| Episode 233 - Logbook Archives: The Complete History of Samus's Gunship | 11 Sep 2024 | 01:34:48 | |
Logbook Archives returns this week to give a complete history and detailing of all of the various Gunships (or Starships, as they are also known) that Samus has piloted over the course of the franchise! We examine the history of the main ships - Super Metroid's, Zero Mission's, Fusion's, Prime 1 and Prime 3's - and talk about our favorite design aspects, who built them, what functions the are implied to have, and what our favorite and least favorite version of the ship is. We're also examining the spinoff appearances the ship has made, like in Super Smash Bros, Metroid Blast, Rocket League, and... Virtual Boy Galactic Pinball?? If you love the Gunship as much as we do, you won't want to miss this! All this, PLUS some thoughts on the PS5 Pro and Samus's Gunship showing up in the next Mario Kart game! Come hang out with us!

| Episode 232 - Does Metroid Need To Be Less Metroidvania To Succeed? | 04 Sep 2024 | 01:01:51 | |
This week on the show, Dak and Doom pose a question - does Metroid need to be less like Metroid to succeed? Are the Metroidvania aspects of the series holding it back from growing as a franchise? Recently in our Discord server, one of our community members posted a video talking about this very topic, which we thought would make for a good discussion! Dak and Doom dive into this topic to give their takes. PLUS we answer a few more questions from our Q&A channel (also in our Discord server!). And we wrap things up by talking about what the "best feeling" in a Metroid game is. Is there anything better than getting an Energy Tank when you're at low health? We let you know!

| Episode 223 - Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Fan Q&A Part 1 | 02 Jul 2024 | 01:36:25 | |
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 133 - Reviewing the ROM Hack ’Super Duper Metroid’! | 04 Oct 2022 | 00:57:34 | |
Our recording schedules didn't quite line up this week, so instead of a new episode of the podcast, we're releasing a old episode that will be new to almost everyone! We've unlocked the previously Patreon exclusive series ROM Hack Reviews to go over the Super Metroid hack Super Duper Metroid! Super Duper Metroid, an incredible ROM Hack from Metaquarius and Daltone that reimagines Super Metroid with an emphasis on exploration and skill. Andy played the hack and has a ton of thoughts on the bosses, different map layout, improvements in items and displays, progression, and so much more! If you’ve never heard of Super Duper Metroid, check out the trailer here! To gain access to ROM Hack Reviews and the video playthrough of Super Duper Metroid, as well as the Spiteri Show and special Discord roles, sign up for the Omega Tier on Omega Metroid’s Patreon page!

| Episode 132 - Frigate Orpheon: Mapping Metroid | 27 Sep 2022 | 01:26:56 | |
Mapping Metroid returns, offering up a companion episode to our Tallon Overworld deep dive. This time, we're mapping two areas in one: the Frigate Orpheon! Come listen to us dissect the ship as it flies in space, talking about that Parasite Queen fight, the lore of the ship and what the Space Pirates are using it for, and how it serves as a perfect tutorial for players controlling Samus in 3D for the first time. AND THEN, we break down the Crashed Frigate, and how this dual purpose area offers an incredible platforming challenge, how this area was an example of the planet of Tallon IV fighting back, and that absolutely serene theme that plays while you're traversing underwater. Come listen to the most in-depth deep dive into the Space Pirate Frigate Orpheon that's ever been done!

Would they rather take the slide or flash shift for the next 2D Metroid? Would they rather Samus have voice acting or not speak at all? And would they rather take on 1 Quadraxis sized Zoomer or 50 Zoomer sized Quadraxises? It's time to find out!

This week, we're answering your fan questions and touching on a top of different topics, including: what do we think a realistic timeline to release Metroid Prime 4, Trilogy and/or Prime HD is?

Should future Metroid Prime games take place after Dread in the timeline? What Metroid game other than Super or Fusion needs a remake most? What's up with this September Nintendo Direct?

