We are debuting a NEW SHOW SEGMENT this month called Arsenal Evolution, a show that takes both an in-game and real-world look at the evolution, history, and fanfare of different abilities and power-ups for Samus. We thought it was only appropriate to talk about an ability that has become synonymous with Samus herself, and has appeared in every Metroid game: the Morph Ball! We go game by game, looking at how it was utilized, the different power-ups and upgrades associated with it, the transition from 2D to 3D, and so much more!
This episode has it all, including a run in from the ice cream truck, so morph down and tell us what items you'd like to see on future Arsenal Evolution's!

One of the most intriguing Metroidvania’s in recent years has to be the announcement of Bandai Namco’s Shadow Labyrinth, not only because it looks cool, but because it’s a wildly different take on the standard Pac-Man genre. Yes, that Pac-Man, the one who eats pucks and runs away from ghosts! Reimagined as a gritty Metroidvania, this game sees you control an unnamed Swordsman, traversing a giant maze, and combining with Puck, a floating orb companion, to unleash powerful attacks!
We were excited about the game when it was announced, and our friends at Bandai Namco must have noticed, because they have supplied us with a demo copy of the game that we had Doominal take for a test drive! We're talking about his experiences with the demo, which you can watch in full here, and what worked and didn't!
We're also playing a fun game of Metroid A-Z, inspired by Nintendo's awful Nintendo Today app, so come hang out!

Mapping Metroid is back, and we're going somewhere we've never went before: The Bottle Ship! That's right, after years and years of this podcast, we're finally covering an area from Metroid: Other M, and we're starting off with the sprawling and creepy Sector 1 Biosphere! We cover all the grand rooms in the area, discuss some of the imposing creatures, go over the many boss fights and power-ups, talk about the reveal of the bioweapons conspiracy, lament over the prolonged third-person slow walk session, and of course, give our thoughts on Little Birdie and it's evolution!
All this, PLUS some Donkey Kong Bananza and Breath of the Wild Switch 2 notes! Come and hang out with us!

After a long and turbulent road to get here, Nintendo’s latest console is finally here! We talk about our first impressions for the Nintendo Switch 2, how picking it up went, our thoughts on the screen, how the Joy-Con 2’s feel, express disappointment in the eShop being a disaster still, what we think of Mario Kart World, and some of of the performance boosts from other games, and our thoughts on the next big game to come!
Come and hang out with us and let us know your thoughts for the Nintendo Switch successor so far! Don't forget - Middle-Earth: The Podcast, a new show featuring Andy, Al, and Corey as they talk about the books, movies, games, and everything in-between relating to J.R.R.

With the Switch 2 launching imminently, we decided to pay homage to the Nintendo Switch, one of the great Nintendo consoles of all time, and rank our top ten favorite games! From the obvious picks like Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Smash Ultimate, to titles we advocate for like Pikmin 4, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, and Fire Emblem: Three Houses, to the shining jewel that is Metroid Dread we go over and share our memories of these games and reminisce about the era of the Switch.
All this, PLUS we are THRILLED to announce Middle-Earth: The Podcast, a new show featuring Andy, Al, and Corey as they talk about the books, movies, games, and everything in-between relating to J.R.R. Tolkien’s incredible legendarium! Catch the first episode when it drops later this month on Patreon.com/SPNet!

This week on the pod is something a little different. Andy is out sick and we already released a Patreon episode the previous week, so rather than doing two in a row, Doominal Crossing decided to take the pilot's seat for a special story time session. In this episode, Doom talks about his entire history with the Metroid series, the good, the bad and the ugly. In his journey, he chronicles how he got into series, why it resonates so much with him and how it impacted his life.
All of this as the Nintendo Switch 2 looms ever closer!

Andy and Doom weren't able to get together to produce a new episode, so we put put to a Discord vote and you selected for this week's show a blast from the past! ROM Hack Reviews returns just in time to send off 2022 the right way! This month, two Metroid games are being smashed together to make Super Metroid: Federation Force. Made by Metaquarius, this hack attempts to bring some honor back to the Federation Force branding! Does it succeed? Or is the Galactic brand just cursed to live in infamy? Sign up now to Patreon to see for yourself, and as always, click here to play the hack for yourself!
We'll see you all next week, everyone have a great holiday!

Definitive Ranking returns! This week, we're examining Milton Guasti's Another Metroid II Remake, or AM2R, the fan game so unbelievably good we can rank it on the same level as official Metroid games! We're going through and ranking it by the same standards as we would an official Nintendo-made Metroid game, talking about the boss inclusions, how Metroid fights could have been implemented differently, some of the crazy expansions, and more!
Come play along, and 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 Bluesky!

We're back with another episode of Logbook Archives, our lore-centric series, and this week, we're examining the most important - and mysterious - faction in the Metroid universe: the Galactic Federation! Little is known about this organization, but we go over and cover everything we know, starting with the history and formation, through the Prime Era, Project Golem, the Metroid Crisis, the Bottle Ship Incident, the BSL Incident, and ZDR's E.M.M.I. theft. We examine the tech Sylux stole, the mysterious Ringleader faction, and the Metroid experiments. To end it off, we speculate on what role the Galactic Federation could play in Metroid Prime 4 and Metroid 6!
All this, PLUS some thoughts on Sinners and plugging Omega Metroid’s Metroid Prime Hunters Single-Player and Multiplayer Walkthrough! Come and hang out with us!

