Episode 17: SA-X, Dark Samus, Little Birdie, and Examining the Use of Clones & Dopplegangers in Metroid
This week’s episode is all about the clones and dark versions of Samus in the Metroid series! We examine how Nintendo uses the classic trope in the series and talk about where it works (SA-X, Dark Samus, Ridley-X, and more) and where it doesn’t exactly hit the mark (Little Birdie, Mini-Kraid, etc.). We also read off YOUR answers from Twitter about the use of doppelgangers, and ask if we should see this continue in the series.
This, PLUS we talk about the latest Retro Studios hires, a new Metroidvania on Kickstater, and more! Come check it out!

Doominal Crossing is a Website Editor at Omega Metroid & one of the big 3 on the Omega Metroid Podcast. Don’t let the name fool you, Metroid comes first before anything else! When not talking endlessly about his love for the series, you can find him in the studio making music that’s probably related to it in some way.
