Andy is out this week recovering from a procedure, so while he rests up we're opening the Patreon vault to give everyone a taste of our current ongoing series; Gooey Plays Metroid. Gooey has made guest appearances on the show before, most notably our Alien in Review series. However, fans of the Spiteri podcast universe should instantly recognize him from Virtual Theater, the #1 podcast about videogame movies and the stories that shape them! Gooey Play Metroid follows our companion as he plays through the entirety of a Metroid game, most of them for the very first time! In this pilot episode for the series, Gooey takes on Metroid for the NES and discusses his initial thoughts on the game focusing on Brinstar. If you want to see more episodes, subscribe to our Patreon where we've hit currently reached season 3 as Gooey takes On Super Metroid!
All of this, PLUS some special announcements from Doominal Crossing! You'll have to watch to find out what surprises await!

We've been honoring loads of anniversaries this year at Omega Metroid, but today we're celebrating the big one! Metroid was released on the Famicom Disk System on August 6th, 1986, making tomorrow the 40th anniversary of both the seminal title and the series as a whole. Today, Andy and Doom reminice about the legacy, longevity, and influence of the Metroid series while pontificating how such a niche series remains active decades later. The duo also focuses in on the original Metroid title to give the game its flowers and how it changed the face of gaming as we know it.
All this plus some talk about Spider-Man: Brand New Day, The Odyssey, and a quick roundup of the successful 2026 Zelda Dungeon Marathon!

The AM2R celebration continues for one final week, this time with a bit of a role reversal! Doom takes the command chair as the host, while Andy calls in from Chicago on break from the Zelda Dungeon Marathon. This week, the duo is diving back into AM2R one more time to definitively rank every boss in the game. This exceptionally strong collection of fights is ranked in order from the Ancient Guardian at the very beginning of the game, all the way to the Queen Metroid at the finale. Joining the episode is several cameo appearances from various Zelda Dungeon runners, including our very own Gooey Fame from the hit Patreon series, Gooey Plays Metroid!
Tune in to the 2026 Zelda Dungeon Marathon going through Saturday and help the crew raise money for the Greater Chicago Food Depository!

The gang are back and kicking off a summer of important anniversaries! First up - we honor 10 years of AM2R, the amazing fan-made remake of Metroid 2, developed by Milton Guasti and a handful of other contributors that released August 6, 2016. Andy and Doom share their experiences playing it for the first time, what makes this game so special, the unbelievable level of quality this remake achieves, meeting and discussing AM2R with Milton, and why a project like this could probably never happen again!
All this and more, PLUS as a great companion episode, be sure to check out our exclusive Director's Commentary with Milton Guasti. The AM2R love continues next week, as we take fan questions, so ask anything about AM2R and we will answer!

Surprise! Our regularly scheduled podcast will continue tomorrow, however we had some relevant happenings within the Metroid news cycle last week that we believed deserved it's own focus. In this special bonus episode of the Omega Metroid Podcast, Andy and Doom talk about the latest rumors and potential leak of the next Metroid title. Everything is discussed from the unusual nature of the information, the credibility, what kind of game it could be and when we could see it officially revealed. As a reminder, these are are still unsubstantiated rumors as of the time of this writing, so please take this information with a grain of salt and hype responsibly!
All of this, plus we talk about Sony's disastrous decision to cease physical game production and more Xbox layoffs.
