Metroid Fusion month continues, as this week the boys are joined by Joey Ferris of GameXplain to discuss what they want in a hypothetical Metroid Fusion remake? Is to time to bring back voice acting? Would the Sectors being more interconnected lead to more exploration? How cool would playing as Samus on SR388 during the prologue be? And what's Andy's big idea on how to revamp encounters withe the SA-X that takes inspiration from the E.M.M.I.'s? There's so much to talk about beyond standard quality-of-life updates, so come listen to our pitches.
All this, PLUS we recap the Game Awards, talk about what we like, what we didn't, and that bizarre ending! Come hang with us!

From one 20 year anniversary to another, it's time to honor Metroid Fusion! In the first of three back to back episodes, Andy and Doom reminisce about Samus's first GBA adventure and recall their initial memories of the game, if releasing the same day as Metroid Prime helped or hurt it, how our opinions on the title have changed over the years, and what areas Metroid Fusion excels in that no other Metroid game can touch!
Come relive the terror, the atmosphere, and the impact of Metroid Fusion with us!

Our Metroid Prime celebration comes to a close in style this week, as Andy and Doom talk all things BOSSES in Metroid Prime! We're ranking every boss fight (and sub-boss fight too!) in the game, talking about what works to make these fights seem larger than life, which bosses could've used some extra spice, what battle soundtracks slap the hardest, and which celebrated boss neither of us really care for.
Come hang out, and get ready to celebrate Metroid Fusion over the month of December!

Definitive Ranking makes its triumphant return to evaluate arguably the greatest Metroid game of all time - Metroid Prime! Andy and Doom dive deep into all ten categories, and no surprise, Metroid Prime scores high on almost everything!
Come play along, and as always, here’s the criteria for the Definitive Rankings:
- World / Atmosphere (the vibe, the setting, the mood)
- Art Style (design of Samus, the enemies, the graphics in general)
- Story (what works, what doesn’t)
- Pacing / Progression (are there any parts that really bog the player down, or is it still fun getting lost?)
- Gameplay / “Gimmick” (what new or different gameplay aspects we like)
- Items / Abilities (how are the powerups and are they cool and practical)
- Areas (how does each individual area look, feel, play, etc.)
- Enemies / Bosses (are they fun, creative, etc.)
- Expansions / Powerups (are the expansions hidden throughout the world fun, creative, and enjoyable to collect?)
- Music (are we humming along?)
Of course, all of these are subjective, and we’re putting our critics hats on, but we want to hear what you have to say on Twitter!

Come and celebrate the legendary Metroid Prime with us over the next couple weeks as we honor the game on its 20th birthday. This week, Dak and Doom reminisce about their memories of Samus first 3D adventure, how the game impacted them as Metroid fans, how Prime reshaped the series and changed its identity, Retro Studios and their reputation before and after release, and the legacy that Metroid Prime leaves behind.
We're talking all things Metroid Prime, and we couldn't be more excited to show our love and appreciation to one of the best games of all time!

Inspired By Metroid makes its triumphant return, this time focusing on Islets, a surprisingly wholesome Metroidvania. Andy is joined by Omega Metroid Reporter Daniel Hoctor to examine the story of a little mouse named Iko as he tried to reunite the five seperate pieces of his home island and restore his world! Does Islets rise to the occasion, or is this a Metroidvania that Metroid fans should let sink to the depths? Come find out!
Islets is available on all major platforms, and special shout out to our other Omega Metroid Reporter GameWyrm for suggesting this title!

Alien In Review returns to tackle the third installment of the series that inspired Metroid: the much maligned Alien³. Directed by David Fincher, Alien³ places Ripley against a single Xenomorph on the abandoned prison on planet Fiorina. Andy and Gooey Fame go over the troubled development of the film, what we thought of the movies big twist at the beginning, how the reveal at the ending was handled, the differences between the much-better Assembly Cut (or extended cut, which they watched) versus the theatrical release, and how Alien³ wanders back into horror-movie territory, but phycological horror!
Buckle in for a long one, cause there is ton to talk about! Alien In Review will return in 2023 to continue the saga! In the meantime, if you like Andy and Goo talking movies, check out their other podcast Virtual Theater, a podcast about video game movies and the stories that shape them!

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.
We're diving deep, so come hang out with us and share your favorite memories of Metroid Dread!
