It's a new week, Metroid fans, and this episode we're comparing and contrasting the "Golden Age" of Metroid from 2002-2007 to the current era we're in now, starting in 2021 with Metroid Dread. Andy is joined by Staff Writer Daniel Hoctor to talk about when the tide started to swing back up for the series, how Metroid Prime 4 plays into this era, what other games could be on the horizon, when the first "Golden Age" officially ended, and more! PLUS, we spend some talking Ridley! More specifically, we analyze two articles on improving the Meta Ridley fight and why the Proteus Ridley fight fits thematically in Metroid II!

Samus Aran has conquered the “X” parasite, proving herself as the Ultimate Warrior. Some time after she destroyed the Metroid breeding program by a rogue cell of the Galactic Federation, the mainline Galactic Federation (which had no culpability in the breeding program) received a mysterious video transmission showing a living “X” parasite on the planet ZDR. After the Federation lost contact with their E.M.M.I. robots on the surface of ZDR, they have hired Samus Aran, the last Metroid, to investigate.

El año 2022 está a punto de terminar, pero desde Memoria Cósmica queremos cerrarlo con un nuevo especial. Un programa que más que un episodio es ya una costumbre ancestral. Costumbre que empezó en los foros con el equipo que compone este programa y la cual ha continuado en formato podcast. Toca hacer balance de nuestro año como jugadores. ¿Qué juegos nos hemos pasado? ¿Hemos cumplido los deseos que nos propusimos en el programa del año pasado? ¿Cuál ha sido nuestro GOTY particular? ¿Y los deseos para el 2023? Respondemos todas esas preguntas al mismo tiempo que contamos cómo han sido nuestras experiencias con esos juegos y aprovechamos para lanzar decenas y decenas de recomendaciones. Por supuesto, es uno de esos días en los que lo retro (aunque predomina) se funde con lo actual. Además, también ha habido lugar para celebrarlo junto con nuestros oyentes, que a través de Telegram nos han enviado audios repasando sus años como videojugadores. ¿Y vosotros? ¿Qué tal ha ido 2022? Nos lo podéis comentar también aquí, en Ivoox. Por si fuera poco, en este episodio no solo hemos estado el equipo al completo, sino que también hemos contado con la fantástica presencia de true_kiat. ¡Por segundo programa consecutivo además! Al final hablamos de decenas y decenas de juegos: S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Ocarina of Time, Super Mario 64, DKC, Hades, Neon White, Kirby, Metroid Dread, Adventures of Lolo y un larguísimo etcétera. Por supuesto, también estaremos encantados de recibir vuestro feedback para próximos programas. Y si queréis, podéis irnos diciendo cuál ha sido vuestro GOTY particular en 2022. Tanto de lo que habéis jugado vosotros ese año (aunque sea retro), como de lo que ha salido realmente en 2022. Recordad que tenemos un grupo de Telegram, el cual está abierto a todos los oyentes. No tenéis más que instalar el programa y acceder a través de este enlace: https://t.me/joinchat/LZ01hh0YoYzWJJLAGeSBww (también puedes buscarnos directamente en la App) Y como siempre, os recordamos que si nos seguís en Twitter (@MemoriaCosmica7), estaréis al tanto de todas nuestras iniciativas.

“Then, someone found a cure.” Metroid 4. Or Metroid IV. Coming off the back of Wario Land 4, Nintendo R&D 1's crack team set about writing a direct sequel to Super Metroid, but also a title set much later in the timeline, serving eventually as a prequel to Metroid Dread. Leon, Brian, Leah, Rich and community correspondents get their GBAs (or equivalent) on, and brave the claustrophobic tunnels of a biological research centre and the terrifying, corrupt Samus clone, the SA-X. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_544.mp3 Music featured in this issue:1.

It's hard to believe, but it's been over a year since Metroid Dread released. This week, Andy and Dak are joined by Omega Metroid Website Reporter Griffin Olney to reminisce about their initial reactions to Dread being announced, the buildup towards the game and specifically whether or not Kraid should have been shown, how we feel a year later about some of the new powerups and features that the game introduced, see if our opinions on the story have changed, talk about areas that the next 2D Metroid could improve upon, and examine the state of the Metroid franchise in general one year after release.

