Episode 299 – Reviewing Metroid Prime 4's Great Mines, Mech Parts & Green Energy Crystals
24/12/2025 | 1h 24 mins.
We're back with the next chapter of our Metroid Prime 4: Beyond journey! This week we're approaching the end as we discuss the last major area in the game: the Great Mines. We discuss everything about the area from the art direction, level design, puzzles, the greater emphasis on combat, including some of the unique gameplay hooks that accompany it as well as an absolutely KILLER boss fight that left everyone impressed! We also go over the storyline of the mines regarding the Galactic Federation Troopers that join us and discuss our opinions of how that's handled. All of this, plus a short discussion on the Mech Parts and Green Energy Crystals which make up Metroid Prime 4's version of the series' mainstay endgame fetch quest. Come let us know what your thoughts are, and beware: there are spoilers for the Great Mines and the late game fetch quests! Next week, it's time for the grand finale as we enter the point of no return and discuss the game's last area and final boss. This is a big one, so don't miss out and keep it locked-on at Omega!

17/12/2025 | 1h 45 mins.
It's time for more Metroid Prime 4! This week, we head into the depths of the Ice Belt to explore the remnants of Lamorn experimentation gone wrong, tricky battles against the elements, and more! Then, we jump into the Flare Pool where we find new friends, new foes, and a whole lot of action! Come let us know what your thoughts are, and beware: there are spoilers for Ice Belt and Flare Pool within! Next week, we're back with our thoughts on the Great Mines and the end-game-before-the-end-game, so keep it locked on Omega! Visit OmegaMetroid.com! Subscribe!

Episode 297 - Reviewing Metroid Prime 4's Volt Forge, Sol Valley, & Vi-O-La
10/12/2025 | 1h 26 mins.
We're back with more Metroid Prime 4! This week, we continue our journey and discuss Volt Forge, its crazy puzzles, vertical level design, pounding soundtrack, and pair of awesome, yet curious, boss battles! We then talk Vi-O-La, how it feels, how it handles, what combat is like, and the transition to the biggest point of contention: Sol Valley! What do we think of the desert, do we like the Shrines, are the crashed GF sites interesting, and is the desert just too empty? Plus, we have a HEATED debate about Vi-O-La radio and whether it should be locked behind amiibo or not. Come let us know what your thoughts are, and beware: there are spoilers for Volt Forge and the early parts of the game before Ice Belt within! Next week, we're back with our thoughts on Ice Belt and Flare Pool, so keep it locked on Omega! Visit OmegaMetroid.com! Subscribe! Podbean x iTunes x Spotify x YouTube Support us on Patreon!

Episode 296 – Our Initial Metroid Prime 4 Impressions!
06/12/2025 | 1h 46 mins.
We are in a new era, the post-Metroid Prime 4 release era! To celebrate, we're dropping a special bonus episode of the pod where the entire gang get together to discuss the opening hour or so of Beyond! We talk about our thoughts on the title menu, Quality Mode and how the game runs, the combat and how enemy variety and early combat options impacted us, the graphical prowess and majestic world of Viewros, thoughts on Chrono Tower and Fury Green, what we think of the story so far and how the game sets you up, the Aberax and Carvex boss fights, and our opinions on Myles MacKenzie and if the preview reactions were overblown or not, and so much more! There are spoilers, such as they are, for the story up until the end of Fury Green (your first time there anyways), so be warned! On Wednesday, we're back with our thoughts on Volt Forge, Sol Valley, Vi-O-La, and more! See you then! Visit OmegaMetroid.com! Subscribe! Podbean x iTunes x Spotify x YouTube Support us on Patreon!

Episode 295 - Our Final Fan Q&A Before Metroid Prime 4 + Reactions to Review Scores
03/12/2025 | 1h 46 mins.
This is the LAST EPISODE of the Omega Metroid Podcast you will EVER HEAR before METROID PRIME 4 IS RELEASED! A surreal sentence to type, and to celebrate, we are answering a whole gambit of questions, such as: is it better to sell more copies with a lower Metracritic score, or sell less with higher quality? Are we planning om playing in Quality or Performance mode? Are open areas going to be the norm going forward? What's one thing we hope the game doesn't do with Sylux? How could you make Myles actually a cool character? All this, PLUS we dicuss the early critical reception to Beyond, talk about the developmental timeline, and give thanks to all the Metroid fans that have been with us on this journey! Make sure you check this out, and we'll see you this weekend for a special edition of the podcast with our first impressions! Visit OmegaMetroid.com! Subscribe!
