Email your questions to the podcast here. Metroid Ravenous has sparked major Switch 2 speculation after a now-removed Brazil rating filed by Nintendo of America hinted at a possible 2026 release window, fueling rumors that it could be a sequel or continuation of Metroid Dread and even part of a larger wave of Metroid projects in development. In this episode of Nintendo Pow Block, Edward Varnell and Corey Dirrig, discuss what this leak could mean for Nintendo's future lineup, alongside discussion of Shigeru Miyamoto teasing new characters beyond Mario and Zelda, the high-priced Super Mario Bros. Wonder Elephant Mario statue, and the ongoing success story of Cyberpunk 2077 on Nintendo Switch 2. They also explore whether Nintendo could remain the last major publisher committed to physical games as Sony and Xbox continue shifting toward an all-digital future.This and more on Nintendo Pow Block!

One announcement dominated the gaming industry this week: PlayStation is ending physical game releases beginning in 2028. Is this the inevitable future of gaming, or should players be worried about ownership, preservation, pricing, and consumer rights?

A mysterious new Metroid game titled Metroid Ravenous may have just leaked through Brazil's official classification system.

Tonight, we break down the leak, what the name Ravenous could mean, whether MercurySteam might be involved, and when Nintendo could officially reveal the game.

Most gamers complain about Nintendo but hypocritically support its recurring remakes—are we truly fans, or just cult followers? In this unfiltered episode, Mekel Kasanova dives into the chaos surrounding the new Star Fox reveal and exposes the entitlement, hypocrisy, and social media outrage that's poisoning gaming culture.You'll discover how Nintendo keeps revisiting beloved classics like Star Fox and Metroid to introduce them to new audiences—and why this irritates certain fan groups who demand original content they refuse to support. Mekel breaks down the longevity of series remakes and why not supporting these efforts only fuels the industry's obsession with reboots over new ideas. He reveals why today's gamers are more reactive than receptive, criticizing the culture of outrage that dominates social media, and highlights how this disconnect harms the future of gaming.We also explore why industry giants like Xbox are turning things around under new leadership, and how their focus on quality and innovation might threaten Sony's dominance. Mekel shares his thoughts on the rise of casual gamers, social media fakery, and the decline of genuine passion within gaming communities. This episode is perfect for anyone tired of the hype, fed-up with the fake outrage, and craving real talk about where gaming is headed.If you love gaming — not just as a casual pastime but as a passionate craft — this raw, honest rant is your must-listen.

We also cover all the Nintendo and gaming news such as the release dates and overviews for Yoshi and the Mysterious Book & Splatoon Raiders, rumors of a live-action horror themed Metroid movie, Tomodachi Life's HUGE sales numbers in Japan and much more.

A new rumor suggests a Metroid movie could be in development, with multiple studios reportedly competing for the rights. Following the success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Nintendo may be expanding its film plans, but Metroid would bring a much darker, sci-fi tone. In today's Nintendo News Daily, we break down what this could mean, the risks, and whether Metroid can actually work as a movie.

After a long layoff, Mapping Metroid returns! This time around, we are analyzing one of Andy's favorite areas in the series: Super Metroid's Brinstar! We talk about the structure of the area and how it's cleverly segmented (Green, Red, Dark, and Kraid); how amazing the musical tracks are and why the Green Brinstar theme is underrated; our favorite rooms, including the n00b bridge, Mockball room, big pink room, and more; the lore of the Etecoons, Dachoras, mini-Kraid, and fallen soldier; that awesome Kraid fight and the Spore Spawn encounter; and so much more!

While we have run out of Metroid games proper to talk shop, Eric is joined by guest Fanboymaster from RPGamer's Q and A podcast to talk about the genre that the Metroid series created. while we don't go over every game, and gloss over some I really wish would have been remembered to be mentioned, I hope you enjoy this bit of discussion!
After another 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 looking forward tackling Samus's Percentages like: is Metroid 6 revealed in 2026 or not? Does Metroid Prime 5 continue the Sylux storyline? Will Metroid Dread get a Switch 2 enhanced edition? Does Metroid Prime break 3 million in total sales? Is the Mario Galaxy Movie going to end up the highest grossing movie of the year? All this and a TON of more great questions posed, so get in this week and hang out, and be sure to give us your own Samus's Percentages! Visit OmegaMetroid.com! Subscribe!

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we continue our series on Majora's Mask. Though it might come off as fairly negative, due to some of the hang-ups we've had while playing, we still love the swing of this game. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: Roughly Zoras/Gorons Issues covered: crunching and putting in developer commentary, the tone of dialog, spending another week, getting the notebook, hoping for an alien mask, layering things on the world, maximizing their opportunities, opening up spaces, changing your identity, adding special abilities via wearables, keys that aren't keys, shifting your player mentality to get the non-resetting items, feeling like you wasted time, not playing Zelda "the right way," not knowing what the rewards for side content will be, going against the formula, being yanked around over a scarce resource, wanting you to go in the hole, crutching on Tatl and being in the right spot, the time pressure and proposing a solution, a laost generation of games, changing play style, de-3DS-ifying, investing in fan theories and creating new ideas and works, using suspended/quick saves, hardware and game motivations, quality of life. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: Eyes Wide Shut, Metroid (series), Ultima, CalamityNolan, MatPat, BenDROWNED, Inscryption, Daniel Mullins, Mark Garcia, Mario Golf, Golden Sun, Final Fantasy (series), Fire Emblem (series), PSP, Game Boy, SquareSoft, Dwarf Fortress, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers.

Episode 3295: Roger Lawson reframes fitness as the ultimate real-life RPG, showing how the persistence, strategic thinking, and reward systems gamers use can be harnessed to build healthier habits. By embracing the grind, creating your own quests, and hacking your environment, you can turn fitness into a game you're designed to win. Read along with the original article(s) here: http://roglawfitness.com/how-to-use-your-gaming-skills-for-fitness-success/ Quotes to ponder: "You're a gamer, and it's time the world hears you roar." "Hopping from one program or diet to the next in search of the 'secret' is just another way of trying to circumvent the grind." "The key to success is pushing yourself consistently in small doses that make you slightly uncomfortable."
