the price of the Switch 2, Mario Kart World, and the pre-orders being delayed in North America (Canadian pre-orders had not been delayed at the time of recording). After that, we get down to the fun business and talk to Dak, who got a chance to get some hands on game time in New York at the Nintendo Switch 2 event! Dak gives us his impressions of the Switch 2, mouse controls, Mario Kart World, Drag x Drive, Donkey Kong Bananza, and of course, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond!

WOW! Today was the day that Nintendo fans have been waiting for: The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, and boy what a show we got! After months of anticipation since the January 18th reveal of the console and a lower key Switch 1 Direct last week to briefly tide us over, Nintendo finally delivered the megaton of Switch 2 information that we've been craving. Among the key announcement were the price and release date, Mario Kart World, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, Donkey Kong Bananza, Kirby Air Riders, GameCube games coming to Nintendo Switch Online, loads of killer 3rd party titles, console specs, voice chat and screen sharing, options to upgrade your Switch 1 games - including Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, and FINALLY, the confirmation of METROID PRIME 4: BEYOND – NINTENDO SWITCH 2 EDITION! It's a Zelda Cast x Omega Metroid crossover, as Andy Spiteri, Doominal Crossing and Alasyn Eletha watch the Direct live and give their full comprehensive thoughts on the presentation.   Visit OmegaMetroid.com!   Subscribe!

WHOA! Well, in the span of 24 hours, we had a surprise Nintendo Direct announcement that promised to showcase Switch 1 titles, so of course, we all buckled up for the latest Metroid Prime 4 news, and the Direct delivered! While the overall quality of the Direct itself was debatable at best, the trailer shown for Beyond was awesome, introducing us to the new planet Viewros, new Psychic Abilities for Samus, new alien friends and foes, and a drop-dead gorgeous new suit for the Bounty Hunter. We go over and analyze, speculate, and theorize over the trailer, and as a special treat, we're joined by Dak for the first time in a while!

Inspired By Metroid returns this week, as Andy and Zach get together to talk about a game somewhat light on Metroid references, but one with a deep connection to our community! Acclaimed developer of AM2R Milton Guasti joined Squid Shock Studios to make the wonderful Bō: Path of the Teal Lotus, a Metroidvania that could best be described as Ōkami meets Hollow Knight, and this week, the guys get together and talk about what they like, areas they thought could be improved, the plethora of side quests and collectables, and so much more!

fter a long layoff, Definitive Ranking returns, and this time we have our work cut out for us! We are tasked with ranking the most un-Metroid Metroid game there is, 2016's multiplayer spinoff Federation Force! We give the game it's due while talking about the deep customization options and solid gameplay and level design, while also unfortunately taking it to task for it's shortcomings in the music, story, and art style department. We're fair but forgiving, so come listen and see what you agree with! Come play along, and as always, here's the criteria for the Definitive Rankings: World / Atmosphere (the vibe, the setting, the mood) Art Style (design of Samus, the enemies, the graphics in general) Story (what works, what doesn't) Pacing / Progression (are there any parts that really bog the player down, or is it still fun getting lost?) Gameplay / “Gimmick” (what new or different gameplay aspects we like) Items / Abilities (how are the powerups and are they cool and practical) Areas (how does each individual area look, feel, play, etc.) Enemies / Bosses (are they fun, creative, etc.) Expansions / Powerups (are the expansions hidden throughout the world fun, creative, and enjoyable to collect?) Music (are we humming along?)

Mapping Metroid returns to tackle a two in one special area from Metroid Prime 3: The G.F.S. Olympus and planet Norion!

In case you've been living under a rock, Nintendo released a, what has to be described as lackadaisical, video revealing the successor the the Switch: the aptly named Nintendo Switch 2! We go over the info we have, discuss the mouse-Joycons, talk about some of the QOL improvements, discuss the magnetic Joycon connectors, give our thoughts on Mario Kart 9, and our overall thoughts on the lack of pizzazz given to the reveal.

This game, developed solo by Billy Basso, has you controlling an unnamed blob navigating a dense and rich world full of secrets, challenges, and, well, animals!

After a long layoff, everyone's favorite gameshow SAMUS'S PERCENTAGES returns! The premise is simple: we make a statement and give a percentage on how likely to be true that statement is, 100% being a certainty, 0% being an impossibility. This week, we're focused on the Switch 2, with Samus's Percentages like: Does Metroid Prime 4 launch on Switch 2 Day 1? Will the Switch 2 cost $399.99? Could we get apps like Netflix and Prime Video on the Switch 2? Will the eshop be overhauled? Will there be a Mario Movie sequel tie in in any Mario games?

