Podcasts about Metroid

Get ready for a SOLO SPITERI episode, as Andy is by himself this week talking about Hollow Knight: Silksong! We asked for your questions, and you delivered, so we get to touch on a bunch of different topics, including: what do we think Hollow Knight did better than Silksong and vice versa? What was Andy's favorite boss fight? Is it a per-requisite for Metroid 6 to have side content now? Could charms or a skill tree work in a Metroid game? Should Metroid 6 try and be as long as Silksong? And finally, what's Andy's take on the difficulty of the game - was it not accessible enough, or was this the right vision? All this, plus some Middle-Earth: The Podcast previews. Come hang out as we talk all things Silksong!    Visit OmegaMetroid.com!   Subscribe!

We're back and battling through technical difficulties to bring you a really weird episode we've wanted to do for a while: ranking the best enemy transitions from 2D Metroid to 3D Metroid! As you'd expect, there's a lot of Metroid Prime Trilogy baddies here, but we also give a lot of love to Other M for its designs as well. From common goons like Geemers, Atomics, and Kihunters to top tier foes like Nightmare, Queen Metroid and Ridley, we examine the most impactful transitions and rank 'em! Let us know what you think! PLUS - next week, it's Silksong Q7A next week, so get your question in here and they'll be answered!   Visit OmegaMetroid.com!   Subscribe! Podbean x iTunes x Spotify x YouTube Support us on Patreon!

*Insert train whistle here* Did the Spooktacular Express sneak up on you? Because it snuck up on us! We blinked in January and suddenly it became Spooky Season. Even though we got caught on our heels, we're still confident that we can pull together the best Halloween party the internet has ever seen. To make it happen, we're calling in some friends from Nintendo to buff up the party vibes. That left us with the question: Which Nintendo property would host the best Halloween party? Matt is excited to tell you about a movie he's never seen. Todd is excited to tell you about a weird, little freak. Kyle is excited to tell you about a Freudian Slip.

Worum geht's? 1986 erscheint mit Kid Icarus ein ungewöhnlicher Plattformer für das NES, der Elemente aus Action, Jump 'n' Run und Rollenspiel vereint – und dabei deutlich sperriger ist, als sein niedlicher Held vermuten lässt. Als geflügelter Engel Pit kämpft man sich durch vertikale und horizontale Labyrinthe, sammelt Herzen als Währung, verbessert seine Ausrüstung und stellt sich schließlich Medusa, der Göttin der Finsternis. Fabian und Gunnar sprechen in dieser Folge über die Entstehung des Spiels im Umfeld von Metroid, die Mischung aus antiker Mythologie und 8-Bit-Design sowie die Frage, warum Kid Icarus trotz seiner Ecken und Kanten bis heute Kultstatus genießt. Infos zum Spiel: Thema: Kid Icarus Erscheinungstermin: 1986 Plattform: NES Entwickler: Nintendo R&D1 Publisher: Nintendo Genre: Jump&Run Entwickler: Toru Osawa, Gunpei Yokoi, Satoru Okada Musik: Hirokazu Tanaka Produktions-Credits: Sprecher, Redaktion: Fabian Käufer, Gunnar Lott Audioproduktion: Fabian Langer, Christian Schmidt Titelgrafik: Paul Schmidt Intro & Outro: Nino Kerl (Ansage); Trash80.com (Musik)

Welcome to Season 7 of Chapter Select! Respond to the distress beacon with Scan Visor aficionado Max Roberts and Morph Ball enthusiast Logan Moore as they explore the Metroid Prime series. Along the way, they'll lose some power-ups, chart derelict civilizations, and mod the heck out of Samus as they—along with Nintendo—push the Metroid franchise into the unknown reaches of space and game design. It has been a very long time coming—both for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and this season of Chapter Select. We have been hard at work on this season since its announcement two years ago and now, just like Retro Studios, are prepared to share its impending release plan with you all.  You can read a copy of this episode's transcript here. Our signature bounce back-and-forth structure has given us a delightful order this time around. Besides the hilarity of Federation Force (what I have been affectionately calling Feddie Force) being our second episode, I like the console and handheld flip-flopping. Here is the release schedule for Season 7: - Episode 1 – Metroid Prime Remastered (2025) is releasing on October 1, 2025. - Episode 2 – Metroid Prime: Federation Force (2016) is releasing on October 15, 2025. - Episode 3 – Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (2004) is releasing October 29, 2025. - Episode 4 – Metroid Prime Hunters (2006) is releasing November 12, 2025. - Episode 5 – Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (2007) is releasing on November 26, 2025. - Episode 6 – Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (2025) will release after we both beat the game. This season has been a journey to record with the ups and downs of life woven throughout its production. We recorded our first episode on October 14, 2023—just shy of two years to the day of its release. I've been editing the episodes over the last two months and it has been a strange treat to relive the games and show. I think that is a testament to both the show and this franchise of games we chose to play.  You may notice that there are no guests this season. The season's production cycle and our *long* play sessions didn't make it very conducive to have guests on the show. Even if we were dialed in, we had a difficult time getting guests for the Metroid Prime season. Our Castlevania season was/is a different story and I hope to reconfirm the guests we pitched ages ago. I do think a season of this size (just six episodes) makes our journey through the *Prime* series more intimate with just the two of us The art has been a two year struggle for me and I have landed on a similar idea to Season 5 – Resident Evil. Each episode will showcase a planet and a stylized logo to help indicate the episode's subject. It's taken me ages to land on this design.  I am...relieved this season is coming out. There were times over the last two years that I thought it'd be better to can the entire show. Along the way, we lost some power-ups, armor, and had to explore new territories. I am glad we persevered, explored, and finished what we set out to do. This season is great. Make sure to subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts. I hope you enjoy.

