Ep.51 – The Hunt for Space Pirates

We're here to talk about the original Metroid to celebrate its 35th Anniversary! Released on August 6th, 1986, Metroid has become one of Nintendo's power franchises. As part of the discussion, we'll talk about how Metroid came to be, and learn all about the its namesake genre, Metroidvania. We'll also talk about portmanteaus, before hearing from people who don't like Metroid. Join us for this week's pirate hunting trip down Memory Card Lane.
