We're back this week to talk - what else? - Metroid Prime 4! As we've done before, we're going over a bunch of things we want to see in the game! Were working off of a wishlist that Doom put together that covers things like: could wall running be neat, or is that hokey? How foes one make a Speed Booster work in 3D? Should the Speed Booster be third person, first person, or a mix of both? Could the Grapple Beam have a Gravity feature added to pull heavier objects? Could an escape sequence in Samus's ship bring some new pep to the proud Metroid tradition? What would different difficulty options consist of? These are just a few of the topics we raise, so buckle in and get ready for a thoughtful show!
All this, plus some games we're playing, and the great soda vs pop debate rages on! Come hang out with us!

Tuesday Jan 30, 2024
Unfortunately, our schedules didn't align this week and we weren't able to get together to record a new episode of the pod, but never fear - we're reaching into the fault to pull out a formerly Patreon-exclusive ROM Hack Review! We’re playing the amazing, puzzling, innovative, and gruelling ROM: Super Metroid Ascent! Made by Benox50, this hack is the biggest, longest, and most intense challenge of any ROM Hack yet! Does it soar above every other game? Or does it crumble under its own ambitions? Come listen to find out! Come and enjoy, and as always, make sure to try this hack for yourself! Plus, if you're looking for some extra Omega content this week, check out 2/3's of the band on GameXplain talking Metroid Prime 4!

On this episode, Dak and Doom talk about the latest Prime 4 rumors and what we could expect to see in the near future. And for our main topic, we dive into making Prime 4 in the modern landscape of games. What can Prime 4 learn from the advancements in gaming and modern games today? And what should it not take from its contemporaries? Tune in to join us for the discussion!

Episode 198 - Metroid Fusion Q&A!
Tuesday Jan 09, 2024
Tuesday Jan 09, 2024
We're back this week, and we put YOU in charge of the show! We asked you for your Metroid Fusion questions, and you delivered big time! We're touching on subjects like; how could the B.S.L. blow up SR388 just by crashing into it? What's our favorite sound effect from the game? How would we want a remake to handle the SA-X? What's our alternate ideas for how Adams AI could have developed consciousness? Could the intro on SR388 become a playable prologue? If we could change one thing about Fusions story, what would it be? How would we have designed the Varia Suit to avoid the puke colors? All this, and so much more!
All this, PLUS we set the stage for next weeks MASSIVE SHOWDOWN between the Zelda Cast and Omega Metroid Podcast’s crews as we celebrate our 300th episode! We have a special Jeopardy game planned, so make sure you come and join us on Twitch to watch!

Tuesday Jan 02, 2024
Tuesday Jan 02, 2024
Welcome to the first episode of the podcast in 2024! This week, Andy and Doom are getting together to review the year that was 2023! We talk about the unbelievable highs of Metroid Prime Remastered, the shadow drop, and Metroid Fusion and Return of Samus hitting NSO, while also touching on some of the lows of the year, including the ever-looming shadow of the Switch 2, Metroid Prime 4, and Echoes and Corruption. We also predict what we'll see from the series in 2024, including whether or not you'll have played Prime 4 by this time next year! We also touch on some of our favorite games, shows, movies, and music of the year!
NEXT WEEK, we're doing a Metroid Fusion specific Q&A show, so make sure to get your Fusion questions in on Discord!

Episode 196 - Reminiscing About Our Favorite Metroid E3 Moments
Tuesday Dec 19, 2023
Tuesday Dec 19, 2023
It's a bittersweet week for us here at Omega Metroid, as the long suspected but recently confirmed demise of E3 was made official. Instead of being sad that E3 is over, however, the fellas decide to be glad that it happened and take a two hour trip down memory lane reminiscing about Metroid's finest moments at the gaming showcase. From the highest of high's - Ridley debuting in Smash Bros., Reggie's introduction of the DS and Metroid Prime Hunters, Metroid Prime 4's reveal, and the resurrection of Metroid Dread - to the lowest of lows - Federation Force's disastrous reveal, Samus Returns skipping the main show, multiple years of no Metroid to begin E3's life - we glance over it all. Come pour one out with us for E3, and check out Doom's E3 notes here (complete with links to all trailers and reveals!).
All this, plus some other memories of Zelda, Halo, the Revolution, and more! Also, an important notice - WE'RE TAKING NEXT WEEK OFF FOR CHRISTMAS, SO THERE WON'T BE A NEW SHOW! From all of us at Omega Metroid, have a happy holidays and a safe new years!

Welcome back to the show! This week, we have a whole slew of different topics, including our thoughts on the rumors that Metroid Prime 4 is "basically finished" and that the only thing holding it back from being released is improvements to the games cutscenes. We also weigh in and offer our opinions on the game being supposedly developed for the base Switch and not the Switch 2. After that, we talk The Game Awards and recap our biggest highlights and announcements and what we're looking forward to, and then finish the show off by answering a few fan questions!
We're having a light and breezy episode, so come and hang out with us!

Episode 194 - Area 7 (Chozo Laboratory): Mapping Metroid!
Wednesday Dec 06, 2023
Wednesday Dec 06, 2023
Mapping Metroid is back for another kick at the can, and this time we're going where we've never gone before: Metroid: Samus Returns! We're examining the fan favorite Area 7, aka the Chozo Laboratory, and breaking it down in great detail! We touch on the size of the area and its lack of items or boss fights, break down the three different Omega Metroid fights and what makes them so incredible, discuss the lore of this area as the birthplace of the Metroid species, analyze some of the crazy Spiderspark puzzles, gush about the amazing piece of music that helps this area stick out, and offer our opinions on the areas of Samus Returns as a whole and how the whole is greater than the sum of the parts!
All this, PLUS some quick hits at the beginning, Game Awards talk, and so much more! Come hang out with us!

Episode 193 - Haiku, The Robot: Inspired By Metroid
Wednesday Nov 29, 2023
Wednesday Nov 29, 2023
Inspired By Metroid returns, this time, to a post apocalyptic world where humanity is no more and only robots remain! We're playing Haiku, The Robot, a Game-Boy-Color-influenced Metroidvania from developer Mister Morris games and giving our thoughts on the games world, story, boss fights, and so much more! Playing as the cute robot Haiku, you could be the answer to a mysterious virus that's plagued the planet for years. Does Haiku, The Robot rise above and carve out a place for itself among the best Metroidvania's available on the Switch, or does the games virus prove to be its undoing? Come hang out with us to find out!
All this, PLUS some Twilight talk and getting ready for next week's Mapping Metroid when we finally journey to Samus Returns' SR388!
PLEASE NOTE - We had an audio snafu in this episode with Andy's mic settings, so unfortunately his voice sounds a bit robotic (fitting!), so our sincerest apologies for this! The issue has been fixed, so if you can put up it for this week, we'd really appreciate it!
