Episode Synopsis

Metroid is so influential to video games that to call it revolutionary would be selling it short. Mitch, Bryan, and Ryan struggle to limit the discussion to just this very important game because of that. Metroid being the Grandmother of the Metroidvania subgenre is a huge talking point of this episode but we didn't forget to talk about this title that started it all.