Summer's almost over Metroid fans, but not to worry because we've got just the remedy - a good ol' fashioned ranking episode! This week, Andy and Doom are judging every Metroid titles final area and ranking them from best to worst! What even constitutes a final area? What criteria do we use to grade them?

| Episode 124 - Metroid Prime Pinball Retrospective! | 02 Aug 2022 | 01:14:54 | |
After two and a half years, the game EVERYONE has been dying to talk about finally has it's time in the sun on the Omega Metroid Podcast! No, it's not Metroid Prime 4 - it's Metroid Prime Pinball! We go as in depth as anyone has ever went into this game, breaking down each table, mini game, boss encounter, Artifact collectable, and even throw out a few of our high scores! We also go over why the games sales didn't live up to it's expectations, what would be the perfect scenario needed to ever see Pinball again, and praise the developer Fuse Games for making this feel like a Metroid game that was Pinball versus a Pinball game with Metroid stuff slapped on it. If you haven't played Metroid Prime Pinball in a while, or maybe ever, we encourage you guys to give it a go! You can even let us know your high scores! Until next week, when Mapping Metroid returns!

| Episode 222 - Our Theories On Metroid Prime 4: Beyond's Plot! | 25 Jun 2024 | 01:19:43 | |
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!

| Episode 122 - Reviewing ”Mr. and Mrs. Mother Brain” from Captain N: The Game Master! | 19 Jul 2022 | 00:30:23 | |
LANGUAGE IN THIS EPISODE IS NSFW! DO NOT LISTEN OUT LOUD OR AROUND YOUNGER LISTENERS! What’s up Omega Metroid fans! This week, we’ve got something waaay different than usual – in fact, it’s not even a proper episode of the Omega Metroid Podcast! Andy is away for the Zelda Dungeon Marathon, Dak is out of town casting, and Doom is tied up this week as well, so instead of leaving you guys empty handed, we figured we’d treat you to a previously PATREON LOCKED bonus episode of Andy’s video game movie podcast, Virtual Theater. The bonus episode is all about Captain N and the Game Master, the crazy 80’s Nintendo cartoon where Kevin, aka Captain N, and his dog Duke are sucked into Video Game Land, where they do battle with the evil Mother Brain on the planet Metroid. This series is crazy, the depiction of Mother Brain is wild, and we had a whole lot of fun covering this specific episode, “Mr. and Mrs. Mother Brain”, where, you guessed it, Mother Brain gets married! Enjoy something a little different and if you liked this episode, consider supporting Virtual Theater on Patreon! If you didn't know, Virtual Theater is a podcast about video game movies and the stories that shape them, so go and check out our reviews on some of the most notorious video game movies ever made!

| Episode 121 - Is It Time to Forgive Other M? | 12 Jul 2022 | 01:08:55 | |
Welcome back to another week of Omega! This week, the fellas are tackling a bunch of different #MetroidMusing questions, including this doozey: 12 years removed from the game launching, is it time to forgive Other M and embrace it's good qualities while leaving behind what it did wrong, or should fans hold the game accountable to make sure a second Other M never happens? Other questions include the possibility of Zero Mission - itself a remake - getting a modern remake one day, our favorite Space Pirate design, how awesome a prequel game starring Raven Beak set before the events of Metroid Dread could be, and so much more! All this, PLUS some Zelda Dungeon Marathon talk, Metroid Prime 4 discussion, and how no Nintendo Direct this summer almost assuredly means no Metroid Prime HD this year. Come hang out!

| Episode 117 - A Zelda Fan Plays Super Metroid for the First Time: Thoughts and Reactions! | 14 Jun 2022 | 01:25:18 | |
Like many of you, we assumed that there would be a “don’t-call-it-E3” Nintendo Direct this week, and so we waited and waited and waited until by the time it was clear there wasn’t going to be one, we didn’t have time to record! Fret not though – we have a special episode lined up for you! Please enjoy an episode of The Zelda Cast (FKA The Champions’ Cast) that was recorded shortly after Metroid Dread was released! Andy’s co-host Alasyn had just played Super Metroid, her first Metroid game, and shared her thoughts and impressions, as well as examining the history between Metroid and Zelda!

