Wu-Tang is for the children!
Episode 47: Jonny Kinda Likes Metroid
We usually record Radio Free Nintendo on Sundays, but since this past weekend was Easter, we decided to delay getting together a day so that we could all be with our loved ones. Apparently the festivities went long, however, as only Jonny was available on Monday evening.
Even though we were recording with only two men, there's still a ton of ground covered, from new VC releases to the latest on Resident Evil 4 Wii / Umbrella Chronicles to why Metroid Prime 3 is taking so long to release. It's a jam-packed episode that is a must-listen, if only to hear about my traumatic childhood experience with Galaga.

As for you, Nate, perhaps not. Whenever Jonny's not on, our attitude is that Metroid is terrible, and that Samus should be burned at the stake.
(Totally untrue! Do not kill me, please!)

I think you're in the wrong Talkback thread. ;-)

In fact, I found talking to that luminoth (or whatever they were called) guy in MP2 to be kinda pushing it. I just hope they don't end up inadvertently spoiling what makes Metroid so unique in their efforts to give the series a wider appeal.
Unfortunately.... yeah, Metroid is dead. Nintendo killed it. Just like Zelda, except at least THERE the series had some dignity. Here it doesn't even know the end is coming slowly, creepingly, inevitably.

16:9 means that you're a lot closer to the average movie's ratio than 4:3.

I think it was Zelyon or Zelyan.

QuoteMake sure to get Evan involved. It's pretty much mandatory, considering he didn't shut up about the game for like fifteen podcasts.

EDIT: And have YOU played it yet, Karl? I'm dying to know what you, hater of both previous Paper Marios and SMRPG, think of this latest masterpiece. Have you redeemed yourself? Or have you confirmed once again that you wouldn't know what awesome was if it bit you in the ass?
*You didn't think your anti-Metroid comments would go unnoticed, did you?

I still say that Brawl will be delayed, but Galaxy will be in time for the holidays. Well, unless Wiis are still sold out everywhere; in that case, Galaxy will be delayed to have a bigger effect in terms of selling systems.
