Omega Metroid Podcast Episode 331 – Honoring 40 Years of Metroid
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.
All this plus some talk about Spider-Man: Brand New Day, The Odyssey, and a quick roundup of the successful 2026 Zelda Dungeon Marathon!