How confident are you when your test suite goes green? If you're honest, probably not 100% confident - because most bugs come from scenarios we never thought to test. Traditional testing only catches the problems we anticipate, but the 3am pager alerts? Those come from the unexpected interactions, timing issues, and edge cases we never imagined.In this episode, Will Wilson from Antithesis takes us deep into the world of autonomous testing. They've built a deterministic hypervisor that can simulate entire distributed systems - complete with fake AWS services - and intelligently explore millions of possible states to find bugs before production. Think property-based testing, but for your entire infrastructure stack. The approach is so thorough they've even used it to find glitches in Super Mario Brothers (seriously).We explore how deterministic simulation works at the hypervisor level, why traditional integration tests are fundamentally limited, and how you can write maintainable tests that actually find the bugs that matter. If you've ever wished you could test "what happens when everything that can go wrong does go wrong," this conversation shows you how that's finally becoming possible.---Support Developer Voices on Patreon: https://patreon.com/DeveloperVoicesSupport Developer Voices on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DeveloperVoices/joinAntithesis: https://antithesis.com/Antithesis testing with Super Mario: https://antithesis.com/blog/sdtalk/...and with Metroid: https://antithesis.com/blog/2025/metroid/MongoDB: https://www.mongodb.com/etcd (Linux Foundation): https://etcd.io/Facebook Hermit: https://github.com/facebookexperimental/hermitRR (Record-Replay Debugger): https://rr-project.org/T-SAN (Thread Sanitizer): https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ThreadSanitizer.htmlToby Bell's Strange Loop Talk on JPL Testing: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=toby+bell+strange+loop+jplAndy Weir - Project Hail Mary: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54493401-project-hail-maryAndy Weir - The Martian: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18007564-the-martianAntithesis Blog (Nintendo Games Testing): https://antithesis.com/blog/Kris on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/krisajenkins.bsky.socialKris on Mastodon: http://mastodon.social/@krisajenkinsKris on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/krisjenkins/

Jazeker wel, ook deze dinsdag een nieuwe Gamekings Daily! Doordeweeks kun je bijna elke dag genieten van deze vodcast, waarin we de laatste nieuwtjes en ontwikkelingen doornemen op gebied van game nieuws. In zo'n 20 minuten word je helemaal bijgepraat, op de enige echte Gamekings manier: Met een flinke dosis ongezouten mening. Vandaag zit Jasper wederom bij Skate, en het tweetal laat zich uit over de hype rond Hollow Knight: Silksong, de nieuwe DLC voor The Division 2: Survivors, en als kers op de taart de laatste nieuwtjes rond Borderlands 4 ÉN Forza Horizon 6. Al deze nieuwtjes, uitgebreide discussies en nog veel meer, staan klaar voor je in de Gamekings Daily van dinsdag 26 augustus 2025.Hollow Knight: Silksong is onderweg om de Metroid serie in te halenGamekings Daily is er op alle werkdagen, op de vrijdag na, waarbij wij het gamenieuws doortrekken tot onze oude traditie van EvdWL. Of als er natuurlijk andere video's in de pijplijn zitten. In deze Daily praten Jasper en Skate zoals altijd over de meest interessante topics van het moment. Eén van de meest geroemde games van het moment is Hollow Knight: Silksong. Voor fans van het vorige deel was het een zit van de lange adem. Na 8 jaar is daar nu de volgende Hollow Knight game, en de hype die daarbij komt kijken is van grote proporties. De games kunnen aardig goed op weg zijn om een nog populairdere franchise te worden dan de Metroid serie... Hoe denkt het tweetal erover?Ubisoft kondigt The Division 2: Survivors aanIn ander opvallend nieuws bespreken Skate en Jasper de aankondiging van een nieuwe uitbreiding voor The Division 2. Hoe denken deze mannen over The Division in het algemeen? Is het anno 2025 nog relevant genoeg om nog meer nieuwe content voor te maken, of zou de uitgever - die al in zwaar water zit - zich niet beter kunnen focussen op een vervolg?