| Episode 116 - Metroid Prime 4 Finally Shows Up and More Nintendo Direct Predictions! | 07 Jun 2022 | 01:12:58 | |
Although as of yet still unannounced, a Nintendo Direct is looming, and a big one at that, as the Direct that would normally air during E3 (if E3 were still happening, that is) is always a big one, and we're a week away from that time! This week, Andy and Doom are having a back and forth competition to see who can more picks right, but BOTH agree that it's finally time for Metroid Prime 4 to make an appearance. But what about the long rumored Metroid Prime HD? What about the rest of the Trilogy? Will Metroid Dread get any more updates? In non-Metroid picks, do we finally get the curtain pulled back on Breath of the Wild 2? What kind of showing will Mario Kart have? And the fellas BOTH think that it's time for Donkey Kong to make a return, but disagree about what direction it will take! All these predictions, PLUS guesses on Xenoblade, Bayonetta, Hollow Knight, Kirby, and more! Come tell us what you think of our picks and let us know what you're looking forward too most!

| Episode 115 - Definitively Ranking Metroid: Samus Returns | 31 May 2022 | 01:22:42 | |
Definitive Ranking is back for a brand new installment focused on Samus’s first new (at the time) 2D Metroid game in over a decade, the apply named Metroid: Samus Returns! We’re breaking it down, discussing the categories and topics such as: did the gameplay innovations made in Samus Returns land, or were they a little undercooked? Although the music was decent, you barely hear the best tracks, so can we rate music highly? Does the focus on combat take away from the atmosphere intended by the original Metroid II game? What’s up with that brown/yellow filter the whole game has? All this and so much more discussed as we break down Samus’s 3DS adventure in one of our longest shows yet. Come play along, and as always, here’s the criteria for the Definitive Rankings:
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!

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!

| Episode 113 - Recreating Metroid: Other M’s Story (While Using the Same Basic Premise) | 16 May 2022 | 01:11:35 | |
Yes, we're talking about Metroid: Other M again, the most controversial Metroid game that Metroid fans can't seem to be able to forgive or forget. But this week, Andy is arguing that the basic premise of the game ("Samus, emotionally reeling following the events of Zebes, answers a distress call on a mysterious GF ship where she meets her old commanding officer and learns of a sinister conspiracy involving GF-made biological weapons, all while dealing with a traitor amongst the ranks trying to keep the conspiracy a secret.") isn't all that bad, and with a few tweaks and character changes, it could be really good! Andy is trying to sell our pal KiwiTalkz on his new version of the story with a different payoff for the Deleter, a retooled MD and Madeline Bergman, a more Alien-esq approach to Little Birdie and Ridley, and a complete change in the way that Samus and Adam interact! All this, PLUS we touch on the recent comments from former Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aimé about Metroid: Other M missing the mark.

| Episode 112 - Alien Retrospective: The Movie That Inspired Metroid! | 11 May 2022 | 01:06:54 | |
We've got a special treat for you this week as Andy's Virtual Theater (the podcast about video game movies and the stories that shape them) co-host Gooey Fame is joining the pod for a retrospective of not only one of the greatest sci-fi movies of all time, but the movie that heavily inspired the Metroid series: Ridley Scott's 1979 masterpiece Alien! We go over some of the elements of the movie that clearly inspired Metroid, talk about the threat of the Xenomorph and how it became such an iconic character, and discuss the movie in general, from its characters, to the setting of the Nostromo, to *that* famous scene. We're all in on Alien, so if you've never seen it or haven't seen it in a while, make sure that you give it a watch sooner rather than later! All this, PLUS, we touch in on the Metroid Dread sales figures and discuss whether 2.9 million is a success or not (spoiler: it is). Come hang with us, and if you liked our movie chat, make sure you check out Virtual Theater!