Another year has passed by, and while there was no new Metroid games released in 2024, you can't say it was a quiet year for our favorite franchise! Zero Mission made its way to NSO, rumors of the Switch 2 dominated the year, and after 7 long years, we finally saw Metroid Prime 4! We review the year that was, and look ahead to 2025 and ask questions like when will the Switch 2 release, will Metroid Prime 4 be a cross-gen title, is there any hope still for Echoes and Corruption on the Switch, and so much more!

As November comes to a close, so does our month-long coverage on the 20th anniversary of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. To conclude this month of content, we're busting out an old gem from the early days of the Definitive Ranking series - WITH A TWIST! Echoes was ranked before Doominal Crossing joined the podcast, meaning he never got a say on this legendary title. Today, Doom takes the driver's seat to host a mega review along with 3 special guests making their debut on the pod; Doeboy, Trav Guy & ThatMetroidGuy! Together, this fully assembled Metroid squad take on the definitive ranking gauntlet FOR OVER 2 HOURS in an effort to redetermine Echoes' placement amongst the greats. Join us for this special grand finale event! All of this plus talking about the newly announced Metroid Prime 1-3: Visual Retrospective and why we're all hyped for it!

Andy and Dak are finally reunited, and talking that Metroid just like old time! We have a breezy show this week, as we talk about Nintendo's confirmation Switch 2 will be backwards compatible and NSO will transfer over, go over the updated Dread and Prime sales numbers, speculate on when we'll see Switch 2 revealed and what the consoles gimmick will be (if any!), plus talk about what Metroid needs to do to appeal to a wider audience.

With Halloween right around the corner, we thought that would be cool to take a spin around the world of Metroid and talk about the scariest areas and monsters, PLUS some areas that should have been scary, but unfortunately, were not. We go over areas such as the Wrecked Ship, GFS Valhalla, and Genetics Laboratory, cover monsters like the Nightmare, Corpius, and Experiment Z-57, and talk about the lack of dread in Metroid Dread and what we might have changed in the E.M.M.I. zones. All this, PLUS we go over our favorite Halloween games! Come hang out with us, and happy Halloween!   Visit OmegaMetroid.com!   Subscribe! Podbean x iTunes x Spotify x YouTube Support us on Patreon!

There are tons of great Metroid ideas out there, but there are just as many bad ones, if not more! This week on the show, Dak and Doom found a fun thread online that has some of the worst ideas they've seen for a Metroid game.

Tune in and check out our thoughts on these ideas, then let us know -- what are your worst Metroid ideas ever?!   Visit OmegaMetroid.com!   Subscribe!

Metroid Manga in Review returns! This time, we're talking about the third, and for our money, best volume of the manga so far! Our heroes are taking on a whole slew of enemies, including rival bounty hunters, Galactic Federation detectives, a secret arms dealer organization, and an incredible new big bad revealed at the end!

Everybody's favorite game in the Metroid universe is back! After almost two whole years, the whole band is back together to play "Guess That Metroid Character", and this time, we've activated FUSION DIFFICULTY, limiting ourselves to only TEN yes or no questions to determine the character!

After a lengthy layoff, Inspired By Metroid returns! The recently released Castlevania Dominus Collection gave Andy an excuse to jump back into one of his favorite Metroidvania's of all time - Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow! Andy's joined by ex-Bungie visual designer Andrew Elmore to talk Dawn of Sorrow and its incredible Soul system, the crazy amount of customization for your gameplay available, the disappointing art style change from Aria of Sorrow, the incredible bosses, the modern story setting and Soma Cruz as a protagonist, the incredible areas and bosses, Castlevania's best ever post game mode (you can play as Alucard!!), and how the Souls system could potentially influence the direction that Metroid 6 takes!

In a sequel / update to one of our earliest episodes on the podcast, we're revisiting a fun topic: ranking the best final bosses in the series! Doom wasn't around for the first episode four years ago, and Andy's tastes have certainly evolved and changed over the years, so we're going game by game to decide on which final showdown is tops among them all! From Mother Brain to Raven Beak, Dark Samus to the Queen Metroid, every one of them is ranked, so let us know what you agree and disagree with!