We delve the depths of Tallon IV on this episode of Still Loading. I'm joined by returning guest to the podcast Chris (aka the British Bond Addict) to talk Metroid Prime. Metroid Prime is a game that has eluded me for a while. I first played it over a decade ago but never got around to beating it even though I made it over 90% through the game. That has been finally corrected and I couldn't be happier I got to experience it.... with a few complaints here and there. Chris and I discuss the music, the world, the story, why he's wrong about the story... I mean we just discuss the story. Anyway. Learn how to morph ball and roll on into this new episode!

There is absolutely no time to waste, as this week, we finish off the Samus & Joey saga after 18 months and say goodbye to these characters we've grown to (sometimes begrudgingly) love. We pick up where we left off last week, with Samus, Joey, and Diesel preparing for the final battle against Greed and his henchmen, Knight and Bishop. Returning characters, babyface turns, cathartic victories, and amazing action and art make the back half of Samus & Joey Ex the best run of chapters yet, so come listen as we break down the action and bid farewell to this beloved manga. All of the Samus & Joey manga have been faithfully translated by our pals at Metroid Database, so make sure to check them and their manga section out so you can read for yourself!   Visit OmegaMetroid.com!   Subscribe!

What happens when you give the original Metroid a glow-up with the Super Metroid engine? A lot of cool stuff, and some weird stuff. It's not a perfect fit, but the result is still the second best Metroid game ever made.

We're running through a 9-pack of intro bosses to see which one reigns supreme, and with no one to counter, Andy can make the list whatever he wants!

Why did Xbox do an about-face on $80 games? Would a Metroid movie make the games more popular? Is Fallout or The Last of Us better TV fan service? Where does hate come from?

It's been a devastating month for the games industry; Unprecedanted amounts of layoffs in such a short period of time, multiple anticipated titles cancelled and some of the most tone deaf consolations from various people in power have understandably left a lot of us feeling empty. But in spite of the bleakness surrounding the games industry, Metroid, a series that historically doesn't sell amazingly well is still getting releases (including a certain one later this year!). Today, Doominal Crossing is joined by special guest Joey Ferris as they discuss the recent Microsoft layoffs, the state of the games industry and why Metroid is able to stay relevant in a climate that should theoretically be hostile to it. All this, PLUS Doom talks about Zelda Dungeon raising $12K for No Kid Hungry, his recent trip to the Nintendo San Francisco Store and the duo ponder what's happening with the next 3D Mario entry.   Visit OmegaMetroid.com!   Subscribe!

We are debuting a NEW SHOW SEGMENT this month called Arsenal Evolution, a show that takes both an in-game and real-world look at the evolution, history, and fanfare of different abilities and power-ups for Samus. We thought it was only appropriate to talk about an ability that has become synonymous with Samus herself, and has appeared in every Metroid game: the Morph Ball! We go game by game, looking at how it was utilized, the different power-ups and upgrades associated with it, the transition from 2D to 3D, and so much more!

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we finish our series on 2004 indie classic Cave Story. We talk a lot about difficulty, a bit about story, and also just what a miracle a game like this is from one person. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: Finished (Brett), to dragons (Tim) Issues covered: killing baby dragons, the boss rush, being exhausted beating your head against the wall, drinking a potion maybe too early, what is easy when you play a game every day, the hardcore game underneath, the punishing weapon system, depth of weapon strategy, bad patterns, save points as a balancing mechanism, the charm offensive, story depth and characters, motivating the player, having the music stop to introduce a character, the jetpack weapon, finding the map really late, keys that aren't keys, a HUD on top of level information, parallax, designing for player scalability, macro difficulty and player choice, linearity, having a choice at the end, committing to make a game more difficult or easier for yourself, the music options.  Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: League of Legends, Nintendo Treehouse, Hollow Knight/Silksong, From Software, Bayonetta, Nintendo Switch, Calamity Nolan, Resident Evil 4, Jamie Fristrom, MegaMan, Kaeon, Earthbound, Mario (series), Metroid, Castlevania, God of War, Celeste, Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Dark Souls, KyleAndError, Metal Gear Solid (series), Fez, Spelunky, Derek Yu, Outer Wilds, LostLake, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia.  Next time: Spelunky!

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we start a new game in our series on independent games with 2004's Cave Story. We briefly set the game in its time, talk a little about its developer, and then talk about the game proper. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: A couple of hours Issues covered: freeware vs democratized indie dev and publishing, Japanese independent development, an indie darling, likely antecedents, 2004 in review, the end of a cycle, standing out in a stacked year, sticking it out, breaking through onto Nintendo platforms, early independent success on the Switch platform, influences and what's in the mix, weapon leveling, more story than expected, characters and dialog, more adventure, having a mess of villagers, setting up mysteries, merging lots of elements into their story and interactions, a spike at the end, adding puzzle-y elements, keys and keys that are not keys, threads of characters and relationships, something that is more than a MetroidVania, a skill-based game, "you're a really good person," forgetting a console came out, having the opportunity to play off-the-beaten path games, not needing a map, the dangers of categorization, how the platforming feels, fear of skill-based need, becoming one with the controller, an emotional response, empathetic response, catharsis, building the dam and breaking it, graceful building, manipulation in art, can a movie version work vs the interactivity, shock in literary fiction.
