  • Best Metroid podcast

    It is an absolute amazing podcast with a great structure (intro about the hosts and random related stuff then into the main topic for the most of the time and has a small outro) the hosts make it easy to understand and relate to. This podcast helped showed me the wonderful community. BEST PODCAST EVER

  • Longtime listener

    genuinely love what you guys do. This show has been a companion through some ups & downs, and helped me appreciate games I already love even more. I’m writing because I’ve found the discussion around some newer games increasingly glass-half-empty, and it's made something I used to come to for enjoyment a little exhausting.

    Your opinions as host are completely valid & fandoms are fickle, but as an audience we all come to these games differently. Sometimes nostalgia makes the past look better, and... more

  • More Metroid less virtue signaling

    I find that the hosts of the podcast are passionate about the Metroid franchise and this is great.

    Where the aspect of being too chronically online comes is when the hosts talk about subjects regarding Metroid that have nothing to do with Metroid. Even if I agree with many of their beliefs and values, I think that this virtue signaling has no place in a podcast like that.

  • Why I don’t follow anymore

    I stopped listening as soon as they started with the political commentary. No thanks, I just want to relax and hear a discussion about Metroid. The hosts simply couldn’t help themselves. Too bad.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 342 – Gooey Plays Super Metroid (PATREON UNLOCK)
Q: Did you feel more of an attachment, in a story sense, to the baby Metroid, considering what you had just gone through in Metroid 2?
Gooey says the continuity between the games makes the world feel connected, and that carrying the baby Metroid from the end of Metroid II into Super Metroid's opening gives the story moment added significance.
Episode 342 – Gooey Plays Super Metroid (PATREON UNLOCK)
Q: Would you be excited for a more modernized version of Super Metroid?
Gooey would probably try a remake, especially if it followed the approach of other Metroid remakes, but he does not feel he needs one. He would like the option of modern controls while retaining the original style.
Episode 340 – Metroid Ravenous Fan Q&A – Part 2
Q: Do you think Samus will talk multiple times in Ravenous, or could the initial reveal trailer be the extent of her dialogue?
The hosts expect Samus to have more dialogue than in Dread, possibly across multiple scenes and cutscenes, with additional voice moments likely during key story beats rather than being heavy throughout the entire game.
Episode 340 – Metroid Ravenous Fan Q&A – Part 2
Q: Will we see any recurring bosses in Ravenous like Crayde or Ridley, and could Samus encounter them more than once?
There's a clear interest in reusing classic bosses, with Crayde already debated as a potential returning threat; however, the consensus leans toward selective returns like Arachnus or Ridley, rather than wholesale reappearances.
Episode 340 – Metroid Ravenous Fan Q&A – Part 2
Q: If Metroid Ravenous is a commercial hit, could you see Nintendo asking MercurySteam to work on a remastered Samus Returns for Switch 2?
Yes, there's a reasonable expectation that a successful Ravenous could incentivize a remaster or remake by MercurySteam or another capable studio, especially if fans respond positively to the newer art direction and gameplay tempo.