Logbook Archives returns this week to give a complete history and detailing of all of the various Gunships (or Starships, as they are also known) that Samus has piloted over the course of the franchise! We examine the history of the main ships - Super Metroid's, Zero Mission's, Fusion's, Prime 1 and Prime 3's - and talk about our favorite design aspects, who built them, what functions the are implied to have, and what our favorite and least favorite version of the ship is. We're also examining the spinoff appearances the ship has made, like in Super Smash Bros, Metroid Blast, Rocket League, and... Virtual Boy Galactic Pinball?? If you love the Gunship as much as we do, you won't want to miss this! All this, PLUS some thoughts on the PS5 Pro and Samus's Gunship showing up in the next Mario Kart game!

This week on the show, Dak and Doom pose a question - does Metroid need to be less like Metroid to succeed? Are the Metroidvania aspects of the series holding it back from growing as a franchise? Recently in our Discord server, one of our community members posted a video talking about this very topic, which we thought would make for a good discussion! Dak and Doom dive into this topic to give their takes.  PLUS we answer a few more questions from our Q&A channel (also in our Discord server!). And we wrap things up by talking about what the "best feeling" in a Metroid game is. Is there anything better than getting an Energy Tank when you're at low health? We let you know!

Mapping Metroid returns, and we're going where we've never gone before: the planet Bion from everybody's favorite spinoff Metroid Prime: Federation Force! Since the game is level based, this Mapping Metroid is a little different, as we go through and rank all seven levels on the planet! From the incredible missions like Tremor and Slipstream to the hardest and most notorious level in Federation Force, Blender, we go through and give our thoughts on the boss battles, ambivalent lore scattered throughout, musical tracks, and Bion's obsession and fascination with... mini-golf?? Having just replayed the game, Andy also gives his thoughts on what the fatal flaw of Federation Force is, and spoiler - it's not the chibi art style! All this, PLUS Doom's thoughts on Alien Romulus, Andy's dog Linkin making a cameo, and our thoughts on what the heck is up with Blast Ball.

One of our most anticipated episodes of the year is finally here! Alien in Review is BACK to review the newest entry in the series: Fede Alvarez's Alien: Romulus! The newest Alien movie takes place in between Alien and Aliens, which is fitting as it strikes a perfect tone between the two masterpieces. Andy is joined once again by Gooey Fame to discuss Romulus in great detail! We go over the film's new cast of characters, who we liked and hope to see return, how the effects and vibe came off, what the best kills of the movie were, the new lore added to the franchise, Romulus's connections to the other entries, how this movie impacts the world of Alien going forward, and our overall review of the film! The first half is spoiler free, whereas the second half is filled with spoilers! We give a big spoiler warning, but listener beware! We also talk a little Alien: Earth, the new Hulu series being released next year and what we're hoping to see! Alien In Review will return!

Following last week's show where we discussed some of our least favorite Metroid titles, Andy decided to give the single player campaign in Metroid Prime Hunters another spin to see of those critiques held up, so this week, the guys have a discussion about a bunch of different topics! We're talking about how the button vs stylus controls feel, if the game absolutely needed the Scan Visor, power ranking the various weapons Samus acquires, how the bosses stack up against others in the series, and so much more! We're delving into the good, the bad, and the ugly from Hunters' single player experience, so come let us know what you think! All this, PLUS some cool announcements regarding new walkthroughs available on OmegaMetroid.com, and teeing up the return of Alien In Review next week as we get set for Alien Romulus!   Visit OmegaMetroid.com!   Subscribe!

We're back this week with a POSITIVE SPIN on some of our not-so-favorite Metroid games! We asked you what your favorite things about your least favorite Metroid games were, and we got a ton of different, positive responses! As you might imagine, lots of entries were centered around Other M and Federation Force, but from the boss fights and quality of the cutsenes in Other M to the fun co-op and customization options in Federation Force, plus the expanded world of Hunters, soundtrack of NEStroid, and actual bounty hunting found in Metroid 2, there's a lot to like this week!

After a lengthy layover, our lore-centric series Logbook Archives returns! In this episode, we're asking the million dollar question in the Metroid universe: who is Sylux?? We go over everything we know about the Hunter, from in-game lore, to official game descriptions, to developer interviews to try and determine who's behind the mask. We also give our thoughts on what we would like to see and NOT see in Beyond, PLUS we're taking your theories on Sylux's identity! Everything is on the table, from the much-panned Ian Malkovich theory, to Sylux being a former operative of the galactic Federation, to thoughts on Sylux being another survivor from K2l, to Sylux.. being Samus?? Everything is on the table in this episode, so come listen and tell us your thoughts on who you think the enigmatic bounty hunter could be!   Visit OmegaMetroid.com!   Subscribe!