Desde el primer episodio de Café Fandango la gente se pregunta "¿qué harán para el programa 420?" y hoy se devela el misterio. Resulta que era un programa común y corriente, con los ojos rojos pero no por el motivo que pensás. En este episodio te contamos de las opiniones de Edu del Genesis Noir, de Gus que arrancó el Inscryption y de Seba que, cuando lo dejan, juega al Metroid Dread. En las noticias, tenemos al Overwatch que se tiró para atrás con los requisitos para las cuentas que ya existían, alguien hizo una versión real del arcade de Waterworld de los Simpsons, Final Fantasy Stevia cierra sus puertas, Argentina fue la tierra de oportunidades para el Let's Build a Zoo y cerramos con el próximo juego de Kojima Productions. Finalmente, con la Pregunta Fandango, recordamos los juegos que nos fumamos y, con un sorteo, celebramos los 8 años de Café Fandango.
While Jocelyn is off this week, Ryan returns with guest host Manny (from the For Azeroth and Going IRL podcasts), as we catch up on the last few weeks in the video game industry. Manny has been running through the Metroid franchise after enjoying Metroid Dread, and also has some advance thoughts to share on the lead up to World of Warcraft: Dragonflight. While Ryan has been busy recovering, he's also go some time in with his new Steam Deck (more on that in the coming weeks). Over in the news, of course we discuss the first look at the Mario Movie, plus The Last of Us has their first trailer as well from HBO, CD Projekt RED forcasts a bunch of games, Google is closing Stadia, and Meta announces the Meta Quest Pro virtual reality headset.
As we wait for Season 3 to officially kick off, The Lads thought we'd take a trip down memory lane and give a proper upload to our conversation/fight about Metroid Dread from earlier in Season 2, the first recorded discussion we ever had. We've certainly improved our set-up and personalities since then, so we appreciate your patience with the wonky audio and nervous laughter throughout. Looking for more Lads content?

Historian Kevin Impellizeri shares a story of a video game controversy to his friends: Elford Stephens, Phil Thomas, and Andy Hunter. This time around, we dive into the world of cryptocurrency and its relationship to gaming. We examine the basics of blockchain technology, decentralized digital currencies, and NFTs as well as some of the hopes (and very, very real problems) with the current crypto scene. We use this to talk about "play-to-earn" (P2E) games, a genre where people can earn crypto by buying, selling, and trading NFTs. Topics discussed include: How a Magic: The Gathering online exchange/Flash game homepage ended up losing millions of dollars worth of Bitcoin, how to make a ton of money selling a Metroid Dread receipt, and the rise and fall of Scandal Coin (TM).To learn more about the chaotic world of anarcho-capitalists, shoddy cybersecurity, questionable legality, and hilarious crypto scams, check out David Gerrard, Attack of the 50 Foot Blockchain: Bitcoin, Blockchain, Ethereum & Smart Contracts (2017). https://davidgerard.co.uk/blockchain/ Check out Phil's sweet NFT: https://nflallday.com/moments/666efe5d-7a4c-4a3a-9e91-50a63fe0429b Watch the Evolved Apes trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g63XqyYL8w0Theme Music: Occam's Sikhwee by Sikh Knowledge (Free Music Archive: https://bit.ly/33G4sLO), used under CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 US (https://bit.ly/33JXogQ) More info, including show notes and sources at http://scandalousgamespodcast.wordpress.com.

What happens when you create a series that launches an entire genre? While Metroid may not have been the first ‘metroidvania', it and its predecessors are certainly the ones we look to as the standard bearer. Metroid Dread comes long after the Cambrian explosion of the metroidvania genre, but proves that the series and its new developers at Mercury Steam, are able to hang with the best of them. Metroid Dread iterates on Metroid Fusion's introduction of being hunted and inclusion of horror elements while upping the ante graphically and gameplay-wise with stunning (and often challenging) boss fights. As the (as of now) final episode in the Metroid series, chronologically speaking, it is a fitting send off for the truly iconic bounty hunter hero, Samus Aran. Bryan and Josh report on their mission to planet ZDR and their experiences with the series and the genre more broadly in this wide-ranging discussion of Metroid: Dread.Three Word Reviews:Bryan - Subtly-guided tourJosh - A Classic, PolishedShow Notes:Maddy Myers history of metroid

Welcome back to another week of Omega! This week, the fellas are tackling a bunch of different #MetroidMusing questions, including this doozey: 12 years removed from the game launching, is it time to forgive Other M and embrace it's good qualities while leaving behind what it did wrong, or should fans hold the game accountable to make sure a second Other M never happens? Other questions include the possibility of Zero Mission - itself a remake - getting a modern remake one day, our favorite Space Pirate design, how awesome a prequel game starring Raven Beak set before the events of Metroid Dread could be, and so much more!