| Episode 111 - Samus’s Percentages: How Likely to Be True are These Statements? | 03 May 2022 | 01:09:23 | |
Welcome to a new segment on the show we like to call Samus's Percentages! The premise is simple: we read a statement out loud and then assign a percentage on how true or likely we believe the statement to be. On today's debut episode, we have a whole bunch of doozeys, including: will Metroid Prime 4 sell over 10 million copies? Will Nintendo give the developing reigns of Metroid to another studio? Will Samus be a playable character in the next Mario Kart? Will Sylux survive the events of Metroid Prime 4? Is Mercury Steam working on a Metroid Fusion remake as we speak? All this, and a ton more! Come weigh in with your percentages over in Discord, and feel free to suggest some Percentages for the next time we run this segment!

| Episode 110 - Answering Your Metroid ”Would You Rather” Questions! | 26 Apr 2022 | 01:24:55 | |
This week, we're answering YOUR fan questions in a "would you rather" format, and we have some absolute doozeys on hand! Would we rather every game play like Federation Force or have dialog like Other M? Would we rather a new Hunters style stand alone game or just have multiplayer included in Prime 4? Would we rather a remake of Metroid Fusion, Zero Mission, or Super? Would we rather Samus always adventure alone or introduce a new companion to the series? All this and so much more are on the table, and we've got an All Star lineup of guests to help answer! Zelda Dungeon's top speed runner Kathrine Endicott joins the fray, as well as the legendary Kiwi Talkz, who makes his long awaited Omega Metroid debut! Come and let us know what YOU would rather when it comes to some of these questions!

| Episode 109 - Should Metroid 6 Feature a New Playable Character and Samus as an Antagonist? | 19 Apr 2022 | 01:09:29 | |
Andy and Dak are finally reunited and have a whole smorgasbord of Metroid topics to dive into! We go over the recent DYK Gaming video highlighting the development of Metroid Prime, talk about the reported leaks showing Nintendo using Game Boy Advance emulators and what it could mean for NSO, discuss the new Retro Studios job posting for a writer for Metroid Prime 4, and finally go over an editorial Andy penned about how Metroid 6 could take a page out of Metal Gear Solid’s book and introduce a new playable character and feature Samus in an antagonistic role! There are some definite differing opinions on what direction the sequel could take, so make sure that you tune in to weigh in! Also, DON’T FORGET – next week, we’re taking fan “would you rather” questions! Head to this tweet and reply to have your question answered!

| Episode 108 – Discussing Metroid Dread’s New Boss Rush Mode! | 12 Apr 2022 | 01:07:43 | |
We’re back and talking all things Bosses in this special Boss Rush edition of the podcast. Dak and Doom talk about the new feature in Metroid Dread and if they enjoyed running through the gauntlet of bosses or not, and then discuss which bosses from previous Metroid games would have rounded up the Dread roster, including, of course, Ridley. That’s not all, as we’re taking fan questions at the end like which 3D boss would work well in a 2D setting and the sweet spot when it comes to amount of bosses in a Metroid game. Come and hang with us, and let us know your best scores in Boss Rush Mode!

| Episode 107 - Ranking Every Metroid-Themed Stage in Smash Bros.! | 05 Apr 2022 | 01:04:56 | |
The whole crew are back together this week to talk about two of the things they love most - Metroid and Super Smash Bros.! We go around the table and definitively rank each Metroid-themed stage in Smash, discussing things like the differences between Planet Zebes and Brinstar, if you can have a great Smash match on Brinstar Depths, why Norfair was such an uninspired choice, how we only got one Metroid Prime stage, and if the Ridley boss experiment in Pyrosphere paid off or not. PLUS, we each pitch a stage that would have been a great addition at the time to Smash. Come hang out with us, let us know what YOUR favorite Smash stage is, and tell us which stage you would have put in if given the chance!