Welcome back to another week of Metroid talk! This time around, despite loving the reveal trailer for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, the guys share some of their critiques about what we saw. Each host has something a bit different that stood out to them; Doom noticed some of the animations and technical details in the trailer that underwhelmed, Dak took umbrage with the lack of new features and skills shown off, while Andy raised concerns about the timing and manner in which the trailer itself was released. There's a lot of devil's advocating in this show, so let us know if you share any of these concerns! All this, PLUS some followup on last week's Zero Mission Definitive Ranking and a sidebar into Raven Beak and Metroid Dread's DNA storyline!

We've been wrapped up in all the Metroid Prime 4 excitement, but we can't forget that it wasn't the only big Metroid news from last month! With Metroid: Zero Mission's release on the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack in June, we decided it was time to finally do a Zero Mission Definitive Ranking! Join Dak and Doom for a full episode on Metroid: Zero Mission, where we rank the game on several different categories: story, gameplay, music, art style, and more!  Join us as we celebrate one of our favorite games in the series by revisiting Zero Mission!      Visit OmegaMetroid.com!   Subscribe!

It's time for Part 2 of our Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Q&A! Andy and Dak are back to tackle a whole slew of questions, including: how do we think Beams will work in terms of stacking or not? Could we see bonus content if there is a Metroid Dread save file on the Switch? Will the game be significantly larger in size than previous entries? Could there be a DLC campaign where you get to play as Sylux? Could Samus have a customizable base of operations in the game? Will Retro revisit the scrapped Meta Kraid concept cor Metroid Prime 1? What is the single best and single worst thing than Metroid Prime 4 can do? All this and so much more are on the table, PLUS a little wrestling talk and setting up the return of a fan favorite series next week when Definitive Ranking return to examine Metroid: Zero Mission!   Visit OmegaMetroid.com!   Subscribe!

The gang is back talking more Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, and this week, we asked all of you to get in on the action and ask us questions about Samus's upcoming adventure! We got so many questions in-fact that were breaking this into two parts! On the docket this week: should Federation Forces Slow Beam return? What are the chances Admiral Dane pops back up? If we are time travelling, what areas of a past Tallon IV would we want to see? With Sylux confirmed as the antagonist, do we still get a Ridley fight? What Prime Trilogy entry would we like to see Beyond pull from the most AND the least? Is Melee combat going to be a thing in the new game? And maybe most importantly - is Sylux actually Joey in disguise (we jest)?! All this and so much more is discussed, plus a little video game talk about what we're currently playing.

The band is back together again, still reeling from last weeks' incredible reveal of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. This week, we're sharing our theories on what could be going on with the story, including: is there going to be any time travel or alternative dimensions that we can travel to? What is motivating Sylux and why do they hate the Federation so much? Could see revisit planets previously seen in the Trilogy? When does this game take place in the timeline? Are those Mochtroids or a new type of Metroid that we see around Sylux? And what's going on with the Space Pirates this time around? We're super exciting to be sharing our theories, so make sure you get in on the action by participating in our Q&A show next week!   Visit OmegaMetroid.com!   Subscribe!

IT'S REAL! After seven long years, we FINALLY got our first look at the newly rechristened Metroid Prime 4: Beyond! The fellas get together to break down the trailer and everything saw, from the impressive graphics to the slick HUD, offer our thoughts on Samus's design for her Power Suit and Gunship, offer thoughts on how the Scan Visor works, touch on the music and audio queues in the trailer, and of course, break down THAT moment where the world was officially introduced to Sylux! We also reflect on what this announcement means to us personally, as a collection of friends who started a weekly Metroid podcast years ago, to finally see the inspiration for the start of our journey! We're also touching on Metroid: Zero Mission, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Perfect Dark, and some of the other major announcements from this star studded Nintendo Direct!

Everyone's favorite game-show, Samus's Percentages, returns! The premise is simple: we read a statement and then assign it a percentage on it coming true or not, and this time around, we're focusing on Metroid Prime 4 and the June Direct! We're giving our percentages on questions like: do we see Metroid Prime 4? Do we see any Metroid titles? Will there be two or less first party Nintendo games shown? Is Metroid Prime 5 releasing within 3 years after Prime 4? Will Nintendo let the Switch 2 launch with Prime 4 as its only game for a month? All this and so much more, PLUS we're giving our thoughts on all the new games shown this weekend at Summer Games Fest, including Perfect Dark, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown DLC, and Doom: The Dark Ages!
