    Episode 214 - Interviewing Grant "Stemage" Henry of Metroid Metal!

    Episode 214 - Interviewing Grant "Stemage" Henry of Metroid Metal!

    We have a very special guest joining us in the virtual studio this week; Grant Henry aka Stemage, the creator of Metroid Metal! Stemage has been composing metal variations of Metroid’s iconic music for over 20 years. While nowadays you’ll mostly find him doing freelance work for several projects such as BIT.TRIP RERUNNER and Hextech Mayhem: A League of Legends Story, Stemage is still touring to this day with the rest of the Metroid Metal band doing live shows! Join our discussion with the man himself as we talk about the origins of Metroid Metal and how it evolved into a full band, what we love so much about the music of the series, our hopes and dreams for Metroid Prime 4 and… Dr. Mario?
    All of that and more can be found in this nearly 2 HOUR conversation! This is one episode you definitely don’t want to miss!

    Episode 213 - We Answer Your Questions In Metroid Q&A!

    Episode 213 - We Answer Your Questions In Metroid Q&A!

    We're kicking it old school this week with a classic Dak & Andy joint, answering all of YOUR fan questions! Some of the topics on tap: If Hunters were to ever to be remade, aside from controls, what improvements could be made? If Dread was priced lower, would it have sold more copies? Would it veer make sense to rebrand the series as the 'Samus Aran' series to get more exposure? How could the Space Jump boots be improved in a Metroid Prime game? Was Nintendo justified in announcing Metroid Prime 4 so early? How has the wait for Prime 4 felt over the past 7 years? Do we like playing the Prime Trilogy on Hard difficulty, and if so, why?
    These are just a handful of the topics on tap for today, so make sure to tune in as we cover a whole wide array of things around the Metroid universe!

    Episode 211 - DOOMtroid: ROM Hack Reviews (PATREON UNLOCK!)

    Episode 211 - DOOMtroid: ROM Hack Reviews (PATREON UNLOCK!)

    We originally had an Inspired By Metroid game on tap for this week, but we ran into some scheduling issues, so instead of rushing it, we're pushing our show back one week and instead unlocking another ROM Hack Review from the vault! One of the most widely fantasized crossovers in the video game world would be the merging of the Metroid and DOOM universes, so this month for ROM Hack Reviews, Andy plays the crossover game DOOMtroid! And of course, we couldn’t talk about Metroid and DOOM without our own Doominal Crossing, so the fellas team up to examine this Metroid: Zero Mission hack from Jefe962. Does this hack rip and slay, or is it better off staying in Hell? Come listen to find out, and as always, try the hack for yourself here!
    To gain access to the rest of the ROM Hack Reviews series, as well as the Great Metroid Area Ranking, the Spiteri Show, and so much more, sign up for the Omega Tier on Omega Metroid’s Patreon page!

    Episode 210 - Norfair: Mapping Metroid

    Our Super Metroid celebration comes to a conclusion this week as we wrap it up in style by bringing back Mapping Metroid! On the docket this month is the fiery, sweltering, and frankly awesome area of Norfair! We go over everything that makes this so special, including the amazing boss fights, the instantly iconic musical tracks, the structure and divide of the less-intense upper Norfair versus the dangerous lower half, and the great expansions and sequence breaks throughout! We also give love to our favorite rooms, standout enemies, and more!
    All this, PLUS we queue up next week's Inspired By Metroid game, so come and hang out with us!

Thanks from an old guy

I’m 48 years old and remember playing Super Metroid when it first came out. Decades later went straight into Metroid Dread, wondering what the hell this parasite X is but loving the game nonetheless. Gone back to Metroid Fusion to fill the gap and now on Metroid Prime Remastered which has blown me away. My obsession has eventually led me to this podcast which, thank you guys is a godsend of information and fun escapism. Keep it up!

Review

This podcast is very nice. I love Metroid and it is really nice being able to listen to other people who like it too. I started listening around the 5 episode and I have loved it ever since. It is generally just a fun podcast, and I hope it keeps being just as good.
