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!

The AM2R celebration continues for one final week, this time with a bit of a role reversal! Doom takes the command chair as the host, while Andy calls in from Chicago on break from the Zelda Dungeon Marathon. This week, the duo is diving back into AM2R one more time to definitively rank every boss in the game. This exceptionally strong collection of fights is ranked in order from the Ancient Guardian at the very beginning of the game, all the way to the Queen Metroid at the finale. Joining the episode is several cameo appearances from various Zelda Dungeon runners, including our very own Gooey Fame from the hit Patreon series, Gooey Plays Metroid!

Tune in to the 2026 Zelda Dungeon Marathon going through Saturday and help the crew raise money for the Greater Chicago Food Depository!

We are back with another episode celebrating the 10th anniversary of AM2R! This week, we're answering YOUR questions including: where can people find AM2R? How do you download it?

Does this remake have the best soundtrack of any Metroid game? What other official Metroid title would benefit from the "AM2R treatment"?

All this, PLUS some Castlevania news and Zelda Dungeon Marathon talk! Come celebrate with us!

The gang are back and kicking off a summer of important anniversaries! First up - we honor 10 years of AM2R, the amazing fan-made remake of Metroid 2, developed by Milton Guasti and a handful of other contributors that released August 6, 2016. Andy and Doom share their experiences playing it for the first time, what makes this game so special, the unbelievable level of quality this remake achieves, meeting and discussing AM2R with Milton, and why a project like this could probably never happen again!

All this and more, PLUS as a great companion episode, be sure to check out our exclusive Director's Commentary with Milton Guasti. The AM2R love continues next week, as we take fan questions, so ask anything about AM2R and we will answer!