After all the chaos of the last few weeks, we thought we'd better open it up to our listeners to see what was on their minds! We asked you for your questions, and you delivered in this weeks Q&A, so buckle in! We're covering topics like: what will Samus's red and black suit functionality be like? Do the chances of seeing Ridley in Beyond seem slim now? Will the Delano 7 show up? What would we do if we were in charge of Metroid Prime 4's marketing? Are the Lamorn and Metroid Prime related? Will Metroid Dread get a Switch 2 upgrade?
All this, PLUS our horror stories trying to pre-order a Switch 2! Come hang out with us!

Andy is out this week on the pod, meaning Dak and Doom are here to take the wheel! Last week, we discussed the Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Nintendo Treehouse demo in great detail to fully analyze its contents. This week, we gathered ALL of the official info on the game we could find; from gameplay to developer quotes, and attempted to use that information to predict where the game's story is heading. What are Sylux's motivations? Do the new "Fusion" Metroids have a relationship to the psychic abilities Samus acquires? Should the Lamorn be trusted? Is there a greater connection to the Metroid Prime Trilogy storyline than we realize? All of this and so much more in this nearly 2 hour discussion!
Plus... A major update on Nintendo Switch 2 North American pre-orders, now confirmed to begin on April 24th! Good luck everyone!

Andy and Doom return after another crazy week of news updates regarding Switch 2 pre-orders, tariffs, and games! We sort through it all and then take a look in depth at the Treehouse footage from last week, talking about the amazing opening cinematic, the text crawl, the standoff between Samus and Sylux, the artifact, and the Golem mechs! We lament over what could have been with Federation Force, speculate about the whereabouts of Samus's ship on Viewros, and analyze some key art to get an idea of what kind of landscape we could be in for!
We're back with story thoughts next week, so make sue you tag us with your best theories and speculation!

What a crazy week it has been. We have no time to waste, so we kick off the show with some talk about our thoughts on the price of the Switch 2, Mario Kart World, and the pre-orders being delayed in North America (Canadian pre-orders had not been delayed at the time of recording). After that, we get down to the fun business and talk to Dak, who got a chance to get some hands on game time in New York at the Nintendo Switch 2 event! Dak gives us his impressions of the Switch 2, mouse controls, Mario Kart World, Drag x Drive, Donkey Kong Bananza, and of course, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond!
This is an episode you won't want to miss, so come and check out our thoughts on the Switch 2!

WOW! Today was the day that Nintendo fans have been waiting for: The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, and boy what a show we got! After months of anticipation since the January 18th reveal of the console and a lower key Switch 1 Direct last week to briefly tide us over, Nintendo finally delivered the megaton of Switch 2 information that we've been craving.
Among the key announcement were the price and release date, Mario Kart World, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, Donkey Kong Bananza, Kirby Air Riders, GameCube games coming to Nintendo Switch Online, loads of killer 3rd party titles, console specs, voice chat and screen sharing, options to upgrade your Switch 1 games - including Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, and FINALLY, the confirmation of METROID PRIME 4: BEYOND – NINTENDO SWITCH 2 EDITION!
It's a Zelda Cast x Omega Metroid crossover, as Andy Spiteri, Doominal Crossing and Alasyn Eletha watch the Direct live and give their full comprehensive thoughts on the presentation.

WHOA! Well, in the span of 24 hours, we had a surprise Nintendo Direct announcement that promised to showcase Switch 1 titles, so of course, we all buckled up for the latest Metroid Prime 4 news, and the Direct delivered! While the overall quality of the Direct itself was debatable at best, the trailer shown for Beyond was awesome, introducing us to the new planet Viewros, new Psychic Abilities for Samus, new alien friends and foes, and a drop-dead gorgeous new suit for the Bounty Hunter. We go over and analyze, speculate, and theorize over the trailer, and as a special treat, we're joined by Dak for the first time in a while!

Inspired By Metroid returns this week, as Andy and Zach get together to talk about a game somewhat light on Metroid references, but one with a deep connection to our community! Acclaimed developer of AM2R Milton Guasti joined Squid Shock Studios to make the wonderful Bō: Path of the Teal Lotus, a Metroidvania that could best be described as Ōkami meets Hollow Knight, and this week, the guys get together and talk about what they like, areas they thought could be improved, the plethora of side quests and collectables, and so much more! If you're a fan of Metroidvania's, you'll want to check this one out!

fter a long layoff, Definitive Ranking returns, and this time we have our work cut out for us! We are tasked with ranking the most un-Metroid Metroid game there is, 2016's multiplayer spinoff Federation Force! We give the game it's due while talking about the deep customization options and solid gameplay and level design, while also unfortunately taking it to task for it's shortcomings in the music, story, and art style department. We're fair but forgiving, so come listen and see what you agree with!
Come play along, and 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 Bluesky!

The gang are finally back for a new episode after the Omega Metroid Marathon (and a few technical difficulties recording yesterday!) and we don't waste any time jumping right back into the thick of things! Mapping Metroid returns to tackle a two in one special area from Metroid Prime 3: The G.F.S. Olympus and planet Norion! We talk the rooms, the expansions, the story and characters, the bombastic opening sequence, which is half Halo, half James Bond, and of course the incredible falling shaft battle with Meta Ridley!
Come and revisit one of the more underappreciated areas from Corruption with us!
