Our Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Anniversary month draws to a close this week as we take a deep dive (get it?) into one of the most atmospheric and haunting areas in the game: Torvus Bog! We examine the three distinct parts - upper Torvus Bog, Subterranean, and Dark Torvus Bog - and talk about our favorite rooms in the area, some of the most memorable expansions you can collect, the lore behind the area and its history as a forest, some of the notable bosses and enemies in the area, and a discussion on what might be one of the best musical remixes in the series! All this, PLUS a little Omega Metroid Podcast announcement - all new episodes will now be releasing on Wednesdays, so FYI! Come and enjoy the Bog with us!   Visit OmegaMetroid.com!   Subscribe!

As November comes to a close, so does our month-long coverage on the 20th anniversary of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. To conclude this month of content, we're busting out an old gem from the early days of the Definitive Ranking series - WITH A TWIST! Echoes was ranked before Doominal Crossing joined the podcast, meaning he never got a say on this legendary title. Today, Doom takes the driver's seat to host a mega review along with 3 special guests making their debut on the pod; Doeboy, Trav Guy & ThatMetroidGuy! Together, this fully assembled Metroid squad take on the definitive ranking gauntlet FOR OVER 2 HOURS in an effort to redetermine Echoes' placement amongst the greats. Join us for this special grand finale event! All of this plus talking about the newly announced Metroid Prime 1-3: Visual Retrospective and why we're all hyped for it! FINAL SCORES: Doominal Crossing - 4.6 / 5 Doeboy - 3.9 / 5 Trav Guy - 4.1 / 5 ThatMetroidGuy - 4.2 / 5   Visit OmegaMetroid.com!   Subscribe!

Echoes month rolls along as Andy and Doom rank the bosses of Metroid Prime 2, and things get HEATED! With so many great bosses to pick from, ranking them all was certainly a challenge, but one we enjoyed!

Come let us know what your rankings are, and if you're Team Doom or Team Andy!

We have a breezy show this week, as we talk about Nintendo's confirmation Switch 2 will be backwards compatible and NSO will transfer over, go over the updated Dread and Prime sales numbers, speculate on when we'll see Switch 2 revealed and what the consoles gimmick will be (if any!), plus talk about what Metroid needs to do to appeal to a wider audience.

With Halloween right around the corner, we thought that would be cool to take a spin around the world of Metroid and talk about the scariest areas and monsters, PLUS some areas that should have been scary, but unfortunately, were not. We go over areas such as the Wrecked Ship, GFS Valhalla, and Genetics Laboratory, cover monsters like the Nightmare, Corpius, and Experiment Z-57, and talk about the lack of dread in Metroid Dread and what we might have changed in the E.M.M.I. zones. All this, PLUS we go over our favorite Halloween games! Come hang out with us, and happy Halloween!   Visit OmegaMetroid.com!   Subscribe! Podbean x iTunes x Spotify x YouTube Support us on Patreon!

There are tons of great Metroid ideas out there, but there are just as many bad ones, if not more!

Tune in and check out our thoughts on these ideas, then let us know -- what are your worst Metroid ideas ever?!   Visit OmegaMetroid.com!   Subscribe!

Metroid Manga in Review returns! This time, we're talking about the third, and for our money, best volume of the manga so far! Our heroes are taking on a whole slew of enemies, including rival bounty hunters, Galactic Federation detectives, a secret arms dealer organization, and an incredible new big bad revealed at the end! We go over the artwork, including the famous shot of Samus in her cloak, the story beats, our thoughts on the growth of the series and the anime, and where the final issue could be headed!