| Episode 106 - Honoring 25 Years of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night | 28 Mar 2022 | 01:16:56 | |
This week marks 25 years since the release of not only one of the greatest games of all time, but a game that helped shape and define an entire genre - Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. This week, Andy is joined by his Virtual Theater podcast co-host Gooey Fame to talk about the many triumphs and innovations of Symphony of the Night. Everything, from the incredibly diverse selection of music, to the incredible pixels and art style, to the diverse areas of the castle, to the way the almost every enemy is rooted in some kind of folklore or legend, is up for discussion, and of course, we talk about how Symphony of the Night introduced the "Vania" part of Metroidvania by including more RPG elements, stats, weapons, and improvements on Super Metroid's map and item exploration. We talk and reminisce for a while about one of the greatest games of all time, so if you've never played (or haven't played in a while!) Symphony of the Night, do yourself a favor and fire it up, since this timeless adventure is still as good today as it was 25 years ago. Make sure to check out Gooey Fame and the Virtual Theater podcast on Twitter!

| Episode 105 - NEStroid and Other Stream Highlights | 23 Mar 2022 | 02:03:28 | |
With the Omega Team busy this weekend raising money for The Trevor Project by streaming a couple Metroid games, there was no time to record a new episode, but not to worry- we streamed for 12 hours and there was a lot of great Metroid content available, so instead of skipping a week, we're uploading Andy's NEStroid Stream, complete with commentary about the game, Zelda chatter, and other shenanigans. Listen here or watch the full video on YouTube!

| Episode 104 - Definitively Ranking Metroid (NES) | 15 Mar 2022 | 01:08:45 | |
Definitive Ranking returns after almost a six-month hiatus to examine the granddaddy of them all: Metroid! We take a look at the original game and try to balance how it holds up today with how it innovated video games 35 years ago and have some fun discussion about the assortment of incredible enemies, the wet-noodle boss fights, the awesome music, the oppressing atmosphere, and the frustrating lack of an in game map. Come listen and play along! 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!

| Episode 220 - Do We See Metroid Prime 4 in the June Nintendo Direct? | 11 Jun 2024 | 01:13:38 | |
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 103 – Building Our All-Star Metroid Game! | 08 Mar 2022 | 01:23:00 | |
This week, we’re taking a little inspiration from the sporting world and assembling an all-star team of different Metroid parts in order to build the ultimate Metroid game! We break down our picks for the greatest themed areas and enemies in Metroid, which is tough because, while some are easy (I’m sure we all know what our pick for favorite Ice themed area is), others are way harder (so many good Fire themed areas to choose from!). We go back and forth, picking a water areas, Ridley fights, escape sequences, scary areas, Metroid types and more! Come play along with us! All this, PLUS some Batman talk and a reflection of the crazy week that was as OmegaMetroid.com officially launched! Come hang out, and consider supporting us on Patreon if you can!

Ahead of a major OMEGA METROID DIRECT dropping on March 3rd, the boys are back together discussing two of their favorite things: Metroid and Smash Bros.! We sit down to discuss how the release of Metroid Dread could influence the next Smash Bros. game. We go over what Raven Beak could look like as a playable character, how the E.M.M.I. Zone could be the greatest Metroid stage yet, what kind of Assist Trophy the X parasite might be, if the quiet stillness of the E.M.M.I. Zone music would work, and so much more!
All this, plus some travel talk and more details on the Omega Metroid Direct! Make sure you check it out March 3rd, available in podcast and video form!

Another week, another show discussing Metroid Dread. This time, however, we're putting our critics hat on and discussing some of the things that, while they don't actively take away from the game by not being included, would have made Metroid Dread even more awesome!

| Episode 95 - What If Metroid Dread Was a Nintendo DS Game As Originally Planned? | 11 Jan 2022 | 01:16:39 | |
Welcome back to the show! Get ready for a fun thought experiment this week: what if Metroid Dread had released on the DS as planned back in the late 2000's? What kind of sacrifices would have had to have been made? Would EMMI's still be as intense? Would their routes have to be scripted? Could all the items and abilities have worked? What would the second screen have been? Would there have been touch controls? Would the game have sold well? Would we still have gotten Other M? So many questions and branching timelines to discuss here, so come and fall down the rabbit hole with us! Shoutout to the amazing Rachel Ham for her "de-make" Metroid Dread art!

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!
