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! Come hang out with us!

Episode 225 - Zero Mission Definitive Ranking!

Wednesday Jul 17, 2024
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!

Episode 224 - Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Fan Q&A Part 2
Wednesday Jul 10, 2024
Wednesday Jul 10, 2024
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!

Episode 223 - Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Fan Q&A Part 1
Tuesday Jul 02, 2024
Tuesday Jul 02, 2024
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. Don't miss this action packed episode, and be sure to tune into our Q&A Part 2 next week!

Episode 222 - Our Theories On Metroid Prime 4: Beyond's Plot!
Tuesday Jun 25, 2024
Tuesday Jun 25, 2024
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!

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! If this is your first time listening: welcome to the Omega Metroid Podcast!

Episode 220 - Do We See Metroid Prime 4 in the June Nintendo Direct?
Tuesday Jun 11, 2024
Tuesday Jun 11, 2024
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! Don't miss out!

Episode 219 - Samus Returns Q&A!
Tuesday Jun 04, 2024
Tuesday Jun 04, 2024
We're bringing back our Q&A episode, and this time around, we're dedicating the whole show to Metroid: Samus Returns! We're answering your questions, such as: despite it being a great game, is Samus Returns a great remake? Could Aeion abilities have regenerated the same way as in Dread, or would that have made them OP? Is the Surface theme truly an iconic song? Was the inclusion of the Baby Metroid one of the smartest ideas in the series? Is there still a chance Samus Returns could end up on Switch? Do we prefer Fusion difficulty to Dread difficulty?
All this and so much more, PLUS some Godzilla talk and wishing a happy Pride Month to everyone!

Episode 218 - Ridley's Lair (NES): Mapping Metroid
Tuesday May 28, 2024
Tuesday May 28, 2024
Mapping Metroid returns to tackle one of the oldest - and deadliest - areas in the series: Ridley's Lair from NEStroid! We're back almost 40 years to examine the layout of this area, how it serves as a skill-checking gauntlet run for the player, the creepy and unsettling music and how it adds to the atmosphere, if this hideout could have used a few more items and expansions, our favorite rooms ans the trickery involved in them, and of course, the epic(?) showdown with the earliest version of Ridley!
All this, PLUS some ROM-Hack talk, Zero Mission comparisons, a new Doom game rumored, and a debate over the recently released Furiosa! Come and hear out thoughts and let us know what you think of Ridley's Lair!
