| #158 - Direct to Metroid | 21 Sep 2017 | 01:22:42 | |
A bit of a change of pace for this episode. It's not often a great new Metroid game comes out, so we've pulled together three dudes who've played through Samus Returns for review for a full on special spoilercast. Don't worry, we sound the official Spoiler Horn before going into anything you might not want to know before playing. Don't worry, we didn't forget the Nintendo Direct from the other day either, we went through a bunch of the more interesting tidbits of information from that as well before diving into Metroid chat.
