Episode 204 – Honoring 20 Years of Metroid: Zero Mission
This week’s show is a special one, as we’re honoring one of the most fundamentally sound yet least heralded Metroid games: Metroid Zero Mission! Come and listen as we give this game its flowers, talking about our first memories of playing it, why it wasn’t a bigger deal at the time, and the unforgettable stealth sequence. We also reflect on the legacy it left behind, including how it set the standard for remakes in the Metroid series, introducing the world to Zero Suit Samus, and the rebirth of the Power Bomb as Metroid’s ultimate weapon, and more! These are only a handful of the topics on the table, so come wax nostalgic about Zero Mission with us!
All this, PLUS, we follow up on the Xbox podcast, give some thoughts on the Nintendo Partner Direct, and speculate about what this means for te Switch 2!
