We've been honoring loads of anniversaries this year at Omega Metroid, but today we're celebrating the big one! Metroid was released on the Famicom Disk System on August 6th, 1986, making tomorrow the 40th anniversary of both the seminal title and the series as a whole. Today, Andy and Doom reminice about the legacy, longevity, and influence of the Metroid series while pontificating how such a niche series remains active decades later. The duo also focuses in on the original Metroid title to give the game its flowers and how it changed the face of gaming as we know it.

Doominal Crossing is back this week for another solo show, this time revisiting a topic from one of the earliest episodes of the podcast: Definitively Ranking Every Power Suit !

What's more, is since the episode dropped, we've had two additional Metroid titles with new suits that need to be ranked! Join Doom on this journey spanning from NEStroid all the way to Metroid Prime 4: Beyond as every single one of Samus Aran's Power Suits gets ranked from best to worst (and yes, there WILL be spicy takes).

Some games are certainly easier to pick from than others, so join us today as we struggle to pick the worst song from our favorite soundtracks and spill some spicy tea on our least favorites.

Remakes, remakes, remakes. You don't really want them, we don't really want them, but hey - where there's smoke, there's fire. The rumors around a Super Metroid remake have been floating around for a while, and while we would all prefer a Metroid 6 next, we talk about what we would want from this remake if it should happen. We discuss this hypothetical remake should use the Dread engine, if 2D-HD would be a good look for the game, what Zero Mission areas and content could be added, even what type of remake this could end up being. All this and more is discussed, so let us know what you think about this hypothetical remake and what you'd want to see! Visit OmegaMetroid.com! Subscribe!

We are back this week to discuss a whole lotta Nintendo news, and to warn everyone: most of it ain’t great. We talk of Metroid Prime 4’s sales performance and how, given that neither the Switch 1 or Switch 2 Editions have cracked a million units sold individually, it may be high time to officially call Beyond a flop… if you hadn’t been calling it that already. Also on the docket: Switch 2 price increases, MercurySteam layoffs, Pick Your Bundle Switch 2 news, Takashi Tezuka’s retirement, and our thoughts on the Star Fox announcement. There’s a whole lot going on, so come and share your thoughts with us as we try and make sense of the news! Visit OmegaMetroid.com! Subscribe!

This is followed up shortly with a discussion on what is arguably the most exciting part of any new Smash bros. entry, the characters!
