The big news this week in the world of video games was the Nintendo Direct that aired last Thursday, so this week, Andy and Doom are breaking down everything announced and talking about what they liked or didn't like! Come hear our thoughts on Splatoon 3, Nintendo 64 games coming to NSO, Andy ranting and raving about Kirby, Bayonetta 3, and that fever dream Mario movie casting.
All this, PLUS, this week, a Nintendo insider with a good track record of predicting games hinted that a full remake of JUST Metroid Prime 1 might be in the works. Andy and Doom have differing opinions on whether this is a good thing, or a little disappointing.

The whole gang is here as Andy, Dak, and Doom get together to look back, as well as look forward, on multiplayer in the Metroid series. What were some of the things we loved? What was responsible for some multiplayer experiences not being as good as they could have been? What kind of multiplayer games and campaigns would we like to see in the future? Could Metroid Dread have multiplayer added to it?
All this, and so much more including a a debate on the Nintendo DS, Mario Pictocross, and Nintendogs? What?? Come hang out with us!

This week, we're discussing a bunch of talking points that former lead designer of Retro Studios Mike Wikan shared with Kiwi Talkz. We can't recommend listening to the full interview enough (check it out here!), but we're here to give our thoughts on a couple topics they discussed, including the secret language of the Luminoth, the difficulty of the Boost Ball Guardian, the engine used to power Metroid Prime, the development and addition of multiplayer in Echoes, the inspiration behind the Ridley fight at the beginning of Corruption, and how realistic it would be to see Trilogy on the Switch.
All this, plus some talk about SSBU's Spirits, Nintendo adding Bluetooth to the Switch, and pondering if story sells video games. Come hang out with us, and make sure to sub to Kiwi Talkz on Youtube!

After a 6 week hiatus, Andy and Dak are finally back together again and bringing the heat as they break down frame by frame the latest Metroid Dread trailer! We give our thoughts and theories over everything show, and break down what we consider spoilers and what we don't. Though we both agree that there isn't much in the way of story spoilers, be warned: THIS EPISODE HAS FULL SPOILERS FOR EVERYTHING SHOWN IN THE TRAILER.
All this, plus we take a quick wrestling detour to talk about AEW's All Out show and Destiny 2. Come hang with us!

Our awesome listeners sent us some Metroid questions, so the least we could do is supply them with Metroid answers! That's right, it's time for another Q&A episode. We jump into all sorts of topics: should Metroid Dread have come out on the DS? Have the Chozo lost some of their mystique? And what does a Metroid taste like?! Tune in to hear our answers to these questions and more.
And don't forget, next week we'll be covering the latest, spoiler-heavy Metroid Dread trailer!

This week on the show, Dak and Doominal return to talk Metroid music! We discuss the soundtrack of every Metroid game released so far, and at the end of the episode, we rank them all. Tune in to hear our thoughts and how our rankings stack up against one another. We have some takes that might be too hot to handle, and we debate what we think are the best OSTs of them all!

Dak is back, while Andy is off getting hitched (congratulations Andy and Sam!), as the show must go on. Doominal returns to join Dak for an in-depth reflection of the "Golden Age" of Metroid. We look back and reminisce on arguably the best time to be a Metroid fan. With so many great Metroid games released in such a short period of time, it's hard not to have fond feelings of that era. Join us as we remember some of our favorite moments from the Golden Age of Metroid, and what defines that era to begin with.
We also cover some Metroid current events, including: the recent Metroid Dread pre-order buzz; a new Metroid LEGO concept; and our (very) first impressions on Axiom Verge 2! Don't miss out on one of our longest episodes yet!

After a long hiatus, Inspired By Metroid returns, and in a somewhat serendipitous turn of events, we examine a game modeled after the great 3D Metroids that' from the series that helped inspire Metroid! That's right, its finally time to talk Alien! Andy is joined by Zelda Dungeon and Boss Rush Network's David Lasby - himself a lifelong Alien fan - to talk about the terrifying atmosphere of Isolation, the incredible AI powering the Xenomorph, the fearsome Worker Joe's, the amazing aesthetic, the gameplay, the map, the length, and so much more!
How close in concept will the E.M.M.I's of Metroid Dread function to the Alien? What would a Fusion remake with a Xeno-like SA-X stalking you be like? How does Amanda Ripley stack up to her iconic mother, Ellen? And how similar are Weyland-Yutani and the Galactic Federation? Come hang out with us and find out!

We've brought over a fan favorite game from the Zelda podcast and sister show, The Champions' Cast, to play this week, but of course, with a Metroid twist! Introducing Guess That Metroid Character in 16 Questions, the game where you get 16 yes or no questions in an effort to nail down which character (NPC's, bosses, and anyone with a name was eligible) your opponent has picked! Andy and Doom go head to head, trying to stump one another with their picks. Can you guess that Metroid character before we do? Come play along!

The boys are back with the latest entry in the Definitive Ranking series, going all the way back to 1991 to talk about Metroid II: Return of Samus? How does the original Game Boy classic hold up? Should Metroid fans bother with this title or just head straight to the remakes? And might this be the best example of a game making chicken salad out of chicken you-know-what? Come find out with us!
Just as a refresher, the categories we're ranking each game in are:
- 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!