Ethan and JM- X face our fears and climb our way out of planet ZDR in Metroid Dread, the most recent 2D Metroid developed by Nintendo. We first discuss the complicated development history and the turbulent Metroid fanbase which made this game's development rather unique, before moving into a break down of the game's narrative, its frenetic gameplay, and the hard as nails boss battles. We also take our jab at the big question: is this game the next big step for Metroid? Does it push the franchise forward or merely use the same old tricks? Give a listen to find out!
While the guys are still waiting for an actual Nintendo Direct to be announced, there's still much to talk about in the world of Metroid! On this week's episode, Dak and Doom reminisce on the reveal of Metroid Dread one year ago. They also chat about everyone's favorite Metroid spin-off, Federation Force, and what Sylux really looks like in his brief cameo. Then after a quick chat on the new upcoming Metroidvania title from Squid Shock Studios, Dak and Doom talk about their favorite ideas on how Samus's ship can be implemented in new ways in future 2D and 3D Metroid titles.

This week we go over Nintendo's recently reported sales numbers and ask what everyone wants to know: Is Metroid Dread a big ol' flop? Well… 2.9 million copies sure seems like a success, but in the pantheon of Nintendo Switch tentpole releases, kind of a bummer. Join Kat Bailey, Jada Griffin, Seth Macy and special guest Imran Khan as we talk about all the Nintendos.
We've got a special treat for you this week as Andy's Virtual Theater (the podcast about video game movies and the stories that shape them) co-host Gooey Fame is joining the pod for a retrospective of not only one of the greatest sci-fi movies of all time, but the movie that heavily inspired the Metroid series: Ridley Scott's 1979 masterpiece Alien! We go over some of the elements of the movie that clearly inspired Metroid, talk about the threat of the Xenomorph and how it became such an iconic character, and discuss the movie in general, from its characters, to the setting of the Nostromo, to *that* famous scene. We're all in on Alien, so if you've never seen it or haven't seen it in a while, make sure that you give it a watch sooner rather than later! All this, PLUS, we touch in on the Metroid Dread sales figures and discuss whether 2.9 million is a success or not (spoiler: it is).

On today's IGN The Fix: Games, Elden Ring players have discovered a quick and easy way to defeat Starscourge Radahn, one of the game's toughest bosses. The famed Red Lion seemingly shares the fear of most cats as drawing him towards the water in his boss arena causes Radahn to defeat himself. Nintendo has announced a free update for Metroid Dread and has added Boss Rush and other new modes. Players can take on bosses one after another in Boss Rush and, while missiles will be replenished after each battle, any damage taken will continue into the next fight. Square Enix has filed a trademark for Tactics Ogre: Reborn alluding to rumors a two-decade-old fan-loved series is set to return. Ogre Battle is a classic strategy RPG series with its first game in 1993 with Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen for SNES, with the most recent entry being 2010's PSP Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together. Narz has it all on Today's Daily Fix!
Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we begin a new series on Dark Souls, the 2011 breakout from From Software. We briefly set it in its time before going on to make our characters and discuss the outset of the game. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: A few hours (Brett: 3, Tim: 6) Podcast breakdown: 0:49 Dark Souls 56:52 Break 57:25 Reviews & Feedback Issues covered: an exception, the thing we mention all the time, the look of Western fantasy tropes by Japanese developers, exaggerated architecture and the third person perspective, working on the same style of game for so long, picking female characters, pushing against normal choices, picking classes and not understanding what all the stats mean, cheesing the final boss in Demons's Souls, picking a rogue character, figuring out what the builds are, not being a transparent game, accentuating the moment to moment, punishing gratification, allowing players to customize the experience, the in-game messages that other players can leave, tutorialization messages, beautiful grotesquerie, series that don't maintain consistency, whether you can plunge on the Taurus Demon, a Singing Review, the mudcrab merchant and all the books in Skyrim, lore reasons, a listener makes his own game, lack of accessibility vs usability, vibrancy in a medium, stagnation, "I guess this is my life now, I'm Dracula," rebuilding a temple in Morrowind, being pointed in the direction of everything vs not, being grabbed by the weird friction.
